Chapter 594
lan's face darkened further with every word out of Bryan's mouth. He gave off a chilly air.
But Bryan mistakenly thought it meant that his flattery was working. He shot Yvette a smug look, then continued to fawn over lan.
"Mr. Ian, just leave arrogant brats like these who dare offend you to me! I'll definitely deal with them satisfactorily!"
Without waiting for an answer from lan, Bryan walked pompously over to stand in front of
Yvette.
"By my authority as vice president of the Research Association, I hereby blacklist you from the Research Association. From here on out, you're no longer allowed to take on any work related to the Research Association!"
He was incredibly pleased with himself. "Let's see how this woman can still act so stuck-up after being blacklisted by the research community!" he thought.
This was the price she would pay for offending lan!
He thought he'd get to see fear on Yvette's face. However, not only was she not the least bit scared, she sounded even more casual than before.
""You think I'm blacklisted just because you say so?"
Her attitude made Bryan even angrier than before. "But of course!" he spat. "The Research Association has great influence within the research community. Just one word from me and there'll be no place for you in the research community!" Yvette's eyes glittered coldly at his posturing. Her tone was mocking as she said, "Oh, how scary!"
Her expression held none of the fear she claimed to be feeling. On the contrary, she looked like a queen sitting high up on her throne, looking down at Bryan with contempt.
"You- Bryan was beside himself with anger. "You don't even deserve to participate in the exchange forum happening today! Just get out of here right now!"
He reached out to grab Yvette in a fit of frustration. However, he was bodily kicked away by lan before he could lay a hand on Yvette.
"Argh..." Bryan fell heavily to the ground, howling in pain.
lan's expression was cold as ice. "I dare you to try and touch her."
Every word was spoken slowly and clearly.
Bryan looked toward lan, pain and confusion on his face. "Mr. Ian, what do
you mean?"
He had acted against her for lan's sake! Weren't all sorts of rumors going around about how she was on bad terms with lan's brother, Sean? But then why was lan protecting her now?
lan couldn't be bothered to spare Bryan a single glance, He walked over to Yvette, eyes full of concern. "Yvie, that didn't scare you, did it?" Yvette shook her head. "No," she answered honestly,
"That's good to hear!" lan sighed in relief.
Jacob and Adam had only just sent him messages, telling him to take good care of Yvie while they were out of the city. If Yvette were to be treated badly under his watch, he'd be done for!
Though even without Jacob and Adam telling him all that, he'd still ensure Yvette wasn't mistreated!
Was lan treating her like she was made of glass? Yvette raised an eyebrow. She didn't understand why he would think of her that way, as if she was fragile and would break easily. In fact, she was actually pretty tough. "Here Yvie, you grab a bite to eat first. Let me deal with him!"
lan thoughtfully placed some delicious-looking desserts in front of Yvette, then had a waiter bring over a glass of milk as well.
Everyone at the scene was stunned, their mouths gaping open in disbelief.
Who was lan Murray? Why, only the third son of Jubilife City's wealthiest family, the research community's most outstanding young talent, and a man favored by the gods.
When had anyone ever seen him being so attentive toward another person?
Moreover, hadn't there been rumors about lan and Yvette not getting along, and how they were always getting into arguments the moment they ran into each other?
