Passionate Devotion: Master Fudd's Beloved Wife novel Chapter 86

Verian Mont received a phone call from Heaton Fudd when she had just arrived at the company.

That man’s charmingly attractive voice echoed through the other end of the phone...

“Why didn’t you reply to my text last night?”

Verian Mont bit her lips and pretended as if nothing happened. “Oh, I fell asleep last night and my phone’s been switched off so I forgot to reply to your text.”

Heaton Fudd did not probe further. “Come to the hospital after work later tonight.”

Verian Mont treated it as paying a visit to the old man as she replied monotonous, “Okay.”

“If there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up the call first. I still have work to do.”

“Okay.”

Heaton Fudd gave a simple reply and as he was just about to hang up the call, Verian Mont suddenly spoke up, “That’s right… have you had breakfast yet?”

“No.”

“Okay.”

He actually did not have breakfast. Upon thinking about the breakfast she tossed into the bin, Verian Mont suddenly felt guilty.

What if Little Jelly Bean asked her if she had delivered breakfast to his father when she was home later tonight? How could she have the heart to lie to the little rascal?

The breakfast that was tossed away was nothing more than her tiny irrational revenge toward Heaton Fudd.

Heaton Fudd teased her on the other end of the call. “I actually thought you’d send me breakfast filled with love when you asked me this.”

“Who... who wants to send you a love-filled breakfast? I’ll hang up now.”

Verian Mont frantically hung up the call.

It was only when Nancy Xander was looking for an original artist did Verian Mont remember the competition held by the Yash Company.

She absolutely wished to participate in the Yash Company’s competition. It was not only due to the monetary prize’s temptation but it was also because it would be a huge help for her if she wanted to be an independent artist in future. She had to give it a shot.

However, Nancy Xander intentionally did not allow her to participate in it.

Would she actually beg for Heaton Fudd’s help?

If Heaton Fudd would not help her, it would be even more awful for her.

If he refused to help her, she would feel awful. If he did, Nancy Xander would mock her.

Supporting her chin with her hand, Verian Mont was lost in her thoughts. Suddenly, her phone started to ring.

The caller I.D showed that it was from Yanni Quain.

She was stunned for a couple seconds since she never expected Yanni Quain to call her.

She picked up the call…

“Miss Mont, you’re too modest. That car is a gift from me to you and I know that you’re close to Heaton Fudd but by cashing in eight hundred thousand dollars to me is actually really sad.”

She was unsure why she could hear the warmth and love from that sentence. However, Yanni Quain was Guin Yellen's boyfriend and Guin Yellen happened to be her best friend. Not to mention, Yanni Quain had not even the slightest feelings for her. Even if he did, she could not have any relationships with that Yanni Quain behind Guin Yellen’s back.

“Mr. Quain, does Guinnie know about you giving me a car?”

“So what if she does and so what if she doesn’t.”

Verian Mont spoke in a cold tone, “Mr. Quain, Guinnie loves you very much and if you truly want to be her boyfriend, appreciate her then.”

Yanni Quain chuckled lightly, “Miss Mont, you wouldn’t think I have feelings for you, right?”

Verian Mont was stunned as she was completely speechless. “That’s not what I meant. I just feel like you, as Guinnie’s boyfriend shouldn’t give away cars so casually to other girls, especially when you’re with my best friend. Even if you have no feelings for me, if Guinnie knew about it, she might misunderstand the whole situation.”

Yanni Quain never took it to heart as he changed topics. “I heard you’re working in Fudd Group. You’re working on art?”

Verian Mont only met Yanni Quain a couple of times and he had already researched her thoroughly.

There were very few major families in all of North City. Yash Company happened to be a major film company that was established a few years ago. The Fudd Group mainly focussed on the international market meaning that they were involved in various sectors, meanwhile the Yash Company focused mainly on film production. Although it’s market value was not even close to competing with Fudd Group, most film companies in North City would still desperately do anything just to collaborate with Yash Company.

There were very few reputable people whose first name was Quain in the entirety of North City.

That person whose name was Quain could not be Yanni Quain right?

Verian Mont frowned. “I don’t know why the Yash Company would specifically request for me to participate in this competition.”

“You don’t know? Stop playing dumb! Verian Mont, you sure are something. An abandoned lady that has fallen from grace could gradually cling onto Heaton Fudd and seduce Bodd Yellen at the same time. How did you manage to cling onto President Quain of the Yash Company? Don’t you say that I am judging your life for being disorderly. I am telling you that your life actually is disorderly.”

“Nancy Xander, although you’re my boss, that doesn’t mean you can simply insult me without any evidence!”

Nancy Xander scoffed. She mocked her while hugging onto her arm. “Evidence? What kind of evidence would you still require? There are already human witnesses. Best you come clean now. How many times have you slept with President Quain of the Yash Company? Or else, why would someone else’s assistant personally call me to look out for you?!”

“I’ve never! I’m innocent and I know it! It’s fine to speculate all you want!”

Verian Mont turned around and was about to leave the office. Sinister schemes flashed across the corner of Nancy Xander’s eyes as she leaned against her swivel chair and spoke in a dissatisfied tone, “Weren’t you obsessed with participating in this competition? Your opportunity’s here now and you’re certain you want to give up this opportunity?”

Verian Mont clenched her fists. “I will participate in this competition.”

“Best for you to not let me down.”

…

In order to make sure if that President Quain was Yanni Quain, Verian Mont sent Guin Yellen a WeChat text.

“Guinnie, I left hurriedly back then and didn’t get the chance to ask you. What does your boyfriend do for a living?”

Guin Yellen replied, “He works in the film industry. Why?”

Verian Mont was speechless. That was actually Yanni Quain!

However, what exactly was Yanni Quain up to!

It was all thanks to him that she was now able to openly participate in this competition. She did not care about what exactly Yanni Quain’s motive was for now. She was quite surprised to be able to participate in this competition.
