She comforted Renee Sinclair a few times and heard her say repeatedly, “I wish you were my sister–in–law, then we wouldn’t have nothing in common.”

Vivian’s eyes were full of amusement. “Don’t worry, she won’t enjoy this for long. You’ll happily go to the dinner soon.”

“Okay, thanks, Vivian.”

Renee Sinclair was pretty savvy; after hanging up, she looked maliciously toward the direction Yolanda left.

Yolanda originally planned to go back to Moonbay Estate to get ready and then head to Ian’s place.

But Jack, Charles’s driver, suddenly appeared at Moonbay Estate. Seeing her, he immediately opened the car door on one side.

“Mrs. Sinclair, Mr. Sinclair asked me to pick you up.”

Now she had no choice but to go.

She was a bit unhappy but didn’t say much, not wanting Charles to take it seriously.

She took Ian off the blacklist and told him to follow Simone’s car first, saying she would come get him back early in the morning.

Ian responded quickly.

[Got it.]

She stared at the word, recalling the chaos between the two of them in the makeup room.

She thought he would tone it down, but he only got worse.

[Ms. Grant, you’re sweet.]

Yolanda wasn’t experienced in this; she admired Charles since she was young but rarely got any response.

She instantly turned off her phone screen, her heart beating a little irregularly.

She turned her head to look out the window and opened it just a crack.

The cold air from outside blew in, and she suddenly felt much more awake.

She thought to herself how backwards her life had gotten, being flirted with by a man two years younger than her like this.

She closed her eyes, trying to give her mind a rest.

Jack glanced at her through the rearview mirror and noticed her empty hands–no gifts prepared–which surprised him.

He had assumed the bag she just carried was a gift for Mr. Sinclair, but she casually handed it to the housekeeper and told them to put it upstairs instead.

After all these years, this was the first time Yolanda didn’t bring a gift.
