Chapter 72: Good Acting

“Is that rascal back?” Janna Sands’ voice came from the kitchen.

Yvette Quinn hurried to the kitchen door. “It’s William. Auntie, you don’t have to cook so much. There is too much food.”

“It’s fine, it’s fine. This fish and tofu stew has to be stewed for a while longer. Then the taste of the tofu would be better. If the time is too short, it won’t be delicious. I’ll cook two more dishes in that case. Don’t worry about me. Go have a chat with William. When the food is ready, I’ll call you both.”

Yvette Quinn didn’t insist. She returned to the living room and sat beside William Scott. He asked, “How was it? Did you encounter any trouble the past two days?”

At this moment, a bitter expression appeared on Yvette Quinn’s face. She really didn’t know how long it had been since she had revealed such an expression. Be it in front of her subordinates or others, she, as their superior, was not allowed to display such an expression.

“It’s all your fault. Not only did Director Woods insist we repay the loan, but he also contacted other banks and stopped them from giving me a loan.”

William Scott frowned and said, “Does Charles Woods have such great influence?”

“Yeah, he has a backer. He may only be a bank credit director, but because of his backer, everyone has to respect him.”

William Scott snorted and said, “Then he’s probably making requests of you now, right?”

“He told me to apologize to him in person together with you. And then he will decide what to do after he assesses how sincere we were,” Yvette Quinn said.

He sneered and said, “He really is that shameless and bold.”

Yvette Quinn smiled bitterly and said, “My future lies in his hands now. He knows too well that if I can’t find a loan, my company’s liquidity will instantly be affected. The company’s operations will also be in trouble. The losses every day would be substantial.”

He looked at her. “So what do you intend to do?”

......

At this moment, Yvette Quinn actually chuckled and said, “Ignore him. Just like you said, no matter what, I won’t agree to his request. I won’t betray myself. The outcome is already decided. So why do I have to beg him for the loan extension? If I have the time, I might as well think of another solution.”

William Scott looked at her, as he narrowed his eyes and said, “Let’s meet him the night after tomorrow.”

“Huh?” Yvette Quinn’s eyes widened.

He said calmly, “Arrange to meet him the day after tomorrow. We’ll settle everything then.”

“Settle it? How? You have a solution?” Yvette Quinn was even more shocked.

William Scott said calmly, “Yes, by giving a scumbag some leeway, he went overboard. He really doesn’t know his place.”

Yvette Quinn felt a chill running down her spine from his calm tone. She couldn’t help but size him up again. Then she said softly, “This is my company’s matters. If an alternative solution is needed, we should not resort to underhanded means. Don’t resolve it in a personal way.”

“Don’t worry, I won’t beat him up. I’ll just settle it legally. Come, let’s go and eat. The fish soup today is really fresh.”

Yvette Quinn knew that William Scott didn’t want to reveal anything, which made her feel a little curious. In addition, she was quite skeptical. Charles Woods’ background was really powerful. Otherwise, how could he, a credit director, be able to influence so many banks?

However, looking at his confident expression, she had no choice but to believe him. Even though she had not spent much time with him, she could tell that this guy really meant what he had promised. If he promise to solve it, he could probably do it.

“Come, Yvette, try my fish soup. I wonder if it suits your taste?” Sitting at the dining table, Janna Sands scooped a bowl of fish soup for her and looked at her expectantly.

Yvette Quinn took a small sip of the fish soup and then ate a small piece of tofu. She nodded repeatedly and said, “This fish soup is really fresh. The tofu is also filled with the freshness of the fish. It’s simply too yummy.”

“Really? I was afraid that you wouldn’t like it.” Janna Sands’ eyes lit up.

“It’s really too delicious. It’s better than any of the salmon stew with tofu I’ve eaten before.” As she spoke, she kept drinking the soup and eating the tofu. Her words were a little muffled.

Regardless of whether Yvette Quinn’s words were exaggerated or not, from her expression, that was already the greatest compliment for Janna Sands.

Janna Sands immediately beamed. She really liked Yvette Quinn. This was not just any ordinary feeling. It was really the satisfaction and fondness a mother-in-law had for her future daughter-in-law.

“Mom, you’re too biased. Why didn’t you scoop a bowl for me?” William Scott deliberately complained to regulate the atmosphere.

Before his mother could do anything, Yvette Quinn had already picked up his bowl and scooped some soup for him. “William, I’m so envious of you. You’ve been eating your mom’s food since you were young.”

“Pfft!” William Scott glared at her and said, “Yvette, you have no idea. My mom usually doesn’t put in so much effort when cooking. She always cooks with little effort for my dad and me. I can only say that she’s an average cook.”

Janna Sands glared at him and said, “Rascal, I’ve served you for so many years, and you’re still not satisfied. If Yvette doesn’t come over in the future, you can forget about eating my food.”

“Am I wrong? Let me tell you something, Yvette. Don’t assume you’ll be able to eat such a feast all the time. Mom will treat you the same way as time passes.”

“Yvette is not you. How can you compare her to two crude men? No matter how hard I work, both of you just eat with your heads lowered. None of you have ever praised me. It’s already good enough that I can continue to cook for you.”

Yvette Quinn burst out laughing as she watched William Scott and his mother banter. Such a family atmosphere would never exist in her home. Her parents had always been rule-abiding. At the dinner table, they rarely spoke, let alone joked around.

Suddenly wanting to fit into their family, Yvette Quinn said, “Auntie, you did the right thing. For people who don’t appreciate it, we really can’t spoil them.”

Janna Sands was overjoyed and quipped happily, “Yvette, in the future, we’ll be on the same team. Otherwise, these two will always make me angry. Now, it’s at least two against two. It’s a tie.”

Yvette Quinn chuckled. “Auntie, you should handle your husband. I can still deal with William.”

Seeing Yvette Quinn and his mother laughing away happily, William Scott was a little stunned. Why did it feel like they were really a family? Her acting skills were really good.
