Chapter 142 Video Call

Yvonne couldn’t help but laugh, despite her somewhat complicated situation in the Taylor family.

Most of the time, her family treated her very well, except for Benson.

His attitude often made Yvonne feel awkward, but she tried to adapt.

That evening, after a busy day, Yvonne decided to take a relaxing bath first.

Her niece, little Emma, was waiting for her in the room

Her innocent eyes sparkled with curiosity.

Seeing Yvonne’s phone on the bedside table, little Emma picked it up and decided to make a video call to her parents.

After that call, she suddenly thought of calling Benson as well.

At that moment, Benson had just returned from a social gathering, feeling tired and a bit tipsy.

When he saw the incoming call, a satisfied smile appeared on his lips.

The phone rang for a while before Benson slowly answered.

However, the screen showed little Emma, causing him to frown.

“Why is it you?” Benson’s tone was filled with displeasure and confusion.

Emma didn’t mind, shaking her head proudly, “Aunt Yvonne is taking a bath.” Her voice was crisp, with the carefree tone of a child.

Hearing this, Benson felt a slight unease, wondering if Yvonne was avoiding him. He snorted, trying to hide his disappointment, “Did she ask you to call me?” “No, if it wasn’t for me, Aunt Yvonne wouldn’t even mention you, Uncle Benson.”

Emma’s innocent rebuttal unknowingly touched a sensitive spot in Benson’s heart.

Benson was momentarily speechless, the silence on the other end making the atmosphere even more awkward.

Since their argument that day, Yvonne hadn’t contacted him, which made him inexplicably irritable.

“Alright, tell her to call me after her bath. I need to talk to her.”

Benson tried to keep his tone calm, despite the turmoil inside.

Benson sat back on the large sofa in the club hall.

The soft yellow light cast on his pale face, under his slightly raised eyebrows were deep and complicated

eyes.

A few drinks had made his head a bit heavy, and his mood increasingly low.

He looked around at the lavish decor and the joyful chatter, contrasting sharply with his feelings.

This little episode between uncle and niece, though simple, reflected the complexity of the adult world.

Emma held the phone in her hands, her innocent eyes looking straight at the screen.

She waited for Yvonne’s return, completely unaware of the waves she had stirred in the adala

The silence of the night was only occasionally broken by the sound of passing cars, the whole room bathed in a soft, warm light.

Finally, after a long wait, the sound of the doorknob turning was heard, and the bathroom door opened slightly.

A burst of steam and the mixed scent of shampoo and body wash wafted out.

Yvonne finally emerged, her long hair still damp, with a few droplets clinging to her wet hair.

As she moved, the drops occasionally fell onto her fair shoulders.

Her slender figure was wrapped in a simple yet tasteful black nightgown adorned with cute rabbit patterns, lively yet graceful.

Yvonne’s cheeks were naturally flushed from the bath.

Her signature beauty mark on the tip of her nose added to her charm, far from the usual calm and meticulous image of the female executive.

“What is it?” Yvonne asked, her voice calm but with a hint of fatigue.

“Wasn’t it you who asked Emma to call me?‘ Benson asked, his eyes shifting to his niece, filled with confusion.

“Mr. Benson, what are you doing here? Aren’t you supposed to be taking care of me?”

In the gentle light, the woman on the screen moved slightly, her heavily made–up face finally coming into focus.

Without hesitation, she threw a captivating glance at Benson.

Then, she hugged him, as if pouring all her affection and dependence into that one embrace.

In the video, the woman’s actions seemed flirtatious and deliberate, her voice sultry and seemingly intoxicated.

At that moment, Yvonne felt a chill, a deep disappointment rising in her heart.

She instinctively covered little Emma’s eyes.

Emma, unaware, turned to look at her, confusion filling her big eyes.

Then, Benson’s screen suddenly went black, but the woman’s coquettish voice continued.

A nearly teasing tone, “Mr. Benson, feel my heartbeat, is it fast?”

Yvonne suddenly couldn’t take it anymore and quickly hung up.

Her lips twitched as she tried to stay calm, but the turmoil inside was hard to quell.

Yvonne turned to face little Emma sitting by the bed, forcing a smile that didn’t reach her eyes.

She took a deep breath, trying to keep her voice steady

“Who was that woman?” Emma asked curiously.

Hearing this question, Yvonne’s heart tightened.

In the dim room, her expression subtly changed, showing a hint of hidden pain.

She tried to control her emotions and gently replied, “That’s not for you to worry about, Emma. It’s time for bed now.”

She stood up, fingers lightly brushing the edge of the bedspread, appearing distracted.

Crapo

Suddenly, Yvonne adjusted her clothes, trying to change the subject.

She reminded Emma of their plan for the next day.

“Didn’t you say you wanted to see Bella’s final endorsement selection tomorrow? I’ll take you.”

Hearing about Bella, Emma’s face lit up with excitement, Instantly lightening the mood.

Yvonne, seeing her niece’s smiling face, felt a bit relieved, though the worry in her brows didn’t completely fade.

Yvonne deeply studied Eurasia Jewelry’s latest product line.

The new pieces not only incorporated innovative trendy elements in their design but also cleverly combined traditional cultural heritage with modern aesthetics.

The high–quality materials and exquisite craftsmanship made each product particularly eye–catching.

Since sharing the stage with Benson, Bella’s popularity had risen, making her somewhat famous.

During the selection rounds, she had actively shared her daily life on social media, sparking enthusiastic discussions among her fans.

Especially when the camera “accidentally captured her wearing a rare Patek Philippe watch, which became a hot topic overnight, everyone marveled at Bella’s understated taste.

In the previous selection rounds, Bella maintained a simple yet elegant style.

Her fresh and natural makeup, paired with simple yet refined outfits, particularly stood out when she wore an exquisite necklace from Eurasia Jewelry.

The necklace shone on her slender neck, enhancing her overall aura.

This not only showcased the charm of the jewelry but also highlighted Bella’s unique charm.

She proved in her own way that true beauty is when the person makes the jewelry shine, not the other way around.

Therefore, in this final selection, both the media and the audience eagerly anticipated seeing Bella’s final

look.
