To Be Yours Again By Taylor

Chapter 116

Chapter 116 You? Team Up With Me?

Max was drinking wine on the balcony. Unlike the others, he wasn’t entertaining guests. He didn’t care about all this. He had his own ways of improving the Pearson family.

A figure strode onto the balcony. Max looked up to see who it was. When he did, he frowned, expression darkening.

“Max, are you interested in discussing an alliance?” Yvonne asked, beaming. Her lips were scarlet, her smile bright. Although she could not compare to Jenny’s classic beauty, she had her own charm.

In Parrington, Jenny wasn’t the only one who received the attention of the masses. If everyone didn’t already know that Yvonne was interested in Alec, she would have countless men pursuing her.

Max drained his wine in one gulp. With a slightly playful expression, he asked, “Alliance? Do we have anything in common for an alliance?”

“Of course we do,” Yvonne answered.

She approached Max, the scent of her perfume suffusing the air and assaulting Max’s nostrils. He became very discomfited.

Max took a few steps to the side, not trying even slightly to hide his distaste. “You’re a scion of the Dickmans. Isn’t it inappropriate for you to use your feminine wiles against me?”

“Max…”

“Don’t shoot those looks at me. I’m not interested in you.” He despised anyone who was involved with Alec Faust.

Yvonne paled. She had never been put in such an awkward position before in her life. She put away her frozen smile. Without wasting time, she asked, “I heard that you’re pursuing Jenny Walter?”

“Yeah? So?” Max raised an eyebrow, feeling intrigued.

“I can help you,” Yvonne said.

Max laughed out loud. Leaning against the railing, he looked at her with interest. “And why would you?”

“You want her, while I want Alec. I’m sure you wouldn’t want to see them remarried.” She was candid. With a man like Max Pearson, lies were useless.

Max nodded, seeming to acquiesce. “You have a point.”

“In that case, then we should…”

“However, what makes you think I should team up with you?” Max interrupted. He was wearing a grin, but his eyes were frosty.

“You…” Yvonne was stunned. She didn’t understand what he meant.

Max chortled. “You? Who do you think you are that you can team up with me?”

“Max Pearson!” Yvonne roared. “Don’t go too far!”

Max spread his hands, face a moue of innocence. “You only think you’re all that because you’re a Dickman. But do you really have any influence in that family?”

Yvonne was quiet, her expression souring.

“Don’t think you’re so great because you handle a lot in the Dickman family. You’re nothing but Steven’s bootlicker. In the future, the Dickman family will be his. What does it have anything to do with

you?”

Max’s words were so insulting that Yvonne had the impulse to simply turn and leave. She worked her ass off for the Dickman family all to gain her father’s approval, to prevent him from handing the family business to that useless piece of trash called Steven Dickman.

But what was even the point?

To her father, she would never compare to Steven no matter how capable she was. And it was all because Steven was born male!

Seeing her expression turn complicated, Max said softly, “You might as well consider asking me for help. Maybe I could help you take over the Dickman family.”

But Yvonne didn’t respond to him. She turned and left the balcony.

There was no way she would let Max interfere with her family matters. How hard was it to take it over, anyway?

All she had to do was make Steven disappear, and the family would be hers.

Make him disappear…

Yvonne grumbled. When she thought of Jenny again, her expression become cruel. “Maybe I can kill two birds with one stone and get rid of both Steven and Jenny.”Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
