Yolanda Summers examined Purple Summersâ expression carefully and said, âThis time our family is holding a banquet, and Iâd like to ask you to invite my boyfriend⦠Aunt Atra has mentioned it to you, hasnât she?â
âShe has,â Purple nodded, âbut I donât know him. If you feel embarrassed, you can have your father invite him.â
A stiff smile formed on Yolandaâs face.
In the time she had been dating Sheldon Fowler, he had never visited Dylan Summers. How could it be possible that Dylan, a man in his fifties, would invite Sheldon, a green youth? Impossible!
Even if the Fowler Family was wealthy, Dylan was a significant official. He couldnât lose face!
Besides, she had secretly added the name, only for Dylan to strike it out. If she mentioned it again, it would definitely raise suspicion.
Yolanda said awkwardly, âAuntie, you know how my father is⦠heâs very proud. How can I embarrass him by asking⦠â
Purple responded with composure, âI care about my dignity too.â
Yolanda was taken aback; she hadnât expected Purple to react this way. Didnât girls usually love to play matchmaker?
Irritation crept into Yolandaâs heart. She bit her lip and continued to beg Purple in a subdued voice, âAuntie, please help⦠I was too petulant before. Recently he refuses to see me and wonât answer my calls. Iâm really scared⦠scared that heâll never pay attention to me againâ¦â
âThen break up,â Purple said seriously, tossing off a cutting remark, âAnyway, you two standing together donât match. When you wear high heels, youâre even half a head taller than him.â
Sheldon Fowler wasnât tall, nor was he handsome. Although not ugly, he was unremarkable in a crowd, save for his wealth.
Yolanda, of course, knew this, but what she originally desired was Sheldonâs money.
Yolandaâs expression turned ugly, suspecting Purple was mocking her. It was just about asking Purple to invite one more guest; why was it so difficult?
Yolanda restrained her temper, explaining softly and slowly, âWhen it comes to love, one canât just look at appearancesâ¦â
âYou donât like him that much, do you?â Purple interrupted, âOtherwise, youâd be very angry at what I said.â
Angry, Yolanda couldnât hold back any longer, âAuntie, if you donât want to help, thatâs fine, but why keep ridiculing me?â
âIâm not mocking you,â Purple said calmly, âI am helping you. I pulled you back from the path to crime, prevented you from going to jail. Isnât that helping you?â@@novelbin@@
Yolandaâs body swayed slightly, her pupils dilating in disbelief.
Purple continued helplessly, âI really donât understand you. If a relationship falls apart, so be it. Why must you go after his life? Do you know youâve been used by him? Those so-called kidnappers you found were actually arranged by Sheldon Fowler. When it comes to scheming, you two are quite a match. You even thought the same way.â
On hearing this, the color drained from Yolandaâs face, turning it as pale as paper.
She stared in shock for a long time before murmuring, âAre you saying that he⦠set me up?â
âIt seems heâs lost a lot of money at the casino and urgently needs cash. Once you have him kidnapped, he just has to sit back and wait for the ransom. Later, he could push the blame onto you⦠By then, the kidnappers will have vanished without a trace, and even with a hundred mouths, you wouldnât be able to clear your name.â
As Purple was slowly speaking, she saw Yolandaâs complexion turning worse. Suddenly, Yolanda covered her mouth, turned to the side, and bent over, retching!
Purple was startled and hurriedly stood up!
Even without much experience, combining Yolandaâs recent actions, Purpleâs mind flashed with realization, and she exclaimed in shock, âYolanda! Are you pregnant?!â
