The World Is Her Oyster Chapter 12
Marcus' hair hung limply around his face, drenched by the rain. He was the only one between the three of them who looked utterly disheveled.Yvonne did not want to waste any more words on him.Xavier spoke instead, scrutinizing the man who had once hurt Yvonne. "Who's asking?"Yeah, who was he to Yvonne now?He had signed the agreement. Yvonne wasn't his fiancée anymore.Yvonne turned to walk away. Unwilling to give up this opportunity, Marcus stepped forward and clutched at the corner of her coat. "Yvie, your hearing is restored, isn't it? I thought we agreed that the surgery was too risky and that we weren't going forward with it. Did you do it for me?"Yvonne turned and laughed at him, though the mirth didn't reach her eyes. "Yes, I did," she said, her voice carrying a hint of mockery. "But don't let it get to your head. I won't thank you for it. I made the decision myself, and while I was risking my life on the surgery bed, you were rekindling your romance with your first l

That evening, John insisted Yvonne attend the celebration banquet.Seeing her design come to fruition filled Yvonne with a strong sense of accomplishment, so she agreed to John's request.She put on a long, black dress that accentuated her curves. Her years abroad had changed her style—once conservative, she was now more open to bolder and confident styles. She knew she had natural advantages and knew how to wield them for her benefit.Xavier wrapped his arms around her slender waist from behind. "Oh no, now I want to hide you away and keep you all to myself."Exasperated, Yvonne joked fondly, "Then what should I do? Should I just stay home?"Xavier knew how much the project meant to her and that the celebration banquet was important. "No, that won't do. You should definitely go."With that, he even picked out a pearl necklace for her.The banquet was held at one of the hotels owned by the Cunningham Group. As night fell, the atmosphere in the hall was lively, rife with pleasant

Yvonne raised her glass and downed its entire contents.Amid the gasps of amazement and admiration, she stepped onto the stage to deliver her speech.Rachel was dumbfounded, muttering to herself, "How could this be? She designed the hot spring resort?"Yvonne began her speech. "I would like to thank my mentor, John Keynes, for trusting me and encouraging me. He gave me the opportunity to lead the design of the hot spring resort. I would also like to thank my team…"Ever since Andrew passed away, Marcus had been devastated, especially since Yvonne had been avoiding him like the plague.As the general manager of Cunningham Group, tonight's celebration had been mandatory, and it brought him an unexpected surprise.He couldn't believe that Yvonne, who had been avoiding him, was there at the banquet.The joy of seeing her =made him forget to question why she had come.It was only when she stepped on the stage that he realized how much she had grown over the past few years. That grow

Marcus finally noticed that Xavier was wearing the pink diamond brooch that he had gifted to Yvonne years ago.He had assumed that Yvonne had kept the brooch as a keepsake to remember him by. How had it ended up with Xavier?Besides, Xavier and Yvonne were wearing coordinated outfits, looking strikingly well-matched.Marcus was confused. "What do you mean by token of your affection?"Xavier took off his jacket and thoughtfully draped it around Yvonne's shoulders before answering slowly, "The pink diamond brooch is the reason why we met each other. Actually, maybe I should thank you for being our matchmaker."I was bored out of my mind at that auction three years ago, but I also met the love of my life there. By purchasing this pink diamond brooch, I gave Yvie the chance to continue her studies abroad while also gaining a lifetime of happiness. How lucky can a man be?"As for your idea of it being a keepsake, that's ridiculous. Don't you think you're being a little too self-absorb

Yvonne laughed, amused by Suzy's antics.In the corner, Marcus watched them silently, bitterness welling up in his chest when he saw his flowers being thrown into the trash while Yvonne and Xavier showed their affection for each other.He couldn't understand why Yvonne was being so ruthless, showing no regard for their past.Before, she had risked his life for him.After the meal, Suzy and Yvonne left through the side door, leaving Xavier behind. Naturally, Marcus didn't manage to catch Yvonne at the door.Xavier, however, was itching to punch him at this point. "You don't know anything, do you? Yvie doesn't like roses. She watched her parents die in a car crash, and they died covered in blood. Red roses remind her of blood. That's why she hates them."You've been with her for so long, and you don't know that? How dare you keep pestering her?"Marcus froze. Yvonne didn't like roses?He never knew that. He had always given her roses before. "How is that possible?" he said.

"The Cunningham Group's New Hot Spring Resort Accused of Plagiarizing a Koatian Project!"As soon as the news broke, the Cunningham Group's stock price began to plummet. The shareholders quickly demanded an urgent meeting.Outside Palm Bay, countless camera flashes went off in Xavier's and Yvonne's faces as soon as they exited the villa.Somehow, the media had gotten their address and had surrounded the entrance.Xavier shielded Yvonne as they struggled through the chaotic crowd to get to their car.Once inside, Suzy called Yvonne, telling her about the internal crisis the Cunningham Group was facing. She also told her to lie low for a while, but Yvonne knew that that wouldn't solve anything.At the shareholders' meeting, Marcus faced severe condemnation from Rachel's father, Daniel Sinclair. The latter demanded an immediate termination of the collaboration with John's team, withholding the remaining payment and suing Yvonne for an exorbitant amount in damages for breach of contr

"Two years ago, I worked in Koatia as a designer for a charity without pay, and the project I worked on was that hotel that I am accused of plagiarizing. Cathy is the name I used when I was there," Yvonne announced. She added, "In my hand is a certification from the Koatian hotel management that proves my claim. It's already been published on the Cunningham Group's official website, so you can check it there."As soon as she finished speaking, the room erupted into chaos.The media, always hungry for sensational headlines, weren't willing to leave just because the scandal had been debunked. Instead, their attention shifted toward the relationship between Yvonne and Marcus."Mr. Cunningham, there are rumors that you were once engaged to Vivian. Did you choose her design for the project out of personal bias?""Mr. Cunningham, there are also claims that you have secretly married Rachel not long ago. She appeared at Mr. Cunningham Senior's funeral, allegedly as his granddaughter-in-l

Daniel was silent for a long time, which made Rachel panic. "Dad, are you really going to send me away? You wouldn't!"Daniel looked at the stack of evidence in Marcus' hand. He sighed deeply and gave in. "Fine. I'll agree to your terms."Rachel, I'm sure you don't want to see me lose everything because of you. I'm old now. Just let it go—what isn't yours will never be yours. Now, apologize to Ms. Chapman."Rachel shook her head vehemently and glared at Yvonne. "I will never apologize to her! I would die before I do that. Don't even think about it, Yvonne Chapman!"Seeing this, Daniel had no choice but to swallow his pride. He inclined his head at Yvonne and said, "I am very sorry, Ms. Chapman. I should've taught Rachel better. If you can find it in your heart to forgive her, I would be grateful."Yvonne was a little touched by the sight. Daniel was clearly acting out of concern for his daughter.Rachel, on the other hand, couldn't accept her defeat. She stubbornly refused to apo

Rachel screamed in terror as she watched Marcus fall off the roof.Yvonne and Xavier rushed down the stairs to check on him. Using the last of his strength, Marcus confessed to Yvonne, "I'm… sorry. Let this be my atonement…"In the distance, the sound of police sirens filled the air.…Yvonne sat outside the ICU, staring blankly through the glass. Even when the doctor suggested a full-body examination for her, she remained unresponsive.Xavier tried to persuade her, but she refused to let anyone treat her wounds. In the end, he had to tend to her himself.Exhausted, Yvonne leaned against Xavier, continuously praying for Marcus' survival.Xavier tried to soothe her. "He'll be fine. He will."Finally, the doctor emerged to announce Marcus' condition. He had survived the ordeal, but he was left permanently disabled.When Yvonne went in to see him, he was still unconscious. There were tubes all over his body. As she tucked in his blanket, she noticed scars on his wrists—marks she

Xavier panicked as soon as he drew that terrifying conclusion.He began running through any potential enemies Yvonne might have garnered, while Marcus used his connection to try and track the black car.Unfortunately, all he found was that the car had disappeared without a trace on the southern overpass.Xavier took out his laptop and activated a tracker.Seeing this, Marcus sneered, "You put a tracker on her? So much for giving her the freedom of choice, huh?""We traveled together before. And you wouldn't know this, but Yvie has no sense of direction. I put the tracker on her to prevent her from getting lost aboard. Besides, it only activates with Yvonne's consent," Xavier shot back.Unfortunately, the tracker showed no activity at all.A thought flashed through Xavier's mind. He hesitated briefly and said, "I don't think Yvonne has any enemies. Maybe you should check your side instead."Marcus frowned. Could it be Rachel?Hastily, he called Peter. "Go and check if Rachel is

Finally, the day of the proposal arrived.There was a race on Automne Hill that day. Xavier had invited his friends to participate in the race with him. Yvonne came to watch the race as well and cheer for Xavier.She wasn't unfamiliar with racing—she'd accompanied Marcus back when he was recklessly endangering his life in a fit of rebellion.Xavier's friends were enthusiastic but maintained respectful boundaries, though they wouldn't stop calling her "Mrs. Linden".Before the race started, Xavier told Yvonne confidently that he would win the race for her.Yvonne didn't really care about the outcome and cheered him on. However, when the registration screen displayed the participants, a familiar name appeared—Marcus Cunningham.Marcus was staring at them intently from afar, dressed in his racing gear, clearly challenging Xavier.He had found out from his connections that Yvonne had met Xavier's parents and that Xavier was planning to propose to Yvonne after winning the race toda
