Chapter 9

Wilbur chuckled. “Sure. I’ll try to control myself.”

“Blake and I have decided to hold our wedding at Southlake Resort Island on the sixteenth of this month, and we’re inviting you,” Yvonne said.

Wilbur fell silent for a second before saying, “Why are you inviting me?”

“For you to see how perfect Blake and I are for each other, of course. We’re inviting all the members of Seechertown’s elite. Surely you wouldn’t dare to show up?” Yvonne said proudly.

Wilbur was calm. “So you just want to humiliate me.”

“Don’t call it that! I just wanted you to know that you never deserved someone like me. You’re a chicken if you don’t come. Bastard chicken.”

Wilbur understood what she was getting at. Yvonne was taking it out on him.

She knew that the five million dollars had been useful to the Willows but was not willing to admit it.

This was why she was going to all lengths to humiliate him and bring him down so she would appear better. She wanted to prove that she made the right decision all along.

What a joke. Wilbur sighed, “I’ll be there on time.” He hung up the phone after saying that.

Just then, the door of the house was pushed open, and Faye walked in carrying a bag of groceries.

“Hello, Boss,” Faye said respectfully.

Wilbur smiled lightly. “Did you go shopping for groceries?”

“I didn’t want your meals to be too plain,” Faye said.

“Thank you. You didn’t have to,” Wilbur reassured her.

“Of course I do! I need to eat too.”

Faye changed into her slippers and stored the groceries in the fridge before heading upstairs to change into her pajamas.
