Jake replied to the text promptly.
“Got it, Boss! I’ll check right away! But why would you need me to check it? Wait, Boss, is the Murray family trying to arrange a marriage alliance with another prestigious family for you?”
Yvette typed her reply calmly. “No, stop questioning so much. Just do as I say. Once you find out, offer them a sum of money to break off the
engagement.”
Jake replied, “No problem, Boss!”
Yvette put away her phone and strode in. Upon seeing her, Irwin and Yara stopped discussing the engagement and greeted her with bright smiles.
“Yvie, you’re back!” Yara immediately held Yvette’s hand and sat her down on the couch. “Are you tired? Let me give you a massage.”
Irwin approached them and said with a smile, “vie, do you want some fruits? How about I peel an apple for you?”
Watching the scene from the stairs, Yasmin felt extremely irritated.
Jealousy filled her eyes as she exclaimed, “Uncle Irwin, Aunt Yara, I have good news! I just received an audition invitation from Starlight Entertainment! The audition is tomorrow, and I’m a bit nervous about it.”
“Wow, that’s amazing! Starlight Entertainment is the top entertainment company in the country! Yasmin, you must cherish this opportunity!
“Yeah, Yasmin, we’ll support you!”
Yara and Irwin praised Yasmin, but their attention remained on Yvette.
Although Yasmin felt even more upset about it, she maintained her kind and innocent smile. “With your encouragement, I feel much more confident!”
Yara looked at her with a smile. “Silly goose, we’re family! No need to be so formal!”
Yasmin immediately held Yara’s arm affectionately and said coquettishly, “Aunt Yara, can you come with me to the audition tomorrow? Your company will boost my confidence!”
“Of course, no problem!”
With Yara’s promise, Yasmin’s eyes sparkled with smugness. She continued to cling to Yara and acted coquettishly to keep their attention off Yvette.
Yvette was used to Yasmin’s little tricks. She ignored Yasmin and walked up to the second floor instead. She wanted to find the emerald pendant and return it to Martha the next time she visited the hospital.
However, the drawer where she kept the emerald pendant was now empty. Her expression turned gloomy instantly. She summoned the household staff responsible for cleaning her room.
“Who has been in my room while I was away?”
The household staff’s eyes darted around as they started to play dumb,
“Ms. Murray, no one has entered your room while you were away!!
“She’s right. Except for us cleaning your room, no one else has entered!”
Yvette could see through their lies immediately. She narrowed her eyes and exuded grimness.
“Are you sure no one else has enteredBelonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
my room?”
“Of course, Ms. Murray! We assure you that no one else has been in your room!”
