《Unveiling the True Match》全部章節：第 161 章 - 第 170 章

"Yaslyn, there's no shortage of wealthy men in the capital. Xoan is truly just an ordinary guy. How about I introduce you to someone even better someday?"Mr. York Carden did not want Yaslyn to marry someone he did not respect. In his opinion, only a man with influence in at least two out of the military, political, or business sectors was worthy of marrying a daughter of the Carden family.Disregarding Mr. York Carden's attitude, Yaslyn let out a chuckle. "My relationship with Xoan is none of your business, actually.""You really are just like your mother—both of you are so disobedient!"Mr. York Carden's temper flared as he looked at Yaslyn's rebellious demeanor, causing his blood pressure to spike.For a moment, Yaslyn seemed stunned, but then she could not help but reply, "Perhaps without you, my mother would've lived a happier life.""I'm telling you one last time, stay away from Xoan or face the consequences!"Mr. York Carden trembled with rage, failing to comprehend why t

Forrest stopped in front of Yaslyn and said solemnly, "So, you're Yaslyn. No, wait. Yeilyn, right?" "Right."Brad stood beside them, nodding cluelessly, unable to understand what they were discussing."You actually chased me all the way here? That's absurd!"Yaslyn suddenly burst into laughter. Truly, Forrest was an elusive fanatic of video games."Your skills are genuinely impressive. If you're willing, could you consider joining our club? We'll treat you well," Forrest said, his eyes shining with anticipation.Yaslyn pondered for a moment and concluded that her cousin seemed not only young in appearance but also rather naive in character.However, she shook her head and firmly declined. "I'm sorry, but this isn't a career I'm interested in. I just play for fun.""We have a match with another team in a few days. Would you consider participating?"Forrest was visibly stunned. He had not expected someone capable of defeating the top player to have so little interest in the gam

Xoan gently touched his arm where he had been wounded, offering a casual smile. "I don't know.""Alright. Are we missing any other medicinal ingredients?"Eager to change the subject, Xoan steered the conversation elsewhere.Yaslyn touched her chin in thought. "We still need a coneflower, but those are only sold at auctions. We'll have to wait until tonight."Xoan looked around. "Are you hungry? Let's eat."The underground market resembled a mini-commercial street, offering all sorts of food, drink, and entertainment, albeit at exorbitant prices.Yaslyn glanced at the menu before her. A bowl of fried noodles was priced at fourteen dollars. She could not help but muse, "I could just be robbed outright, but instead, I'm left to agonize over which overpriced item to choose."She balked at spending fourteen dollars on fried noodles, even though she had just casually parted with a hundred and forty thousand dollars for medicinal ingredients.As she prepared to hand over the menu, Ya

It was Yale.Observing the intimate position of the pair before him, Yale easily deduced their relationship.Yaslyn's eyes flickered with urgency as she sought help. "Yale, Xoan has fainted from a fever!""I've got it."Yale quickly understood and helped Yaslyn lift Xoan into the car."Thank you," Yaslyn said, her focus solely on Xoan and not sparing a glance for Yale.Yale could not quite describe how he felt watching Yaslyn thank him for another man's sake, but he did not want to miss any opportunity to be alone with her. "It's okay. Let me take you to the hospital.""There's no need for that."Yaslyn shook her head, obviously not in her best state of mind due to concern for Xoan."You must have other matters to attend to. Please, go ahead."They were, after all, near an underground market—a place Yale would not frequent without reason. Furthermore, she did not wish to delay him or inconvenience him in any way.Realizing he did have other matters to attend to, Yale nodded

Four hours had passed, and Yaslyn still had not received the coneflower. Feeling uneasy, she called only to find out that Sherman had mistakenly delivered it to the Warren family in Jefferson City.She tried calling the Warren family's landline, but nobody answered—only the busy tone greeted her ears.The very next moment, an unfamiliar number called. Though she did not recognize the number, the voice sent a jolt through her heart."Yaslyn, what are you waiting for? The coneflower, is it?" Yerick's voice on the other end was chilling, laced with a triumphant smirk.Hearing Yerick's voice confirmed Yaslyn's worst fears—the coneflower was in his possession. Her heart sank instantly."I heard Xoan is severely injured. You aren't planning on using this coneflower on him, are you?" Yerick gloated, believing he had control over Xoan's fate.Yaslyn's eyes narrowed. "Did you arrange this?""Of course not. However, I just happened to know about it," Yerick said, sounding particularly che
