Chapter 285

Yvette was quite sure that a certain man had slept beside her all night. She looked down at her pajamas. They were new, and it was the first time she had worn them. She thought, 'Who changed them?' It was obvious, no questions needed. Yvette got up, put on her slippers, and got out of bed. She opened the door and walked to the stairs, where she ran into Jeremiah, who was on the phone going up. Jeremiah paused when he saw her. Then he said to the person on the other end, "Got it, I'll handle it." He hung up the phone afterward. Jeremiah looked at Yvette gently and said. "Awake? Hungry? I made you some breakfast, your favorite little pierogies, this time with shrimp filling." This was a new filling Jeremiah had recently learned. He thought that Yvette would get tired of eating the same thing all the time, so it was necessary to try different flavors. Yvette lifted her eyelids. Her eyes still held a touch of sleepy laziness. She said slowly, "Did you eat?"

Jeremiah had bloodshot eyes, as he barely slept last night. Jeremiah replied, "Not yet, I'm waiting for you."

At the dining table. Yvette took a bite of the small pierogies, still warm and perfectly seasoned. Jeremiah's cooking skills were improving greatly.

Yvette

was Jeremian.

wiped her mouth, looked up, and her gaze landed on Jeremiah. His deep, dark eyes were slightly narrowed. She cleared her throat, "I drank yesterday, did I hurt you?" Based on past experiences, whenever she got drunk, someone ended up being the victim, and it She looked around. She thought, 'He didn't have any injuries? Could it be my stamina have dropped recently? Didn't manage to hurt him? But that seemed unlikely! Jeremiah put down his chopsticks, seeing her act like she forgot everything. There was a hint of amusement in his eyes. He thought, 'Yvette's memory loss from drinking is impressively complete. She almost beat someone to death last night and now is totally oblivious?' Jeremiah didn't a t answer right away. He pulled out the newspaper from the table and handed it to Yvette. Yvette took it without hesitation. She took a glance and thought, A tabloid?'

There was a large headline: [Famous Model Was Brutally Attacked, Suffers Multiple Injuries, And Announced Retirement From Modeling Today.], [Is Keira Quitting Modeling Due To An Accident, Or Was It Orchestrated By Someone With III- Intentions?], [Who Attacked Keira? She Remains Silent.] Yvette looked closely at the face in the photo. Her fingers tapped gently on the table, and she was silent for half a minute. Then she lifted her eyes to Jeremiah and asked with confusion, "This woman looks familiar. Why are you showing me this?" Jeremiah looked into her eyes, genuine and sincere, his voice soft and amused, "Last night, at Sky Nimbus, you beat up this woman." Yvette lowered her eyes to the picture of the woman in the newspaper, looking a bit puzzled. She couldn't recall how it happened. She thought, 'Did I harm someone innocent? This might be difficult to handle. Usually, when she drank too much, she'd spar with skilled fighters, and most of the time, it was the Eagle King. This was the first time she hit an ordinary

person.

Yvette frowned and thought, 'In situations like this, should I offer compensation? How much should I pay? Would 100 million dollars be enough?'

Jeremiah noticed her conflicted expression and had a pretty good idea why. He thought, 'How could Yvette be so adorable? She probably didn't even remember why she hit the model.'

Jeremiah cleared his throat, his gaze serious and focused. "Don't worry, she was set on ending it all, but after having a good talk with you, she realized she wanted to live and make the most of her life. You're literally her lifesaver."

Yvette, still doubtful, asked-again, "Really?"

Jeremiah looked at her sincerely and replied, "Really, you saved her life."

Only then did Yvette believe him. She never thought that a night of drinking could end with saving a life. She should tell the Eagle King about this. So he wouldn't always think she was just hitting people randomly when drunk-this time she did something good. Seeing that she believed him, Jeremiah picked up his spoon and continued sipping his soup. He thought, 'Is this what it's like to soothe a child?' Today he finally got the hang of it.

Jeremiah finished his meal and set off again for the military base. There were only five days left until the Ybaullan delegation visited Clusia. Recently, he's been coordinating with Betrico University to decide on someone to compete against Kaiden Harper and Robin Jenkins. The candidate selection was still hotly debated and Jeremiah would have the final say. This was no small matter. The match's outcome would impact Clusia's honor and reputation, so extreme caution was necessary.

With Jeremiah gone, Yvette was alone at Skyland. She curled up on the sofa, cross-legged. FastPulse Technologies' beta game had reached its final phase, and what she held was the last version. Whether they could launch by the end of the year depended on how quickly Yvette could finish the game.

She was halfway through the game when a call came through from Howard. It was the first time the two had contacted each other since the Smith family in Seacrity dealt with the Chambers family. Howard knew this person's temperament-unless there's something important, Yvette rarely initiates contact. Yvette paused her game, lightly tapped her finger, and answered the call. The voice on the line was as cold as ever. "Howard."

Howard skipped the pleasantries, and got straight to the point. "Ms. Zeller, you asked me to reach out to the head of the biochemistry lab, Director Rashad, about investing in his suspended project. There's been some progress. Could we meet?" Yvette glanced at I at the wall clock. It was exactly 11:30. She paused for two seconds. "Okay, Howard, 1 PM this afternoon at 401, Building 3, Skyland."

The place was not too far, but not too close to Jeremiah's villa. It was the set James had given Yvette. Howard was momentarily surprised at the mention of Skyland. "Ms. Zeller, are you in Betrico now? Are you staying at Zeller?" Yvette had her eyes half-closed. "Yeah, I came a few days ago and will leave once everything's settled.",

Howard was delighted. He He thought,

Finally, Ms. Zeller is just at my doorstep. This time, no matter what, even if I had to cry my heart out in front of Ms. Zeller, I had to get her to visit the company to see how InnoCrest Technologies is progressing, and maybe even ask for some advice. The InnoCrest Technologies had been established for many years now. He had put a lot of effort into inviting Yvette to Betrico repeatedly. He also wanted to reveal her identity to the public. But it just never seemed to work out. The reason was simple, she just wanted to avoi to avoid the has the hassle. A reason that left Howard confused and amused for years. In the whole world, perhaps only Yvette didn't care for money or power. She simply wanted a quiet and peaceful life. This mentality was something he truly admired without complaint. Howard quickly replied, "No problem, Ms. Zeller. I'll be at Skyland. See you there!" Yvette hung up and went back to her game. She furrowed her brows slightly and still thought it was a bit too easy.

Meanwhile, at InnoCrest Technologies, Howard pressed a button on his phone to call his secretary, Liam, to reschedule all his afternoon appointments. Seeing Yvette was more important than anything else. Even if the world ended now, he needed to stay by the Yvette's side. Not for anything else, just for that sense of safety.

Liam noticed Howard was excited. He was a little puzzled and thought, 'How did it become just like when they worked with the Chambers family in Seacrity again?' He suddenly remembered that the boss had just made a phone call from the office. He thought, 'Really? Can it be that he's going to meet Ms. Chambers from the Chambers family again? No wonder I am suspicious. Last time before Liam met Ms. Želler, he was just like this. Chapter 285

Liam cautiously asked, "Mr Yates, are you going to see Ms. Zeller?"

Liam's heart was pounding. Last time Howard met with Yvette, he gave away 45 billi

dollars. It was as if he didn't even think about it. The contract with the Chambers family was basically InnoCrest Technologies giving them 45 billion dollars as a gift. He even gave away the game development and core departments. To Liam, it seemed like Howard had gone crazy. After Howard returned to Betrico, he seemed normal again. Liam thought, 'It's not even two months, and he wants to meet this person again? With years of experience as a secretary, I have a strong hunch that there are even more things to send this time.'
