Ronald remained silent, while Xander was shook to his core.


    Turning around, Xander looked at Yvonne, who had appeared at the door without anyone noticing. His mouth twitched in disbelief.


    "What, what, what do you mean? Was there no ce for reason anymore? What do you mean by ''yes''? Yes for what?"


    Yvonne walked in with her arms crossed. "For marrying you, of course. That way, you won''t have the chance to think about anything else. After all, Star would never want a divorced guy. I''m making sure you have no damn chance."


    Xander''s mind wentpletely nk at her deration. He stared at Yvonne, pupils contracting, unable to believe what he was hearing. Did Yvonne really say that? She wanted to make sure he had no chance with Ste!?


    "You''d sacrifice your happiness to make sure I have no chance with Ste?"


    Yvonne shrugged, arms still crossed. "Yep, exactly. Is that a problem?"


    Xander''s breath wasing in quick, angry bursts. This was crazy,pletely insane.


    "And what about Dan? He wouldn''t want a divorced woman, either."


    Xander, frustrated, brought up Dan, the man who had upied a corner of Yvonne''s heart for years, never fading from memory.


    Right now, Xander was utterly dumbfounded. He hade here to confront Yvonne about sneaking his documents over to Dan. And now, he felt like he was the one being cornered, unable to escape.


    Yvonne was unfazed. "Dan''s marrying someone else now. No big deal, we can both be ''the divorced''."


    Xander leapt up in anger. "Who wants to be that with you? Stop dragging me into this mess! I''m telling you, there''s no way I could ever like you."


    Fueled by anger, Xander spoke in a gradually harsher tone.


    Yvonne raised an eyebrow. "Let''s get married tomorrow, and divorce the next day. Who needs love anyway? Or we could just stay married, doesn''t really matter if there''s love or not."


    Xander was rendered speechless. So, she just wanted him to be the divorced who would stand no chance with Ste?


    As their back-and-forth continued, Ronald cast a deep, thoughtful nce at Yvonne. The situation had spiraled out of control.


    Yvonne snapped, "You shameless fool, Star''s pregnant with my brother''s kid. Why are you meddling?


    With your track record, it''d be a miracle if Star wanted to marry you. She doesn''t, and you''re still pestering her, you disgraceful mess."


    Yvonne had been furious since earlier, and now she was letting Xander have it.


    Xander always knew the Quinn family was sharp-tongued, especially Ste, who seemed soft and gentle. But under the Quinn family''s tutge, even she knew how to hold her own.


    These past few days, Yvonne had onlye to pick fights with him, without much verbal sparring. Now that her verbal skills were kicking in, Xander felt like she was an exploding firecracker...


    "Are you done yet? Yvonne, I''m telling you, quit twisting things around and give me back my stuff."


    Did she really think that by arguing like this, he''d forget why he came? If that was the n, they really miscalcted.


    At the mention of that stuff, Yvonne got even more annoyed. Though she knew it was hard to exin, she really hadn''t taken it.


    "What stuff? I didn''t take anything."


    Honestly, with this guy, she couldn''t exin herself anymore.


    Her nonchnt, non-exnatory attitude only reignited Xander''s anger. "You just came from Dan''s ce and then came to attack me for Ste. I thought you really cared about Ste. Turns out you had ulterior motives all along? Now the documents are with Dan, and you say you didn''t take them?"


    Yvonne was speechless. Could this guy''s brain be any sharper? Even with things so tangled, he managed to piece it together.


    Yvonne wished she could just pass out and be done with it.


    Looks like she''d have to get serious with Xander, this stubborn mule.
