Alice had latched onto Yvette and showed no signs of wanting to get down. She nuzzled Yvette's shoulder like a kitten, tilted her head, and asked in a sweet, childish voice, Yvette, I had a lot of candies today. Do you know why?" Yvette smiled slightly, gently stroking Alice's head. "Why?" she asked softly.

Alice giggled sweetly. "Yvette, it's because we can read each other's minds. I knew you'd come, so I wanted to be really sweet. I'm so sweet, Wette!"

After behaving cutely, Alice leaned in and whispered, "Yvette, promise you won't tell anyone, and don't tell Demetrius. I hid all the candy so he can't find it, hehel"

As she spoke, she pulled a candy from her Mickey Mouse backpack and slipped it into Yvette's pocket. Alice beamed with satisfaction, thinking no one had noticed. Little did she know th everyone in the room had seen exactly what she'd done. Alice had a sweet tooth since she was young. Prior to meeting Alice, she had a very hard childhood with Demetrius when they grew up in the slums. However, a brain stem injury left her perpetually stuck in the mind of a six-year-old child. Her favorite flavor was always something sweet. She loved sneaking candy and hiding the wrappers so Yvette and Demetrius wouldn't find out.

Yvette held Alice. Alice was growing tired as she was using both her legs and feet, but she was reluctant to get down. She could only secretly exert herself. Soon, her cheeks were flushed and damp with sweat

The next moment, Yvette gently lifted Alice, who was clinging to her like a koala. She shifted Alice and then began to carry the latter sideways. Yvette gently weighed Alice in her arms, her brow furrowing slightly as if displeased with how light she was.

Ignoring everyone's gaze, Yvette carried Alice into the mansion. Emmett trailed behind, astonished to see such a gentle side, to Yvette. He'd never seen Yvette act so tenderly

I never thought to associate the word "tender" with Yvette, but the way she's carrying Alice like this is beautiful, somehow, thought Emmett

Emmett could tell the little girl clinging to Yvette had some sort of mental developmental delay. She was definitely not like others. However, Yvette was really spoiling that girl a bit too much.

As soon as Yvette and Alice entered the living room, they saw Cyrus already seated on the sofa. Dressed formally in a suit and leather shoes, he was signaling how seriously he was taking this meeting

The moment Emmett saw Cyrus, he knew he'd been right all along. Yvette was really going to meet the president of Mysonna at the presidential palace.

Cyrus' lips twitched as he saw Yvette carrying Alice into the room, wondering, 'How she could be so unrefined in a formal setting? Doesn't she know where she is?

But he kept his thoughts to himself, his expression giving nothing away. Cyrus sat still, waiting for Yvette to make the first move to greet him.

Yvette hardly acknowledged Cyrus, who was sitting on the couch as she entered the living room. Her gaze barely swept over Cyrus as she went straight to the other side.

Yvette set Alice down softly and took a seat next to her. Crossing her legs, she leaned back, seemingly oblivious to Cyrus presence in the living room.

Yvette ignored Cyrus completely. Emmett stood next to Yvette, His gaze lowered. As far as he was concerned, he was going to pretend not to notice anything that Yvette did not see..

Alice was settled on the couch, her arms still wrapped tightly around Yvette's and refusing to let go. She was being incredibly clingy. It was clear she was completely oblivious to Cyrus' presence.

The male assistant hurried over to Cyrus as soon as he saw what was happening, Leaning in, he announced loudly, "Mr. Becker, Ms. Zeller has arrived. We met Ms. Becker outside.

The male assistant's voice voice was as loud as it could be. It was clear that he wanted to make sure everyone in the room heard him, and nearly made himself hoarse from the attempt. 11 years of working for Cyrus had clearly honed his ability to read the room. Although Cyrus' cars were ringing from the shouting, a satisfied expression spread across his face. He then cleared his throat loudly a few times, on purpose. "All right, I understand. You can step aside.

While Cyrus and his male assistant carried on this role quite smoothly, Yvette, Emmett, and the innocent Alice appeared uninterested in their presence. However, Alice was startled by the male assistant's loud voice and shrank into Yvette's arms fearfully. "Yvette, they're so loud," she whimpered.

Alice's dismissive comment left both Cyrus and his male assistant feeling awkward, but they still pretended nothing had happened. However, their pride was a bit wounded, especially Cyrus'. For Mysonna's president to be told he was noisy by his own niece was quite humiliating.

Emmett hid the mirth in his eyes, thinking, "The President is really pathetic, but he wants to show Yvette who's boss? With the King of Golden Triangle under her thumb, the President of Mysonna seems relatively insignificant in comparison' Yvette, who had been so still throughout the whole incident, was jolted into action by Alice's frightened face. A dark, menacing glint appeared in her usually gentle eyes.

A cold aura enveloped her, chilling the entire living room. Yvette gently patted Alice on the back, her gaze then settling on Cyrus, who was seated on the sofa.

Cyrus sensed Yvette's gaze and paused. Yvette's moodiness had not changed throughout the years, and Cyrus feared that she might actually attack him here. Yvette was brutal when she snapped

Cyrus quickly tried to calm Alice down. "I'm so sorry for scaring you, Alice. My voice was a bit loud. Here, have some new fruit candy. Why don't you go play outside? Yvette and I have important things to discuss." Cyrus took out some candy from a drawer. The colorful sweets looked delicious. Alice's eyes widened at the sight of the candy as she swallowed audibly, but glanced at Yvette, her expression torn.

After a while, as if she'd endured much and had made a difficult decision, she refused. "No, thank you, Uncle Cyrus. I want to stay with Yvette. I'm not going anywhere." She turned away, pouting slightly. Her grip on Yvette's hand tightened. Yvette sat with her legs crossed, a smirk playing on her lips, looking every bit the boss. Opposite her, Cyrus, who'd been soundly beaten despite his age and years of experience and cunning, could not help but feel a little embarrassed. Seeing Cyrus' grim expression, the assistant quickly stepped forward and apologized to Alice. "Ms. Becker, I'm sorry. My voice was too loud."

Cyrus gave the male assistant a satisfied nod and gestured for him to leave. "Off you go."

Cyrus put on quite a show trying to pass the buck, but his act fell flat. No one in the room, except for his assistant, was buying it. He realized that his putting on that act was futile, and a wave of dejection washed over him. 10:19 Sat, Dec 28
