CHAPTER 273 JACQUELINE'S SISTER
"I haven't seen you in a while." Elliot rested his arm on Jacqueline's car window and flashed a radiant smile a t Yvonne.
He was a handsome man and he looked even more stunning with that winning smile.
If Yvonne had seen him like this in the past, she would definitely be mesmerized. However, any good impression she had of him was all gone. No matter how seductive his smile was, she basically felt nothing.
"Mr. Taylor, what do you want?" Yvonne asked expressionlessly.
Elliot frowned at her muted reaction. "Can't I just greet you? Don't you think destiny must have brought us together if we met just by coincidence in a traffic jam?"
He winked at her.
Yvonne rolled her eyes. "I wouldn't call it destiny. It's probably more of a curse. If you just wanted to greet m e, you've already done so. Can you leave now, Mr. This belongs to .
Taylor?"
Yvonne had already expressed her intention to end their conversation.
Elliot sighed intentionally, acting like he was disappointed, "You’re so cold. We are acquaintances after all. Ugh! What are you doing?”
Elliot was shocked as he watched his arm move upward very quickly. He swiftly withdrew his arm from her window.
Yvonne pulled her finger away from the car window button and retorted icily, "If you have nothing productive to say, you can keep your mouth shut. Eye!”
"How heartless." Elliot chuckled quietly as he held his temples.
Noticing that the car in front of hers was still not moving, Yvonne sighed inwardly, "Mr. Taylor, can you leave?”
"Don't worry, I will. But before I do so, I would like to have a word with you." Elliot crossed his arms and looked at her half-smiling.
Yvonne frowned, "What do you want to say?"
"Jacqueline's back," Elliot said.
The corner of Yvonne's mouth twitched. "I know.”
"Good. The second thing I want to tell you is that Jacqueline has an older sister. Do you know who she i s?" Elliot hid the glint in his eyes. 1
"Jacqueline has a sister?"
She knew that Dominic Conrad had a child with his first wife.
But wasn't that child gone?
Why would Jacqueline suddenly have a sister? Was that woman Dominic’s illegitimate daughter?
"That's right. Jacqueline has a sister. Shocking, isn’t i t?" Elliot's smile grew wider.
For some reason, that smile made her uncomfortable. She couldn't help feeling that there was some hidden agenda behind his smile.
"Yes, it's shocking news. But why are you telling me this?" Yvonne asked seemingly impassively.
Elliot rubbed his chin. "I thought there was bad blood between you and Jacqueline. Now that Dominic Conrad is in jail, Jacqueline is next-in-line. However, i f we find her older sister, they would have to share inheritance rights. If the sisters fight each other for the inheritance, you could take advantage of the situation."
"Thank you for your information, but I have zero interest." Yvonne rejected his suggestion with an icy expression.
Elliot furrowed his brows, and his expression became serious. "Why? Don't you want to get revenge against Jacqueline? Don't forget, you lost your baby because of her plans."
"How did you know that?" Yvonne narrowed her eyes, " I remember only telling you that Dominic Conrad was wholly responsible. I didn't say Jacqueline had anything to do with this."
Furthermore, she only found out that it was Jacqueline's idea at that charity event two days ago.
Naturally, Elliot noticed Yvonne’s suspicions. Unfazed, he smiled calmly at her, "It isn't hard for me to figure this out. I was busy the other day so I couldn’t attend that charity dinner. I personally visited Mr. and Mrs. Carter with a gift as an apology. The elderly couple told me what happened."
"I see." Yvonne pursed her lips and withdrew her suspicion.
When Elliot saw her expression, he knew he had convinced her. The corner of his lips revealed a hint of victory, albeit fleeting. "So, regarding my suggestion..."
"I refuse.” Yvonne interrupted.
Elliot was genuinely puzzled this time around. "A great opportunity is right in front of you, yet you're rejecting it? What are you thinking?”
"Firstly!" Yvonne stuck one finger up. "I am not interested in looking for Jacqueline’s sister. Even if she's found, what will happen if the sisters have a strong bond?"
"That's impossible because both of them hate each other. This enmity started with their mothers and continued on with both women. The funny thing is that they fell out because of a man. Just like their mothers." Elliot made no effort to hide his mockery.
Even though Yvonne was surprised to hear the
Conrads’ family secret from Elliot, she wasn't curious about it. Naturally, she didn’t change her stance toward his suggestion.
"Anyway, I refuse. I’ve already told you my first reason. Secondly..." She looked at him coldly. "Why are you trying to convince me to look for Jacqueline's sister and getting revenge? What's your agenda?"
Elliot stroked his chin. "If I say I don't have any agenda, that I just want to point out a shortcut for you, and want you to get your revenge, will you believe m e?"
Yvonne shook her head.
"There is nothing I can do if you don't believe me. However, it is in your best interest to listen to me and look for Jacqueline’s sister. You might even find a delightful surprise at the end," he advised.
Yvonne was still expressionless.
Elliot sighed, "You're stubborn."
"Are you done? If you are, please leave." Yvonne closed her eyes and decided to just ignore him.
Seeing this, Elliot knew that he should leave.
He turned around and was just about to walk to his car when his mobile phone rang.
At the same time, the ringing noise from his mobile phone drew Yvonne's attention. She opened her eyes and looked at him. At that precise moment, she coincidentally caught him raising his head slightly to answer his call.
Yvonne suddenly narrowed her eyes at what she saw.
She rolled her car window all the way down. After that, she stared hard at a spot on his neck.
There was a skin-colored plaster on his neck and it seemed like he was using it to hide something.
When she saw that plaster, she took her hand away from her door. Her pupils quivered to and fro from the excitement.
She finally remembered who had that red birthmark o n his neck. It was Elliot!
On her birthday, Elliot prepared a cake for her. When h e lit the candles for her, he lowered his head and she noticed his birthmark.
At that time, she just found the birthmark on his neck unusual. Furthermore, it was red. However, she didn't ask him about it then. After all, that was his business s o she didn't think too much about it. She also quickly forgot about it.
But, she finally remembered!
Yvonne’s heart raced as she eyed Elliot intensely.
Obviously, Elliot noticed this. He turned to look at her and was taken aback by her intense gaze.
'What’s wrong with her?'
The way she looked at him made him feel very uncomfortable.
It was too sudden. Just a second ago, she was looking at him deadpan and suddenly she had this zealous gaze. He couldn’t wrap his head around what had happened.
After he ended his call, Elliot put his phone away.
"Yvonne, the way you're looking at me now... Have you finally realized that I'm more handsome than your husband?" he quipped quite intentionally.
Yvonne's expression became overcast. "Mr. Taylor, please be a little more serious. I want to ask you a question."
"Go ahead,” Elliot agreed and leaned on her car.
Yvonne took a deep breath, managing her excitement before she asked, "What happened here? Did you hurt yourself?
