Chapter 140

1366 you her

Edward was dressed to the nines, the picture of a corporate elite. He slid a cup of coffee across the table to Yolanda. “Yolanda, you’ve been doing an excellent job running Starlight.”

Yolanda flashed a polite smile. “It’s all thanks to Charles’s guidance.”

Then, she lowered her gaze and obediently took a quiet sip of her coffee.

Edward wasn’t here for pleasantries. He was holding out for the highest offer.

He’d been scheming for ages to take Charles down, but the guy was damn near invincible.

Now, Edward was probing her, trying to suss out a weakness.

If Yolanda was Charles’s Achilles‘ heel, Edward would pounce.

But after a few rounds, Yolanda didn’t let a single detail slip.

Edward’s face grew darker. “You’re barely surviving in the Sinclair family–caught between Renee and May, who both hate you. Why not join forces with me?”

He pulled out a small white bottle from under the table and discreetly slid it toward her.

Edward made it clear: if Yolanda didn’t accept it, she wouldn’t be walking out of here today.

‘He’s trying to pull me right into the Sinclair family’s power struggle,‘ Yolanda thought, her heart sinking.

With Dylan on his way back, Edward was getting visibly restless.

“Slip this into something Charles eats on the regular. Trust me–even if a doctor ran tests, they’d never find a trace. In half a year, I’ll make sure you get out of the country. The Grant family doesn’t care about you, and let’s be real–there’s nothing left for you in Beloris, is there?”

Yolanda took the bottle, her expression still unreadable, refusing to reveal a single thought.

Edward’s brow furrowed. ‘Yolanda really doesn’t look that bright… What was Charles thinking, handing Starlight over to her?‘

“Yolanda, Charles doesn’t care about you at all. If I wanted to, it’d be child’s play to wipe you out. So be smart about this, or keep your head down–at least then we can stay civil in the Sinclair family,” Edward said, his

voice cold.

Yolanda lifted her head, rose gracefully, and kept that polite smile. “Understood, Uncle Edward,” she replied lightly.

Edward pressed his lips together, waiting until she left before letting out a scoff.

‘Just some pitiful wife who got a brief taste of favor before falling back into obscurity,‘ he sneered to himself.
