Chapter 87 Count Me Out
“Ms. Actonward here was making a fuss at the shopping mall. As a result, the store’s staff nearly kicked
Ms. Moore out. Oh, right. Ms. Actonward also demanded to have the shirt that Ms. Moore was about to
purchase…” Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
Rayson’s merciless confession caused Yvette to turn paler, like a thief caught red-handed.
She clenched her fists and frantically explained through downcast eyes, “That’s not true! They’re lying!
They’re trying to frame me…”
Jordan snorted coldly, “So they’re framing you now, huh? Then what about that last incident with the
dog? Did someone else frame you?”
Beads of nervous sweat formed on Yvette’s forehead. All she could manage was a simple squeak, “I…”
“Enough!” Jordan interrupted. His ears burned a tinge redder with rage. “I’ve told you once, never take
me for a fool. But this is the second time you’ve lied straight to my face! Since you refuse to call off our
engagement, I’ll have a word with my Mom tonight to jumpstart the process!”
Call off the engagement?
Yvette’s legs wobbled, causing her to take two steps back.
What respectable family will have me if the Bakers call off my engagement?
Absolutely not! I won’t allow it!
Yvette mustered up all her courage in one final attempt to save things. She dashed to Jordan, wrapping
her arms around his thigh as she cried out fat drops of tears. “No… please, Mr. Baker! I made a foolish
mistake. Please forgive me just this once! I swear I’ll never cause trouble again. Please don’t call off
our engagement…”
This incident had cut off any strand of patience or pity that Jordan felt for Yvette.
Jordan’s gaze shot over at the butler as he roared, “Well? Why aren’t you getting rid of this nuisance?”
The butler complied. He hurriedly called for two bodyguards, who pried Yvette off Jordan’s thigh and
dragged her out of the Jupiters’ estate.
Likewise, they removed Sharon from the estate. Vinson hadn’t even spared her a single glance, much
less fall in love with her. Not that she minded because she was now terrified of Vinson.
The two looked utterly miserable as they boarded their car and returned to the Actonwards’ residence.
Yvette remained dumfounded during their journey home.
I came here to gather the guys’ help in teaching Rayson as well as Arielle a lesson. However, this
wasn’t how I predicted things to end; not only did I fail to get Arielle in trouble, but Jordan also canceled
our marriage contract. What the hell am I going to do now?
“Aargghhhh!” Yvette wrapped her hands around her head and let out a skin-crawling scream, startling
both Sharon and the driver.
In the living room.
Arielle was left in a daze after Jordan had kicked Yvette out. Deep down, she wondered why he did so.
Still, she could not have been more delighted.
I don’t know what happened exactly, but I’ll befriend anyone who’s mean to my enemies!
Hence, Arielle beamed brightly at Jordan, “Thanks for saving me back then.”
If Jordan hadn’t been around, that dog would have mauled off my face.
Arielle’s eyes sparkled with adoration at Jordan. At that moment, he felt like the world was spinning
gleefully like a carousel.
He was about to speak, but Harvey butted in, “You know Ms. Moore?”
“Yeah.” Jordan happily met Harvey’s gaze and answered in a whispering voice, “She’s the goddess—
the one that I told you guys. I’m going to pursue her.”
Harvey’s face turned grim within seconds of hearing this.
So Jordan met Arielle half a month earlier than I did?
Annoyance washed over Harvey. Similarly, Vinson’s features had darkened to a raging shade of
maroon.
Vinson scowled inwardly. Why is she such a ball of sunshine to every person but not me?
What did I ever do to upset her?
Unable to tolerate this any longer, Vinson opened his mouth but was interrupted by his ringing phone.
The caller ID showed “Sam.”
Sam, the director? Why is he calling me?
Vinson answered the call with an annoyed tone, “Hello?”
Sam’s irritated voice thundered from the phone like a furious storm. “Mr. Nightshire, the woman that
you recommended won’t cut it as our movie’s main lead! I want her replaced at once! If you insist on
having her as the lead character, then you can count me out of directing this film!”
