The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection

Just then, Yvonne's boss called.

"Miss."

"That woman in the photo you sent yesterday is Sherlyn, Ernest Holt's granddaughter."

What? Ernest Holt? Yvonne was shocked. Having followed her boss for so long, of course she would know such a prominent figure.

"My goodness, miss! How could someone of Sherlyn's status be associated with Felix?"

Surprisingly, she laughed. "Ernest has settled in Avesburgh, right next door to Felix. Given how low-key Ernest is, some interaction as neighbors should be normal. It's probably just surface-level pleasantries, nothing big. "As for why Sherlyn helped Felix, perhaps Ernest just didn't like how the Phoenix Legion was making such a fuss over an ordinary person, so he sent his granddaughter to smooth things over. No need to read too much into it. "But if Felix really did earn Ernest's support, he might just have a shot at climbing the social ladder."

The call ended abruptly, leaving Yvonne with a bitter smile. The reason why her boss could be so open-minded was probably because of her status and position. Her boss might respect Emest, but Sherlyn? Probably not so much.
