After the three of them finished eating, James asked Yvette, “Do you need a ride home? Where are you staying now?”


    Yvette looked up and politely replied. “No need, Grandpa. Someone ising to pick me up”


    Leaning on his cane, James quickly asked, “Your boyfriend?”


    Yvene nodded slightly. “Yeah.”


    James‘ heart ached instantly. He had just be acquainted with Yvette, and she already had a boyfriend. Who could hein to? Today, he wanted to see who was dating Yvette and see if he could drive that guy away. James thought, What’s so great about getting married anyway? It’s not good at all. Constantly revolving around cooking, cleaning, and other chores. Someone as talented as Yvette should be shining in the field of physics. In conclusion, no one is truly worthy of her


    James stood smiling by the roadside, not saying a word about leaving and instead keeping Yvettepany.


    Yvette tilted her head slightly, her stunning profile looking even more beautiful under the streemp. “If you’re tired, go ahead,” she said.


    James guessed he wouldn’t sleep well unless he saw Yvette’s boyfriend tonight. He quickly shook his head. Obviously exhausted, with his eyelids drooping, he still kept waiting there. He stubbornly told Yvette, “I’m not tired. But you know, Yvelle, it


    pretty dangerous for a girl like you to be out here alone at night. And your boyfriend seems pretty unreliable, if 1 may say so. He’s already ten minuteste, showing he has no sense of time!”


    James hadn’t even seen Yvette’s boyfriend yet, but James began to speak ill of him.


    Right after that, across the street, a ck SUV stopped. The driver side door opened, and Emmett stepped out in a ck suit.


    Emmett was handsome enough to stand out even in a crowd. But people tended to judge byparison. Always being with Jeremiah, no matter how handsome Emmett was, he was just a backdrop.This material belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    But now, he came alone, so he immediately caught the attention of people on the street, especially when they noticed the license te, their gazes turned even more intrigued. They wondered which wealthy family he was from.


    James noticed Emmett too. On closer inspection, Emmett was a familiar face. He was the personal assistant to Jeremiah, well known for being cold and reserved.


    James had met Emmett a few times at some parties, even Jase couldn’t stop praising Emmett.


    Jase had a keen eye for talent, and for him to praise someone so highly meant Emmett was truly outstanding


    James wondered what had brought Emmett here. While James was contemting, Emmett noticed Yvette standing casually by the roadside with one hand in her pocket.


    Emmett’s eyes lit up. He thought, I finally got there, though ten minuteste. Is Yvette upset? Emmett was feeling uneasy, afraid if Yvette got angry, something terrifying would happen.


    Emmett took another look at the person next to Yvette, and when he realized who it was, he was taken aback, thinking, Yvette came to meet James. This is really astonishing. How long has it been since James showed up? Yet he knows Yvette. What other surprises does she have for us? It’s nothing. With Yvette, anything can happen. Maybe I should ask her if she knows i


    the president of Mysonna? If she does know him, that’ll be incredible: Emmett tried hard to stay calm.


    Emmett walked nervously toward Yvette and the others,ining inwardly. ‘Mr. Chavez went off to save people, leaving me here to take the fall. Is that fair?


    James saw Emmetting over, nced at Yvette, who had a nk expression, and suddenly thought, “Could it be that Emmett is Yvette’s boyfriend? Although he is quite presentable, he seems not good enough for Yvette. What a shame!


    James forgot thepliments he had given Emmett earlier. Now James‘ mind was filled withints.


    Emmett was speechless. He walked over, slightly bowed, and politely greeted James. “Hello, Mr. Owens.”


    James nodded. At the moment, he couldn’t put on a friendly face for the man who took Emmett away from him.


    Emmett didn’t even know what he had done wrong. James‘ eyes were full of hostility toward him.


    Emmett awkwardly said to Yvette, ‘Sorry, I’mte.”


    Yvette slightly lowered her brows, one hand in her pocket, her beautiful eyes cold and deep. “Where is he?”


    Emmett immediately exined. “Mr. Chavez and I encountered a bus ident on our way. The driver had a sudden heart attack, causing the bus to lose control and resulting in a multi–car collision. Over a hundred people were injured. Mr. Chavez is handling things at the site. He asked me to take you back to Sknd first. He’ll return once everything is taken care of


    When James heard this, he quickly asked, “Is it serious? What about the casualties?”


    Emmett replied. “Don’t worry, Mr. Owens. It didn’t seem too severe. Mr. Chavez has already called in military doctors, so it should be under control.


    Yvette showed no expression, turning to James and saying, “Grandpa, you can go back first.”


    Hearing the word “Grandpa“, Emmett was startled, his face nk with shock. He thought, ‘How did Yvette get a new grandpa in just a few hours? This is a big shot. An old marshal and a national treasure? Thisbination is enough to make anyone feel envious.”


    Hearing this, James nodded and said, “Come over when you have time.” Then he got in the car with Michael and left.


    Standing where she was, Yvette took out her phone from her pocket and dialed a number, getting straight to the point. “Hello, do you need my help?”


    Yvette’s help was something many people could only wish for,


    There was a pause on the other end of the line. “No need. The doctors just arrived. The initial checkup shows no big issues. You and Emmett head back to Sknd. I’ll return once I finish up here.”


    Hearing Jeremiah say that, Yvette understood it wasn’t anything serious.


    There was a lot of noise from the other end. Yvette simply said “okay” and hung up..


    Emmett, who was standing nearby, twitched his lips. He thought, What an unromantic woman! I thought Yvette called just to show concern far. Mr. Chavez. And all she asked was whether he needed any help. The love life of bigwigs is so unusual.


    James only realized what was happening after getting in the car. He seriously watched Michael counting his fingers. “Michael, did that man just now mention Mr. Chavez?”


    Michael stopped counting his fingers, looked at his grandfather in confusion, and then suddenly pped. “Mr. Chavez, Mr. Chavez, Mr. Chavez!”


    James took a deep breath. Emmett’s words were perfectly clear to him. James thought, ‘So it wasn’t Emmett who took Yvette away, but Jeremiah, the notorious demon from the Chavez family. He’s wless


    Even though James was unwilling, he had to admit Jeremiah was truly outstanding. In Betrico, Jeremiah was definitely the leading figure of this generation. Nobody would dare im to be more excellent than him. Back then, he graduated as the top student from Betrico University. Both James‘ physicsb and Rashad’s biochemistryb tried to recruit him. Unfortunately, Jeremiah only ever wanted to join the military and never gave either of them a chance. Because of this, Rashad was furious.


    James thought. That perty, unscrupulous old guy. Humph. Why hasn’t this anger driven him to his grave? Jase is so lucky to have such an exceptional grandson Yvette is really impressive Jeremiah is famously distant when ites to women. All these years in Betrico, there’s never been even romantic gossip about him. But I have some idea about Jase’s ns. It seems that old guy favors Samantha. But if he wants to separate Yvette from Jeremiah. I’ll go all out to make him regret it
