Chuck and Yvette walked over soon enough.
Curious, a few of Willa's friends asked for Yvette's name and so naturally, Chuck introduced them. Yvette was nothing but composed now ever since she had become an assassin.
She smiled at each and every one of them and nodded at Willa to show her gratitude. Although Willa knew of her status as a killer, she had agreed to conceal the truth from Chuck for her.
She was grateful for this. Willa smiled back in acknowledgement as well.
She really did like Yvette.
If it weren't for Yvette's and Karen's conflict, she would be happy to personally teach Yvette all kinds of martial art skills and assassination methods. After all, she was the love of Chuck's life.
It was a worthwhile reason.
They might even become close friends. However, Willa knew she couldn't do so. If she did, Yvette would eventually use those skills to kill Karen in the end.
She did not want that to happen.
Unless if Yvette and Karen call a truce, but would it happen?
"The banquet has begun. Let's go get dinner, I'm starving!" someone mentioned.
Soon, everyone found a place to settle down.
It was uncommon for Chuck and Yvette to have dinner together due to their differing schedules. The way they complimented each other by sitting close was envy-inducing.
Some of Willa's friends were gushing about how adorable the couple looked.
Willa, on the other hand, ate in silence. When Chuck looked at her, she would raise her head and respond with a gentle smile. Other than that, her head remained lowered. She didn't have that much of an appetite but she had to make do.
If she didn't eat, Chuck would worry.
Willa buried all her emotions deep in her heart. Her friends and Yvette did not sense that anything was out of the ordinary...
After dinner, Willa went to bid farewell to the bride and groom with a few of her friends before leaving the scene.
Meanwhile, Chuck went to the bathroom while Yvette waited for him outside.
"Hey, Gorgeous, was that your husband?" a charming voice asked.
Yvette frowned. Turning around, she watched as Young Master Evans approached her.
What's he trying to do?
"Yes," Yvette answered coldly.
Due to the massive crowd and that he was mingling at another side, Kaiden hadn't seen Chuck, Yvette, and Willa together before this.
"You're a liar," Kaiden teased with a smile, not believing her.
When he had walked over just now, he couldn't take his eyes off her figure. She looked absolutely delectable.
How could the man who had just entered the bathroom be the husband of this beautiful woman? They don't seem to be intimate at all. They must just be mere acquaintances.
She must be pretending so she would catch his attention... Well played.
"Excuse me? Did you just call me a liar?!" Yvette scowled.
Chuck truly was her husband. She didn't lie about that!
Kaiden merely smiled at her and continued, "No matter. Still, can I get to know you?"
"I'm not interested. While I am grateful for your help just now, I'm more than willing to pay you in compensation. How much do you want?" Yvette asked. She was in control of the Allen family's fortune now, so money wasn't an issue.
She didn't want to have anything to do with other men other than Chuck.
"Money? You think I'm short of money?" Kaiden teased.
He was from one of the Four Greatest Households.
Why would he ask for money from others?
He found this woman to be interesting. Did this mean she wasn't here to catch his attention nor for his money?
"How refreshing!"
Kaiden thought in his heart in glee.
"You might not be but this is the only way I can think of to thank you," Yvette replied.
"You don't need to thank me. You can treat me to a meal, I'm not picky," he answered.
"No, I won't. Just tell me your bank account details. I'll have the money transferred to you as my gratitude," she said firmly.
