Chapter 194 Scent of Distrust

Yunice flinched instinctively and stepped back to distance herself from them.

Taylor merely glanced at her coolly and said, “Relax. I’m not here to slap you.”

Paul had taken a full–force slap to the face. For a second, he was stunned. Then he turned his head, rage flashing in his eyes.

Taylor, however, remained completely unfazed. With arms crossed, she said coldly. “As long as you’re with me, you’d better cut the cheating crap. Otherwise, I’ve got plenty more slaps where

that came from.

“You wouldn’t dare!” he growled.

Taylor scoffed. “I’ve got the Kendall family behind me. What, you think I’m gonna put up with you like your last doormat did?”

She gave him a dismissive look. “If you’ve got a problem with that, keep it to yourself.”

Yunice barely stifled a smile–just a small twitch of her lips. But Paul caught it and immediately snapped, “She was the one seducing me.”

Taylor raised a brow. “Really? In the gynecology department?”

She rolled her eyes. The sight of him was enough to make her sick.

She turned and shot a glance at Yunice. “That perfume’s so strong it’s choking. A man who spends all his brainpower on scheming against women–no wonder you’re a failure.”

Yunice didn’t even wear perfume–but now that Taylor pointed it out, she did smell something

on herself.

It was Paul’s cologne.

Paul’s face darkened. He thought he’d hidden it well. Clearly, Taylor had seen right through him.

Taylor stormed off without another word. Paul followed, fuming.

Once they were alone, she snapped, “You’re a disgrace. We’re in the same damn boat now. Do me a favor–try using what little brain you have on the business war ahead, and maybe I’ll think a little better of you

Paul glared. “I don’t need you to teach me.”

Taylor stopped, turned, and looked him dead in the eye. “If you keep screwing around, there won’t even be a Powell family left. Just wait till the wedding–you’ll see.”

Paul frowned. He didn’t understand what she was hinting at. What did she know that he didit?

Still, she couldn’t help grumbling to herself. Just because you be got long legs doesn’t mean you have to

walk like a racehorse…

Back home, Yunice took a long shower and changed into clean clothes. The only scent left on her was fresh soap.

The moment she got into Wyatt’s car, the faint aroma of her shampoo and steam clung to the air.

Wyatt’s lashes flickered slightly. The air reminded him of early morning after a night together.

He quickly shut down that line of thought, closed his laptop, and turned to her. “Come to an

event with me?”

Yunice blinked. “Huh?”

Wyatt, for once, didn’t hold back. “You’ve heard about the land zoning plans in Northvale, right?

Of course she had. It wasn’t exactly a secret. Rumor had it they were planning to build a major hospital there. Once it was complete, the entire economy of Northvale would take off.
