Chapter 206


    Chuck Cannon, who was listening to the conversation in the room next to Yvette''s was shocked to


    hear her firm deration. However, the shock quickly turned into distress. How could he fail to


    expect this situation? After all, Yvette Jordan had managed to be a college professor. In


    addition, her grades were always top-notch, be it in elementary school or in university. In other


    words, she could easily decipher the situation and guess that Wilbur Wendel wasn''t the baller!


    Maybe she had already found out when she met Wilburst time.


    Chuck sighed. He had underestimated his wife''s intelligence!


    What should he do now?


    He thought hard about how to resolve the situation. He knew that Yvette would definitely continue to


    find out who the ''baller'' was.


    However, he cleared his head and continued to listen to their conversation.


    "Really? You haven''t seen me before yet you''re so sure to reject the possibility that I am the ''baller''.


    I have feelings too, you know." Wilbur sighed and pretended to stand up, as though he was going to


    leave.


    "But you''re really not the ''baller''." Yvette shook her head. She was 100% sure that he was not the


    one.


    But... she was confused. There was no need for the ''baller'' to lie to her. At the same time, he looked


    pretty sad and sincere. Could she really be mistaken?


    Wilbur saw an opening and quickly pretended to be disappointed, "I knew it, you must''ve thought


    that I would look handsome and charming like those idols you see all the time right? Now that


    you''ve seen me in person, you realized that I''m not who you thought I was, so you''re disappointed


    and therefore you refuse to acknowledge my existence."


    Chuck shed him a thumbs-up. Wilbur often flirted with girls so he could tell lies readily.


    Yvette shook her head and tried to exin, "It''s not like that." She wasn''t a flirt and wouldn''t be


    easily tricked by handsome men. It was just a gut feeling she had. She then said, "I remember


    asking you about it when I met youst time. However, the feeling you gave me told me that you


    aren''t the ''baller'' who has been helping me all this time."


    Wilbur chuckled, "Are you trying to say that I concealed it too well?"


    This belongs to N?velDrama.Org: ?.


    "No, it''s..."


    Wilbur continued to ask, "I wasn''t nning on revealing myself at that time, so of course I masked


    my expressions. Just think about it carefully, if I weren''t the ''baller'', how would yourpany be


    able to open a business here? Or renew your contract sessfully? Do you think anyone else


    could''ve helped you with all this?"


    His words reminded Yvette of all these. It was true since he was the boss of the za, it probably


    just took one word for him to help her renew herpany''s contract. Was he.... really the ''baller''?


    Yvette suppressed her thoughts and looked at him warily. She sat down cautiously and asked once


    again, "Are you really the ''baller''?"


    Wilbur shrugged, "Do you still not believe me? The first time I saved you was when you got drunk


    with the two other bosses in that hotel......"


    Yvette was embarrassed at the mention of this. He must be the ''baller'' then since he was able to


    speak about these matters so casually. However, why didn''t she feel a tinge of gratitude towards


    him? Maybe... it was because they were meeting for the first time, so it felt different from chatting


    with him on Wechat.


    At this point, Yvette was convinced. After all, he did point out an important issue. Who else could it


    be apart from him?


    It would be best if she stopped dilly-dallying. He must be the ''baller'' who had helped her all this


    time!


    Yvette said apologetically, "Sorry for all the nonsense I had said just now."


    Wilbur smiled back warmly at her, "It''s fine, don''t worry."


    Chuck was relieved. Wilbur was pretty capable to be able to convince Yvette with just a few words.


    However, Chuck felt slightly ufortable since he was the real ''baller'', not Wilbur. Chuck sighed


    and was slightly annoyed at himself. Why did he ever think of making Wilbur stand in for him?


    He wondered what Yvette''s reaction would be once she realized that she was wrong and that Chuck


    was the real ''baller'' and not Wilbur.


    "Let''s order something." Yvette called the waiter over. The two ordered some food and Wilbur


    started chatting to her casually. Yvette was able to talk to him freely since she trusted Wilbur and


    treated him as a friend. She was bound to start revealing some of her worries.


    Yvette sighed, "Thepany''s business has been slightly better recently."


    It was true. The two big bosses whom she had picked up the other day at the airport had sent their


    employees over for training in herpany.


    Wilbur started to draw her into his trap, "In that case, your business should be doing great! How''s


    the profit this month?"


    "There is profit, but it can''t be used. The thing is..." Yvette sighed. She remembered how she had to


    pay nearly 500,000 dors for the ne in Central City. She was forced to turn to loan sharks to


    borrow money.


    "Why? Don''t worry, just tell me. We''re friends, aren''t we?" Wilbur was also curious.


    Yvette was hesitant whether she should tell him. After all, there was no way she could tell Chuck


    about what happened in Central City.


    Yvette stammered, "Well, I went to Central City and rented a ne. But I broke it. That itself cost


    me nearly 500,000 dors." She was prettyposed but she still felt a little remorseful. It would be


    great if Chuck was the one sitting opposite to her!


    Chuck was especially surprised. She had never told him this before! He sighed, perhaps this was


    the reason she was forced to turn to usurers to borrow money.


    If she had told him about this in the first ce, Chuck would''ve helped her then and there.


    Wilbur was confused and asked, "Why didn''t you tell your husband about this?"


    "I''m five years older than my husband. He''s young, handsome, and... very kind to me. How could I


    tell him about this? I''m afraid that I''ll be inconveniencing him and he''ll hate me for it..." Yvette shook


    her head with a bitter smile. It was best if Chuck was kept in the dark about this.


    She had already told him yesterday that she had borrowed a loan. There was no way she could let


    him know about all this.


    Otherwise, Chuck would definitely think that she was materialistic and grew to hate her. It would


    definitely end with them separating, and Yvette didn''t want that to happen. She was already used to


    Chuck by her side. If one day he wasn''t there, how would she get used to the emptiness beside


    her? How would she ever be able to move on with life?


    Wilbur was secretly envious. Who could ever bring themselves to hate such a beautiful and loving


    wife?


    Chuck finally heard Yvette''s deepest insecurities. He barely managed to hold himself back from


    barging into the room and assuring her. How could he ever hate her because of such a trivial issue?


    But if he rushed in now, Yvette would definitely feel guilty and wouldn''t be able to face him properly!


    "What happened then? How did you manage to put together the 500,000 dors?" Wilbur asked.


    Chuck had told him all the details.


    Yvette mumbled, feeling slightly rxed after revealing what had been weighing on her mind all this


    time, "I... I got a loan and borrowed 700,000 dors."


    Only seven hundred thousand dors? It was just as Chuck had expected. Yvette didn''t really spend


    a lot, so 700,000 dors was quite sufficient.


    Wilbur continued asking her, "700,000 dors? Why didn''t you ask me for it?"


    Yvette didn''t know what to say. She couldn''t tell him that she went to borrow a loan because she


    wanted to return him the money, could she? If she did, he definitely would not be willing to ept


    the 500,000 dors she had transferred to him.


    "I can handle it myself." She refused to say anything else. She couldn''t possibly tell him that she


    had been duped by the loansharks as well, could she? She insisted, "Please ept the 500,000


    dors first!"


    Wilbur told her the exact same thing Chuck had asked him to say just now, "Just take it. You need it


    more than me now."


    Yvette said earnestly, "No, the money is yours, so please just ept it. I''m really thankful to you for


    helping me so much!"


    Yvette was truly grateful to the ''baller''. If it weren''t for him, she would have been raped by those two


    men that day in the hotel... If that was the case, she would not be able to face Chuck at all.


    She had been Chuck''s wife ever since she was a child. However, what would Chuck think if she lost


    her virginity? Yvette was still afraid now that she thought about it.


    They ate silently for the rest of the meeting. Yvette did not say much and left for work after she


    finished eating. Chuck took this chance toe over. Wilbur smiled at him and said, "You are very


    lucky to find such a wife."


    Chuck also felt that he was very lucky to have grown up with Yvette and to have the chance to


    make her his wife.


    "What are you going to do now?" Wilbur asked curiously.


    What could he do? He could only transfer seven hundred thousand dors to Yvette and ask her to


    return the money to the loansharks first..


    Only then would she be able to continue with her business peacefully.


    Chuck decided to transfer 700 thousand dors to Yvetteter that day. Since Ynda Lane had


    enough money, he didn''t have to ask his mother for it.


    Wilbur said, "Alright. Anyway, since she believes that I''m the ''baller'', just give me a call if you want


    me to continue pretending..."


    Chuck nodded. After all, he most probably needed his help to stand in for him for a few more times.


    Wilbur chuckled, "Chuck, since I''m free this afternoon, I''ll take you to a good ce. I''m sure you''ll


    like it..."


    Chuck, of course, understood the meaning behind his smirk. He was about to refuse him when the


    door to the room was suddenly opened, followed by a surprised voice that said, "Hubby, why are


    you here?"


    What? Wasn''t Yvette going back herpany? Why did shee back?
