Chapter 199 Her Father’s Brother
Finished
Carl gestured animatedly with his hand. “A bottle this big–bam!-right to the head. You tell me, what should I do about that?”
Wyatt, facing Yunice’s gaze, instinctively averted his eyes..
“He…” Yunice faltered for a while, then finally said, “He assaulted a senior. That’s on him.”
Carl clicked his tongue. “If I’d known this is the kind of guy you were marrying–reckless and violent I wouldn’t have bothered showing up for your wedding.”
Yunice lowered her head and muttered, “Mr. Carl… You already know about the wedding?”
Carl snorted, “I heard the Powell family had something to celebrate. Asked around, found out Paul wasn’t marrying you–this guy is marrying the Saunders girl. And there’s only one Miss Saunders, right? So here I am.”
A bunny girl walked in with a first–aid kit, setting it down while eyeing Yunice with clear disbelief. She probably never imagined the least eye–catching woman here would turn out to be someone. Carl personally favored.
Yunice hesitated. The truth was, she was no longer the only daughter of the Saunders family, and the reason the Powell family continued to publicly call her Miss Saunders was because she didn’t even have a real name in that household.
Still, Carl likely didn’t know that. He must’ve arranged today’s meeting with Wyatt as a character
Test.
From the looks of things… Wyatt hadn’t passed.
Carl had leverage over Wyatt’s development project. If he wanted to, he could help Yunice stop. the wedding altogether.
But things had changed. Her father was gone. Yunice wasn’t sure how much Carl still cared.
After all, even her own family had betrayed her.
Seeing the sadness on her face, Carl assumed she was still upset over Paul. He huffed, “I never liked that punk anyway. Good riddance.”
Then his eyes landed on Wyatt again, full of scrutiny. “Mr. Cooper, you’ve already taken your
wing. Don’t you think it’s time to sit down for a bit?”
Vyati frowned slightly, then turned to Yunice. “Aren’t you going to introduce us?”
“Oh!” Yunice realized, flustered. This is Mr. Carl. He was my father’s senior–his sworn brother.. My dad went into medicine, Mr. Carl went into business.”
Carl nodded with mock solemnity. “That’s right. We were close. I treat Yunice like my own daughter Which makes me your dad, too”

The sheer shamelessness made Yunice want to crawl into a hole. Afted Wyatt would and punch someone again, she hurried to change the subject–only for Carl to see her.
He pressed on with a scoff. “Look at him–all decked out in designer clothes–meanwhile you’re wearing some cheap polyester junk from a sidewalk sale. I got zapped by static three times just standing near you?”
Xunice was so embarrassed, she didn’t even dare to look up
