No matter what, Yvonne had to admit there was some truth in what he said.
And none of it was completely unreasonable.
The thought left her oddly reflective.
Maybe she really did need to pay more attention to how the world worked beyond her own assumptions.
Relying only on guesswork in her own little bubble made everything feel skewed.
If she stayed shut away like that, it was no wonder others found her hard to read.
…
The next day, when Yvonne met Joseph, her whole mindset felt different.
The moment she saw him, she cut straight to the point.
“I’m returning to our country soon.”
He froze in surprise.
“Why are you leaving so early?”
Joseph couldn’t help adding, “If you go back now, have you thought about what happens to everything we planned?”
His meaning was clear—without her influence here, he couldn’t establish the foothold he wanted overseas.
Yvonne understood perfectly, and she had no intention of hiding anything.
“That’s exactly why I came today to talk to you about this.”
His eyes brightened, surprised she had even considered him.
“Yvonne, then what are you planning to do?”
She didn’t hold anything back.
“Since I’ll be leaving for a while, I’m handing all my influence here over to you.”
