The Wife He Forgot to Marry (Winona and Yule) novel Chapter 190

But since Yulen spoiled Tallulah, Camille had no choice but to clean up after her. She sent Winona’s proposal to Sylvan under Tallulah’s name. Sylvan, believing it was Tallulah’s work, was thoroughly impressed and immediately agreed to partner with Locke Group.

On Thursday evening, Winona went to Jericho Harper’s house to report on her recent progress. After listening, Jericho smiled. “I’ve always had complete confidence in your work, my dear. With you leading this project, I’m sure we’ll see results soon.”

He handed her two thick, bound notebooks. “These are some notes I’ve compiled recently. Take them and see if they’re useful to you.”

A notebook from Mr. Harper was a priceless treasure, a textbook you couldn’t find anywhere on the market. Winona accepted it as if it were the holy grail of research, her eyes lighting up. “Thank you, Mr. Harper! I’ll study them diligently.”

“An old friend of mine is coming to Riverton tomorrow,” Jericho added. “He’s also a genius in the R&D field. I want you to come with me. I’ll ask him to give you some pointers.”

When Winona heard he was going to introduce her to Valor Bell, a renowned pharmacy professor from Apex University in the Capital, she was thrilled. “Of course! I’ll be there on time tomorrow.”

When Winona excused herself to the restroom, Sylvan couldn’t resist leaning in to “warn” Jericho. “That Ms. Jowett of yours is quite the character. You shouldn’t let her fool you. She’s incredibly calculating. I doubt she’s sticking by your side to learn anything seriously. She’s probably just using you to meet more eligible men and climb the social ladder.”

Jericho’s face turned glacial. “Bullshit!” he snapped. “How dare you slander my student’s character!” The irony of a man with such a flawed character daring to judge someone else’s was laughable and infuriating.

Seeing Jericho’s staunch defense of Winona, Sylvan became even more convinced of her manipulative prowess. *Fine,* he thought. *Some people just won’t listen to good advice. If Jericho wants to be deceived, so be it.*
