Chapter 191
Chapter 191 His murrage ? What does that have to do with me ? I countered , my voice colder than usual .
1 knew Marlon was testing me , and I didnt appreciate it .
Tair enough .
Marlon said , then quickly broke into a grin .
Dont be so serious .
I was just joking .
1 furrowed my brow but said nothing more .
The next few days .
Dylan and I stayed in Marlons villa .
Marlon was planning to go overseas to expand , while he had urgent domestic matters to handle .
He also needed to deal with Ethans whereabouts , which hed discovered The Warner family already had a stronghold abroad and frequently traveled across the country .
But Dylan hadnt graduated vet , and with his family still in Elysiumville , I wasnt keen on having him join me overseas .
Dylan .
Ive thought this through .
You should stay in Elysiumville .
Marlon will arrange for you to return from the coast , and the Parkers wont suspect anything .
I urged him seriously .
But he refused outright .
Yvonne , wherever you go , I go .
Dylan replied casually , walking out of the open kitchen with a bowl of pasta .
He seemed awkward as he said .
What do you think ? Ive never cooked before , but I figured Id give it a try .
Shouldve learned from my I was discussing the future , and yet here he was , fixated on a bowl of pasta .
What about your studies ? Dont you want to graduate ? I frowned , sharpening my tone .
Dylan handed me the fork nonchalantly .
That doesnt matter .
It does matter .
I emphasized , frustrated .
Why was he being so stubborn ? He didnt seem to notice my irritation and smiled .
Then Ill just study abroad .
Yvonne , can you lend me some tuition fees ? Ill pay you back when I graduate .
I was about to get upset , but he added , Tve looked it up .
Psychology is more advanced abroad , and Ill learn better there .
I stared at him , stunned .
I didnt know youd really considered it .
Of course .
Medicine is about saving lives , and psychology is another way to help people .
Plus , I want to understand myself better , understand the world better .
As he spoke , I could see the spark in his eyes .
He was truly passionate about studying psychology .
I was silent , and Dylan saw my hesitation .
Softening , he almost pleaded , Yvonne , let me go ? Ive never been abroad .
You always say youre grateful to me , so why not take me with you ? Let me see the world .
What do you think ? I couldnt refuse .
After all , he was an adult now .
He knew what he was doing and what he wanted .
There was nothing more I could say .
Maybe after some time abroad , hed want to return on his own .
Three days later , Marlon arranged for a private jet , and the three of us flew to Frixyia .
Just before the plane took off , I saw the trending news on my phone from Elysiumville : Hayden and Joanna were at the church together .
1.11 PM c Chapter 191 The headline read , Newlyweds visit church , suspected of preparing for marriage .
1 curled my lips into a cold smile .
Let them enjoy themselves while they can .
One day , Id return and make them pay .
I put my phone down just as the plane took off , the thick clouds swallowing up the glass windows and blurring Elysiumville Three years later , in Elysiumville , Yasir was having lunch with Lucy in the employee cafeteria of the Parker Group .
Theyd been dating for over two years , and their relationship was stable .
Today , they had planned to eat out , but Lucys boss had urgently asked her to finish a proposal , so she had to make do and eat at the office , with Yasir joining her .
Tina is so annoying .
Every time theres work no one wants to do , she dumps it on me , Lucy grumbled , stabbing her fork into a carrot on her plate , as though the vegetable were Tina .
Anyone dares to bully you ? Ill go tell Mr.
Parker and get her fired .
How about that ? Yasir teased , offering her a piece of chicken from his plate .
No need for that .
Lucy had vented enough and now understood the intricacies of workplace relationships .
She sighed .
You said before that I working here would put my parents at ease , and that people would want to work with the Coffey family because of it .
And , Yvonne also said she hoped Id work for the Parker Group .
Over the course of three years , shed matured a lot and wasnt as bratty as before ..
Yasir , having heard about Yvonne encouraging Lucy to work at the Parker Group , couldnt help but comment , Yvonne really had foresight .
She set everything up for you .
Lucy paused for a moment before pulling a USB drive from her bag .
It was the one Ethan had given her three years ago .
She had tried to crack it countless times , even hiring hackers from the dark web .
Shed paid a hefty sum , and it didnt take long for someone to break the code .
But when they opened it , the USB was empty .
Why did Ethan give me an empty USB ? Lucy muttered , still puzzled .
She had expected to find some clue , but it was all for nothing .
Maybe it was a mistake , Yasir suggested , knowing shed been trying to figure it out for years .
Lucy suddenly lost her appetite .
Yasir noticed her frown and reached over , taking her hand .
Still thinking about Yvonne ? Yeah … Its been three years .
I wonder if shes cold down there at the bottom of the sea , Lucy sniffed , her nose tingling .
Yasir quickly moved beside her , pulling her into a comforting embrace .
Alright , enough of that .
Yvonnes probably in heaven.
by now .
Lucy sniffed and nodded , not saying anything more .
After lunch , Yasir went to the CEOs office .
2/1 Extra Check in 1:11 PM Chapter 191 When he knocked and entered , he was surprised to find Hayden eating a takeout meal at his desk .
Yasirs jaw nearly dropped .
No way … The president of the Parker Group , eating takeout alone in the office ? You should have told me to come keep you company Hayden glanced up at him .
Didnt you just have lunch with Lucy ? Yasir awkwardly cleared his throat .
What do you mean ? Your company is so heartless , making her work overtime every day .
Otherwise , Id still be at lunch with her .
The moment he spoke , Hayden narrowed his eyes , a familiar , ominous energy filling the room .
Yasir quickly changed the subject .
Still keeping a picture of Yvonne ? He casually picked up a photo frame on Haydens desk .
Inside was a picture of Yvonne standing in a sea of flowers .
She wore a wide brimmed straw hat , a white dress , looking like a fairy .
