Goodbye Cheater Hello CEO’s Wife by Payne Walter
CHAPTER 70

Chapter 70

Jennie and Winona drank coffee and ate pastries, chatting about their children and husbands delightfully.

Winona and Yvonne spent the day at the mansion and only bid farewell to leave when the evening came.

On the way back, Yvonne asked Winona, “Mom, did you tell Mrs. Murray about Isabella?”

Winona nodded and patted Yvonne’s hand. “Don’t worry. We gotta proceed with the m p by step. If Jennie wants to control Clayton, the best way is to replace him a wife who can side with her. No matter how things progress with Isabella, we can slander her in front of Jennie first. If Isabella wants to join the Murray family, we’ll cut off her plan.”

Yvonne was delighted. “Will Clayton listen to Mrs. Murray?”

Winona chuckled. “In such a big family, no one can decide the marriage by themselves. Clayton will surely marry someone designated by the elders. Therefore, you must get along well with Jennie.”

Yvonne replied happily, “Count on me.”

However, she then stopped smiling. “But I can’t be on Mrs. Murray’s side. I gotta side with Clayton, of course.”

Winona poked Yvonne’s forehead. “Are you stupid? Once you’re married to Clayton, you can decide who to side with yourself. Just side with whichever side has the greatest interest. Do you even need me to teach you that?”

Yvonne laughed and threw herself onto Winona. “I get it, Mom. How could you possibly have a stupid daughter if you’re smart?”

Winona glared at Yvonne reproachfully. “We’ll let your father meet Mr. Murray next week. After they get to know each other, we can replace a suitable project for cooperation so that our family’s relationship with the Murray family will get stronger. We’re lucky that Clayton is not in the country now. We’ll have more assurance once we prepare the things well before he could even know about it.”

Yvonne nodded sincerely, realizing that Clayton was not in the country, which meant that Isabella was not together with him.

According to Mandy and Queenie, Clayton was nice to them. If Clayton came back, he would have to go home. However, as Winona said, Yvonne didn’t need to see Clayton in a hurry for the time being and should focus on making a good relationship with his family first.

Moreover, and most importantly, nobody in the Murray family, knew about Isabella. Hence, Yvonne suspected that Clayton might not have a relationship with Isabella at all, and Clayton might have given an empty promise to Isabella at most..

Yvonne felt like she was surrounded by the anticipation of happiness.

It was already ten o’clock, but Zachary hadn’t returned yet. When Scarlett was about to rest, she received a call from Fiona.

With a frown, Scarlett thought, ‘I had told them not to call me other than texting if they need anything.

She didn’t want to answer their phone calls in front of Zachary because they would only call for money.

“Hello?” Nevertheless, Scarlett picked it up anyway.

“Scarlett! Felix has been arrested!” Fiona’s anxious voice was heard.

“Arrested? What did he do?” Scarlett felt overwhelmed with anger.

“I heard he fought in the bar. Do something to save him!” said Fiona.

“No! It’s better to lock him up,” Scarlett replied coldly.

Fiona uttered, “Scarlett! You can’t do this! What if Zachary and his family replace out? You have to bail Felix out quickly.”

Scarlett put down her phone and thought, ‘Mom’s right. I have to bail Felix out. But I can’t let Zachary know about it. Who else can I seek for help?‘

When Yvonne was thinking about her sweet future with Clayton, her phone rang, interrupting her thoughts.

She answered it angrily, “Hello?”

“Yvonne, do me a favor.” Scarlett went straight to the point.

“A favor? Who do you think you are? I told you to leave Zachary, but why didn’t you do so? How dare you ask me for help.” Yvonne turned mad when she heard Scarlett’s voice.

“Yvonne, even if I leave Zachary, are you willing to let Isabella marry into the Winslow family? Are you willing to see her live a good life? You should think about a way to get Clayton instead of returning Zachary to Isabella. You don’t want Isabella to live a good life, do you?” Scarlett said sharply.

Yvonne was stunned. Indeed, she didn’t want Isabella to be with Clayton or Zachary. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have tried every means to destroy their relationship.

“What can I help you with?” Yvonne said coldly.

“Go to the police station and bail my brother. He was arrested for fighting in a bar,” said Scarlett.

“What obligation do I have to help you? Why should I help? What’s in it for me to do that?” Yvonne questioned contemptuously.

Scarlett took a deep breath. “Remember our conversation about you asking me to record that video?”

Yvonne was taken aback.

“If you don’t remember, I can send you a part of the recording. I had recorded the conversation. If you refuse to help me, tell me, what will

happen if I send it to Mr. Winslow and Mr. Ingram?” said Scarlett indifferently.

“Y–You dare to threaten me?” Yvonne said angrily.

Scarlett replied, “Yvonne, we’re friends. If you help me, I won’t be threatening you like this. I don’t want us to face a lose–lose situation either.

So if you help me, we can be at peace. You go and steal the man you like. Zachary has me here, and Isabella won’t come back. There are still

many opportunities for our cooperation-”

“Whatever, stop talking nonsense. Send me the address,” Yvonne interrupted her coldly.

Scarlett ended the call satisfyingly, thinking that Yvonne was still too naive to take advantage of her.

Yvonne got so angry that she threw her phone on the floor, scolding inwardly, ‘Bitch! How dare she threaten me!‘

She didn’t expect Scarlett to record their discussion. She couldn’t let Nathan and Terence know about it by any means.

Although Yvonne didn’t know the details, she knew that the two families‘ marriage of convenience was related to their companies‘ development, respectively. She didn’t want Isabella to have a good life, thus trying to slander her by recording a video with Scarlett and revealing it that day.

However, she didn’t expect things to turn out like this today. She recalled Nathan and Terence frowning deeply whenever this matter was mentioned and could not imagine the consequences if they knew she was the initiator.

Gritting her teeth, she got changed and went out.

Felix felt pain with all his face bruised, but when he saw the person who bailed him out, his eyes lit up.

He always had high standards for his taste in women, and it couldn’t be helped because Fiona and Scarlett were beauties.

However, the beauty in front of him still impressed him.

Yvonne’s waist–length hair was curled into natural wavy curls, and her skin was tan and healthy. With an attractive face, her eyes looked cold, showing a proud temperament. Felix was not well–educated, so he couldn’t think of any words in his mind to describe Yvonne and only thought she was too beautiful.

“Scarlett sent you to bail me out?” He couldn’t help but soften his tone.

“Who does she think she is to order me around? She’s the one who begged me to save you! Do you understand?” Yvonne said fiercely with a

snort.

Her fierce appearance, coupled with her graceful appearance, was unusually attractive to Felix.

Felix looked at Yvonne with a dumbfounded expression and laughed dumbly. “Right, right. Scarlett is far behind you. She’s not as pretty and capable as you.”

Yvonne glanced at Felix coldly, but her expression softened a bit.

To Yvonne’s surprise, Felix looked quite good–looking, and even the bruises on his face couldn’t conceal his handsomeness.

She had always known that Scarlett had a brother who didn’t live up to expectations, and she thought he must be a particularly wretched man. Unexpectedly, he looked attractive.

Felix allowed Yvonne to size him up. Throughout his life, the only thing Felix was proud of was probably his face. Even if it was swollen now, it

could still make him feel confident..

“What are you doing for a living now?” Yvonne’s tone was slightly softened but still sounded cold.

“I just came to Moulmore and haven’t found a job yet. But, darling, if you need anything, feel free to come to me. I’ll definitely do anything for you!” Felix said promisingly, patting his chest.

“I’m not your darling!” Yvonne scolded coldly.

“Okay, Beauty!” Felix smiled, revealing his teeth.

“Give me your phone number. Maybe I’ll need you someday. Don’t forget your promise. You owe me, so you have to pay me back.” Yvonne glanced at Felix.

Felix happily wrote down his phone number and handed it to Yvonne.

Yvonne thought, ‘It would be a waste not making use of such a lapdog.‘

Chapter 70

With the strong support from Winona and Jennie, along with their daughters, Calvin and Natha Cityview Manor.

met at the Murray residence in

Before they met, the men heard their wives and daughters talk about each other, so they didn’t feel any strangeness after the meeting, as if they had been friends for years.

Having worked for Murray Corporation for years, Calvin held a prestigious title but had no real power and had never done any substantial work.

In the Murray family’s circle, it was commonly known that Calvin held an empty title. Everyone acted superficially polite to him, as he was Benny’s son and Clayton’s father, after all. Nobody had ever looked down on Calvin secretly but never bothered to flatter him because he was useless and a person of no importance to support Benny and Jimmy, even Gabriel.

He had lived all his life in fear, always feeling aggrieved.

No one had ever respected him like Nathan, who also complimented, flattered, and curried favor with him.

Everything Nathan said made Calvin feel pleased.

After sending off the Ingram family, Calvin was utterly excited and felt that his chance of success in his life had finally come. He paced back and forth in the living room, thinking about the feasibility of several investments mentioned by Nathan.

Jennie looked at him and said gently, “Calvin, what do you think of the Ingram family?”

Calvin looked up and replied solemnly, “They’re a good family. Nathan is a really capable man. I can’t believe we could meet such an outstanding man after just a few days in this city. We should give Mandy credit this time.”

Jennie smiled. “What do you think of Yvonne then?”

Calvin was stunned momentarily and thought about it. “Not bad. She’s beautiful and well–mannered.”

Jennie nodded. “How about we match her with Clayton?”

Calvin was taken aback, but his eyes then lit up. He pondered, ‘Right, the marriage of convenience! I should cooperate well with a powerful man like Nathan, and the best way to cooperate is through a marriage of convenience.”

“Jennie, you’re amazing to come up with such a good idea! We can let Clayton marry Yvonne so that we and Nathan can be in–laws. Then, when we follow Nathan to do investments, all the profits will be ours. It’ll have nothing to do with Murray Corporation or Jimmy.” Calvin felt utterly excited.

Hearing Calvin’s praise, Jennie smiled gently.

There was a sentence from Winona that Jennie agreed with, which was that she should have Clayton marry a wife who obeyed the mother- in–law. Of course, Clayton wouldn’t listen to Jennie’s arrangement, so such an order should be put forward by Clayton’s elders.
