âYvieâ¦â Sensing her hesitation, Wilson narrowed his eyes. He then leaned in closer to her. âTheyâve apologized. Donât give me the silent
treatment anymore.
The of his tone made Yvetteâs lips curve into a faint smile. Finally, she nodded. âAlright.â
Clearly pleased, the man beamed. He casually took Yvetteâs hand and led her out.
Just as they stepped outside room, an angry voice rang out.
âDamn it! Matt was the one who begged you to join Jubilife University. Now, the head of the Department of Medicine bullied you instead!â Gabriel had rushed over as soon as he heard the news. He was furious. âDonât worry, Yvie. Iâll make sure to settle this for you!â
He was not about to let the Pianist Associationâs treasure suffer such indignity!
Seeing Gabriel so worked up, Yvette felt a warm sensation in her heart. She softly reassured him, âItâs already been taken care of, Uncle Gabriel. You donât have to be upset.â
âItâs been taken care of?â Gabriel quickly asked, âYvie, was it handled ? Did you suffer any injustice â
Yvette shook her head and calmly replied, âNo, I didnât.â
She wasnât one to suffer quietly!
âGood, as long as youâre okay.â Gabriel sighed in relief. Then, he immediately started grumbling again.
âWhen Matt returns, I give him a piece of my mind. How could he let you get bullied like this on his watch? Useless!â
Suddenly, he tumed back to Yvette with a bright smile and said in ingratiating tone. âSo, Yvie, how about coming back to the Pianist Association? Everyone misses you!â
A hint of exasperation appeared in Yvetteâs eyes. âUncle Gabriel, I guess thatâs your real motive for coming today, huh?â Yvette Gabriel wanted to bring her back to the Pianist Association!
Getting exposed, Gabriel chuckled awkwardly. He said in an even pore flattering tone, âWell, I guess so. But mostly, I was angry and stand up for you!â
âWhen are we leaving?â
Wilson tightened his grip on Yvetteâs hand. His cold and unfriendly gaze landed on Gabriel
He wondered who Gabriel the right to call Yvette âYvieâ.
Only then did Gabriel notice the man standing beside Yvette. He was holding her hand so intimately. He immediately snapped at Gabriel, âSo, youâre the bastard trying to steal away our Yvie?â
