Chapter 524
After finishing their meal, Yvette and Madison each went back home.
Just as Yvette walked into the living room, Jacob approached. His tone was as gentle as ever, saying, “Yvie, you’re back! Why don’t you accompany me to a banquet?”
“Why don’t you ask Nancy to go with you?” Yvette wasn’t fond of attending banquets, so she softly declined.
But as soon as the words left her mouth, she saw the disappointment on Jacob’s face, his tone filled with sadness. “Yvie, it’s so rare that you have time off. I just wanted to spend more time with you, but you won’t even give me the chance
Jacob was becoming more manipulative by the day. Who did he learn this from?
Yvette gently pressed her tongue against her back teeth and helplessly rubbed her forehead. She finally agreed. “Fine, Jacob. I’ll go with you to the banquet.”
“Yyie, you’re the best!” A smile reappeared on Jacob’s handsome face, and his tone was both gentle and indulgent. “I’ve already prepared a gown for you. Go upstairs and try it on!”
Yvette couldn’t help but frown. If the gown had already been prepared in advance… She could sense some sort of scheme going on.
Jacob stepped out first. He opened the car door like a gentleman and extended his hand to help
Yvette out.
Yvette wore a white evening gown, her hair simply tied up. She only had some lipstick on, yet even with such a simple look, she was breathtakingly beautiful.
All the men in the banquet hall were visibly stunned. They all eagerly but politely stepped forward to greet Yvette.
Yvette responded courteously to each of them, but soon realized something was off.
All the men at the banquet were young, oddly so. This wasn’t a business banquet at all. It was more like a matchmaking banquet!
When Jacob noticed Yvette’s gaze on him, he smiled warmly at her. “Yvie, you’re still young, and you have plenty of choices. Besides, you’re the cherished little princess of our Murray family. You should take your time and choose carefully to find the best one!
“Each of these young men was personally selected by me from distinguished families. Every single one of them is outstanding, and most importantly, none of them are over 24 years of age.”
Hearing the way Jacob deliberately emphasized the age factor, Yvette couldn’t help but smirk.
Chapter 524
Jacob sure knew how to get under Wilson’s skin.
If a certain someone found out about this, he’d definitely get jealous again.
“Jacob, I’ve already found the best one. There’s no need to look further.” Yvette said calmly, ” I’ll be heading back now.”
Wilson’s jealousy was a serious issue, and he was a hassle to placate.
When Jacob saw that Yvette was ready to leave, he hurriedly stopped her. “Yvie, just do it for me. Stay a little longer, okay?
“Yvie, the last time he tricked me, I ended up being blocked by Nancy again. Yvie, you can’t be so biased toward Wilson!”
Jacob continued, “Yvie, if you keep favoring Wilson like this, I’ll get jealous too!”
Yvette sighed.and said, “Alright.”
After all, Wilson did trick Jacob first. Letting him get jealous for a bit today wouldn’t hurt.
“Wilson!” Collin rushed into Wilson’s office, clearly out of breath. “I just got some news
“Get out.” Wilson coldly interrupted him, his devilishly handsome face full of irritation. He was in a foul mood. Just the thought of Yvette disliking how clingy he was made Wilson
Was Yyette already taking him for granted now that she had him? Was she already starting to dislike how close he was? Would she soon be looking for a new fiancé?
Normally, upon seeing Wilson in such a bad mood, Collin would’ve already made a run for it. But today, he let out a carefree laugh and casually said, “Wilson, are you sure you don’t want to hear the news I just received?”
“Do you want to be shipped off to Wakara again?” Wilson, clearly fed up, shot him a cold glance.
Standing nearby, Samuel gave Collin a look full of sympathy.
Collin sure knew how to pick his moments, choosing to show up just when Wilson had been sent away by Yvette for being too clingy. Wasn’t he just asking for trouble?
When Collin heard this, his laid–back attitude vanished in an instant. “No, Wilson, I definitely don’t want to go back to that dreadful place! I just got my complexion back to normal, and I need it to woo the ladies! Besides, I really have important news this time!”
Collin quickly became serious, no longer acting nonchalant. “Wilson, I just found out that Jacob took Yvette to a matchmaking banquet. And all the young men he picked are under 24 years of age, not a single one older!”
