Chapter 933: All Talk And No Action

During the last two weeks, Yvonne had faced punishment for acting without informing her parents, causing them to get worried for her sake.

Therefore, this time she decided to do just what they were expecting of her.

When the punishment period ended, she and Knox along with Jax had been asked to appear in a certain room of their mansion.

Upon reaching this room, she found the warm air soothing as she took her seat on an empty couch and found her cousin occupying the seat next to her.

Jax stood behind them so right now, these three individuals were facing the rest who had been involved in punishing them two weeks ago.

Right after the King’s birthday celebrations, numerous noble ladies had organized tea parties and other such events mostly to discuss what they had witnessed during that grand event.

Some gossiped about the gifts brought for the King while others mentioned the sudden appearance of a gift sent from CLOVER’s mysterious owner.

.....

Though Yvonne had not attended even a single party, she was aware of how the nobles were reacting to the King’s celebration thanks to her tutor who filled her in on all the essential details.

Marquess Samed was the best person to approach if one wished to learn about any kind of juicy gossip circulating in the noble society.

Since she had such a handy tool in her arsenal, the young girl had let him do all the work, only waiting to hear the information he had put together for her later on.

Thus she was well aware of everything taking place though she had not set foot outside her room these past few weeks.

‘Well I should be grateful for being punished...’ Yvonne added in her heart as she sneaked a peek at her father.

Had it not been for his stern ways of wanting to teach her a lesson then it was undeniable that she too would have been dragged to these parties by her mother against her wishes.

It was his punishment that gave her the perfect excuse to not attend these parties which would have drained her vitality had she been forced to accompany her mother these last few days.

Therefore, discovering this silver lining to her punishment, Yvonne was no longer as miffed as she had been the previous times she was punished by her father for whatever reason.

The punishment had worked in her favor so she chose to put this matter in the past and move on to what she had come here to accomplish.

“Mama, Papa, I have something to say.” She broke the silence that had pervaded the entire room ever since the three of them had arrived here.

Grandpa Valente and Roman became silent spectators the moment these words escaped the child’s lips while the St. Claire couple nodded their heads to indicate that she had their entire attention.

Receiving this positive reply, Yvonne cleared her throat and got straight to the point.

“CLOVER will be moving to its next phase now that my punishment has come to an end.” She announced her plans while also scowling a little when she uttered the latter half of her statement.



Though Rutherford and Raylene could discern the bitterness in her voice, they only found it cute and thus did not take it to heart.

Instead, they were curious to know what their sulking child had in mind for this next phase that she had decided to put into action.



???????????????? ???????????????????????????? ???????????????????????? ???????????????????? ???????? ????????????????????-????????????.????????????

Yvonne wished to roll her eyes inwardly but chose to rather focus her energy on a different matter right now.

Thus she turned and fixed her gaze on her mother before smiling brilliantly.

“I will be needing Mama’s help for this part.” She revealed and saw her mother tilt her head in confusion.

Until now, Raylene had not been too involved with any of CLOVER’s core activities.

Therefore, it was natural for her to be bewildered when out of nowhere her assistance was required for a certain matter.

Nevertheless, the proud mother was more than willing to help out and hence nodded her head in acceptance of whatever her child wished for her to do.

Yvonne smiled once again when she noticed that she would not have to work too hard to persuade her mother.

This would make it easy for them to move to their crucial discussion and that was exactly what the child did.

In the next few minutes, the little girl explained what she expected her mother to do for CLOVER’s sake and was glad that Raylene did not object.

“This much is easy for me to do.” The Countess even boasted with her nose turned to the sky, confident and determined to help her child out.

Watching this scene, Grandpa Valente chuckled and wished to pat his daughter’s adorable head but scowled when he saw the frozen face of his son-in-law who blocked his path.

This made the old man glare at the man built like a mountain but sadly these leers had no effect on the one they were being aimed at.

After all, Rutherford’s sole attention was on his child who was only conversing with his beloved wife.

Ever since Yvonne had revealed her plans for what was to come, she had been discussing how they would achieve it with Raylene, and not once had she looked in his direction, making his lips curl downward.

“What can Papa do to help, Vonna?” He inquired after reaching the end of his patience.

He too wished to help her out but had not been asked to do anything so he decided to take the initiative for once.

However, who would have thought that all he received was a business smile from his child who simply shook her head in rejection of his offer.

“Papa can do what he had been doing until now.” Yvonne smiled when she finally turned in his direction after having ignored him until now.

“Nothing at all~” She even drawled out her words, making the tall man flinch.

Her words and the sardonic smile reminded him of the fact that he had ignored the rumors around CLOVER earlier while she was undergoing her punishment period.

He could have ended her confinement which would give her the chance to deal with these rumors about CLOVER’s drooping reputation but he had done nothing of that sort.

Therefore, right now, Yvonne chose to display that she knew of his inaction and would help him maintain his neutral stance for longer.

‘Hmph!’ She harrumphed inwardly at him when she thought of the damage the reputation of her brainchild, CLOVER, had sustained due to the punishment she had been given.

While she was glad that she did not have to attend those tedious parties due to the punishment, she could not ignore that her father’s stern ways had led CLOVER to gain a bad name.

Right now, people were calling CLOVER a coward who had backed away after realizing that there was immense pressure to be profitable or even be good enough to enter the noble market.

CLOVER’s silence until now further strengthened these rumors, making people believe that the new business was all talk and no action.

Thinking of the reports she had received from her tutor who even snickered while revealing what the noble families were gossiping about, Yvonne narrowed her eyes in displeasure.

However, right now, she did not wish to drown in fury but was waiting to see how these same nobles would react when CLOVER reappeared after its brief break.

“But we cannot rush to introduce our products.” She muttered to herself before reverting her attention on the matter at hand.

CLOVER would follow the marketing module that she had come up with and to ensure its efficacy, she needed her mother’s assistance.

“I’ll be counting on you, Mama.” She reminded the woman sitting opposite her with a stern look in her eyes.

Raylene straightened her back when she noticed this sight whereas Rutherford, who was once again ignored, sighed after realizing that he was paying for what he had done.

He was trying to teach his child about the consequences of one’s actions so right now, he could only face the consequence of what he had allowed to happen while she was in her confinement period.

Therefore, he sat in silence as the pair of mother and child went back to revising what they had discussed earlier.

“I will be meeting Sevenz tomorrow.” Yvonne declared just when the family was about to head to the Dining Hall.

Butler Limo had arrived to inform that lunch was ready to be served so the family had decided to head out for now.

Yvonne had completed what she had to discuss with her parents so she did not mind when they were interrupted.

However, just when they were about to leave the room, she recalled someone whom she had not seen for quite a while.

She needed to discuss certain matters with the owner of CLOVER’s official distribution partner.

Therefore, she had revealed to her family that she would be busy tomorrow.

Raylene would be heading out to commence the task she had received so the young girl also needed to do her part in what she was hoping to achieve.

Hence she disclosed her plans while informing the other person of her intentions through the use of the mental link between their etchers.

‘You finally remember that I exist!?’ A loud scowl echoed in her mind, making the child grimace while shaking her head as this person had not changed one bit in the last few years that she had been acquainted with him.
