Chapter 489 The next day, Emmett drove Yvette alone to Yoder Manor after breakfast.
An urgent matter had called Jeremiah away-something had cup with the First Military District back in Betrico that required his attention. While Jeremiah headed to the airport with Chris driving him, Yvette would go alone to meet with the Yoder family. Yoder Manor sat on Mysonna's eastern edge, a legacy of Carl Yoder's early success.
Like many in his generation, Carl valued the old traditions. Rumor had it that he'd consulted a master, who deemed the location highly promising for the prosperity of future generations. Every tree and stone seemed carefully placed, steeped in intention and respect for tradition As Emmett's car approached the manor's gates, he noticed a flashy sports car parked ahead. Leaning against it, wearing trendy clothes and dark sunglasses, was a young man surrounded by uniformed men. The look on his face and the intimidating stance of his entourage suggested trouble.
Emmett frowned. "Looks like someone's waiting for us up ahead, Yvette. Doesn't look friendly." Resting in the backseat with her eyes closed, Yvette glanced toward the group. "Ignore them." Emmett nodded. "Got it, Yvette." However, as they drew closer, the young man raised a hand, signaling his men to block the road, stopping their car.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtEmmett glanced at the scene, his brows furrowing. Something about this felt deliberate like they'd been waiting here specifically for them.
Turning to Yvette, he said, "Looks like this guy was expecting us Without a word, Yvette opened the car door and stepped out, her pace unhurried. Emmett quickly turned off the engine and joined her.
As they stepped forward, the young man, none other than Oliver Yoder-Carl's grandson-swaggered toward them, backed by a large group of his men, clearly intending to cause trouble.
Oliver eyed Yvette up and down, a cocky smirk on his face. He dought, "So this is Grandpa's idea of a potential match? She was way too attractive, nothing like the usual types his grandfather would approve of for a marriage prospect.
1 Feigning an aggressive tone, Oliver sneered, "So, you're Grandpa's guest today? Here for a little matchmaking? Letmake something clear-I'm not interested. Whatever daydream you're having about being with me? Forget it. I may not mind your looks, but I've already got someone. So take my advice and leave before you embarrass yourself. I don't hit women, but don't push me." Emmett's eye twitched. He wondered where this fool had cfrom, thinking he could say this to Yvette. It was clear this guy had no clue who he was talking to.
Yvette stared at Oliver and his crew, her expression flat and unreadable. Her eyes, cold and slightly narrowed, showed not a hint of warmth. "Your grandpa... Carl Yoder?" For a moment, Oliver was caught off guard. She'd just called his grandfather by name-a level of boldness he'd never expected. His shock quickly turned to anger.
"You... Do you dare say my grandpa's name? You've got a death wish!" Oliver clenched his teeth. "Get her! Let's bring her to Grandpa and show him what kind of person he's trying to matchwith." Yvette raised her eyebrows, her eyes carrying a mischievous glin dark and cold, with a faint smile on her lips.

This woman has no respect for my grandfather. Grab her now!" Emmett leaned over and said, "Yvette, why don't you step back for a moment? I'll take care of them. You do not need to get involved here." Yvette took two steps back, hands in her pockets, granting Emmett the lead.
As Emmett dispatched Oliver's men with effortless case, a few made a bold attempt to sneak up on Yvette from behind. Without even looking, Yvette kicked one back precisely, sending him flying several meters. Another tried his luck, throwing a punch, but Yvette caught his fist, barely flexing as she tightened her grip until his bones cracked.
The last man standing attempted a desperate lunge, only for Yvette to grip his throat and fling him under the car with surprising case..
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWatching Yvette calmly dismantle one attacker after another, Oliver was stunned. He thought, Is Grandpa trying to killby settingup with someone so... lethal? This isn't matchmaking. It is like being fed to a lion. Like his older brother, Joe, Oliver shared the ssurvival instinct: when the fight wasn't winnable, it was tto run.
Following Joe's philosophy-live to fight another day-Oliver immediately dashed for the manor to call for backup. But before he could make a move, Yvette's cold voice stopped him in his tracks. "Where do you think you're going?" Without looking back, Oliver gritted his teeth, turning to see Yvette standing there, hands in her pockets, that sunsettling smile on her face. "Fine," he spat, "stay here if you're so brave. I'll be back." He attempted another sprint, but just as he thought he was hfree, a small stone whizzed through the air, striking him in, the right leg. His leg went numb instantly, and he face-planted into the ground hard.
Having finished handling the rest of Oliver's men, Emmett returned to Yvette's side with a calm, "Yvette." Halfway up the hill at Yoder Manor, the scene looked like a full-blown accident site. Oliver and his men were sprawled out on the ground, groaning in pain.
Surprisingly, Oliver, after managing to get back up, pulled an unexpected move. He plopped down on the ground again, glaring at Yvette and Emmett. Tears were growing Oliver sobbed, "You violent woman! I'm a Yoder-your supposed match, in case you forgot! Couldn't you be a bit gentler? Can't you just talk things out? This is a civilized society, not a wrestling match! I was only trying to scare you a bit, and now I might be scarred for life. Just wait-III have Grandpa deal with you!"
Meanwhile, Joe was approaching the manor, having just bought a top-quality diamond necklace to gift Yvetté. But as he reached the entrance, the sight of bodies lying scattered around and Oliver holding his bruised face made Joe's expression darken. Joe wondered, 'Who had the guts to bully his family at their doorstep? Unbelievable!"
As Joe drove closer, he recognized two familiar silhouettes, sending a chill through his heart He thought, veix "Wait that Stance, that posture....is that Yvette? 'A horrifying possibility dawned on him, making him hit the gas. Joe could only hope in his heart that it wasn't Yvette. If Oliver had managed to annoy Yvette, Joe would have been left with only one very painful choice.
Pulling up and stepping out of his car, Joe's heart sank as the two figures turned to face him.
As soon as Joe stepped out, Oliver spotted him, his face lighting up with relief as if he'd just seen his savior. Chapter 489 0062% +5
Oliver said. "Joe! Finally, you're here! You have to avenge me! This m so-called alled 'match' Grandpa setup with actually dared to hit me. You have to lock her up!" 0 COMMENT 21:04 Sat, Dec 21 D
