Chapter 126
Sally's eyes flashed shrewdly, and she suddenly scooped Yvonne up into her arms. “Yvonne, don’t go. Let your
mom and dad have a couple of days to themselves.”
| couldn’t help thinking, ‘Sally always has snew schup her sleeve. | bet she’s already thinking about
having a chubby grandson again.
Quinn looked sour. Jared being nice tomeant my standing in the family was on the rise, and as the Holcomb
family’s heiress, she hated anyone threatening her place at the top. Sometimes, she couldnt even stand
Yvonne.
“Jared, what do you think about that brand | mentioned?” Quinn was working on her startup, but Jared wasn’t
about to give her a quick yes.
“I'm still having it evaluated. I'll let you know the results after a while,” Jared said as he headed for the door to
put on his leather shoes. “Victoria, go upstairs and pack a few things. I'll wait for you in the car.”
| turned and headed upstairs. A little while later, | cback down with my bag.
Sally suddenly walked over and shoved a couple of packets into my hand. “Make sure Jared takes this. Its for,
you know, boosting his virility. And this white one is for you, to nourish you. Both of you need to take them.”

“Oh, sure, I'll make him take it,” | replied with a fake smile. But there was no way | was touching that stuff
myself. What if | got poisoned or something?
As soon as we got in the car, Jared told Warner to drive us to the airport.
On the way, | asked Jared, “Is it just the two of us?”
“No, there are a few people from the company, too. They left this morning,” Jared replied in his usual flat tone.
“Is Tracy going to be there?” | asked, my tone dripping with sarcasm.
Jared shota look of impatience. “She’s in charge of several major projects at the company. She's leading this
one too. Of course she’ll be there.”
| just nodded. ‘No wonder she’s his go-to person on the front lines. Every penny the Holcomb family makes has
her fingerprints all over it, | thought.
But honestly, | couldn't care less anymore. Tracy was working so hard to show off her skills, all just to impress
Jared.
As the boss, Jared naturally kept an eye on everyone's abilities and weighed the pros and cons. Tracy fighting on
the front lines for him was just her way of currying favor, nothing more.
Suddenly, a big, knuckly hand, warm and dry, reached over and wrapped around my fingers, which were resting
on my knee.
| tensed up, instinctively wanting to pull away, but Jared seemed to see it coming. The second | tried to move, he
just tightened his grip.
| looked up at him, and he was already looking at me. He didn’t say a word, but his eyes spoke volumes.
| was baffled. ‘What's with Jared acting all tender right now? | thought.

his tone anything but soft.

Jared closed his eyes and said, “Let's

Jared slowly lifted his gaze to me. “What if | already slept with her?”
| jerked my hand away from him, furious.
The next second, Jared leaned in close to me. “Just kidding. Did you really buy that?”
| turned my face away and let out a
