Yvonne had never mentioned this to Sean Quinn—not because she was worried someone might steal him away, but because, frankly, men were never at the center of her universe. Besides, she trusted Sean.
“I’ll find someone else, then,” Sean offered, not wanting Yvonne to be troubled.
“That’s not necessary. You’re the one in charge of risk assessment. If you think she’s reliable, then go ahead and use her,” Yvonne replied, meeting his eyes.
“Yvonne, do you know what’s most infuriating about you?” Sean’s voice held a trace of exasperation.
She rolled her eyes. There was a streak of rebellion in every bone of her body—she could be aggravating in a hundred ways, and she had no idea which one he meant.
“You never get jealous for my sake. If you’ve known all along that she was interested in me, why are you only bringing it up now?” Sean wasn’t hiding his irritation.
“It’s her right to have a crush on you. Whether you respond, whether you get swept away—that’s on you. If you’re so easily led astray, why would I want you? I don’t need a guy with the backbone of wilted lettuce.” Yvonne grabbed his tie, tugged him close, and slid into his lap. “Sweetheart, there are three and a half billion men on this planet. I can move on any time I want.”
Sean’s gaze grew darker, and in the next second, he pulled her even closer, pressing a possessive kiss to her lips. “Try finding someone else, and see what happens…”
…
White Manor.
Reginald had barely been home a few days before falling ill. This time, it was serious. The White family and White Corporation had gone into full crisis mode.
He understood his own condition all too well. That’s why, out of nowhere, he’d announced that Nicole was an impostor and rushed to reinforce his will. He was desperate to lay the groundwork for his granddaughter, terrified that he might die before everything was settled.
“Reginald, you’re awake.” Alicia had been keeping watch by his bedside.
She didn’t know why Tyrone Lynch wanted her there, but if Tyrone asked, she obeyed.
