Chapter 136 Xoan’s Jealousy

Yaslyn frowned as she looked Henry in the eye. "How could I be? Have you ever seen a company president with as much free time as me?"Though crudely put, her words made sense, and Henry abandoned the thought, returning to his downcast mood."You may encounter Spencer when we get to the company. Try to be in good spirits. He's a bit odd, and I worry that you might…"Yaslyn hesitated, but Henry understood her meaning completely. He suddenly grew anxious.Upon arriving, Yaslyn observed how everyone resisted the urge to greet her formally, making her want to chuckle. She had called Wade earlier and forbade anyone at Mango Tree Entertainment from addressing her as 'president'—a directive that appeared to be effective.First, Yaslyn led Henry to the office, where Mango Tree Entertainment's interim CEO—Harrison Zoer—was waiting. When Harrison saw Yaslyn, he seemed lost for words."Is there something you need?" Harrison seemed thrown off, unsure how to address Yaslyn since he could not r

Chapter 137 The Awkwardness of Interrupting a Private Moment

Yaslyn burst into a light chuckle as she finally understood why Xoan looked so unhappy. He was jealous!"Xoan, you're acting like a child," Yaslyn commented.Xoan had always displayed a demeanor of maturity and composure, with perhaps an occasional hint of ruthlessness. It was surprising to see him bicker like a child.Continuing from where he left off, he replied, "Come home with me."Xoan, noticing the mischievous smile on Yaslyn's face, felt even more irritated. Without exchanging pleasantries, he grabbed her arm and led her away.Behind them, Harrison was more intrigued by the words 'girlfriend' than anything else. Realizing that the notoriously icy Yaslyn had a boyfriend who was also the president of the Warren Group, he considered it valuable information.Harrison gleefully roamed the office, spreading the news like wildfire throughout the company.Yaslyn, who was dragged into the car by Xoan, sensed a chilling shift in the atmosphere."What's your relationship with that

Chapter 138 Bribery

"Marcus, I'm giving you one more chance to rephrase that."Yaslyn nearly exploded, and Xoan felt a pang of sympathy for Marcus.Marcus froze with a frown on his face, while Yaslyn's murderous expression displayed her growing rage."Yaslyn, I didn't mean…"Marcus grinned awkwardly, fearing that Yaslyn would slap his face.Taking a deep breath, Yaslyn asked, "Is it really that terrible?"Unable to outright lie, Marcus responded diplomatically, "It's not that it's bad. It just could use a little improvement…"So, in other words, it was terrible.Feeling disappointed, Yaslyn remembered Xoan's previous compliment and grew more discouraged.Xoan was probably just comforting her. Despite his seemingly cold demeanor, he was actually quite kind."It's good. Don't listen to Marcus's nonsense," Xoan interjected.Not willing to sit back and watch his girlfriend sulk, Xoan shot Marcus a cold glare before adding, "What Marcus meant to say is that it actually tastes quite decent, and he'll

Chapter 139 Equivalent Exchange

"It's been a while, Ms. Lyon. How have you been?"Rowan's voice still carried that aloof, indifferent tone, as if nothing in the world could capture his interest."I've been well, thank you. Mr. Yackley, aren't you being too concerned about me?" Yaslyn asked.Although Rowan had no explicit intentions toward her, Yaslyn still sensed a hidden agenda."I've said it before. I admire you, Ms. Lyon. A bit of concern should be expected," Rowan said, leaning in with a light laugh."If I must give a reason, then it's simply that I like you."Yaslyn peered into his smiling eyes, feeling a chill creep up her spine for some inexplicable reason. "The world is filled with people, Mr. Yackley. Why focus solely on me?""It's not about holding onto you. It's that you possess something that I find appealing," Rowan replied, swirling his wine glass in high spirits."You should know, Ms. Lyon, my interest in you isn't something new."Yaslyn felt annoyed but held her tongue since they were in a pu

Chapter 140 Turning the Tables

Rowan acted as he recalled something."Of course, it doesn't matter to you, but what if a journalist saw it? Zyra has always crafted a pure and innocent image. If people discover that their idol is in love and even kissed someone, her career would take a huge hit."Yaslyn admitted, "You have a point. However, we were the only witnesses, weren't we? As long as you keep quiet, no one else will find out."Rowan countered with a smirk. "How come someone as clever as you can't see the obvious? There was someone else spying on them."Yaslyn understood instantly. Rowan had meant to warn her. "So, do you know who it was?"Rowan responded slyly, "That's beyond what I can disclose. If you're so curious, why not trade some other information with me?""What would that be?" Yaslyn asked with a frown."Become the vice president at my company," Rowan offered.Yaslyn dismissed the idea without hesitation. "Absolutely not. I won't join your company."Rowan shrugged, feigning helplessness. "Wel

Chapter 141 Being in Trouble

There was an eerie silence in the dim room with no lights on. Yaslyn was surprised but remained stoic. Reaching for the light switch, she paused when she heard a muffled voice from somewhere in the room. In the quiet atmosphere, she could hear the words clearly, "I told you, I can't drink anymore. Please don't make me..." The voice sounded vaguely familiar. Yaslyn could have sworn she heard it before.Shortly after, she heard the soft sound of someone turning on the bed. It seemed like someone drunk was sleeping it off in here. Could Yollanda's plan have been to bring her, drugged as she was, to someone inebriated—all to ruin her reputation?While lamenting Yollanda's lowly tactics, Yaslyn discreetly observed the room. The only smell was a faint rose fragrance, suggesting that this person was simply asleep, not drugged. Hesitant to take chances, Yaslyn turned on her phone's flashlight to illuminate the sleeper's face. The next second, her expression turned as dark as coal. The person

Chapter 142 The Judgment of Yollanda

Xoan glared at her, his tone tinged with reproach. "Don't do that again. You had me worried."Yaslyn looked at him, amused by his anxious expression. "What would you have done if that had been me in that room?""I would've gouged out everyone's eyes and thrown them into the sea as fish food."Though the words were harsh, Yaslyn felt a wave of comfort from Xoan's protective stance."Of course it couldn't have been me. I'm smarter than most people," Yaslyn declared confidently. Suddenly, she remembered something and could not resist asking, "How did you know it wasn't me in there?"Yollanda had a similar build to her, which could almost pass for the real thing.Unblinkingly, Xoan said lazily, "The hair is different."Yollanda had soft straight hair, while Yaslyn had glossy black waves. The difference in their dispositions was evident.Suddenly, Yaslyn thought of the person inside being undressed and could not help but ask, "Are you sure you didn't peek?"Xoan changed his express

Chapter 143 A Calm Analysis

Actually, Xoan had ordered his security to encircle the Stewart family mainly out of concern for Yaslyn's safety, lest the culprits escape. Little did he know, his actions would prove to be useful."I still remember what the waiter who led me looks like," Yaslyn casually mentioned. The man's legs immediately weakened, and he began to tremble."What are you nervous about? I haven't said anything yet." Yaslyn folded her arms and paced back and forth in front of him, watching as beads of sweat rolled down his forehead. Deciding it was time to speak, she questioned, "So, was it Yollanda who asked you to lead me into that room?"Remembering Yollanda's instructions and thinking about his innocent child, the waiter hardened his resolve and declared, "I don't even know Ms. Stewart. I led you to the room because you were drunk and asked me to."Yaslyn raised an eyebrow. "Not telling the truth?"He was offered a way out and chose not to take it. Yaslyn felt no need to sympathize with him an

Chapter 144 Unwilling to Admit Affection

Yollanda looked at his perturbed expression and felt a chill run down her spine. "Xoan, what are you planning to do?""What am I planning, you ask? To make you face the consequences, of course."Yollanda's eyes widened as she looked around. "Xoan, do you realize what you're doing is illegal? There are journalists here. If word gets out, you won't escape unscathed!"Upon hearing this, Xoan did not display any significant emotional reaction. He leisurely scanned the surrounding crowd and asked, "Did anyone here see anything?"In all of Jefferson City, who did not know the name Xoan Warren? Though he was discreet in his dealings, that did not mean he was a man of compassion. A man once spoke ill of Xoan after a failed business deal, and the very next day, his entire family was driven out of Jefferson City. The scope of Xoan's influence was an enigma. The only thing people knew for certain was to keep a respectful distance and address him as Mr. Xoan Warren.The woman daring to threat

Chapter 145 Mr. Warren's Jealousy

Yaslyn gave Zyra a comforting look as if to keep her from overthinking. "Don't take it to heart. Marcus has always talked like this."Upon hearing this, Zyra's strained expression fell apart. She was on the brink of tears. "I'm fine," she said, sniffing and forcing herself to be strong."Alright, don't worry. I'll give him a talking-to when I get back.""Thank you, Yaslyn," Zyra said, grateful for the support.Worried that Zyra might break down in tears, Yaslyn quickly left with Xoan.Once back in the car, Yaslyn noticed Marcus sulking in the back seat. She could not help but ask, "Why did you speak like that? Do you really not like her?""Of course not. Who could like someone as clueless and foolish as her?" Marcus said."So you're just being stubborn, huh? Then why do you care if there's another man in her house? Marcus, I didn't know you were so meddlesome."Noticing a slight change in his expression, Yaslyn continued, "And I suspect you're upset now because she asked you to
