Restoring a Life After Seven Years of Wrong Love novel Chapter 179

"Yes. If anyone tries to go after the Yeats family, I need you to step in and protect them," she explained. "The Yeats family will compete for business projects fair and square. It's fine if they lose because their skills aren't up to par, but they can't be sabotaged."

She certainly wasn't narcissistic enough to believe that Jabez would take out his anger on her family just because she left Kingsbrook.

He had no feelings for her; her departure meant absolutely nothing to him.

She wasn't guarding against Jabez. She was guarding against the Huxleys.

If Jabez married Willow soon, the Huxley family would become in-laws to the Shelbys. Their social standing would skyrocket, making it effortless for them to suppress the Yeats family.

She had to take precautions.

"Can you promise me this?" Yvette's voice tightened.

Milton and Jabez were childhood friends. If Jabez genuinely decided to target the Yeats family, Milton might not be willing to jeopardize their brotherhood just for her.

Milton considered it for a moment before nodding. "I can."

In his mind, while Jabez was notoriously ruthless in business, his character was solid.

He wouldn't attack the Yeats family for no reason.

He assumed Yvette was mostly worried about Willow, given their terrible relationship.

However, he believed Willow was a kindhearted person who would never resort to underhanded tactics in the dark.

He truly thought Yvette was just overthinking things.

"Thank you."

"No need. This is a trade," Milton replied.

Yvette added, "I'd also appreciate it if you kept our arrangement completely between us."

"Within this next month, you can bring Nola to see me anytime, but no more than ten times. And honestly, sometimes I won't be able to stay with her for the whole day."

She needed to dedicate most of her time to restoring Dr. Walder's painting.

Milton nodded understandingly. "Deal."

Upon returning to the Graham estate, he carried Nola back to her room. Just then, he received a call from Trent.

"Milton, are you back yet? Do you have time to go see Willow now?"

Milton went silent for two seconds. "Yeah."
