Caught In His Embrace: A Second Chance Romance

Chapter 113

Seeing that Keyla was on the verge of tears, Yvette couldn’t help but feel surprised. “What’s going on? Take your time and explain.”

“Yvette, it’s like this… remember when I accidentally stepped on your foot that day?” Keyla hesitated for a moment before she started explaining the business trouble with the Gibson family.

“Mr. Flynn is doing this to get back at you. Can you talk to him for me? Ask him to let my family off the hook, please?” she added.

Yvette was stunned. Josiah was actually making things difficult for the Gibson family.

Keyla thought it was because of her, but Yvette had a feeling that wasn’t quite right.

Yvette kept her face expressionless. “You’re overthinking this, Josiah is never one to mix business with personal matters.

“This is just part of the business arrangement, and it has nothing to do with you. If you’re looking for answers, you should look at your father and brothers.”

“Really?” Keyla frowned, still not quite convinced.

“Really.” Yvette nodded. “I know him well.”

“Is that so?” Keyla seemed a little lost, unsure what to think. “Is it really not my

fault

“Yes, really,” Yvette reassured her. “Don’t take the blame for something that’s not your fault. How to handle this situation is not something you need to worry about.”

“Yeah, you’re right,” Keyla murmured, clearly persuaded. “I understand now.”

After seeing Keyla off, Yvette’s expression darkened. She thought for a moment, then picked up her phone and called Josiah

“Hey, Yvette?” Josiah sounded a little distracted. “What’s up? I’ve got to wrap this up soon, so make it quick.”

“Alright.” Yvette didn’t beat around the bush. “What’s going on with the Gibson family? What did you mean by that?”

Josiah was surprised. “How did you find out about this?”

“Keyla came to me for help. Yvette sighed, a bit helpless. “She’s just a kid. Why are you making trouble for her, Josiah? Can’t you just let it go?”

Josiah paused for a moment before firmly declining. “Sorry, Yvette, I can’t do that”

“Why not?” Yvette was taken aback, her anger rising. “Is this about Siennal
