Chapter 79: Yeliz Raven’s True Color Was Detected
"Then I’ll have to trouble you to bring Yvonne back to rest first, Mr. Taylor," said Zachary.
Frank smiled faintly.
"Mr. Leinster, what are you talking about? Not to mention Yvonne haven’t married you yet, even if she marries you in the future, she will be my daughter for the rest of my life. It’s my duty to take care of her. Why bother?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zachary’s face darkened a little.
Yvonne did not say anything as she quietly listened to their conversation.
Although she could not tell what was wrong, for some reason, she felt that her father’s words were a little weird.
"Is Dad angry?"
In the car.
Yvonne and Frank sat in the back seat, and the driver was driving in the front.
Yvonne looked to her side. "Dad, are you angry?"
"Hmm?"
Yvonne pursed her lips. "I feel like you’re angry."
"I’m not angry, but I don’t want you to stay there."
"Why?"
Frank smiled. He held agilawood in his hand without saying anything.
With his experience, how could he not see the twists and turns in Yeliz Raven’s heart?
He was afraid that Zachary didn’t like her, but Yeliz Raven was reluctant to part with him.
Food poisoning was such a strange thing. Yvonne couldn’t see through. But it was impossible that Frank Taylor couldn’t see through it.
It was most likely that Yeliz didn’t want the two families to meet, so she made trouble for them and took the risk to frame up Jack Leinster.
Since the Leinster Family still had so many messes to deal with, Frank Taylor did not want his precious daughter to get involved in this mess.
*
At midnight, Yvonne tossed and turned, unable to sleep.
She texted Zachary. "Is Uncle Leinster all right?"
Soon, she received his reply. "Well, he has woken up."
"That’s good."
Yvonne replied. Immediately after, she thought of something.
"Are you in the hospital now?"
"I have returned to Lord Villa."
"Oh..."
Yvonne heaved a sigh of relief.
<It’s good that he had come back.>
<Otherwise, she would be jealous of him being alone with Yeliz.
Yvonne thought to herself. Then she smiled and looked at the ceiling with her mobile phone in her arms.
Just then, the phone vibrated twice.
"My dad said that it’s his problem that we didn’t have a meal today. Next time, he’ll definitely bring a gift to apologize to Mr. Taylor."
Yvonne pouted. Thinking of her father’s reaction just now, she was a little worried.
"My dad seemed a little unhappy, but he didn’t tell me the reason. Do you know?"
Zachary and Frank had been old rivals in business for many years. In terms of shrewdness, he was not inferior to Frank.
"Maybe. I’ll tell you in person next time."
"Okay."
Yvonne did not ask any more questions and immediately fell asleep.
It was late at night. Frank was sitting in the study and smoking. The light in the study had not gone out until late at night.
*
The next day.
"What? Dad, why did you go back on your word again?"
The next morning, Yvonne received a text message from Zachary, saying that Jack had recovered and was ready to visit her tomorrow.
However, when Yvonne told Frank this news, he suddenly changed his mind. "Dad, didn’t you say that you agreed to let us be together?"
Frank was smoking. He looked a little haggard, as if he had not slept all night.
"I didn’t object to your marriage from the beginning to the end, but the marriage was too hasty!"
"Why?"
Yvonne couldn’t understand.
He had already been there to decide the date, but he said they couldn’t get married overnight?
"Is it because Jack suddenly fell ill and didn’t come?"
"Dad, can I know the reason?"
Frank Taylor said, "You’re still young and don’t understand. I met the madam of the Leinster Family yesterday. I’m afraid things aren’t as simple as we thought."
"Madam? You mean Yeliz Raven?"
Frank replied, "Yes."
"I know that she used to be Zachary’s girlfriend." Speaking of this, Yvonne’s expression dimmed a little. "Moreover, I can also feel that she doesn’t seem to have given up on Zachary, but Zachary’s feelings for me are real. I have already personally seen him reject her several times!"
"Yvonne, you are still too young and naive."
When it came to this aspect, Frank Taylor was not as superficial as Yvonne.
Since Yeliz took the risk of poisoning Jack Leinster in order to prevent them from being together, Frank did not know what kind of things Yeliz would do to Yvonne in the future!
With such a woman at home, it would do no good for the marriage of Zachary and Yvonne!
"I didn’t say that I won’t let you get married, but I’ll have to delay the marriage for a while. At least let the Leinster Family clean up their mess first!"
Frank’s attitude was very firm. This time, it was useless for Yvonne to say anything.
Yvonne could not convince her father, so she could only stay in the room alone and feel depressed.
She didn’t know how to answer when the Leinster Family asked about her father’s attitude.
Her father suddenly went back on his word, and she was too embarrassed to say anything. Just as she was in a mess, Yesmina heard about it and drove her Maserati directly to the Taylor Family.
Yvonne saw her mother coming, she felt helpless.
She walked up to Yesmina and hugged her.
"Mom."
"Good girl, I know everything. Tell me, you really want to marry Zachary, don’t you?"
Yvonne nodded solemnly.
"I know that father is doing this for my own good, and I’m not in a hurry to marry him. I just think that Yeliz Raven is Mr. Leinster’s woman. It’s a done deal. I’ll try my best to keep away from her in the future. It can’t affect the relationship between me and Mr. Leinster because of this!"
Yesmina touched Yvonne’s black hair lovingly. Looking at her pious and enthusiastic look, she couldn’t help but think of the past when she was also such a girl who was crazy for love.
At that time, Frank Taylor’s business was not stable. The Sherman Family did not want her to marry such Frank.
But she insisted on her own way and eventually got married.
At that time, she was just like the current Yvonne, full of passion and love.
It was just that... in the end...
"Mom, you support me, don’t you?"
Yvonne asked worriedly as she looked at Yesmina’s complicated expression.
"I..."
Yesmina lowered her head and sighed.
"In fact, I still hope that you can choose a more relaxed marriage, but my thoughts are different from your father’s."
"Since you’ve determined to be with Zachary, this is your own life. Your life should be decided by yourself. No one else can dominate your life, even if it’s your parents."
Yvonne really did not expect Yesmina would support her like this. After hearing these words, she was moved to tears.
"Mom, I love you."
This was the first time Yesmina had heard Yvonne express her feelings so directly in recent years. It was also the first time that someone had said these three words to her after she had divorced Frank for so many years.
She was stunned for a moment, and then she smiled very gently and patted Yvonne on the shoulder.
"Well, I’ll go up and talk to your father. Don’t cry, okay?"
...
In the study.
Frank was prepared that Yesmina would come to talk to him.
However, he didn’t care at all. Once he made up his mind, no one could change it with a few words.
Even she, Yesmina Sherman, couldn’t do it!
In the study, Frank Taylor heard a knock on the door and said impatiently, "Come in."
As Yesmina entered the room, she saw his sad face and she sneered.
"When you lost a hundred million dollars a night, you were not so worried at that time. Why are you so nervous when it comes to your daughter’s marriage?"
Frank rolled his eyes.
"Say what you want to say."
Yesmina was not happy to be scolded like this.
She patted the sofa, sat down, and got straight to the point.
"I support the marriage of Yvonne and Zachary."
Frank glared at her. "Yesmina Sherman, Yvonne is your biological daughter!"
"It’s precisely because she’s my biological daughter that I want her to marry someone who truly loves her! Is there anything wrong with that?"
Frank said, "Although Zachary treated her well, Yeliz Raven is definitely not easy to deal with. It will be very troublesome for Yvonne to marry Zachary."
What’s more, she was now the nominal wife of Jack Leinster.
He didn’t want his beloved daughter to be suppressed every day!
Knowing what he was worried about, Yesmina said slowly, "But do you think that as long as you stop her, Yvonne will let go of Zachary?"
"In this world, how can an excellent man like Zachary have no pursuers?"
"Among all the pursuers, it’s normal to have such a few schemes. I believe Yvonne have the ability to deal with them."
Yesmina held her arms and leaned back on the sofa. "Besides, they are free to get married now. It doesn’t matter what parents say. Since it is her life, we should let her be responsible for it. In this way, even if the ending is not good, there is nothing to regret..."
At the end of her words, Yesmina’s voice gradually lowered.
She felt as if she had said something wrong. Sure enough, when Frank heard her words, he raised his head subconsciously and looked at her meaningfully.
Their eyes met in the air, and they quickly avoided each other.
"I..."
Yesmina wanted to say something but stopped on second thought. The first thing she thought of was the scene when she married Frank Taylor.
At that time, Frank Taylor suffered a loss in his business. As the daughter of the Sherman Family, Yesmina married Frank regardless of her parents’ opposition.
At that time, Yesmina was also extremely beautiful. Her character was almost exactly the same as Yvonne’s. She was making a scene.
Obviously, Frank also remembered the past and said faintly, "Then... do you regret it now?"
Yesmina curled her lips. "Aren’t we talking about Yvonne now? Why should I be involved?"
Frank’s eyes dimmed again.
It seemed that she still regretted it...
Back then, she had married him without hesitation, not hesitating to resist her parents.
However, he still did not give her a beautiful and complete future. Every time Frank thought of this, he felt very guilty. But at this moment, Yesmina changed the subject. "But..."
"Even if it’s not you, given my character, I might end up getting a divorce with someone else. Think about it, it’s better to follow you rather than follow someone else. At least I have Yvonne now."
Frank listened to her and silently looked up at her.
Yesmina lowered her head. Her powerful aura was restrained, and she became a little shy.
"Moreover, when we were together... you were also a good man!"
Frank’s eyes instantly lit up.
Good... man?
How could she say that he was a good man?
He thought that since he had married other woman, she had only hated him!
"You... really think so?"
"Oh, what’s there to lie about? Let’s not talk about this..."
Yesmina didn’t understand why the topic turned to her without anyone noticing.
She tried her best to bring up the topic of Yvonne and Zachary’s marriage, but Frank’s reaction was no longer as obvious as before.
*
A few days after Yesmina left, Frank agreed.
This time, Jack personally came to the Taylor Family. He brought along three carriages of gifts, all types of tonics for Frank, as well as gifts for Yvonne, for example, all types of priceless jewelry, watches, and other things. Even the Taylor Family’s servants received many things, which could show his sincerity.
Frank had been the Leinster Group’s enemy for many years. This was the first time that the Leinster Group could lower himself in front of Frank.
Even a big shot like Jack Leinster came to give him a gift in person!
On that day, Frank Taylor was very happy and directly agreed to discuss the date of the banquet in the future.
The development of the matter was so fast that it made Yvonne feel that it was unreal. Just like that, she really was becoming Zachary’s wife.
*
In the private hospital of Hiltonan.
After leaving the Taylor Family, Jack went to the hospital for a check-up according to his schedule.
On that day, he had an acute stomach disease. Although it was no big deal, his identity was too noble. After such a thing happened, he would definitely come to check-up.
In the hospital, Yeliz Raven had been waiting for him in the corridor for a long time.
When Jack Leinster saw her figure, his face immediately turned cold.
He just greeted her indifferently, and then he went to physical reexamination.
Half an hour later.
"Mr. Leinster, there are still some problems with your recent reports. Please wait in the room first. We’ll have a better and more detailed examination of you later."
When Jack heard the result, his sharp eyes immediately turned to Yeliz beside him.
Yeliz was so frightened that she avoided his eyes and said to the doctor, "Please check carefully again and see what’s wrong."
"Don’t worry, Mrs. Leinster. We’ve been working in the medical team of Mr. Leinster for many years. We would of course do our duty."
Yeliz nodded, but her heart was a little flustered.
In the ward.
When all the doctors had gone out, Jack sat on the hospital bed and looked at Yeliz with dignity.
"Yeliz Raven."
"Mr. Leinster."
Yeliz wanted to make an excuse to go out.
However, before she could get out of the room, Jack was already speaking.
"Come here."
"Okay."
Yeliz braced herself and walked over to him.
"What kind of medicine have I been taking recently?"
Yeliz was the one who made medicine for him every day. Of course, no one knew better than her.
Immediately, she gave him more than a dozen Chinese herbal names. After listening to her words, Jack Leinster nodded.
"According to Dr. Smith’s prescription, I should have been cured by now. But there are still many problems after the test."
"Maybe the test is wrong. Don’t worry too much. Let’s wait and see after the precise test results come out."
"Where are Zachary and the others?"
Yeliz pursed her lips. "They are almost here."
"Okay."
Jack was not in good health recently, so he came to re-check today. Zachary pushed an important meeting and came over.
Even Simon Leinster, who had been on vacation abroad recently, came back.
The two met on the stairs.
"Zachary."
At the end of the corridor, Simon Leinster was dressed in an exaggerated fashionable luxury.
He wore sunglasses and a silver cross necklace.
He turned his Buggati Veyron key in his hand. At a glance, he looked like a rich second generation, just like the popular stars on TV.
