A Life Beyond Limits (Jack Holland) novel Chapter 1016

Jett led Jack and Elias into the study, where a striking woman stood waiting. It was Yolanda Gould, whom Jack had met once before.

Yolanda was more than just beautiful. Born into an elite family, she exuded natural confidence and pride. Once she formed an opinion about someone, it rarely changed.

She met Jack once at a banquet. Due to his lack of familiarity with yachts, horse racing, luxury cars, or designer brands, Yolanda was left thoroughly unimpressed. Just associating with him felt like an insult.

Hence, Yolanda was furious to learn that Jack was here to persuade Jett to abandon the Roes and Trevells and support the Carpenter family. That was akin to becoming the enemy of the entire upper class. Yolanda saw that as a dangerous move for the Gould family.

Patrick was a rising star known as the "Prince of Tarthy City". He was favored by Winona Cadwallader, the daughter of the soon-to-be mayor, and also admired by the daughter of the Dwarven Sea Clan, the most powerful clan in Tarthy City's underground world.

With backing from both the city's political elite and its criminal underworld, Patrick had effectively bridged both sides of the power structure. The Trevells and Roes also followed his lead. Other prominent families and influential figures in Tarthy City gradually aligned themselves with his faction.

If the Gould family went against Patrick, that would mean opposing the social and political order of the city. The consequences would be disastrous.

Yolanda saw the situation with absolute clarity. She hoped Jett would side with the Trevells and Roes.

It wasn't just about assessing the Carpenter and Lycan families' influence. It was personal, too.

As the daughter of an elite family, Yolanda had long admired Patrick. She'd always wished she could do something for him, even if he never knew.

So, when Jack arrived with Elias to ask Jett to side with the Carpenters and take a stand against the rising tide of the Trevells and Carpenters, Yolanda was the first to protest.
