Chapter 26: Zachary Leinster Began to Doubt Yvonne’s Identity
The middle-aged man was so fat that his black suit was almost like a raincoat, but he didn’t give up and wanted to have a try at Eva Loraine.
His voice was loud, which attracted many people around.
The whole band stopped except for Eva. The girl kept playing the cello as if she didn’t hear what that person said.
"Hey, I’m talking to you. Didn’t you hear me?"
The manager of the banquet hall hurried up and whispered a few words in Eva’s ear.
Eva stopped, and her face, which looked like an ink painting, was very cold.
"Manager, I am just a musician you invited, not your employee. You are not qualified to order me to do things beyond work."
Feeling a little embarrassed, the manager said, "Mr. Wang just asked you to have a few drinks, not to force you. Just have a drink and I’ll double your salary today."
Eva did not move.
"Three times."
Eva remained silence.
"Five times! Five times!"
If it was just a drink, five times the salary would be enough to attract Eva.
The money she made here was several times that of other places, and it would take her more than half a month to earn five times the salary. She was in urgent need of money, and that was all.
Thinking of this, Eva pursed her lips and put down the cello.
But at this moment, Mr. Wang laughed very viciously and said to the people next to him, "Wow, as I said, these little girls are the same now. No matter whether they are singing in the KTV or playing the cello in a five-star hotel, they will satisfy you as long as you can afford it. There is no music student, but a girl who wants to raise her social status to make money!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Eva’s face completely darkened.
She was about to stand up, but now she stopped. The girls of the band next to her heard the words and scoffed. But they secretly eyed Eva that the man was the head of the production industry in the north of the city, whom couldn’t be offended.
Eva pursed her lips tightly.
"What’s wrong with you? Can’t you come down? Do you still want to increase the money?"
Yvonne Taylor had been sitting in the first row eating pastries. She put down her
knife and fork silently, wiped her mouth with a proud napkin, and stood up with a sneer.
"Manager Lee, how could your hotel sink so low? I see a pervert here."
Yvonne had kept a low profile today. She did not take the initiative in social activities nor wear something luxury. But the manager of the banquet hall still recognized her at a glance and was shocked.
After all, she used to hold parties here often and spent millions of dollars every time. Although she hadn’t been here recently, she had always been the super VIP of the hotel.
"Yes... We didn’t manage it well..."
President Wang did not know Yvonne’s identity. Just a glance at her, he was attracted by her jade-like skin and began looking her up and down with obscene eyes. "Oh, who is your owner?" He asked, "you are so beautiful. Why have I never seen such a beautiful girl... Who is so lucky? Hey, look at her. Isn’t she beautiful?"
Yvonne’s face suddenly turned green, and Manager Lee’s face turned pale with fear.
"Hey, how old are you? Would you like to change your job? Come to my company and I promise I will give you better treatment..."
"Whoosh—"
The banquet hall was designed in the form of a courtyard, and those in the corridor on the second floor could see Yvonne, Eva and the others around them.
Cold red wine poured down from the second floor and fell on Mr. Wang’s bald head with few hairs left.
His suit and shirt were all stained with wine-red, looking very embarrassed.
The old man immediately screamed, "Who made it! Who poured the wine one me? Come out!"
Immediately, someone came forward to remind him anxiously, "Wang, don’t say that. That’s President Sherman’s daughter. Her father is a Frank Taylor!"
Yvonne was young, beautiful, and lively, who didn’t look like am arrogant lady from a rich family. But anyone with sharp eyes could tell that she was definitely not an ordinary girl.
Wang’s face suddenly turned green in fear. He met the freezing gaze of Zachary Leinster, who was standing upstairs with an empty red wine bottle in his hand.
"Apologize to her."
The man’s voice came from upstairs and fell coldly from above Yvonne’s head.
Yvonne looked up subconsciously as some people beside her did.
They saw a cold-faced man dressed in a suit. Zachary was looking down from above, like a king looking down on all living things.
Yesmina Sherman, who had just walked out of the private room on the second floor, was about to teach the old man a lesson. Before she could speak, she saw Zachary opposite the attic, who had already poured down a glass of wine. Zachary seemed so angry that Yesmina was forced to swallow her words back.
When the man surnamed Wang saw who had poured the wine just now, he was scared out of his wits.
Then he gritted his teeth and said, "It’s my fault. I didn’t know it was Mr. Leinster... And Miss Taylor."
"Well," Yvonne stepped on her high heels and said arrogantly, "everyone in this world has a head, but not everyone has a brain. There are so many people like you who are so blind. I don’t want to argue with you, but it’s not enough for you to apologize to both of us. You have to apologize to every musician here!"
Yvonne pointed at the musicians on stage as she spoke.
Most of them were girls and students majoring in music who had not graduated from school.
"It’s expensive and hard to learn music. They worked hard to earn money by working part-time here and brought you such wonderful music. Not only did you disrespect them, but you also insulted them. Do you really think that you can bully others with money? Then what are you in the eyes of those who are richer than you? Aren’t you an ant that can be killed easily?"
Yvonne’s sharp words were immediately approved by many people around.
Several music students on the stage also lowered their heads and fell silent.
It was expensive to learn music and buy musical instruments. Most of them were from ordinary families, and they could only practice hard and go to work part-time in various places where the good mixed with the bad.
Whether it was in the bar, hotel, or other places, they were usually looked down upon and insulted like this. In order to achieve their dream, the boys and girls could only grit their teeth and endure it. Those with talent were originally loftier than others, yet they had to suffer such humiliation. One could imagine how bitter it was.
On the second floor, Yesmina had been looking down at her daughter in the crowd downstairs. When she saw that the girl was so brave to stand out, she nodded with satisfaction.
The boss of the French company, who was talking about business with her, also saw this scene and smiled. Originally, he and Yesmina had not reached an agreement because of the price.
After thinking about it, the Frenchman said, "Sherman, I didn’t expect you to not only be so outstanding, but also have such an upright and beautiful daughter. Even Mr. Leinster was moved and stood out to help her."
"Mr. Leinster is an old friend of ours who has cooperated with us for many years. I believe in his taste, and let’s cooperate at the same price as you said this quarter!"
"Really?" Yesmina Sherman was overjoyed.
...
"Of course, my secretary will send the contract to your company tomorrow."
Yesmina Sherman was too surprised. She thought that this business would take at least a month, but she didn’t expect it to be settled like this.
"Thank you, Louis!"
While the Frenchmen were talking and laughing, one of them, who was well-dressed, said French to Yesmina. The interpreter immediately said, "President Sherman, Mr. Albert said that your daughter is very elegant. If she agrees, she can participate in the audition at their brand headquarters in France this season."
Albert was the director of a famous French luxury brand, whose products were preferred by Yesmina. It was really lucky for Yvonne Taylor to be favored by their boss.
"Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Albert. I will tell my daughter."
.
At the end, Yvonne was not only recognized by most of the participants, but also appreciated by the whole band.
Several of the band’s music students were well disposed towards Yvonne.
Among them, a tall and thin boy who played the violin even invited Yvonne to visit their hometown during the summer vacation.
Just as Yvonne was chatting with the boy, the man who had been watching coldly from upstairs had unknowingly arrived behind her.
"Yvonne Taylor."
Hearing this voice, Yvonne turned around subconsciously.
"Come here."
Zachary’s face was slightly darkened.
Yvonne said a few words to the boy in a hurry and then came to the side of Zachary.
The bright smile on her face gradually cooled down, leaving only the most indifferent expression.
"Mr. Leinster, what can I do for you?"
Hearing the sarcasm in her tone, Zachary said, "You’re really glorious today, attracting not only that old man, but also such a young boy.."
Yvonne was instantly enraged. and she said, "I can’t be bothered to talk to you."
"Stop."
Yvonne’s wrist was grabbed, and she couldn’t help staggering and falling into the man’s broad chest in front of everyone. She immediately stood up straight and said, "Let go of me!"
"Make it clear before you leave!"
"Make what clear? Everything is clear to me! Where is your beauty? Go and find her."
Looking at the girl’s puffed cheeks, Zachary raised his lips slightly.
"Is she jealous?" He thought.
"Go find her." Yvonne repeated.
Yvonne was about to leave again, but she was still dragged back.
Some people in the banquet hall had left, but there were still a few people scattered around.
"How dare Zachary stop me in public?" She thought.
"What are you doing? So many people are watching you!" Yvonne’s heart was beating fast since her mother was also upstairs.
The man didn’t want to let go of her at all. He held her waist and walked to a relatively secret place.
"You..."
The girl’s lips were forced open by the man’s tongue ruthlessly! A domineering aura swept through every single taste of her tongue.
Yvonne was pressed against the wall by Zachary with both of her wrists tied to the wall behind her. Her high heels were pressed against by his black leather shoes.
His kiss was overbearing and crazy, and it soon swept away all of Yvonne’s breathing.
The kiss lasted for a long time before Zachary letting go of the girl’s lips and teeth.
"I tasted jealousy."
Yvonne became angry from embarrassment. "Go away!" She ordered.
"How can he say that I’m jealous? I don’t admit it!" She thought.
"She is a public relations agent sent by one of our cooperative companies. Today, we just came out to talk about business, not some female companion, huh?"
"It has nothing to do with me," said Yvonne.
"Yvonne, don’t be angry with me."
Zachary looked straight at the girl, his dark eyes full of affection. "I know you are angry with me for what happened between me and your father last time," he said, "but I have no lover or female companion in my life. The only Mrs. Leinster is you."
"I believe you should know this."
He loved her until the end of his life.
Yvonne had already known it in her previous life.
Thinking of this, Yvonne said with in a softened tone, "Then let me go first. There are so many people here."
The man looked at her lips, where the color of lipstick had been ruined by him, and stood up straight again.
"Yesmina Sherman should be busy discussing the contract with her assistant now. She has no time to care about what we are doing here."
"Humph."
Sure enough, Yvonne’s cell phone rang at this time. It was a call from Yesmina.
"Hey, Yvonne, I have to stay here for a while. Wait for me."
Yvonne didn’t want to distract her mother from work, so she replied, "It’s okay. Mom, it’s not far from Dad’s house. I’ll go back first. Drive carefully when you go back."
"Well, don’t you want to eat something here? Just wait a little longer."
"No, mom. I’m going back to complete my homework!"
Yesmina could not resist Yvonne and eventually called the driver to send her off. However, Yvonne rejected the driver because Zachary was looking at her covetously from the side.
After sending the driver away, Zachary wanted to personally send Yvonne back to the Taylor Mansion.
"Actually, even if you come out with your mother tonight, you may not go back home..."
"Stop, it’s impossible."
Yvonne knew what Zachary was thinking about. He wanted to trick her out to spend the night every day.
The man held the steering wheel and chuckled.
At this moment, an ear-piercing screeching sound of brakes and a flash of light approached her face. For some reason, a truck ran into a red light and Yvonne’s face turned pale upon seeing it. She was so frightened that she screamed.
The man’s face was extremely tense as he stepped on the brake and quickly turned the steering wheel. Yvonne closed her eyes tightly. When she was still dizzy, the truck rushed out and hit the side of the road, causing the whole front of the truck to sink in.
The black Rolls-Royce had narrowly escaped, but Yvonne lost control of her emotions and screamed at the terrible scene. Zachary immediately covered her
eyes and comforted her with gentle voice, "Don’t look at it. It’s okay. It’s okay. I’m here."
Tears welled up in the girl’s eyes from Zachary’s fingers.
This scene immediately reminded her of her mother’s car accident in her previous life. Although she did not see it with her own eyes, at that time, the forensic doctor said that Yesmina’s whole body had been smashed into pieces.
Yvonne’s entire body was ice-cold, and she couldn’t stop trembling.
Zachary held her in his arms and comforted her, "It’s okay, it’s okay. Don’t be afraid."
Yvonne pushed his hand away and picked up her phone, shivering.
"Mom...!"
Yvonne seemed a little abnormal as she murmured and tried to call Yesmina directly.
Zachary was more confused about her behavior. Yvonne prayed while waiting for Yesmina to answer the phone. Fortunately, this time, Yesmina answered the phone soon.
"Yvonne? What’s wrong? What’s the matter?" Yesmina’s voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Thank God!" Yvonne covered her eyes as she cried.
Yesmina frowned and asked, "Are you crying?"
"Nothing, it’s just... I saw someone in a car accident just now. I’m afraid something happened to you."
"What are you hiding in your mind all day long? Don’t let your imagination run wild. Don’t worry, your mom isn’t that fragile!"
...
By the side, Zachary silently watched all of Yvonne’s reactions from beginning to end.
Her abnormal actions further deepened his confusion about her recent behavior.
What exactly was there in Yvonne’s memories?
What was there that he didn’t know? Or perhaps... The girl in front of him wasn’t the
"Yvonne" he knew...
