Frankie sat back on the couch with an incredulous expression. Come on, Yvette, do you know Carl Yoder? That guy's been off the radar for years! The Mysonna Business Association has been trying to lure him back, but he never even shows his face. He's practically a legend. Everyone knows he's pushing eighty by now." Emmett raised an eyebrow at Frankie's confidence, giving him a light cough as a hint. "Don't be too sure. You never know."

Chris stayed quiet, watching Yvette peel an orange leisurely, her expression as calm as ever. He'd only asked about Carl Yoder on a whim, though he doubted it could be him. An invitation from a reclusive figure like Carl Yoder seemed like a long shot. Yvette popped a piece of the orange in her mouth, finally meeting everyone's gaze with a faint smile. "It is Carl Yoder."

Jeremiah sat quietly, showing no emotion on his face. Frankie, without missing a beat, jumped in. "See, I told you, how could it be Joe Shi...

Jeremiah sat beside her without much reaction, but Frankie was left speechless, only to blurt out, "Wait, hold on-THE Carl Yoder? The one we all know about?"

Frankie's reaction was understandable. Carl Yoder was a legend, someone the previous generation admired and respected. For him to invite Yvette and Jeremiah-it was like a bombshell revelation.

Chris looked equally surprised but handled it more gracefully than Frankie. "Yvette, you know Carl Yoder? He's been out of the public eye for so long, and they say he's been recovering from heart problems for years. Most people think his eldest son has taken over his empire." Emmett was also curious and recalled how warmly Joe Yoder treated Yvette in Voraxia. They were more than just acquaintances. However, the age gap between Yvette and Carl was too wide to explain their connection easily.

Jeremiah tilted his head slightly, meeting Yvette's gaze. His deep, steady eyes held a hint of question.

Yvette looked back, her gaze clear as crystal, one brow arched. "Curious?"

A gentle warmth flickered in Jeremiah's eyes as he replied, "Everything about you intrigues me."
