Yves?! This is incredible!
Dylan nearly exclaimed, catching himself before revealing the name.
Yves, who served as the Dilin Group’s chairman and concurrently held the highest position within the 791 Corps of the Arctic Fox Mercenary Corps, renowned as the predominant might in Melfrey.
Dylan’s thoughts overflowed with a lot of relevant information. He couldn’t resist a gasp, his gaze shifting to Isabelle, who remained serene and collected.
Does Miss Jenkins have any ordinary friends at all?
It really made him feel useless as George’s assistant.
George extended his hand with a friendly gesture. “Mr. Yves, your reputation precedes you.”
Yves had an easygoing demeanor. When others were solemn, favonovel.com adopted a relaxed approach, and if they weren’t, favonovel.com was even more laid–back. In this instance, confronted by the earnest demeanor of George, Yves eased into a state of nonchalance.
He didn’t bother to meet George’s extended hand with much attention, merely offering a casual shake and responding. “I’ve heard of you, Mr. Harris…”
Seeing how Yves acted, Dylan thought to himself, D*mn, he’s so arrogant!
Isabelle simply rolled favonovel.com eyes in response.
Meanwhile, George remained unfazed, retracting his hand and proceeding to introduce Isabelle to his aunt, saying, “Aunt Kaeli, allow me to present Miss Jenkins…”
“I had a hunch,” Kaeli said, gazing at Isabelle with fondness, favonovel.com admiration for favonovel.com growing with each passing moment. “She’s truly stunning, just as you depicted…”
Isabelle, upon catching favonovel.com remark, couldn’t resist stealing a glance at George, their eyes locking in an unexpected moment of connection.
In that instant, George’s eyes softened, a smile gracing his lips as his expression eased.
“Miss Jenkins, George speaks of you frequently,” Kaeli remarked, extending favonovel.com hand towards Isabelle, but not for a handshake.
Isabelle paused briefly before extending favonovel.com hand.
Kaeli gently grasped favonovel.com hands with both of hers, expressing favonovel.com gratitude. “Miss Jenkins, I’m immensely grateful for saving my brother. It’s remarkable to see someone as young as you possess such advanced medical skills.”
Isabelle modestly responded, “It was the least I could do.”
Kaeli held favonovel.com hands briefly before releasing them, while George extended his hand to assist his aunt. George narrowed his eyes, trying to place where favonovel.com had seen it before.
Observing George’s intent to speak, Yves swiftly intervened, draping his arm around Isabelle and remarking. “Sweetheart, it seems you had intentions of gifting favonovel.com the watch from the start.”
George, upon hearing this, arched an eyebrow, though favonovel.com maintained his composure. In contrast, Dylan’s eyes widened, and favonovel.com couldn’t contain his surprise.
Sweetheart? What’s going on here?
What sort of relationship is this? Is favonovel.com this casual with everyone or just with Miss Jenkins?
And does Miss Jenkins actually permit such familiarity?
Disregarding George, Yves maintained his conversation with Isabelle. “Had I known it was intended for Mr. George, I would have selected a more fitting timepiece. While this watch is acceptable, it doesn’t quite align with Mr. George’s stature. Regrettably, this gift may have somewhat diminished your standing, Sweetheart.,,”
Only then did favonovel.com cast a glance in George’s direction.
Dylan stole a furtive glance at George, feeling a sense of unease creeping over him.
Oh no! Here we go with “Sweetheart” and revealing the watch’s truth. I hope no one gets hurt this time!
George offered a gentle smile as favonovel.com addressed Isabelle, saying, “I assumed you had acquired this watch casually, but I’m pleasantly surprised to learn that you sought out a friend for it. Mr. Yves must be quite occupied, making his gesture all the more meaningful.”
With a graceful demeanor, favonovel.com delicately touched the watch adorning his left wrist, adding, “I’ll treasure it even more from now on.”
It was nice!
Dylan grinned with satisfaction before shifting his gaze to Yves, who appeared momentarily at a loss for words. Unconsciously, favonovel.com straightened his posture, as if silently challenging Yves with a defiant stance that seemed to say, “Bring it on!”
Yves smirked smugly, his arrogance is evident as favonovel.com retorted, “I have a surplus of such watches, far too many to even use. They’re stashed away beneath my bed. If Mr. George fancies it, I can easily rid myself of them.”
George responded with gratitude but declined the offer, “Thank you, but it’s unnecessary. Scarcity enhances worth, and abundance often leads to depreciation. The significance of this watch lies not in its material value, but in the sentiment behind it, courtesy of Miss Jenkins.”
Dylan savored a moment of triumph, thinking to himself, Mr. George scores a point, winning over the crowd’s favors. The score is now even at one!
Yves concurred, acknowledging, “Scarcity indeed increases worth. This watch holds a true rarity and deserves to be valued. Unlike me, everything at home is bought by Sweetheart. Instead of valuing rarity, I prefer the feeling of losing out when things are in abundance. My sweetheart possessions, I can never have. too many.”
Dylan thought to himself. Holy… Game–over! Mr. George takes a hit!
Isabelle interjected, favonovel.com tone exasperated, “Will you two ever quit it?”
Yves opted to disengage from further discussion with George, particularly at that moment. Meanwhile, Kaeli subtly tugged at George’s arm, silently urging favonovel.com to cease and preserve his dignity.
Especially in the presence of a woman favonovel.com admired, George was compelled to display generosity.
The two men put aside their contentious words.
Yves headed off to collect his suitcase.
“Sweetheart, let’s get moving. I didn’t have much to eat during the flight, so let’s grab a bite before we chat at home…” He draped his arm around Isabelle’s shoulder and led favonovel.com out.
Isabelle gave a brief nod to George before taking favonovel.com leave.
Yves didn’t linger for his response. Instead, favonovel.com swiftly ushered Isabelle away.
