Emmett remained wary of Yvette, as he was of anyone who appeared around Jeremiah. His duty demanded extreme caution to ensure nothing went wrong. He couldn’t help but question Yvette’s presence.

Yvette’s sudden appearance at the auction on such an important day was highly suspicious. Even if she was here by coincidence, her presence might disrupt their plans. Nothing was certain

Jeremiah, who had been pouring coffee, paused as he thought, ‘She’s sharp. Emmett thought he had hidden his displeasure well, but Yvette had already.noticed it

“No. he doesn’t mean any harm. He just doesn’t understand why you’re here,” Jeremiah replied.

Yvette turned, staring at Jeremiah differently. After a few seconds of silence, her tone became more serious. “Aren’t you curious why I’m here?”
