Chapter 220 Push Yourself Further
Observing the departure of the two figures, George felt a deep sadness, his face growing more tense as time passed.
Sweetheart? The one who sent wine to Isabelle in Melfrey, talking about billions of dors and his deep connection with her, was actually Yves. Certainly, the arrival of the people from 791 Corps, under Yves''mand, in Norward City was undoubtedly tied to Isabelle as well.
Out of the blue, George remembered that Yves had a street alias, coincidentally named "No Name".
He surfaced even prior to the former leader of the ckwater, No Name.
Furthermore, he caught wind of gossip suggesting Yves and the former ckwater leader, alias Blood. Shadow, were intimate acquaintances.
What sort of connection does Yves share with Isabelle and the former leader of the ckwater?
It''s remarkable how George can maintain such clear-headed analysis amidst the current circumstances.
"Hehehe..." Dn''s teeth tasted so sour that they trembled beyond his control.
Watching George closely, he detected a palpable sourness emanating from his demeanour, as though he were teetering on the brink of losing hisposure entirely. Don''t you reckon a couple of needles might do you good? Holding it all in might make you
sick.
"Miss Jenkins''panions are truly remarkable. You should push yourself even further, Kaeli offered words of sce and encouragement.
In her younger years, Kaeli was a professional woman who often resided in Ivy Hollow. She was familiar with the illustrious Yves, so if he posed aspetition, he warranted serious consideration.. Kaeli found herself once more worrying about her nephew''s marital prospects.
Her remarks snapped George back to reality, and he gradually exhaled the pent-up tension from his chest, watching as the pair disappeared into the distance. He replied, "I understand."
Dn mopped the sweat from his brow, silently feeling grateful for the presence of George''s aunt. Otherwise, he feared George might have caused chaos at the airport. Kaelimented, "Your dad and the rest are eagerly awaiting my arrival at home. Shall we return there first?
George nced at his aunt and proposed, "The chefs at the house remain unchanged, offering nothing new. How about I take you to a different dining spot?" Dn was confused. Why suddenly?
Meanwhile, Isabelle tightened her grip on the steering wheel, her emotions bubbling over, as she

Yves, seated in the passenger seat. propped his head up with one hand, his attention fixed on Isabelle. Upon hearing her words, he didn''t hold back. Instead, he leaned in even closer. "Sweetheart, your radiantplexion is too captivating for me to ignore. I simply mustmit it to
memory."
Isabelle retorted sharply, "Enough."
Spotting the watch adorning her wrist, Yves couldn''t trust his vision and leaned in for a more thorough
examination.
He reached out with his slender fingers and tapped the watch, verifying that it was nothing more than a worthless item, far from being a dusty pearl.
Gazing up at Isabelle, he questioned, "Where did youe across this worthless item? Risking to wear it on your wrist? Aren''t you concerned about harming your delicate hand?" Isabelle was speechless.
Yves continued, "Sweetheart, I''m somewhat disheartened. You adorn yourself with this worthless watch, yet you seek a quality watch to gift to another man. Moreover, upon your return from the dead, the first person you didn''t seek out was me. Instead, you journeyed to Melfrey to rendezvous with ckwater''s associates, cautioning me about Dark Shadow''s surveince, which was rather inconvenient. However, shortly thereafter, you crossed paths with Jim. Does Jim hold more sway than I do?"
Isabelle appeared to have grown ustomed to Yves entanglement but
$ill found it a bit unbearable. With her eyelids not even flinching, she gritted her teeth and said, "I''m more concerned about whether you live or die, okay?"
Yves responded, "I knew it, Sweetheart. You care about me the most."
Isabelle inquired, "How long do you intend to stay?"This belongs to N?velDrama.Org: ?.
Yves replied, "It hinges on your requirements, Sweetheart."
Catching his mischievous smile out of the corner of her eye, Isabelle understood his delight in seeing her, prompting her to suppress the urge to roll her eyes.
She inquired, "Wasn''t Melfrey recently engulfed in turmoil? The escting internal conflicts within the Arctic Foxes have been quite conspicuous, and your 791 Corps have consistently been a source of contention among the other corporations. How is it that the situation has suddenly eased? And why are you appearing so nonchntly?"
Yves sneered, "It''s trivial. It boils down to dominance within the corporations. Anyone who dares to stir up trouble for me, I''ll address them head-on and ascertain who dares to act out of line." He spoke harshly, his demeanour nonchnt.
"Besides, just to see you, not only some scraps from the Arctic Fox, even if they are top personnel of the Arctic Fox, if I''m not happy, I''ll still take care of them."
He continued. "That b''stard Jim saw you before I did. Last time we met, he bragged to me for a good half hour.
"Sweetheart, what sort ofpanion is this new associate of yours?" Yves inquired about George.

Isabelle replied. "Time will tell."
Yves questioned, "And what if I were to express disapproval of him?"
Isabelle asked, "For what reason?"
Yves, feeling wounded, admitted, I''m jealous."
Isabelle, indifferent, responded with a nomittal “Hmm.
Yves asked. "Is that all?"
Isabelle warned, "Say one more word, and I''ll kick you.
Yvespsed into silence.
out."
Isabelle questioned, "Why the subtle arrival this time? No apanying group, no grand entrance. Have you changed your style?"
Yves is renowned for hisvish disys and extravagant way of life. Wherever he goes, his arrival is more opulent than a presidential visit.
