Chapter 334
Tim greeted Clifford; the two of them had been friends for many years.
Aurora smiled, her expression somewhat mysterious. “Jeremiah and Yvette aren’t coming to the banquet. They’ll go straight to the exchange competition site.” Aurora already knew who would be playing in today’s chess match. ‘How much more. surprise does my daughter–in–law want to give me? I didn’t expect her to be a chess expert. I’m really looking forward to the match. Thinking about it made Aurora excited. ‘I can’t wait to leave this damn banquet even a moment longer.
Samantha felt a bit disappointed when she heard Aurora say that. She nodded and replied, “Alright, Aurora. If Yve isn’t coming, then I won’t be either. I’ll go straight to the exchange competition. By the way, is Yve also interested in chess?”
Clifford nodded. “Samantha, you’ll understand soon enough. Rest assured.” He had personally signed off on the final list of participants, so he was naturally the first to know that Yvette would be competing in the chess tournament. Despite being over fifty, Clifford still looked elegant and handsome, with traces of his youthful grace and charm.
Tim laughed heartily. “I’m telling you, Mrs. Chavez, your daughter–in–law is truly remarkable. Samantha has only met her a few times, but she talks about Yve every day. Andrew, that rascal, does the same. I really need to see who she is! What happened the day before yesterday was really impressive. No wonder she’s the Chavez family’s daughter–in–law–she has such character!” Tim didn’t lower his voice, and since most eyes at the banquet were on these few people, many heard what he said..Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
A small group gathered together, and a fashionable woman in her forties spoke up, “Did you hear that? Was Mr Mitchell praising Jeremiah’s girlfriend just now?”
A plumper woman added. “I heard it too. From what my son told me, Jeremiah’s girlfriend has a bad temper. Last time at the bar, she even dealt with a young model.”
“I heard about it as well, but my son said that model was asking for it.”
“Jeremiah’s girlfriend is named Yvette, right? It’s a pretty common name. Wasn’t it also a Yvette who dealt with those two from Ybaulla the day before yesterday?”
“Oh, it must be a coincidence. How could the Major General’s girlfriend hit someone!”
“What’s the big deal? Look at Mrs. Chavez’s dress–doesn’t it look familiar?”
Everyone nodded, and a woman looked closely. “Now that you mention it, it does look familiar. Didn’t ‘Vibe‘ exhibit this gown recently? Didn’t their director say it wasn’t for sale? What’s going on?”
“Yeah, I just remembered. Their director said they wouldn’t accept private orders and were very firm about it. So how is Mrs. Chavez wearing it now?”
A woman who saw them gathering approached and happened to hear this. She looked enviously toward Aurora and whispered, “Stop guessing. I know a bit about this. I have a relative who works at ‘Vibe. All thirty of the haute couture pieces they showcased this time are now at Mr. Chavez’s home. We can’t even dream of that.”
The women who were gossiping just moments ago all looked towards Aurora in unison. ‘All thirty haute couture pieces were bought by Aurora? What a joke! Didn’t ‘Vibe‘ say each person could only customize one piece? Why is Aurora getting special treatment?‘
Some people started to feel bitter upon hearing this. “Oh well, we just don’t have a husband like Mr. Chavez. Let ‘Vibe‘ break the rules for us.”
“Exactly, what else can we do? We don’t have his capabilities!”
The woman who had just approached immediately waved her hand. “My relative said it wasn’t Mr. Chavez. Jeremiah’s girlfriend casually made a phone call, and their director personally delivered all the dresses to them, even adjusting the sizes herself.”
The room fell silent as everyone looked incredulous. ‘Wasn’t she supposed to be a second–rate heiress from Seacrity? How could ‘Vibe‘ break their own rules for her? Not to mention, even one haute couture piece is something many of us couldn’t get no matter how much we begged!‘
The woman who had just arrived added. “Also, ‘Vibe‘ didn’t charge a single penny for the thirty haute couture pieces.” Dropping this bombshell, she left with her wine glass in hand.
Their daughter–in–law is so excellent. Who can they argue with now? They can only blame their own ungrateful sons.
The banquet passed quietly, with no participants from either country showing up. The photos taken by the media featured either this leader or that minister. Media outlets without permission didn’t dare publish photos, so the entire morning’s internet was calm. It was like the calm before a storm, with only a few people checking the news, all waiting for the global live broadcast of the upcoming exchange competition.
In the car, Jeremiah and a few others were on their way to the Eastern Hotel.
Yvette wore a black outfit today–black clothes and pants. Compared to her usual attire, she looked much more formal and serious. As soon as she got into the car, she found the most comfortable spot and nestled into the sofa.
Jeremiah was driving, with Charles and Andrew sitting in the back seats.
Yvette casually opened a piece of vanilla toffee, its milky aroma filling the air. She hadn’t eaten much lately because she’d been keeping in shape. Then she took out her phone, lowered her gaze, her eyelashes fluttering slightly. Her stunning beauty shone even brighter, and her delicate white fingers tapped lightly on the screen.
She hadn’t been playing Super Mario recently. She had discovered a more interesting game–a virtual pet game that was sweeping through elementary schools. Yvette had recently bought a pig, a donkey, and a very expensive Husky in the game. It was quite fun.
Andrew, sitting in the back, still had a You’re kidding me” expression on his face. He had just heard Jeremiah say that Yve was participating in the chess competition, meaning Yve was the mysterious competitor today. ‘Good grief, what’s going on here? Is Yve going to challenge the world champion?‘
Charles looked noticeably calmer. ‘The instructor’s intelligence even surpasses the principal of Mysonna’s top academy. The next chess match shouldn’t be a problem. For the instructor, it’s all about what they want to do or not.‘
Andrew composed himself, swallowed hard, and patted Yvette’s shoulder. Just as his hand touched her, Jeremiah gave him a piercing look and calmly said, “Don’t want the hand anymore?”
Andrew immediately withdrew his hand. As the lowest in the food chain, he felt frustrated and rubbed his hand. “Jeremiah, I was just expressing my admiration for Yvette.” Andrew thought for a moment and asked, “Yvette, can you tell me what you’re not good at?”
another piece of vanilla toffee, and put it in her mouth. Her Husky in the game was getting tore open Yvette looked up, married soon, but finding a partner was tough. She had spent ten thousand gold coins, but the Husky refused to agree. Tilting her head slightly, she casually replied to Andrew, “I don’t know, I haven’t met anyone yet.”
Andrew gave an awkward smile, realizing he had embarrassed himself and deserved the blow from someone as formidable as Yvette. Suddenly, he felt a bit sorry for Robin. ‘If he knew that his careless words had provoked such a strong opponent, would he want to die more? In the upcoming chess exchange, I have a feeling Robin will be crushed.
