His voice was gentle, yet it also seemed like a voice straight out of hell, causing Yvonne's heart to sink little by little.

Joel stood up.

"Since there isn't any evidence, I won't hand you over to the police.Besides, you're Uncle lan's daughter.How you should be dealt with will have to wait until Uncle lan wakes up.However, you don't have to manage the family matters anymore during this time."

His words made Yvonne suddenly look up at him.

As lan's one and only lawful daughter, Yvonne had always enjoyed a very high status in the family.

In fact, legally, she had a closer relationship with lan than what Joel, lan's nephew, had with him.

Therefore, while Joel managed the company's affairs, Yvonne was in charge of the family's affairs.

Even Florence, the housekeeper in charge of the family's internal affairs, was just her helper.

Why did Louis keep suffering in her hands despite loathing her so much? It was thanks to the fact that she was the one in control of the finances! Yet, Joel was going to deprive her of her authority? Yvonne couldn't stop herself from retorting, "Who do you intend to put in charge of managing the family's affairs, if not me? Nora? You can't do that.I'm Dad's only daughter while she's nothing more than a shameful product of that woman's betrayal of Dad.Aren't you embarrassing Dad if you do that?"

Seeing that she was still arguing even now, Joel slowly cast his eyes down and said, "You can go now"

Yvonne wanted to argue some more, but she knew that Joel never changed his mind once he made a decision.

She clenched her fists, took a deep breath, and walked out of the study.

After she left, Quentin popped out of somewhere, went to Joel, and asked, "Are you really going to let her off just like that, Joel?"

Joel rubbed his temples, feeling a headache coming on.

He sighed and said, "Uncle lan is still in a coma.As his only daughter, it's best that nothing happens to her for now.If Uncle lan pulls through, he will deal with her himself"

Joel, who had been brought up by lan himself, knew lan's character all too well.

He hated schemes and conspiracies like these the most.

Besides, he felt that Uncle lan didn't really seem to dislike Nora that much...

Quentin couldn't help asking, "What if Uncle lan doesn't make it?"

The look in Joel's eyes suddenly turned cold.

"Then it'll be the time that she gets married once she finishes two years of mourning for Uncle lan- As for who she'll marry and how much money to give her once she does, Joel had the final say! Quentin nodded.He and Joel were of the same opinion with regard to Nora —neither of them liked her very much.

After all, he was someone constantly in the shadows.

Nora's thoughts were just like his—unfit to be brought into the light.

While he was thinking about it, Joel asked, "Has Nora woken up?"

The sensitive Quentin discovered that Joel's term of address for Nora had changed.

From the distant and alienated 'Ms.Smith', it had now become 'Nora'...
