Chapter 248

Jeremiah was calm and composed. He was silent for a few seconds and said, “he informed Phantom about my whereabouts. in Seacrity. Does he think Clusia is a place where he can come and go as he wishes? Since he’s here, make sure he stays permanently Jeremiah’s voice was calm, but Bruce sensed the strong threat in his last words, and thought, “We finally face off against the Goodman family in the open “Understood, Mr. Chavez. I’ll pass the information on to Braydon. As for Phantom, should we keep him on hold for you to handle personally, or take him out on the spot?”

Jeremiah paused for a moment, his gaze cold. He said the most ruthless words in the calmest tone.

Jeremiah said. “Take his body to the Goodman family”

Bruce showed that he understood.

The Phantom, who had recently received a task from Braydon while far away in Mysonna, never thought he would be immediately captured upon landing in Seacrity. Before he could even meet Jeremiah in person, he died and his body was sent to Mysonna Jeremiah hung up and returned to the living room, where Emmett washed vegetables in the kitchen, and Emmett looked professional.

Jeremiah didn’t like strangers coming to his house, so Emmett took care of most of Skyland’s affairs.

Occasionally, Aurora would send a servant from the Chavez family to clean, and it’d been for years.

Yvette was idly playing with her phone, lounging lazily on the couch. Just a moment ago, she received a text from an unknown number.

[Hello Siren, it’s James. Simon mentioned you’ve arrived in Betrico. Are you free to meet up tomorrow?]

Yvette’s pale fingers tapped lightly on the phone screen, sending a brief message.

Yvette: [Sure, when and where?]

In less than half a minute, a response from an unknown number appeared, [10:30, at Bamboo Hall Don’t miss it.]

Yvette heard footsteps approaching, so she tilted her head slightly to casually glance at Jeremiah who had entered. Yvette put her phone away and looked at his deep eyes, She propped up her chin and chuckled softly. “Women’s clothes?

Jeremiah paused and casually walked over to the couch and sat next to Yvette.

Jeremiah was a little embarrassed, pulling Yvette into his arms with a raised eyebrow, and said slowly, “Jase was just making up stories.”

Yvette leaned back comfortably into Jeremiah’s arms, looking up at him naturally. Her eyes were cold, and she asked, “Really?”

Jeremiah tidied Yvette’s hair gently and cleared his throat and said, “It was just that once.”

Jeremiah thought, “Why does getting caught in a lie happen so quickly?

Yvette smiled and said in a soft voice, “I bet it looked pretty good 09:55 Sun, Oct 20 Chapter 248 Emmett stepped out of the kitchen wearing an apron, having just finished washing the vegetables. He interrupted the intense gaze between Jeremiah and Yvette.

Emmett said, “Mr. Chavez, Yvette, the veggies are-”

Seeing them, Emmett abruptly stopped talking and thought, I need to pretend I see nothing”

The next day, Jeremiah headed to the army base early in the morning to handle some military affairs.

Yvette casually picked a sleek black scooter from the parking garage, which was so inconspicuous as it was tucked away the comer.

Yvette hopped on, secured her helmet, and headed straight for Bamboo Hall, conveniently close to Skyland Inside the security booth, the guard who was swapped out yesterday was back at his post. As he looked up, he saw the beautiful girl Yvette riding a sleek black scooter out of the gates.

The guard rubbed his eyes in disbelief. It was the first time he’d seen someone using a scooter at Skyland.

in The residents here were either high-ranking officials or wealthy tycoons, and they traveled in luxury cars. Even the servants drove BMWs for grocery shopping, so seeing a scooter was surprising for the guard.

Yvette parked her scooter at the entrance of Bamboo Hall. The scooter was surrounded by an assortment of luxury making it stand out quite a bit.

cars, Yvette walked up to the entrance and saw two young women in gowns with their hair elegantly styled who were elegant. The two young women saw Yvette step off her black scooter, so their attitudes inevitably became dismissive.

Since all patrons at Bamboo Hall came from the social elite, the servants here were arrogant. The two servants were jealous of Yvette’s beauty and looked even more disdainful at the unknown brand-name clothes Yvette was wearing.

So the two exchanged a knowing glance and adopted an air of superiority.

One of the two girls said, “Hello, are you here to dine? Bamboo Hall is a members-only restaurant. We don’t admit walk-ins The minimum for a membership card is 1.5 million dollars. If you’re interested, please come with me to handle the application Yvette’s face showed no emotion, and her cold, beautiful eyebrows were exceptionally striking.

With one hand in her pocket, Yvette walked up the steps. Her long legs were straight and fair-skinned. Her eyes were cold, with brown pupils that were aloof and indifferent. When she raised her eyes, her gaze was as calm as a deep pool.

Yvette asked, “1.5 million dollars? Is that enough?”

The two servants looked even more disdainful when they heard this.

The thought, ‘Is this pretty girl out of her mind to ask if 1.5 million dollars is enough? Her pocket is probably empty. 1.5 million dollars? She probably can’t even pull out 150 dollars. With only a pretty face, what is she trying to do here?”

One of the taller servants grew a bit impatient and mocked Yvette. “Miss, if you don’t have 1.5 million dollars, stop lingering here.

We’re about to host an important guest, Mr. Owens, the director of Betrico’s physics lab. You might be better off trying the diners two blocks away because they’re more suited for ordinary people.”

The other servant, with his newly done nose, added, “Miss, there are plenty of food stalls on the next street. They’ll fill you up Just then, a man in a well-tailored suit came out, glanced at Yvette, and said rudely. “What are you two doing here? Get that irrelevant person out quickly. Don’t let her delay the important quests we’re expecting”

The two servants gave the man a flattering smile and said, “Okay, Mr. Lake. We’re not sure what’s wrong with this girl. She acts like she doesn’t understand us. She’s trying to come in and spend money without a membership. We kindly explained the store rules to her, but she didn’t listen.”

The underlying message was that Yvette was stubbornly hanging around here and wouldn’t leave.

Yvette glanced at the three of them casually, bent one knee, took out her phone, and called right in front of them. The person on the other end answered quickly.

Yvette was concise and clear. “Withdraw the investment from Bamboo Hall,”

The person on the other end of the line didn’t hesitate to agree and asked, “What happened? Did someone from Bamboo Hall foolishly offend you? Do you want me to handle it personally?”

Yvette replied, “No need.”

Yvette hung up the phone after speaking.

In a skyscraper located in the busiest business district, an attractive woman in business attire appeared around twenty-seven years old. Her makeup was flawless, and her hair was casually styled.

The girl looked at the phone that had just been hung up, shook her head in resignation, and thought, “Yvette hasn’t changed The girl had just learned three days ago that Yvette would be coming to Betrico, so she insisted on inviting Yvette for a meal.

only to be met with a firm refusal There was nothing the girl could do but wait for Yvette to come to Betrico and make an early reservation for the next time.

But the girl thought Bamboo Hall must have a death wish to dare to offend Yvette, and she immediately called the internal line for her secretary.

Bamboo Hall had been waiting for the investment from the girl for almost a year. It was supposed to be finalized soon, and, she was glad she didn’t go through with the proposal.
