Upon ending the phone call at the end of the corridor, Yanny turned around to see Lucas leaning by the wall of the walkway, waiting for her.
She knew this brother of Shayne would not be looking for her for nothing. However, for him to seek her out behind Shayne’s back, he must have had some unspeakable things to tell her.
Yanny asked jokingly, “Young Master Zander rarely talks to me in private. Could it be that you have some cheesy confession for your good friend’s woman?”
“You’re quite a narcissistic woman. Although you’re as pretty as an angel, I’m not so kinky to fall in love with a heartless woman like you.”
Yanny laughed at the comment and kindly reminded him, “I’d advise Young Master Zander to avoid referring to me as ‘woman’ just like that. It’ll be bad if Shayne heard it. Why don’t you call me Big Sis instead?”
Yanny remembered that Lucas was one year younger than Shayne. Therefore, he should call her Big Sis.
“You!” Lucas ground his teeth in agitation. The woman was a powerful figure with quite a sharp tongue.
‘Previously, Old Shayne was even worried that Lucas might bully Yanny. But with her being like this, who’d be able to bully her?’
It was more likely for Yanny to bully others.
Lucas took a deep breath and suppressed the rage in him as he said in an unfriendly tone, “You think I don’t know you’re getting married to Old Shayne just for his status? Back then you rode on Old Shayne’s coattails to rise up in the entertainment industry. You then used Old Shayne’s connections to advance your career to Hollywood and made no contact with him for two years. Only Old Shayne would be so blinded by love and be toyed by you like this. Now that you’re back, you managed to woo him into marrying you. Two years in Hollywood and you managed to win an Oscar for best actress, now being known across the world. Yanny, you’re truly quite capable and have a few tricks up your sleeves.”
Yanny listened to his words quietly without any hint of displeasure. In fact, she even had a faint, polite smile on her face, calm and composed.
Lucas warned, “It’s fine for you to just play around normally. If you dare to cheat on Old Shayne, you’ll die without knowing what hit you.”
Yanny laughed gently. Her clear eyes locked with Lucas’s unfriendly gaze before she said calmly, “I didn’t know that Young Master Zander is actually in love with my Shayne. However, you’ve lost your chance. From now on, Shayne is mine. Young Master Zander, you need to move on.”
‘This b*tch! You’re just playing with my words!’
Lucas sneered. “You better be sincere in your marriage with Old Shayne!”
Yanny felt that his words were childish. “If I’m not sincerely trying to marry Shayne then what can you do? He’s willing to accept me.”
“So now you’re admitting that you’re getting married to Old Shayne for his money?”
Yanny burst out laughing. “Love can’t be tainted by money. Money will only purify love. That which can be tainted is not considered love. If Young Master Zander encounters any relationship that can be tainted by money, then you have to be careful. Don’t let them trick you. That’s just a lie people use when there’s no love.”
Lucas was struck speechless. This woman’s tongue was just as sharp as Shayne’s. They were quite the match for each other.
Having said that, Yanny casually headed off to the private room.
Lucas stood there frowning and said, “You don’t love Old Shayne, right? What have you done for him? He might not see it but we outsiders can see everything clearly. You b*tch, you have no love for him at all.”
Yanny stopped in her tracks and chuckled, feeling absurd. She turned her head slightly and replied, “So Young Master Zander wants me to give him a long speech of what I’ve done for Shayne? You’re not him so what’s the point of me telling you? My marriage with Shayne is between him and me. I can understand your concern for Shayne as his friend and brother. However, I have no need to tell you everything between us, nor do I care what you think of me. Regardless of your thoughts, I’m going to marry Shayne and share my life with him.
“Even if you don’t believe that I’ll share my life with Shayne, that’s fine as well. We don’t have to answer anyone regarding this matter. In fact, I don’t even need to promise Shayne anything because love is not some empty promise simply made from my words. Instead, it’s something you feel. Young Master Zander, I’m just answering your pointed questions out of goodwill. However, I won’t be bothered to answer these pointless questions that have nothing to do with you in the future.”
Lucas was speechless.
He stood still, flabbergasted.
This woman really had a silver tongue.
