The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming (Natalie and Marcus) novel Chapter 195

Grace might have personally groomed Yvonne, and she had worked under Natalie for a while, but at the end of the day, she was just a secretary.

Selena, on the other hand, was the daughter Victor and Diana recently welcomed back into their lives. Everyone had seen firsthand how much Victor doted on her.

Yvonne didn't dare directly confront Selena. Instead, she tried reasoning with Kevin, but he wasn't about to listen to her.

Kevin lay flat on the rooftop, hands folded on his chest, exuding an air of calm.

"Ms. Yvonne, don't waste your breath on me. Go talk to Selena instead," he said, staring at the sky with a sigh. "I've been around long enough to know shamelessness when I see it, but she's set a new record."

He continued, his tone dripping with sarcasm. "Selling my shares to Victor is already a favor. But now his daughter wants them for free? If she's so set on it, I'll die right here with her.

"She's got no shame, and apparently, that makes her invincible." Kevin gave a bitter laugh. "Looking back, I wish I'd spat on her a few more times."

Yvonne's expression froze. She thought Selena's behavior was also outrageous—trying to exchange a humiliating moment for Kevin's shares. How could that ever happen?

But she couldn't push Selena too hard. Everyone in the company had seen how Selena acted when she lost her temper.

"Ms. Yvonne, just wait for Mrs. Langley Senior to come back and handle this. You're just an employee. You don't need to risk your neck for this mess," Kevin advised, glancing at her pale face.

"Mrs. Langley Senior's health is failing," Yvonne said, her worry evident. "I'm really concerned about her."

"For such a big company, it's ridiculous that they couldn't find someone else to keep things together," Kevin said sarcastically.

Yvonne didn't respond. In the past, no matter how bad things got, Natalie always stepped in quietly and handled it. Yvonne had no idea how Natalie got things done or who she relied on, but she always fixed the problems.

Yvonne shook her head, defeated. Kevin smiled.

"Well, then, let it be. Selena and I can keep this standoff going. She doesn't care about her reputation, so why should I care about mine?" he said, his voice calm but pointed.

"I've lived long enough. I've had my share of the good life. Selena, on the other hand, is still young. Let's see if she'll need that reputation of hers someday."

He glanced at Yvonne and added with a smirk, "Have you heard about her little stunt at her engagement party in Dithoria State? Those photos and videos from her past affairs with other men? All out in the open."

His words were sharp, filled with mockery. "Grace spent her whole life obsessed with her family's dignity, and now? Every last bit of it has been destroyed. Poetic justice, don't you think?"

Yvonne stood there, speechless.

"Listen to me, Ms. Yvonne," Kevin said, his tone softening slightly. "Get out of this mess while you still can. Quit. Don't let yourself get dragged down with them. It's not worth it."
