Chapter 44:

With each word that left his lips, Leif felt his heart tighten.

He knew he couldn’t afford to cross either Shelly or Yvonne.

Hearing the name “Shelly,” Yvonne wasn’t surprised. She knew it had to be Shelly causing trouble again.

Lately, Norton had been glued to that model’s side. Word was, their nights were a blur of parties and excess, with him spoiling her like royalty, ready to do anything to keep her happy.

Even Edmond Burke, Norton’s grandfather, had brought it up a few times. But Yvonne had always dismissed it with a nonchalant, “It’s nothing serious.” After all, she had her pride, and complaining to Edmond was beneath her.

“What happened? Tell me everything,” she demanded.

Leif hesitated for a moment before finally explaining, “Miss Tucker once came to Mr. Burke in tears, saying she had been humiliated after failing to pay for something. She told him everything, and after hearing her out… he instructed me to reduce your card limit.”

Yvonne scoffed, her expression filled with icy contempt.

She remembered that incident all too well.

Ever since Shelly had caught Norton’s attention, she had been parading around like she owned the world.

Yvonne had once seen her shamelessly flashing Norton’s card, spending money as if it were endless.

Irritated, she had the card frozen on purpose, leaving Shelly stranded and humiliated when she couldn’t pay.

She hadn’t thought Shelly would be so petty as to run straight to Norton, tattling like a spoiled child.

Yvonne had clearly underestimated her. Looks like it was time to start taking Shelly seriously.

The moment Norton’s meeting wrapped up, Yvonne strode directly into his office.
