Yolanda bowed her head in a display of pitiable resignation, yet a fleeting glimmer of smugness danced in her eyes. She speculated, Tm sure Jonathan wouldn’t bail on me now. As she sat awaiting an explanation from the Frost family with complacent assurance, she was jolted by Jonathan’s declaration. I’m not marrying you. So, tell me, how much money do you need?”
Yolanda lifted her tear–filled gaze and uttered in astonishment. “What do you mean??
“Would a million dollars cut it? Jonathan scratched his head irritably.
Yolanda retorted sharply, “Do you really value girls virtue so little?”
Jonathan remained silent for a moment, then raised a finger. 30 million dollars.” Yolanda’s heart skipped a beat. For the Wilde family, this sum was a timely Lifeline. Yet, accepting the money would sabotage her plans. She stole a glance at Liam, contemplating quietly, My intention today is to pave the way for a future relationship with this man. I can’t just accept the money and walk away!
Just as she was on the verge of declining, Liam spoke in a resonant tone. “Think about it. This funding could be the lifeline Wilde Group needs to overcome its challenges And. He paused, casting a glance at Cynthia as if seeking her approval. When Cynthia nodded, he added, “Sullivan Group will cease its suppression of Wilde Group. With this funding, you could totally turn things around.” Liam’s gaze bure down with intensity as he mused. This woman is too cunning. I won’t let another friend of mine fall into her trap again.
Yolanda was torn, pondering the situation. If Wilde Group does bounce back as Liam says, I might regain my social status. But then, I’d still be miles away from getting close to 1am. Even though this is my family we’re talking about, we still have my brother. Even if I ditched my plans for them today, I wouldn’t gain anything in the end. I won’t sacrifice my happiness for others With that in mind.
Yolanda made her decision. She lifted her head determinedly, gazing at Liam briefly before turning to Jonathan. “A woman’s virtue is everything. You took that from me, trying to shirk your responsibility! Sure, money might revive my family, but it can’t undo what’s been done.
and now you’re
Jonathan shot Yolanda a disgusted look. Then wat exactly do you want?” NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.
Hearing this, Yolanda lowered her head in thought. “Since I gave you my virginity, I want a committed relationship. But we’re not feeling it for each other yet. Let’s try being boyfriend and girlfriend and see where it leads, If it doesn’t click. I’m out. As for how long it takes, I have the final say,” Yolanda’s words sounded reasonable, casing the tension.
Jonathan agreed without much consideration, “Sure” Knowing he wouldn’t develop feelings for Yolanda, he was confident she would soon exit his Life
Cynthia frowned, her intuition selling her that Yolanda wasn’t entirely gemine. She thought, Yolanda is too manipulative and self–centered. She knows Jonathan isn’t into her but still insists on a relationship. She leaned over to Liam and whispered, “Why do I have a bad feeling about this?” “Let’s hold off and watch. She doesn’t even seem to care about her own family anymore. She must have something up her sleeve, Liam murmured. Cynthia glanced up at Liam’s handsome face. “Is she still not giving up on your So, she’s trying to get close to you through Jonathant Otherwise, how could she stir up so much trouble and then brush it off so easily?”
Hearing this, Liam rubbed Cynthia’s head reassuringly. “Don’t worry. She doesn’t and a chance. Yolanda watched their affectionate exchange, seething with jealousy. She vowed to herself, Someday. Liam’s affection will be mine alone. She didn’t cause a scene today because she was planning to approach Liam later. After a brief conversation, silence settled in the room. Just then, a man appeared at the door, trembling with a
Cane
Witnessing this, Cynthia quickly intercepted him, expressing concern. “Mr. Frost, why didn’t you go to the hospital??
Thomas gazed at Cynthia imperiously. “Cynthia, move aside”
At this moment, Jonathan and Yolanda were still haphazardly dressed. Cynthia thought, Mr. Frost can’t handle any getting riled up. I can’t let him catch a glimpse of this. With this in mind, Cynthia stood her ground. “Mr. Frost you need to go to the hospital first. I fill you in on what’s going
on later.”
Thomas tapped his crutch on the ground twice, and Paul rushed to assist him, Spotting Paul Thomas struck his shoulder with the cane, causing the former’s face to conton in pain. “What the heck is Jonathan up to in there?” As Thomas tapped his cane, Liam worried Cynthia might get hurt accidentally and swiftly pulled her aside. With no one blocking the way, Thomas went straight in.
Seconds later, taking in the disheveled clothes and rumpled sheets, Thomas grasped the situation instantly. He knocked Jonathan’s waist with his crutch, panting angrily. “Is this what I taught you since childhood! Thankfully, Arvin informed me, or 1 wouldn’t have known. I’ve always told you not to mess around with men and women. There should be accountability, But look at what you’ve done. She’s your friend’s girlfriend. Thomas seethed, delivering another blow with the crutch, sending Jonathan crashing onto the bed in agony. Thomas clenched his chest as he continued, Ive given up hope on your dad. Are you going to disappoint me as well? His face drained of color, looking like he might collapse at any moment.
Cynthia felt a wave of concern. The first aid she administered to Thomas could be risky, and he needed to go to the hospital immediately to find out the cause within an hour. He couldn’t afford to
get agitated, or it would complicate the doctor’s efforts to treat him. She had assumed Thomas would already be in the hospital by now, but his unexpected appearance here puzzled her.
At this moment, Jasmine and David rushed over. “Cynthia, we couldn’t hold him back. We were on our way to the ambulance, but we bumped into

Arvin. I don’t know what he said to Thomas, but he bolted out of the ambulance and hurried to the elevator after Arvin talked to him. We couldn’t catch up.”
Cynthia’s expression darkened at their words. She thought, Arvin’s a doctor too. How could he not know that Mr. Frost’s condition can’t handle agination? Why would he risk Mr. Frost’s life just to help Yolanda” Seeing Thomas‘ condition deteriorating, Cynthia wanted to calm him down. But before she could act. Thomas collapsed to the floor, his crutch clattering on the ground.
