Chapter 149
Chapter 149 I didnt answer .
If this wasnt handled well , it could have even bigger consequences .
Marlon still hadnt contacted me , so I was guessing things werent going well for him either .
Turning back was definitely not an option now .
In the silence , I noticed Zachary walking out of the hall ..
He was wearing a shirt and yawning , looking like he had slept well .
In a flash of inspiration , I came up with a plan .
I said , Yasir , please cover me for a bit , Ill be back soon ! With that , I hurried towards Zachary .
Behind me , I could hear Yasirs surprised voice , Where are you going ? How long do I have to cover you ? I cant take a beating ! I ignored him because every second counted at that moment .
I rushed to Zachary in one breath , startling him .
Whats going on ? You … are you looking for me ? Zacharys eyes widened in surprise .
I had been avoiding him lately .
I knew he wanted that 2 % stake in Parker Group , but I didnt want to give it to him .
But now , I had no choice .
Zachary , do you still want the Parker Groups shares ? I asked directly .
Zachary looked at me in shock , Yes , of course I do ! Well then , do me a favor .
I lowered my voice and told him about the next arrangement .
I was concentrating on solving this problem at the moment , and I didnt notice Hayden and Nevin happening to see this scene upstairs .
Hayden , look at her ! She dares to do this to another man in broad daylight ! Nevin seemed to have seized on something and quickly complained to Hayden .
Haydens face had already darkened , and he looked at Yvonne coldly .
Nevin , mind your words .
His tone was cold and murderous , which made Nevins throat tighten .
He glanced at him with some guilt , but didnt dare to look directly at him , and quickly lowered his eyelids again .
The more he thought about it , the angrier he became .
He couldnt help but mutter , I dont understand .
Why do you always favor her ? Hayden , what did she do to you ? Hayden wanted to ask himself this question too .
As if under a spell , his eyes always fell on Yvonne uncontrollably .
At this moment , seeing her being so close to Zachary , the jealousy leaping in his heart almost ignited him .
Even though he was so angry , he was still unwilling to hurt her in the slightest .
1:03 PM Chapter 149 The conflicting emotions disturbed his composure , and his jawline gradually tightened .
He thought .
Yvonne , what exactly are you trying to do ? Having just finished discussing the arrangements with Zachary , I didnt have time to pay attention to anyone else .
I said .
Do as I say , and Ill sell you my shares in Parker Group Really ? Zachary looked at me suspiciously .
You lied to me last time .
Maybe it was my imagination , but I could hear a hint of grievance and hurt in his voice .
He was so sensitive .
It didnt match his tall and imposing physique at all .
But thinking about it carefully .
I did deceive him .
Coughing awkwardly , I patted my chest and promised , Its true this time .
Trust me ! Zachary narrowed his eyes , and said slowly .
Think carefully .
If you really sell your shares to me , the Parker family will hate you .
Of course I know .
I met his questioning gaze calmly .
In the past , they might not have liked me , but if I sold Parker Groups shares , I would become their enemy .
Especially Hayden , he probably wouldnt let me off the hook for the rest of his life .
But those things didnt matter to me anymore .
Dealing with the matter at hand was the top priority .
Zachary stroked his mustache and thought for a few minutes , but he didnt come up with anything .
Seeing Lucy and Sophia about to pull each others hair , I gritted my teeth and urged , Take it or leave it ! Youre not the only one whos after Parker Groups shares ! After speaking .
I turned and left with a solute attitude .
After just one step , Zachary spoke .
Okay , Ill help you ! Whats the hurry ? He shouted as he walked around in front of me , smiling a little wickedly .
Why are you in such a hurry ? Of course , the shares of Parker Group belong to me .
Dont worry , Ill take care of Sophia ! He waved at me and walked in Sophias direction .
I frowned as I watched him walk away , It was hard to imagine that the manipulative man in the company and the seemingly careless man in front of me were actually the same person .
I wondered if he had multiple personalities .
Unable to figure it out , I quickly followed .
By this time , Sophia was so angry at Lucy that her fingers were trembling as she pointed at Lucy , I know you are Yvonnes best friend , and you must be speaking for her .
Does no one care about the rights and interests of us ? Do you think you can just do whatever you want on this ship ? A person asked , Yeah , where is Mrs.
Parker ? Why is she gone all of a sudden ? Another person asked , Could it be that she fled because of guilt ? I felt terrible when I heard the last sentence as I came over .
1:03 PM D Chapter 149 These peoples mouths really worked wonders .
I was only gone for a few minutes and they were already calling it fleeing the scene .
The point was that nothing had been confirmed yet .
I felt that it was a good thing I brought Zachary over .
He cut off their discussion before Lucy could speak , What are you all doing gathered here ? Mr.
Swanson ? Dont tell me youve lost something too ? someone shouted from the crowd .
Zacharys face darkened , What do you mean ? Who would dare to commit a crime on Parker Groups cruise ? A person answered , Well … Mrs .
Jackson said she lost her necklace ! Another person said , Yeah , weve been looking for it all morning and havent found it ! Someone else said , Mrs.
Jackson , tell him ! Sophia said with considerable pride , Yes , my necklace was stolen ! Madam , I took your necklace , Zachary said leisurely .
What ? You took it ? Thats absolutely impossible ! Sophia flatly denied the possibility .
She knew that she didnt have a necklace at all , so there was no way Zachary would have it .
The people around were stunned when they heard this .
They had always thought that there was a real thief on the cruise ship , but they didnt expect the thief to present himself .
Besides , with Zacharys status , he wouldnt do such a petty theft .
Zachary , however , insisted in the midst of everyones doubts , I took it .
Joanna asked me to take it because she wanted to match it with her clothes .
I was going to tell you , but I forgot all about it .
As soon as he finished explaining , the entire deck fell silent .
If it had been anyone else , few would have believed it .
Since Zachary just had a nude photo scandal with Joanna a while ago and later admitted that they were dating , people believed that he was a part of Sophias family now .
This way , way , it was not even considered as stealing-
