“He’s ying you, ricka. You’re dancing in his palm. You’ll never get your hands on the ck–White Rabbit rights. Not in this lifetime.”

    ricka found she could remain unmoved by most of rissa’s nder.

    But the matter of the ck–White Rabbit game rights–that she took very seriously.

    She went back to the Argent family specifically about the game rights

    issue.

    If Kieran really didn’t n to sell her the game rights as rissa imed, rieka would be furious.

    Thoughts raced through rieka’s mind in seconds. While she was still pondering, Yao beside her abruptly stood up.

    “What bullshit are you spouting?”

    rieka froze.

    Suddenly, Yao’s hand shot out, grabbing her wrist and yanking her into his arms. His arm locked firmly around her waist.

    Before ricka could react, Yao’s voice snapped sharply in her ear.

    “Stop ndering my wife here.”

    rieka stiffened instantly.

    Whose wife?

    rissa’s voice rose sharply: “What did you say?

    Who are you?

    ricka is your wife?”

    ricka felt the arm around her waist tighten, her face nearly buried in Yao’s chest.

    Yao’s tone was rigid, his voice icy: “Can’t you see?

    She already has me. Why would she fall for other men? I’m young and fit–she’d have to be blind to choose some old guy over me.”

    rissa frowned: “Old guy? Who are you talking about?”

    Yao sneered: “Whoever you think fits the bill. My advice? Don’t treat old men like treasures. I’m twenty–four–great shape, handsome, full of stamina. What old guy canpete?”

    rissa couldn’t tolerate anyone insulting her dear brother like this. She red up immediately: “Who do you think you are? How dare you bark like a dog?”

    Yao shot back: “I don’t bark. That’s your specialty–and you sound awful doing it.”

    After a stunned pause, rieka realized Yao was calling the other woman a dog. She nearly burst outughing.

    Yes–this was the Yao she knew. Never backing down, especially satisfying when he had the upper hand.

    Seeing Yao puff up ready to trade more insults with rissa, she quickly soothed him.

    “Alright, alright, don’t get angry. Someone as handsome as you shouldn’t frown–wrinkles, you know?” ricka suppressed augh. “Come on, young stud, ignore the dog. Okay?”

    Yao beamed, pulling her close: “Fine. Whatever my wife says.”

    Hearing the term, ricka’s cheek twitched.

    Their “loved–up disy” made rissa and Holter Argent before them seethe.

    “rieka!”

    rieka answered sweetly: “Yes? Are you taking it personally, Ms. Argent?”

    rissa looked apoplectic.

    rieka understood why. rissa despised her, couldn’t stand seeing her happy in love. To rissa, she was just Kieran’s pathetic simp.

    Now that simp hadnded a super handsome guy? The injustice burned rissa–pure jealousy.

    Add Yao defending her, and rissa’sposure shatteredpletely.

    rieka softened her tone: “rissa, don’t be like this. My boyfriend’s a bit fiery–don’t mind him. Your brother’s generous–he won’t hold a grudge either.”

    rissa sneered: “You’re no good! My brother treated you so well all those years, and now you just stand there watching this man insulting and humiliating him. He was right not to like you!”

    “ricka, you don’t deserve my brother’s affection!”

    So You Really Don’t Want to Sell It to Me?

    ricka almostughed out loud.

    Good to her?

    Kieran was good to her?

    How exactly?

    Was it good when he covered for Roschelle despite knowing she drugged ricka?

    Or good when he stood by Roschelle’s side watching her reputation get destroyed by online attacks, all while knowing the truth?

    Or good in her past life when he kicked her out of the Argent’s vi at eight months pregnant, then ordered every business in town not to hire her, forcing her to give birth in destitution?
