The Invisible Daughter (Yunice Saunders) novel Chapter 555

Chapter 555 Two Horns, One Heart

“Open it and have a look.” Wyatt said, ignoring Victor now.

Yanice’s expression shifted slightly. His confidence intrigued her–what had he given her that made him so certain it would win her favor over Victor?

Her hand hovered over Wyatt’s box. A quiet weight settled in her chest.

This was a delicate moment. No matter what Wyatt had brought, she had to be diplomatic. Disappointing either man would cost her.

Victor had clearly gone to great lengths to procure the rhino horn. She couldn’t afford to let his effort feel overlooked.

But Wyatt was making it a direct challenge–he wouldn’t let her brush it off.

So Yunice complied and opened the box.

Victor kept a neutral face, but his eyes flicked toward it. He was curious too, even if he believed nothing Wyatt could offer would beat what he’d brought

After all, Yunice needed rhino horn most right now.

“Rhino horn?” Yunice’s voice held a flicker of genuine surprise.

Victor’s brow furrowed. His gaze turned slightly strange as he looked down at the box in Wyatt’s hand. Inside was, unmistakably, a rhino horn.

Wyatt looked satisfied. “Happy with it? Didn’t you say just a few days ago that you needed rhino horn to help your friend?”

But the expression on both Yunice and Victor’s faces wasn’t quite what Wyatt had expected..

Sharp as ever, Wyatt immediately sensed something was off. His smile faded slightly. Then, without a word, he lifted the lid of Victor’s box.

Inside was another rhino horn–nearly identical.

His eyes widened for two seconds before his expression cooled, jaw tightening.

Yunice tensed.

Then Wyatt curled his lips. “So you asked Victor for one too. Guess mine was a bit redant. (2)

Before Yunice could speak, Victor smoothly cut in. “Don’t sell yourself short, Mr. Wyatt. Since you knew she needed rhino horn, she must’ve told you about it personally. I only got here first.”

Wyatt glanced up and down Victor with a smirk. “You really know how to make an insult sound polite.

So I’m late, and that means I don’t care enough? Is that it?

The air between them grew sharp.

Yunice quickly stepped in. “Enough. Rhino horn isn’t easy to come by–I know that henter than any Thank you both for going through so much trouble for me.”

“If there’s ever anything you need from me, just ask.”

Wyatt buffed. “What are you talking about? You’re my wife. Helping you doesn’t count as ‘trouble

Clearly directed at Victor–a dig for trying to score points.

Victor didn’t react, only smiled and said, “Then I’ll remember that and ask you for help next time

Yunice nodded with a polite smile

Victor added, “Now that I have the rhino horn, keeping it does me no good. I’ll leave it with you–for future needs.

He looked at Wyatt calmly, then turned and walked away without a fuss.

Back in the car, Freya was sitting in the driver’s seat playing a mobile game. She didn’t even look at Victor as she asked, “What took you so long? Weren’t you afraid Wyatt would throw a jealous fit?”

Victor fastened his seatbelt. “It’s because I ran into Wyatt that it took so long.”

Freya looked over, interested. “Don’t tell me he brought Yunice a rhino horn too?”

“He did,” Victor said evenly.

Freya didn’t seem surprised. “Well, that’s not shocking. Rhino horn isn’t some cheap, common item. If Yunice needed it, of course she asked around. Wyatt getting one too makes sense.”
