CHAPTER 858: CHAPTER 858: I WILL GENERATE POWER FOR LOVE

She quickly waved her hands to decline, "The money I get each month is probably the most in the entire company, except for you. Let’s not talk about a raise; perhaps I could have a few more days off to free up some time to discuss the engagement arrangements with Rhys Linden."

"You’re getting engaged?"

This time, it was Nora Northwood who was surprised.

The scene of Rhys Linden pursuing Yvonne Winslow was still vivid in her memory, and in the blink of an eye, the two were about to walk down the aisle.

When it came to personal relationships, Yvonne Winslow’s aura softened considerably.

With a hint of shy girlish charm, she said, "It’s something we’ve decided on recently. If nothing goes wrong, we’ll be engaged before the end of the year."

"Let me know the date in advance when it’s set."

"Of course, you’ll be the first to know."

"After the engagement, Rhys Linden won’t make you stay home to play the role of a devoted wife and mother, will he?"

Nora Northwood vaguely recalled that the Linden Family’s background leaned towards military and political circles, making them one of the top families in Stanton City.

With Yvonne Winslow’s status as a board secretary, she was undoubtedly impressive in the business world, but in military and political circles, which prioritized power, it might not be the same...

If she left VK, it would be quite an effort for Nora Northwood to find another capable secretary.

Back then, it was Jasper Sinclair who introduced them.

Yvonne Winslow recognized Nora Northwood’s concern and immediately reassured her, "Rest assured completely. I work at VK out of passion, and Rhys Linden won’t interfere with my job."

Examining it closely, Yvonne Winslow and Nora Northwood essentially belonged to the same kind of people, passionate about their work and able to shine brightly in their field of expertise.

She was not yet thirty and managed to secure the position of board secretary not only due to her own robust capabilities but also because Nora Northwood was willing to give her the opportunity to rise.

Moreover, the influence of Jasper Sinclair was a factor.

As long as Yvonne Winslow stayed at VK for a day, Jasper Sinclair would remember her favor for a day.

Who is Jasper Sinclair?

A renowned figure on the Forbes Rich List, whose wealth, converted to yuan, could circle Stanton City hundreds of times, combining both power and money.

Having such a person remember your favor is something many people would consider a stroke of immense fortune.

Weighing the options, of course, Yvonne Winslow wouldn’t be foolish enough to leave VK.

If she were forced to choose between Rhys Linden and VK, even she couldn’t guarantee that Rhys Linden would be a hundred percent sure of winning.

So, the question Nora Northwood posed was, in fact, invalid.

...

Evening.

As soon as the workday ended, Nora Northwood became troubled.

The incident with Jasper Sinclair targeting VK left a knot in her heart, making it impossible for her to feel at ease living under the same roof with him.

However, Nora Northwood was fully aware that Jasper Sinclair wouldn’t allow her to leave.

As a result, the situation became quite awkward.

She wanted to use working overtime as an excuse, unwilling to return to Crimson Hill Villa even after hours.

However, unbeknownst to her, Jasper Sinclair had already arrived downstairs at VK ten minutes earlier.

The surrounding high-rises were aglow with lights.

In an era where people compete against each other, even those at the top of the food chain strive for wealth.

Jasper Sinclair, with one hand in his pocket, leaned against the door of a Lamborghini.

Under the illumination of the streetlamp, his handsome face revealed an indescribable sense of melancholy and loneliness.

He could clearly guess that Nora Northwood was deliberately avoiding him.

So he didn’t urge her.
