Chapter 243 The Real Power y
Wyatt stared at her. “Your daughter’s dead, and you’re apologizing to me?
Lily trose Maybe Wyatt’s gaze was so sharp–too unfriendly. She could only lower her head and silently follow Preva into the bunking
Freya told her to watt at the othee door before slipping inside.
Inside. Yumice was seated at the desk, taking the pulse of one of Carl’s acquaintances.
Upon learning that Lily hase. Yunice and the patient moved to the lounge room in the back.
When Lily entered. Freya lett, and only she and Carl were lett in the office.
Lily rxed and greeted Carl like an old friend “Mr. Wyatt was sitting outside. I thought you had. guests”
Carl said. “That boytes by all the time. I’ve never agreed to see him.”
Lily’s face lit up. At least Paul could still get an audience with Carl–that must mean Carl was leaning toward Paul’s side.
Seeing that Carl was willing to speak with her. Lily grew <b>bolder </b><b>and </b>asked. “We haven’t seen each other in almost twenty years. You’re forty seven now, and still not married?”
She stole a careful nce at Carl. “Freya seems to like you. She’s <b>quite </b>a <b>catch</b>…
There were blinds between the lounge and the office–<b>Yunice </b><b>could </b>hear everything <b>clearly </b>from inside.
She gently withdrew her hand from the patient’s wrist and started writing a prescription.
Carl lifted his eyes and looked at Lily. After a few seconds of silence, he replied, “You haven’t considered remarriage all these years either.
Lily’s face instantly went pale. She clutched the silk pouch in her hands tightly and lowered her head. “I don’t dare… I get scared every time I see a man….
After a pause, she changed the subject. “Now I just want Pingwer’s children to live safe and smooth lives… After Yunice passed, both her brothers fell apart. They can’t sleep through the night. If this keeps up, what will we do..”
Yunice blinked slowly and set down her pen.
M
Yunice, do you recognize the person outside?” the man asked.
Yunice gave a small nod, then looked up and said, “Heart and spleen deficiency Irregr sleep schedule. Mental fatigue from stress. Common among workhorses.”

He was still young, and despite theints, he smiled as he <b>mentioned </b>work.
Finished
He epted the prescription Yunice had written <b>and </b>handed her his business card. “A chance meeting is fate–let’s be friends.”
Carl held Yumice in high regard. Exchanging contacts seemed only natural.
Yunice’s new WhatsApp ount, registered under her <b>new </b>identity, was slowly gaining
connections.
In the office, Lily talked about her children and Pingwei, even shedding a few tears, <b>Carl </b>finally promised to speak with Oscar and Owen, and only then did she agree to leave.
Before going, she asked Freya for her contact information, saying she’d get in touch directly next time she wanted to see Carl.
Freya smiled politely, though it never reached her eyes.
When Yunice was ready to go, it was Victor who escorted her out.
As they walked out side–by–side, Wyatt’s gaze scammed them both coldly.
Victor stepped forward, offering his hand. “Mr. Wyatt, I’m Victor, the Northvale project coordinator from Crawford Group. I look forward to working with you.”
Wyatt didn’t shake his hand. His smile was icy. “Yunice is the Northvale liaison. I’m just working under her. If you need anything, ask her.“
Victor withdrew his hand, maintaining his polite smile. “Ah, I think you misunderstood, Mr. Wyatt. I know your wedding with Yunice ising up. Carl assigned me to gain experience- nothing more.”
Wyatt tilted his head and sneered. “So, are you done gaining experience?”
Victor’s smile faltered. He’d heard Wyatt had a temper, and now he knew firsthand–it wasn’t ant exaggeration.
He nodded stiffly.
Wyatt grabbed Yunice’s hand and stood up, brushing past Victor like he didn’t exist.
“You’re joining the Northvale project too?” Wyatt’s tone was unreadable.
When Yunice had nothing to rely on, she was like a little sparrow–easy to cage, easy to control. Marrying her would’ve posed no threat.
But now, Carl had handed her the golden ticket everyone craved. Yunice was no longer the type to stay tucked away in the kitchen.
It looked like Carl had done Wyatt a “favor,” only to load it with fine print.

whole table.
Still, she answered, “Yes.”
Finished
Even without Carl’s backing, she would never let herself be someone’s pet in the back garden.
She braced for Wyatt to explode..
But he said nothing–only opened the car door and told her to get in.
Yunice climbed in, uneasy, her brow furrowed tight.
Wyatt <b>had </b>been treating her welltely, but instead of easing into it, she found herself getting
more and m101,
Wyatt was twisted. She hadn’t forgotten the rumors.
