My Possessive CEO: Trembling in His Arms-Chapter 67: How Dare She Fall for Jack Yates?

Renee Winslow truly felt like she wanted to die; she closed her eyes, wishing she could just faint, but at this moment, she felt no dizziness, just a sharp clarity.

Looking at Jack Yates’ grim and cold face, she wanted to explain, opened her mouth, but didn’t know what to say, feeling utterly powerless.

She understood Jack Yates’ personality too well. Every time something like this happened, no matter how much she explained, he would still be angry, and only by venting that anger on her would he feel better.

Yet Caleb Yates didn’t hear Renee Winslow’s voice and continued to ask, "Renee, what’s wrong, why aren’t you talking?"

Under Jack Yates’ indifferent gaze, Renee Winslow could only muster the courage to speak: "Caleb Yates, don’t call me anymore. I’m now your third uncle, Jack Yates’ girlfriend."

Caleb Yates: "Renee, I know he forced you, you don’t like him, you..."

Afraid that Caleb Yates might say something even more shocking, Renee Winslow hurriedly interrupted him: "Caleb Yates don’t speak nonsense! I’m with Jack Yates of my own will, he didn’t force me. And I really like him. If I didn’t like him, I wouldn’t have been with him. I’m already his woman now, unless he doesn’t want me, otherwise I absolutely won’t leave him. Don’t call me ever again!"

After saying that, she quickly pressed to hang up.

"Jack Yates, I never contacted Caleb..."

Renee Winslow was just about to explain but hadn’t finished her words when Jack Yates’ phone rang.

Jack Yates raised a hand and turned to walk towards the window to answer the call.

"Hello." His voice was cold.

It was his mother Chloe Bell’s voice on the phone: "Where have you gone?"

Jack Yates was indifferent and stern: "Whatever it is, just say it."

Chloe Bell spoke with a sense of helplessness: "Didn’t I tell you before, you should come home today, Wren Hawthorne is here."

Jack Yates: "You can handle it, mother."

Chloe Bell patiently said: "If nothing unexpected happens, Hector Hawthorne will be promoted to Director of the Energy Bureau next year, and you are working on an energy project now. If you and his daughter Wren Hawthorne..."

Jack Yates’ voice was icy: "What if something unexpected happens to him?"

Chloe Bell paused, then rebuked: "What nonsense are you talking? The Hawthorne Family with their deeply rooted connections in The Quadrangle has long settled under this Imperial Quarter. To put it bluntly, even if something were to happen to The Yates Family, the Hawthorne Family would not fall."

Jack Yates’ voice was cold: "Precisely because the tree is too big, it needs pruning."

Chloe Bell: "Third Son, don’t act on impulse, and don’t speak these youthful and arrogant words. You’re almost thirty now, you should have a sense of balance, knowing what should be done and what shouldn’t. You fancy a young and beautiful college girl and want to have some fun, I don’t oppose it. But play is play, don’t risk your future. If ruining your path for one woman costs you your lifetime of advancement, don’t say your father will disagree, I won’t agree either, and you will regret it yourself by then."

Jack Yates bit down hard on his back teeth, suppressing his anger, he said: "I’m not in Northcity today, can’t go back temporarily."

Chloe Bell patiently asked: "Then can you give me an exact answer, when can you come back?"

Jack Yates gripped the phone tightly, his hand turning white with the effort, paused for a moment, then replied coldly: "The day after tomorrow."

Chloe Bell let out a gentle laugh: "Alright, make sure to come back the day after tomorrow, I’ll find a reason to invite Wren Hawthorne over."

After hanging up the phone, Jack Yates directly walked out of the bedroom and went to the living room to smoke.

Since Jack Yates did not take the call behind Renee Winslow’s back nor did he lower his voice intentionally during the call, Renee Winslow heard all his words.

Hearing him say the day after tomorrow, Renee Winslow guessed he might leave either tomorrow or today.

Seeing Jack Yates hang up the phone without saying a word to her, not even looking at her once and coldly leave the bedroom for the living room, Renee Winslow felt as if her heart was being heavily twisted.

She always tried hard to stay clear-headed and constantly reminded herself not to fall in love with Jack Yates, not to be confused by his occasional tenderness and affection. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

However, she still couldn’t control herself from falling for him, she couldn’t even pinpoint exactly when.

Whether it was when Jack Yates took her to Crythia to see the aurora or to Afronia to buy diamonds, or when she fell ill and he took a night flight to see her, she couldn’t identify the exact moment.

In any case, after falling sick this time, she had finally seen her heart clearly.

She fell for Jack Yates.

But what was the result? Because of a single phone call from Caleb Yates, Jack Yates showed her such a cold face and wouldn’t even listen to a single explanation.

When it comes down to it, he ultimately only sees her as a plaything, hardly a relationship between equal partners.

Renee Winslow smiled bitterly inside, how could she even dare, how could she dare fall for Jack Yates?

Wasn’t this just bringing misery upon herself?
