Chapter 227

As Hunter left, Irene and Yvette fixated on Yasmine's retreating figure. No matter how hard they tried, they couldn't comprehend how they'd been completely outmaneuvered.

"You can't leave!" As Yasmine and Morgan were about to make their exit, Irene called out loudly, "Yasmine!"

"I'm not sure what else Ms. White wants to discuss. The auction is over," Yasmine stated.

"I don't need you to remind me, I know the auction's over. What I didn't expect was how deep your scheming runs. I'm impressed you could spin me around like this. But I'm curious, who told you about Misty Evergreen Isle? Was it Yonas?" Irene glanced softly at Yonas beside her.

In all of Soucrity, aside from Yonas, no one else could access such confidential documents. How Hunter got them was a mystery, but Irene was sure that the intel Yasmine held came from Yonas.

Yasmine chuckled self-mockingly, "Ms. White, are you asking me or interrogating me? Besides, why should I tell you?" She pierced through the crowd with her gaze, locking onto Yvette, and uttered a meaningful line, "Ms. Grant, happy cooperation."

Irene suddenly glanced at Yvette, and Xavier furrowed his brows as he looked at her, too. Just when she was about to ask Yasmine something, she realized that Yasmine had already left with Lucy and Morgan. Irene looked at Yonas, "Yonas, I have something to ask you, Yvette, you can go ahead, no need to wait for me." She paused before also addressing Xavier, "Mr. Flynn, may I have a word with your wife?" "Xavier, don't..." Yvette cautiously held onto Xavier's hand, sensing the dangerous vibe coming from Irene, making her want to flee. To her surprise, Xavier simply shook off her hand and walked out of the venue.

The auction had only ended fifteen minutes ago, yet the venue was empty, except for Yvette and Irene. Yvette swallowed nervously, staring anxiously at Irene, "Ms. White, what do you want to talk about?"

"You betrayed me?" Irene squinted her eyes. Yvette nervously stepped back, while Irene kept closing the gap between them, slowly cornering Yvette.
