Chapter 233

“‘Yvonne wasn’t stupid. She could easily hear the insult in Jeremy’s words, but she had to admit was telling the truth

The wick family’s fortune began with a stroke of luck. Walter bought a load of dummonds at a low price and flipped them for a huge profit. And of course, Wonne enjoyed the comfort and luxury that came with a

However, the Zwick family had been in decline since. If it weren’t for Jeremy, they probably would ham been kicked out of Cloudridge’s high society ages. ago, never mind holding their place now.

Though Wonne knew Jeremy was right, she couldn’t help but retort, “I never wanted to marry you. That’s not wha

It was Walter who forced her to approach Jeremy. The thought of how she had, under Walter’s pressure, tried so hard to win Jeremy’s favor, only to be met with disdain, made her upset.

Seeing her face, Jeremy let out a mocking laugh. “Oh, so I got you wrong. Do you want to marry Vincent then? Too bad he doesn’t want you at all. If you hadn’t followed Ms. Bennett all day, he might never have noticed you.”

Yvonne froze. She glanced nervously around as if afraid someone might overhear, Seeing no one paying attention, she relaxed a bit but still looked evasive “don’t know what you’re talking about.”

She had kept this secret well, and even Emily didn’t know after all this time. She had no idea how Jeremy had figured it out

Jeremy sneered. “Really? Do you w

want me to be clearer? You have a thing for Vincent, don’t you?”

“Shut up.” Yvonne blurted out, reaching to grab Jeremy. However, Jeremy just stepped aside, his look full of contempt.

“Calm down. I’m not interested in your business,” Jeremy said with a crooked smile. “Just don’t drag the Windrose family into your mess. I don’t care who you go after.”

He made his position clear. He wouldn’t help Yvonne against Emily, and whatever she did was none of his business as long as the Windrose family stayed

Aher saying that, Jeremy walked away before Wonne could say anything.

The arrogance and disdain on his face vanished the moment he turned around, replaced by the polished courtesy of a perfect gentleman, like he had simply swapped one mask for another.

Yvonne was so furious that she wanted to kill Jeremy, but she held back. She couldn’t afford to offend the Windrose family.

Wonne took a few deep breaths, got her feelings under control, and went back to talk to the ques

Not long after they leht, Emily came out of the corner, Watching Yvonne’s back, she felt both ballled and speechless.

She caught the conversation between Yvonne and Jeremy, but only now found out that Yvonne liked Vincent. She hadn’t noticed it at all after all these

years.

Emily suddenly remembered Lily mentioning that Yvonne was after her because she was the most popular woman in Cloudridge. Now she thought maybe Vincent was part of the reason, too,

She thought, “Vincent is in love with Lydia now, who is the one everyone calls the most captivating woman in Cloudridge. Given how extreme Yvonne can be, why would she ever choose to stay in Lydia’sshadow?”

Emily couldn’t shake the feeling that there was something increasingly strange about Lydia.

Emily glanced away and stared in the direction Jeremy had just left. She thought that in a way, they were pretty similar. One was a fake heiress, and the other a fake heir.

Z ALO!

Ever since working with the Bennett family on a project, the Jenkins family’s influence in Cloudridge had grown. As the project leader, Sofia was only

Emily’s only contact with Sofia was when she acted alongside Xavier, and it wasn’t friendly at all. Therefore, it was weird that of came to greet her at an event like this.

Emily stepped back warily as soon as she saw Sofia, clearly on guard.

Sofia smiled again. “When we met last time, I could tell you were a wonderful girl. Too bad Xavier didn’t know how lucky he was.”

She sounded honest and serious, and if Emily wasn’t so sharp, she might have fallen for it. It had been ages since she acted alongside Xavier. She was certain Sofia was up to something by coming over now.
