Lynette did not lower her voice when she said that. Jacqueline, who was not far from them, heard her. Ears piqued, Jacqueline shot a sharp look at the corner. "Who's there? Come out!"
Lynette was slightly taken aback. When she realized what had happened, she was flustered. "Yvonne, what should we do? She heard me."
"It's alright. Since she heard us, we just have to show ourselves." Yvonne patted her shoulder and stepped out from the corner first.
When Jacqueline saw Yvonne, her gaze hardened. "It’s you?"
"Yes, it’s me," Yvonne answered expressionlessly.
"You overheard everything just now?" Jacqueline stood up.
Yvonne sneered, "You were speaking so loudly. Everyone could hear you. Plus, I got to see a good show."
"A good show?" Jacqueline's face darkened. "Yvonne, t o watch a good show, there's a price to pay!"
"We are at a fashion show. Do you intend for me to pay by beating me up?" Yvonne retorted fearlessly.
Seeing the two of them goading each other on, Lynette could even feel her heart quivering a few times."
Yvonne, both of you..."
"Lynette, go back to the hall and wait for me." Yvonne interrupted Lynette and started chasing her away.
This was her battle with Jacqueline and she didn't want to involve Lynette.
Lynette noticed Yvonne's insistence and knew that she had to leave, so she nodded her head and said," Okay. Hurry up."
Then, she looked at Jacqueline uneasily and turned to leave.
Jacqueline wiped her eyes with her thumb and remarked coldly, "You got her to leave. Aren't you afraid that no one will help you later?"
"Just like I said, we are at a fashion show. Do you dare to do anything to me?" Yvonne snapped back with equal coldness.
Hearing Yvonne's verbal retaliation, Jacqueline's expression became contorted. "Yes, I can't do anything to you openly. But don't forget, I know many other ways to get back at you."
"You only have your unscrupulous tactics." Yvonne smiled derisively.
Jacqueline was beyond mad, and her eyes grew wide with anger. "YVONNE FREY!"
"I can hear you, why do you have to holler?" Yvonne rubbed her ears and looked back with contempt.
Jacqueline held her own heaving chest. "You..." "Enough!” Yvonne's expression turned solemn. "I didn't come out here just to squabble with you. Let me ask you a question. What do you Conrads want to do with the Lancaster family? Do you think you can bring down the Lancaster family?"
When Jacqueline heard that, her suffocating frustration disappeared in an instant. It was replaced with a bloated complacency. "That's right. I want to bring down the Lancaster family."
"Do you think it's possible?" Yvonne frowned.
Jacqueline stroked her wig. "I don't think anything is impossible. Aren't things going downhill for the Lancasters now?"
"Hah, in your dreams.” Yvonne looked at her coldly. "D o you think that the Lancaster family can be taken down so easily with Henry Lancaster managing their business so well?”
"That's why my father chose to form an alliance with others." Jacqueline laughed maniacally, "The Conrad family and the Lancaster family used to be on pretty good terms. The reason we became enemies is because of you, Yvonne. If the Lancasters fall, it's solely your fault, Yvonne."
"I finally see the true meaning of the word 'shameless.
