Chapter 180
180 Wanda and Yvette’s Lie
“N–No! Don’t write the letter!” Karina shrieked. If Wonda wrote the letter, Karina would be done for.
Wanda frowned. “Goodness, Ms. Greene. You nearly scared the daylights out of me.”
“Sorry. Mrs. Yates,” Karina apologized. She scrolled through the webpage as she said hurriedly, “What
about the pay you promised me?”
Wanda snorted. “I’ll transfer it to you.”
The moment Karina received the money, she bought herself a plane ticket.
Perhaps her fear of Wynter got the better of her, for she warned Wanda, “Mrs. Yates, you ought to be
careful of Wynter. She’s a little twisted.”
“Her?” Wanda was unconvinced. “Why should I be careful of a poor and powerless brat like her?”
“She- Before Karina could elaborate, officers from the Education Ministry showed up at her door.
When the call ended abruptly, Wanda grumbled to herself, “She’s all over the place.”
The butler announced, “Mrs. Yates, Ms. Young has arrived!”
Wanda straightened up immediately. “Quick, go and get Yvette!”
The butler dared not dawdle. “Right away, ma’am!”
The Yates were expecting an important guest today
Fiona had been working for the Quinnells for many years. Whatever she said carried weight in the
prestigious family who hailed from Kingsbourne.
With the Quinnells‘ wealth, even a small collaboration with them could be worth an astronomical sum.
After learning who the honored guest was, Yvette made sure to look her best.
Presently, Yvette and Wanda stood by the villa entrance. Their eyes were filled with envy when they
saw the approaching Rolls–Royce.
When the Rolls–Royce came to a stop, Wanda hurried over to greet her guest. “Ms. Young, it’s been
more
than a decade and you still look as elegant as ever!”
Fiona allowed Wanda to help her out of the car. She might be just a nanny for the Quinnells, but she
was decked out like royalty. “Oh, I have nothing on you youngsters.”
Afterward, she glanced at Yvette and said, “And you must be my niece.”
Yvette displayed her portrait of humility as she answered, “Yes.”
Her response pleased Fiona, who thought Yvette behaved appropriately as a young lady in a second–
rate city.
She was nothing like the rude young lady Ryan had brought over to the Quinnells‘ place that one time.
180 Wanda and Yvette s Lie
That young lady had thought she was entitled just because she had saved Fabian.
“Your mother told me that you were well–versed in medicine,” Fiona said to Yvette.
Yvette replied demurely, “I’m studying medicine at Sacred Heart Medical University. I’d be happy to
give. you a consultation if you ever feel unwell.”
“Impressive, Fiona praised absentmindedly. “You’ve raised her well, Wanda.”
Wanda did not shy away from the compliment. “Oh, she’s quite an excellent student. The third son of
the Yarwoods was a patient of hers, too.”
Only then did Fiona regard Yvette and Wanda with amazement. “You mean she’s seen the elusive Mr.
Yarwood?”
Not even Fiona had seen Dalton in person despite all her years of service at the Quinnells‘ place. She
had to respect her distant relatives for such an accomplishment.
Yvette knew at once Fiona had misunderstood, but she did not try to explain. Taking Fiona’s hand, she
said gently, “Yes, I met him once.”
Fiona was delighted. “How splendid! You must come with me to meet Ms. Quinnell tomorrow.”
“Yes, Aunt Fiona,” Yvette tried to refrain from sounding too excited..
Wanda was practically glowing with pride. “Ms. Young, do have a seat. We’ll talk over lunch.”
If Wanda and Yvette felt guilty about lying before, they were completely basked in the glory that their lie
had brought them now.
After all, no one knew what had happened that day.
During the afternoon tea the next day, Wanda spotted Lydia in the distance. All the ladies of leisure
wanted to meet her, given she was a daughter of the Quinnell family.
Wanda could hardly believe she had a chance to meet Lydia in person.
She was still reveling in the moment when her phone suddenly rang in her pocket.
