Chapter 309

Chapter 309 Andrew rubbed his eyes as he woke up and muttered, “Whose phone is that? Really knows how to pick the right time, interrupting my beautiful dream.”

Aurora walked up and said gently, “It’s Yvette’s. Wait, I’ll go call her.”

As soon as Andrew realized whose phone it was, he woke up instantly, panicking as he tried to get up. In his hurry, he hit his arm on the table, knocking over a water glass. The water spilled out and splashed directly onto the ringing phone. Andrew quickly wiped the phone with his hand. ‘Yvette’s old phone model wasn’t easy to replace nowadays, and if it broke, he’d be done for, he thought. Charles glanced at the black phone, knowing it had been with Ms. Zeller for almost ten years.

In his flustered state, Andrew accidentally pressed the wrong button, and a cheerful female voice came from the other end of the phone: “Hello, little boss, I have a tiny confession to make. I had no other choice just now and had to tell Alan that you’re the owner behind ‘Vibe‘ and the designer of the Blossom and Dream collections. But don’t worry, I already told him he must keep your identity a secret, so no one else will know. Yvette, you’re so generous, I’m sure you’ll forgive this little cutie of yours, right?”

Every word from the phone was heard loud and clear by the three people in the living room–Aurora, Andrew, and Charles -and their expressions were identical: all frozen in shock.

On the other end, Sienna thought Yvette might really be angry about her revealing her identity, so she quickly added, “Yvette, I really didn’t mean it. Don’t worry about Alan; he’s a reliable guy and has always admired you. Plus, today’s situation was too sudden. If I didn’t explain things clearly to him, there’s no way he’d have agreed to leave all thirty custom dresses behind. Please don’t be mad. How about I promise not to ask you for any design drafts for the next three years?”

Still, there was no response–just dead silence. In the huge living room, only the sound of the three people breathing heavily could be heard. On the other end, Sienna finally sensed something was off. Yvette wouldn’t be so angry that she couldn’t even speak, right? As she started to doubt, Yvette’s cold voice suddenly came through the phone: “I know.”

In the living room, Aurora slowly turned around to look at the stairs, where Yvette stood with her hands in her pockets, leaning casually against the railing, legs bent, calm and collected. Aurora realized ‘So, what that woman on the phone was saying was that her daughter–in–law was the founder of “Vibe” clothing company?‘ Aurora’s head buzzed, and she suddenly remembered catching a glimpse of the caller ID earlier–Sienna Now, she finally remembered who that was! She continued thinking “Wasn’t that the head designer of “Vibe,” a design genius admired by the entire fashion world? No wonder “Vibe” broke its usual rules and sent Alan personally to serve her. She had been suspicious all along–thirty custom–made dresses, all being left behind, and for free. Turns out, it wasn’t because Yvette saved the life of ‘Vibe’s secret owner; it was because Yvette is the secret owner.

Was there anything more shocking than this? The hottest clothing company in the world was founded by a girl in her twenties?

And now she was her daughter–in–law? Hmm... heaven must really have been smiling on her. This whole situation was so unbelievable, it made her want to scream. “Vibe” was established seven or eight years ago, and back then, Yvette had barely been an adult.‘ Aurora looked at Yvette, feeling more and more satisfied. ‘Her daughter–in- law’s business acumen was no joke.

Oh, dear... Does that mean she finally has someone to take over her company?‘ she thought. Aurora began scheming about how to hand over her business to Yvette. But given what she knew about her daughter–in–law, this was probably going to be a challenge.

Sitting half–slumped on the couch, Andrew was also in a dazed state. His pants were soaked where the water had spilled on them, but he hadn’t even noticed. Yvette had just revealed another mind–blowing secret? He thought, ‘Cyanbird the painter? An Interpol officer? The hidden boss behind ‘Vibe‘? My god! Yvette’s secrets were getting more and more terrifying. If she dropped one more bombshell, his heart might not survive. Turns out, Jeremiah had hit the jackpot by marrying her.‘ Andrew sighed–forget envying those who live charmed lives, he’d settle for finding a way to live off someone like that. ‘Why couldn’t he find someone like that? Beautiful? Check. Talented? Check. Unique personality? Check. And who else but Yvette could get drunk and still run military drills?‘ he thought in admiration.

Charles, on the other hand, was the only one keeping his composure, not as shaken as the others. He knew that a girl who could outclass a group of grown men at just ten years old could definitely be the founder of ‘Vibe! With Ms. Zeller, anything was possible; nothing had to make sense–she was the master of her own world.

Andrew let out a soft sigh, and Charles glanced sideways at him. Why was he getting all sentimental just because Yvette had revealed another secret? Charles asked, “What’s wrong with you?

Andrew lifted his head slightly and said softly, “I just think that some people are born to create miracles and crush others in the process.”

Charles nodded seriously and said, “You’re Yvette picked up the phone, turned off,, ht. Just get used to it.”

speaker, and casually said a few more words before hanging up. Turning around, her deep, tranquil phoenix–shaped eyes seemed to hold the universe within, serene and dazzling. She had changed into at simple white T–shirt and shorts after going upstairs, her hair tied up in a ponytail, exuding a youthful and slightly alluring vibe. Looking at this girl who always wore sports clothes, white T–shirts, jeans, and sneakers, who could have imagined that she was the secret boss of ‘Vibe,‘ the fashion label everyone in the industry chased after? Yvette glanced casually at the three people, raised an eyebrow, and said in an offhand manner, “I started ‘Vibe‘ a few years ago, J on a whim.”

The three of them were speechless.

Andrew clicked his tongue in disbelief Just on a whim? Could she be any more devastating to his fragile self–esteem? He also wanted to casually start a multi–billion–dollar company, alright?”

Charles smiled at how serious Yvette looked as she explained herself. He thought, ‘A clothing company worth hundreds of billions was really just a casual side project... Ms. Zeller certainly had a way of getting under people’s skin. If word of this got out, it would probably infuriate countless business people.

Aurora took a moment to compose herself, she thought, ‘Her daughter–in–law was simply amazing–what she said was so confidently bold yet endearingly cute.‘ Aurora looked at Yvette with high hopes and asked expectantly, “Yvette, I mean, just hypothetically speaking, if I were to hand over a company worth billions for you to manage, would you refuse?”

Yvette looked up, her tone casual. “I would. So don’t even think about it.”

Aurora’s face fell. ‘Why was it so hard to give her future daughter–in–law a company?‘ she thought.

Andrew sipped some water and watched the scene unfold, dying of envy. Even he could understand what Mrs. Chavez was hinting at, he thought, ‘She clearly wanted to hand over her entire business empire to Yvette. But alas, Yvette wasn’t the type to care about money. One wanted to give, and the other didn’t want to receive? Seriously, that was money! Who wouldn’t want it?‘

Andrew felt like his measly monthly salary of 1,500 might as well come with a noose–he felt so poor by comparison.

After chatting for a while longer, Aurora and Yvette said their goodbyes, and the Chavez family’s staff packed up the dresses, loading them into two large trucks. Even the security guard at the gate was stunned. ‘He’d seen plenty of rich people’s lifestyles, but a whole truckload of clothes? That was the next level,‘ he thought.
