LOGINYvonne finally gave up. She realized there was no way to reason with Edwin.No matter what she said, he clung to his own convictions, completely immersed in his own world and deaf to anything else.Once she understood that, she felt close to breaking down.She truly had things to deal with. Her background was nothing like Edwin’s—raised in privilege, born into generational wealth, and, on top of that, the undisputed favorite in his family.Any one of those advantages would have been enough, yet Edwin carried several at once.Most importantly, he was the youngest son of Philip.All of this, including Edwin’s family background, was far beyond what Yvonne could afford to provoke.Precisely because she understood this so clearly, she felt afraid.She was afraid of getting involved with Edwin, afraid he might suddenly lose control and force his will on her.Those were things she could not prevent.Edwin remained silent as he pulled Yvonne to the car.Instead of getting into the driver’s sea
Yvonne spoke without any restraint, not sparing Edwin’s pride in the slightest.In her view, Edwin had already gone too far. Why should she bother protecting his dignity? That would only be a waste of her time.Besides, his own words had been far from pleasant to begin with.Yvonne’s personality was like a spring.The harder someone pressed, the harder she pushed back. When they softened, she softened too.She could not tolerate being talked down to.Edwin had never been treated this way before. It felt as though his pride was being ground into the dirt.He grabbed Yvonne and strode out of the building.The front desk did not dare say a single word.Earlier, he had even thought about stirring things up a little, hoping Edwin would take Yvonne away.But now he finally understood that this was far beyond what an ordinary front desk clerk like him could get involved in.These two were clearly on a completely different level.Getting caught in the middle would bring him no benefit at all.
After all, there were only a handful of prominent families with the surname Carter in Ravenshore.More importantly, everyone recognized Edwin immediately after Yvonne mentioned his surname.There was no denying it. Yvonne did it on purpose.It was precisely because of what Edwin had just said, those very words that still echoed in her mind.No matter how badly her life turned out, it had nothing to do with him.Sure enough, after Yvonne said that line, many people turned to look her way. Some even took out their phones and started searching.Seeing the looks of shock around him, Edwin immediately knew that the matter had been exposed.At the same time, the front desk felt a wave of disbelief. He never expected Yvonne to have such a powerful background, let alone be directly connected to the youngest son of the Carter family.He always knew Yvonne’s family was not short of money, but he had never imagined she was this influential and well-connected.He had never thought she could be tie
What was wrong with Yvonne, anyway?A man that handsome came to pick her up—wasn’t that a good thing? Why insist on wasting time here?Besides, Yvonne had been coming by every day these past few days. Wasn’t she just wasting their work hours?Put another way, she was adding a lot of extra burden to their jobs.As long as she stayed here, he had to stay on edge every single time, never knowing what Yvonne might do next.Most importantly, the director had already made it clear that Yvonne was not to be let inside, yet she still showed up every time.If the director found out, wouldn’t he blame him for mishandling things?Every time he thought about this, the front desk felt terrified.After everything that had happened recently, he found Yvonne increasingly unpleasant to look at.He kept feeling that it was all because of Yvonne that he had to live in constant anxiety every day.Originally, his only responsibility was to handle the front desk.But now, not only did he have to watch the f
Earlier, Yvonne had held expectations toward Edwin. In her eyes, he was the one who saved her.At times, she even wondered whether, if she could not be with the person she loved, being with someone who loved her might also count as a kind of happiness in life.She had genuinely considered whether she should be with Edwin. But after hearing what he said just now, all those thoughts vanished in an instant.She understood that she and Edwin were never on the same path. Just his words today made that clear.Their values did not align at all.In his eyes, she was probably the one being unreasonable here.The mere thought of that felt ridiculous to her.She was only doing what she believed was right. Since when did her persistence turn into something others saw as making trouble?Seeing Edwin’s attitude so clearly now, Yvonne finally understood just how laughable she looked in his eyes.She had not cared much before, but now she fully grasped what he meant.In the end, an imbalance rose shar
The two of them started arguing right in the lobby downstairs of the office building.People passed by in a steady stream, and when they saw the scene, they all cast curious glances at the pair.Even the front desk, who had been helpless at first, shifted into full spectator mode.When Yvonne arrived earlier, he had felt a little impatient, never expecting another man to show up out of nowhere.The heiress of the Song family was not entirely useless after all.At the very least, she added a bit of amusement to his dull and monotonous workdays, and every time he thought about it now, it felt ridiculous. Some people even rushed over just to watch the spectacle.Those pampered socialites usually looked down their noses at ordinary office workers, never sparing them a glance. Running into something like this today was something even the front desk had never expected.And as the youngest son of Philip, Edwin had never suffered such humiliation, especially after noticing the subtle looks b
