Chapter 1127
Xyla looked away and gasped. “I didn’t.”
Yorrick snorted. “You’re afraid that you will fall for me someday. That’s why you backed down.” Xyla was so agitated
that her whole body trembled. “Who told you that I’m afraid? And why should I fall for you? I’ll fall for every single
man in the world before I do the same to you!”
“It’s because you’re afraid.”
“You!” Xyla’s chest palpitated even more vigorously as she faced the bombardment of his questions.
Yorrick then kissed her on the lips and laughed hoarsely when he saw her body soften. “You like the excitement and
stimulation that I bring to you, so it’s not that you don’t have feelings for me. It’s just that you don’t want to admit
it.” Xyla pursed her lips tightly and stared elsewhere while Yorrick caressed her cheek with his palm. “It does look
like many women surround me from time to time.”
He paused for a few seconds and then continued with a faint smile. “But frankly speaking, I’ve only slept with two
women in total. As for you, you’re currently the second placer on the list, and you might even be the last.”

Yuna was sitting in the courtyard drinking afternoon tea with Mandy. She knew that last night’s scheme had failed,
so she wanted to comfort Mandy. “You don’t have to care that much about that woman.
You’re the daughter of the Rennards, and Yorrick will eventually marry you.”
Mandy put the teacup down. “Mrs. Hathaway, Yorrick might be serious about that woman.”
“He’s serious?” Yuna sneered as she placed the teacup to her lips but did not drink from it. “Since that woman died
years ago, he hasn’t been serious about any woman. Every woman that he’s been with up until today has only been
a temporary passion.”
Having mentioned that woman, Mandy was astonished for a split second. “But she’s been dead for so many years.
Maybe Yorrick has already let go…”
Yuna lifted her eyelids. “But what if she’s still alive?”
‘That’s impossible!” Mandy was surprised.” I was there when she was cremated…”
“I know.” Yuna covered the back of
Mandy’s hand with her hand and reassured her, “If a woman who looks very much like her were to appear right in
front of him, alive and kicking, what do you think he would do?”
Mandy gasped. “But if that’s the case, even if he were to give up on that woman, he still wouldn’t marry me, would
he?”
Yuna sounded certain. “As long as the doppelganger can make him give up on that woman, a fake will always be a
fake. He’ll marry you when he’s had enough fun and recognizes the fact.”
“But where can we find a woman who looks exactly like Sharon Jinks?” Mandy thought the idea was a bit
outrageous.
Yuna put the teacup down and clapped her hands. The woman who came out from behind Yuna made Mandy’s
expression change in shock. She even thought that the person who had been cremated back then had really come
back to life!
At Stoslo…
Soul Jewelry was featured in a weekly published fashion magazine, so the store had already encountered its peak
one week after its grand opening. Most of its customers were women who were quite fond of diamonds and antique
jewelry, and Maisie, who had lived in Stoslo for a period, recognized this.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIf the company wanted to get into the mainstream market, the brand’s publicity must be on point. Not only did they
need to get their products featured in fashion magazines, but they also needed to put on plenty of advertisements
to attract more streams of customers. At the end of the day, they had spent a lot of money just for the right
publicity.
Maisie was kept occupied from morning to night, securing various orders, and the store had only recruited two
employees so far. It was the same today. But Maisie asked the two employees to leave work first while she stayed
behind to draw up an inventory for the end of the day.
Hearing the sound of someone pushing the door, she raised her head and saw that it was Nolan. She immediately
ran over with a
smile and hugged him coquettishly. “I’m so tired. I want someone to hug.”
He stood in place with a helpless smile and let her hug him to her heart’s content.
Maisie smelled something all of a sudden, looked down, and saw that Nolan had a box of chocolate jam cake with
him, and her eyes widened. “Is this a cake from Lach’s Patisserie?”
Lach’s Patisserie’s cakes were rare in the market. Even if one could find one in the market, their pastries were
famous for their exorbitant price tag, which was why they were solely popular among the nobles and royal families.
