"That’s kind of you, Aunt," Evelyn Clayton said flatly, "but before we proceed, I have a request."
Yvette Warren was accommodating, "Go ahead."
Evelyn looked straight at her, "No matter what, it must not affect the Sinclair family."
Yvette t Evelyn’s gaze unwaveringly, and after a long pause, suddenly let out a soft laugh.
Evelyn frowned slightly.
Before she could speak, Yvette said, "Evelyn, you are too young, too naive. From the day you decided to use the Sinclair family to get close to Arthur Chandler, the Sinclairs were already entangled and couldn’t easily extricate themselves. Besides, you don’t even have the chance to openly associate with Arthur Chandler yet—you t through the connections of the Sinclair family."
Listening to Yvette’s words, Evelyn felt a slight chill in her heart.
Yvette wasn’t wrong.
Without the Sinclair family, she couldn’t even get close to Yvette’s shadow.
That sense of defeat was truly unpleasant.
But Yvette didn’t seem to have co just to make her uncomfortable.
Yvette leisurely took a sip of tea, "However, the request you ntioned, I can fulfill it, depending on whether you’ll take my advice."
Evelyn frowned slightly, "What advice?"
"If you really want the power to rival Arthur Chandler, and don’t want to implicate the Sinclair family, you should leave Apex," Yvette leaned slightly, staring into Evelyn’s eyes, "Do you think, with a position and skills as a design director at Apex, you can shake Arthur Chandler even a little?"
Upon hearing this, Evelyn’s heart sank deeper and deeper into a gloomy abyss.
After a long while, Evelyn finally said slowly, "You an to leave Apex, to leave the Sinclair family?"
It’s not that she didn’t want to leave.
But Pauline Warren—
"You only need to leave Apex," Yvette said indifferently, "As I ntioned earlier, you can’t escape the support of the Sinclair family. Even I am choosing you as a partner because of the Sinclair family."
Continuing, Yvette raised an eyebrow, "Specifically, it’s for Pauline’s sake that I’m collaborating with you."
Evelyn remained silent, simply gazing at Yvette quietly.
Yvette continued, "You just need to jump out of Apex, and I will arrange the rest for you. But at that ti, you might not be able to hide away any longer."
Evelyn mimicked her and raised an eyebrow slightly, "You’re saying—"
"To present yourself as Shannon Sinclair," Yvette said outright, "That identity, that surna, is your greatest weapon. As long as you bear the Sinclair na, Arthur Chandler, even if he knows you’re Evelyn Clayton, wouldn’t dare touch you."
Evelyn remained silent.
She didn’t know what to say; in fact, she agreed with Yvette’s words.
But whether or not to really do it, Evelyn was very hesitant.
Yvette saw her hesitation and smiled slightly, "I’ve shown you the way; whether or not to take it is up to you."
Seeing Evelyn remain silent, Yvette smiled gently, "I’ll give you ti to think it over. Coincidentally, after the shareholders’ eting, you will beco a Sinclair in the true sense, and then it’s up to you how to choose."
After finishing, Yvette got up and leisurely left.
Evelyn ca to the villa entrance, seeing Yvette enter the main building, say sothing with a smile to Pauline Warren, and then quickly take her leave.
Standing at the doorway for a long ti, only then did Evelyn turn around and go inside.
