Chapter 216 Following in My Brother’s Footsteps

Yvonne glanced sideways at Jeremy, her eyes filled with a mix of confusion and expectation.

Her brow slightly furrowed, and a probing smile played at the corner of her lips. “What?”

Jeremy’s gaze rested quietly on her, as if savoring her expression.

From the slight arch of her brows to the curious light in her eyes, he observed her intently.

His lips gradually curved into a gentle smile, his voice soft yet tinged with mystery. “Nothing.”

Yvonne felt his words were somewhat ambiguous. She couldn’t help but lean in slightly,

her eyes on Jeremy.

Though her actions were somewhat bold, she didn’t mind in this small world they inhabited.

The surrounding air seemed to freeze, with only their conversation flowing slowly.

“You’re not usually so vague,” she said, her voice low and resolute.

“This isn’t like you at all.” She tried to glean more from his expression and tone.

Jeremy’s gaze darkened slightly, his expression turning a bit serious, but he still maintained his calm smile.

His eyes slowly settled on Yvonne’s candid and unadomed face.

He noticed the genuine and straightforward honesty in her eyes, something that transcended ordinary.

conversation.

Her forthrightness made him feel an unusual sense of familiarity.

Yvonne’s sense of familiarity with Jeremy wasn’t without reason.

She remembered the subtle feeling of déjà vu when she first met him.

Now, his slightly mysterious response only piqued her curiosity further.

Her mind raced, trying to uncover the source of that familiar feeling.

Her thoughts surged like waves, constantly crashing against the shores of her memory.

Seeing her persistence, Jeremy sighed lightly, his gaze lingering on her face for a few seconds.

He seemed a bit hesitant but finally decided to speak.

His voice was deep and magnetic, each word carefully chosen. “Sol is your brother.”

This sudden revelation shocked Yvonne, her eyes widening slightly.

“Yes, Sol is my brother… You’re from Parsons School of Design, and so is my brother.”

Jeremy’s voice held a note of nostalgia, his expression softening as if recalling fond memories.

Yvonne’s eyes lit up with sudden realization.

A flicker of surprised recognition crossed her face, and the strange connection made her heart ripple with warmth.

“So, you’re…”

Jeremy nodded slightly. “Yes, I was Sol’s classmate. Actually, Sol helped me a lot during some of my toughest times.”

Chapter 216 Following as My Brother’s Footsteps

His words were filled with deep gratitude, making Yvonne feel a growing respect and curiosity toward this brother of her former classmate.

Yvonne had always thought Jeremy had made his way on his own, but she hadn’t expected such a connection with Sol.

Her voice carried a hint of emotion. “I didn’t know you had such a relationship.”

Jeremy’s gaze softened, as if he was reminiscing about the past.

He smiled gently. “Ye our brother Sol often helped me when I had nothing to eat.”

Yvonne nodded, her eyes reflecting deep understanding.

“My brother is indeed an amazing person. I’ve heard stories about him at school, but I didn’t realize you had such a close connection.”

“As for Mary’s situation, I won’t stand by idly.”

Jeremy’s voice held a firm resolve, as if proving his stance to Yvonne.

Yvonne was surprised by this; she hadn’t expected Jeremy to take such a position.

“Why didn’t you tell me earlier? Sigh…”

Jeremy chuckled lightly. “You have a strong personality. If I had told you from the start, you might have seen it as interference and refused to cooperate. This way, I felt more at ease.”

Yvonne awkwardly rubbed her nose, realizing she might have been too strong–willed. “I… I would have cooperated.”

Jeremy’s smile softened, his voice deep and gentle.

“Sometimes, you don’t need to worry too much about others‘ opinions or proving yourself.

Everyone has emotional inclinations.

If your proposal satisfies me and considering our relationship, I’ll naturally choose to work with you because I trust you.”

“Alright, Jeremy, I understand. I’ll do my best to be more professional and not worry whether others will help me.”

Yvonne spoke earnestly, moved by his sincerity. “No wonder you seemed familiar.”

“Really? When did I seem familiar to you?” Jeremy raised an eyebrow, his eyes filled with curiosity and anticipation.

Yvonne pondered for a moment, recalling the first time she met Jeremy.

“When you first came to Las Vegas, I thought you seemed familiar, like I had seen you somewhere before.”

Jeremy smiled slightly. “I did see you before, but you were very young then, innocent and carefree, very different from now. Back then, you were like a beautiful princess. And now… I replace you even more charming.”

Yvonne coughed lightly, feeling a bit embarrassed, but her smile grew brighter.

She felt a warmth and care that she hadn’t felt in a long time, her heart swelling with soft emotions.

Her eyes glistened with moisture, the deep emotion almost overwhelming her.

“Really? You think so highly of me!” Yvonne laughed softly, her tone filled with gratitude and surprise.

“Perhaps it’s because of your relationship with my brother, or maybe it’s our past encounter, but at this moment, my heart feels incredibly tender.”

Jeremy’s smile grew warmer, his eyes locking onto Yvonne as if trying to imprint every detail in his memory.

“I’m truly happy to see you so committed to your ideals, and I admire your perseverance and

achievements today.

Through all the trials, you’ve remained true to your father and brother’s expectations, never arrogant, never frivolous, always dignified and sincere.”

Yvonne’s eyes moistened slightly, her gratitude evident in her voice.

She took a deep breath, trying to calm the emotions surging within her.

Her hands gently held her cup, the warm aroma of tea rising, echoing her feelings.

Yvonne spoke slowly, each word filled with genuine gratitude.

He paused, seemingly choosing his words carefully.

responded, ”

Then he continued, “In the future, if you need anything, I’ll have your back, just like I did with your brother.” His gaze was serious and warm, a silent understanding and promise that needed no further explanation. It felt like it could pierce through the cold air, bringing a silent comfort.

Yvonne felt a rush of emotion, nodding in response.

“Alright, I’ll remember your words. And I’ll always remember the help you’ve given me.”

The information Jeremy had about Mary was incredibly important to her.
