"I haven't seen you in a while." Elliot rested his arm on Jacqueline's car window and flashed a radiant smile a t Yvonne.
He was a handsome man and he looked even more stunning with that winning smile.
If Yvonne had seen him like this in the past, she would definitely be mesmerized. However, any good impression she had of him was all gone. No matter how seductive his smile was, she basically felt nothing.
"Mr. Taylor, what do you want?" Yvonne asked expressionlessly.
Elliot frowned at her muted reaction. "Can't I just greet you? Don't you think destiny must have brought us together if we met just by coincidence in a traffic jam?"
He winked at her.
Yvonne rolled her eyes. "I wouldn't call it destiny. It's probably more of a curse. If you just wanted to greet m e, you've already done so. Can you leave now, Mr.
Taylor?"
Yvonne had already expressed her intention to end their conversation.
Elliot sighed intentionally, acting like he was disappointed, "You’re so cold. We are acquaintances after all. Ugh! What are you doing?”
Elliot was shocked as he watched his arm move upward very quickly. He swiftly withdrew his arm from her window.
Yvonne pulled her finger away from the car window button and retorted icily, "If you have nothing productive to say, you can keep your mouth shut. Eye!”
"How heartless." Elliot chuckled quietly as he held his temples.
Noticing that the car in front of hers was still not moving, Yvonne sighed inwardly, "Mr. Taylor, can you leave?”
"Don't worry, I will. But before I do so, I would like to have a word with you." Elliot crossed his arms and looked at her half-smiling.
Yvonne frowned, "What do you want to say?"
"Jacqueline's back," Elliot said.
The corner of Yvonne's mouth twitched. "I know.”
"Good. The second thing I want to tell you is that Jacqueline has an older sister. Do you know who she i s?" Elliot hid the glint in his eyes. 1
"Jacqueline has a sister?"
She knew that Dominic Conrad had a child with his first wife.
But wasn't that child gone?
Why would Jacqueline suddenly have a sister? Was that woman Dominic’s illegitimate daughter?
"That's right. Jacqueline has a sister. Shocking, isn’t i t?" Elliot's smile grew wider.
For some reason, that smile made her uncomfortable. She couldn't help feeling that there was some hidden agenda behind his smile.
"Yes, it's shocking news. But why are you telling me this?" Yvonne asked seemingly impassively.
Elliot rubbed his chin. "I thought there was bad blood between you and Jacqueline. Now that Dominic Conrad is in jail, Jacqueline is next-in-line. However, i f we find her older sister, they would have to share inheritance rights. If the sisters fight each other for the inheritance, you could take advantage of the situation."
"Thank you for your information, but I have zero interest." Yvonne rejected his suggestion with an icy expression.
Elliot furrowed his brows, and his expression became serious. "Why? Don't you want to get revenge against Jacqueline? Don't forget, you lost your baby because of her plans."
"How did you know that?" Yvonne narrowed her eyes, " I remember only telling you that Dominic Conrad was wholly responsible. I didn't say Jacqueline had anything to do with this."
Furthermore, she only found out that it was Jacqueline's idea at that charity event two days ago.
Naturally, Elliot noticed Yvonne’s suspicions. Unfazed, he smiled calmly at her, "It isn't hard for me to figure this out. I was busy the other day so I couldn’t attend that charity dinner. I personally visited Mr. and Mrs. Carter with a gift as an apology. The elderly couple told me what happened."
"I see." Yvonne pursed her lips and withdrew her suspicion.
When Elliot saw her expression, he knew he had convinced her. The corner of his lips revealed a hint of victory, albeit fleeting. "So, regarding my suggestion..."
