My Possessive CEO: Trembling in His Arms-Chapter 84: Betting on Her True Feelings for You
Jack Yates and his two brothers—eldest brother Sean Yates and second brother Wallace Yates—as well as their sister, Hank Yates.
Sean Yates is a university professor, although not at a prestigious university, just an ordinary private college.
Wallace Yates is a director, and his personal life is even more chaotic than Sean Yates’s.
Among the three brothers, Jack Yates is the most capable, the most successful, and the most self-disciplined.
However, he has now ignited the fury of the Yates Family by extravagantly booking the entire Kyoro Grand Hotel to celebrate the birthday of a female student.
"Crazy! The third brother must be crazy!" Even Wallace Yates was angrily complaining, "The third brother has always been steady and restrained; how could he do something like supporting a female student?"
Sean Yates seized the opportunity to add fuel to the fire: "And that girl was originally Aiden’s girlfriend. The third brother, as an elder, actually snatched away his nephew’s..."
Russell Yates sternly rebuked, "Shut up!"
Wallace Yates, with hands in pockets, continued: "Dad, the third brother is the future pillar of our family. He navigates military, politics, and business with ease. Didn’t you say that without the third brother, our Yates Family would decline after you retire, but with him, we’d be prosperous for another fifty years!"
Hank Yates also advised: "Dad, we cannot let the third brother continue this nonsense. If he were just playing around, it would be different, but look at what he’s doing now! He has made such a grand spectacle of it by booking the entire Kyoro Grand Hotel for the girl’s birthday, inviting famous singers from across the regions, and all prominent young men from The Quadrangle are attending. How is this different from an engagement?"
Wallace Yates added, "Indeed, Dad, the third brother’s actions set a bad example. No matter how reckless I am, I wouldn’t openly date those female celebrities like this. His behavior is too arrogant!"
Meanwhile, in another setting.
In the bustling and luxurious hall, Jack Yates held Renee Winslow, moving through the elegantly dressed crowd, stopping to toast or exchange a few words with a smile.
He was declaring to his circle that Renee Winslow was his woman.
From now on, no one could touch her.
Everyone stepped forward to toast him, respectfully offering their congratulations.
Suddenly, Jack Yates’s phone rang. He glanced at the call, discreetly tucked the phone into his pocket, and gently nudged Renee Winslow’s lower back: "You go rest in the private room for a while." 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶
"Okay." Renee Winslow agreed with a smile.
Jack Yates took his phone and went to the balcony to take the call.
Russell Yates’s tone was very cold: "After the birthday party ends, come back."
Jack Yates: "Alright."
Once the birthday celebration ended, Jack Yates had a driver send Renee Winslow back to her apartment, while he himself was driven to the old residence by the housekeeper.
Inside the Yates Family hall, everyone was present, even Old Mr. Yates, who usually stayed out of the family matters, waiting for him as if for a trial.
Jack Yates walked in with one hand in his pocket, a well-tailored black suit jacket draped over his other arm, carrying a slight scent of alcohol.
He glanced at Old Mr. Yates seated in the chief position and called out, "Grandfather."
Jack Yates still deeply respected Old Mr. Yates, having been mostly raised by him and Old Mrs. Yates until he was six.
Old Mr. Yates, leaning on a cane, said helplessly, "You, young man, have become too full of yourself."
Russell Yates said with a cold face, "Break up with her immediately. Once you do, the family won’t trouble her."
Jack Yates lifted his eyelids and sneered, "Secretary Yates, Felix Yates is your son as well."
Russell Yates: "It’s precisely because you are my son that I don’t want you to go astray!"
Clap clap—
Jack Yates applauded with a smile: "Secretary Yates truly values me!"
As he spoke, he walked towards Russell Yates, his voice suddenly deepening: "A stray path? What is a stray path? Your precious eldest is sleeping with female students at school, having sexual relations with multiple female students—is that not a stray path? Your second son treats the entertainment industry like a harem, exploiting young actresses just starting out—is that not a stray path?"
With a long finger pointing at his side waist, Jack Yates sneered: "Secretary Yates, your heart is leaning entirely to your waist."
Sean Yates and Wallace Yates, both being scolded, were unwilling to accept it, especially with Russell Yates present; they both wanted to refute.
Russell Yates raised a hand: "Those two are useless. I’ve given up on them. But you, Felix, you have a promising future, and you can’t ruin your bright prospects for a mere female student."
Jack Yates lowered his gaze, his smile growing colder: "You and your first love bore the eldest son you adore most, who doesn’t need to bear any responsibility, just live as he pleases. Even the substitute who gave you your second son doesn’t have to be responsible. Only I am a tool you, Secretary Yates, created to bring honor to the family name."
"Back then, when I went to Southea for anti-drug enforcement, barely surviving in the dense forests for half a month, living off the land. And what was Secretary Yates doing? You knowingly turned a deaf ear, despite being aware of internal collusion with foreign drug lords, leaving me to fend for myself!"
Old Mr. Yates sighed, leaning on his cane: "Felix, don’t blame your father. If you want to blame, blame this old fool. I’m the one who pushed you towards military school and infused the spirit of fearless heroism in you, putting you in this risky position."
Jack Yates approached Old Mr. Yates, slowly squatting down to hold his withered hand: "Grandfather, I don’t blame you. Windfang Ruin—drinking horse at Han Sea. I respect you."
After speaking, Jack Yates stood up, intending to leave.
Chloe Bell called after him: "Felix."
Jack Yates stopped, giving Chloe Bell a detached glance: "If you want to talk about your niece, save it."
Chloe Bell smiled gently: "Mom’s not here to talk about Rina Bell. Mom wants to make a bet with you."
"Oh?" Jack Yates raised an eyebrow, "Bet on what?"
Chloe Bell said with a smile: "Bet on whether the girl is sincere with you. If she withstands our test and is sincere with you, we’ll agree to let her be with you. Are you willing to bet?"
