Yvonne immediately became smug after hearing what Marcus said. "Hmph! You still had no clue, right? Not only did I come to your office to be all lovey-dovey with you, but I even went out during office hours. Hmph!"
Marcus immediately smiled. He was great in all aspects. He had always been very strict in the company as well. However, his only flaw was that he doted on his wife too much. Yvonne was so spoiled by him that even though she was already a 30-year-old woman, she was still like a child.
Everyone in the company knew that Marcus doted on his wife very much and nobody minded as well. In any case, Marcus also never asked the company to arrange for his wife to be in charge of anything important. She was still in the administration department. She did not even get a promotion. It was fortunate that Yvonne had never been ambitious and had never valued her career too highly. It was enough for her as long as she had a job every day. Also, Yvonne had never acted arrogantly in the company just because her husband was a shareholder. Her job just got slightly easier and that was all. Her job was easy, but she had never been careless about it. She had always completed her work very seriously.
Therefore, after the wife of the shareholder had completed her work, of course, she was free to do whatever she wanted. That was something everyone in the company had acknowledged in secret. Also, nobody had an issue with it. Yvonne would then go to Sabrina and Ruth from time to time to chat with them. She would even help them handle some miscellaneous tasks. From time to time, she would also run to her husband's office to be lovey-dovey with him. These were already usual occurrences. Therefore, she did not mind when Marcus mentioned that to her.
However, that day, she said very seriously to Marcus, "Dear, your family truly has plenty of relatives!
"What's the matter?" Marcus put down the documents he had in his hand and looked at Yvonne very seriously.
Yvonne pouted her lips. "Also, all of your relatives are unreasonable! But, dear, have you noticed? To be more specific, your family actually only truly has three relatives! One is the daughter of your mother's sister, your cousin, Ruth! There is also the daughter of your father's sister, your cousin, Sabrina! Then, there is your aunt, Aunt Gloria! Those remaining are all crappy relatives! They are all very distant relatives! I have never seen Ruth creating trouble in the name of the Shaw family. Ruth hardly went to the Shaw Residence, much less did anything in the name of the Shaw family. It was even more so for Sabrina. Before Old Master Shaw died, she had not even gone to the Shaw Residence once. There's Aunt Gloria as well. She had been miserable and lonely all her life. Not a single bit of the Shaw family's glory had ever shone on her. Those scumbags, on the other hand! They truly disgust me to death!"
Hearing Yvonne saying that, Marcus immediately frowned. He got up and came to Yvonne's side. He wrapped his arm around her and sat on the couch together with her. "Baby, tell me what happened? Who has provoked you? You're a very straightforward person. If you have encountered anything out there, you have to tell me and let me handle it for you. Do you understand?"
Yvonne felt that that was extremely sweet of him. She leaned her head against Marcus ' shoulder. "Didn't I go to Sebastian's company to send the ravioli to him just now?"
"Mm-hmm. I was the one who had agreed to that." Marcus nodded.
"I met a woman outside of Sebastian's office and she was seductively harassing him. I asked her who she was, and guess what happened? She raised her hand and slapped me!" Once Yvonne thought of the slap she got earlier on, she felt that she suffered such an injustice that she wanted to cry.
It was only then that Marcus saw that there was a palm print on Yvonne's face. He immediately became infuriated. "Who slapped you? Where is that woman? Where is she? Have you called the police? Why didn't you tell me, your husband, as soon as possible? Silly girl!" He felt so heartbroken that immediately embraced Yvonne in his arms.
Yvonne was so angry as she said, "Who else could it be? Your family's relative, Eva Yerbury!"
Marcus immediately let go of Yvonne and asked with great surprise, "Who did say it was? Eva Yerbury? She has...returned from abroad?"
"That's right. She even claimed that she is a member of the Shaw family," Yvonne said angrily.
Marcus smiled helplessly. "Isn't that right? Three generations of the Yerbury family had worked for the Shaw family. Eva's grandfather is the Shaw family's housekeeper. Eva’s parents had always been working for the Shaw family as well. When it came to Eva's generation, my grandpa directly sent her aboard to receive the best education. All of this was because Eva's grandfather had once saved my grandmother's life."
Yvonne was immediately stunned. "What did you say? "
