"Is that so? Well, I wish you safe travels," Felix responded.noveldrama

Yvonne tried to hide her disappointment behind a smile. She asked, "I wasn't going to mention this, but... why didn't you maximize the benefit of having a Miracle Card?" She had spent enough time around Felix to know he was not foolish, and her curiosity about his choices was natural.

Felix chuckled. "You were also at the Golden Prime Auction? I did maximize my benefit.

Moon's Tear was exactly what I needed most."

Realizing further discussion was pointless, Yvonne turned to leave. "Good luck with everything. Bye, Felix."

As she turned to leave, Felix suddenly stood up. He wanted to say something, but the words would not come out. For some reason, Yvonne was walking really slowly too. Just as she reached the threshold, Felix asked, "Can you stay?"

Yvonne froze on the spot, tears streaming down her face. She did not dare turn back, fearing she would give in and stay for good. While she did not care what would happen to her, she knew she would only drag Felix into her mess. Nala's wrath was not something anyone could endure. Ever since crossing paths with her, Yvonne's fate had been sealed. Her choices were no longer her own.

She stepped out of the courtyard with a heavy heart and joked weakly, "Stay? Are you going to make me your woman and take care of me forever?"

Felix stood there, silent for a long time. He would be lying if he said he had no feelings for

Yvonne.

After all, they had shared something intimate, and he genuinely thought she was a good person. Moreover, she had shown genuine concern for him more than once. Sadly, everyone had their own burdens to bear.

Yvonne had come into his life with a purpose, which meant she might never be free to choose her own path. Still, Felix decided that if Curtis agreed to dissolve the engagement, he would find Yvonne. It was his responsibility as a man to step-up.

The next morning, Felix was enjoying the fresh air in the courtyard when Harold walked in, making himself at home. He commented, "Nice place, Felix. It's better than that villa of yours. How about letting me enjoy it too?"

Felix looked at him and asked in a serious tone "Harold, have you thought about your future?"

Harold laughed. "My future? Of course. At my age, I'm already a big deal in Avesburgh's underground scene. Isn't it obvious how limitless my potential is?"

Felix shook his head and looked up at the sky. "Here's something you should know. Aunt Yvette means little to me, but I have to care for certain reasons. You, on the other hand, mean absolutely nothing. As long as Aunt Yvette is alive and can continue living, that's enough for me."

Harold understood the meaning behind his words. Yet, he was unfazed and retorted,

head, You're nothing but a big talker! You don't even have the guts to touch a hair on my Felix."

Just then, Felix's phone chimed with a text from an unknown source-not just a regular phone number. Itread, "Felix, Yvette has been found, safe and sound. I'll protect her for three days. That should be enough time for you to clean up your mess, right?" Chapter 275
