Chapter 757

Steven started the car, eager to establish a deeper relationship with Jilian. But just then, his phone rang. The caller ID displayed Yvonne's name. Jillian noticed and gave Steven a resentful look. "Why is she calling you? Don't tell me you two are…" Now that they were in Southbury, she had thought Steven was all hers. But there was always someone else chasing after him! How annoying! She really wanted to invite him to spend an intimate night together. "Don't overthink it. We're enemies," Steven reassured, patting her hand while pulling her into his arms. As Jillian gasped in surprise, Steven's hand slipped inside her tank top. Jillian's face turned bright red, and she let out a soft moan. Meanwhile, Steven smiled faintly and answered the phone. "What's up, Ms. Quarry? How come you're calling me?" On the other end of the line, Yvonne spoke with a calm voice. "Where are you? Wait, what are you doing right now?" It sounded like she had overheard Jillian's soft moans and was now a bit annoyed. "Just licking ice cream. If you have something to say, say it," Steven replied, rolling his eyes. "You!" Yvonne took a deep breath to suppress her anger. "Leave that woman behind and come to the hotel I'm staying at. I need to talk to you." A hotel? Steven smiled indifferently. "Ms. Quarry, it's the middle of the night. Are you asking me to come to your hotel for a feast?" Yvonne was confused. "What are you talking about?" Steven was slightly displeased by her lack of understanding. He rephrased and said, "Are you offering yourself to me now?" There was a pause on the other end before Yvonne responded. "What if I am?" Steven was slightly taken aback. He tightened his grip, causing Jillian to gasp again. Yvonne's voice grew firm with frustration. "You'd better come here now! Time is running out!" Steven scratched his chin thoughtfully. Considering Zane's change of attitude, it seemed possible he was trying to recruit him as a son-in-law. If the family couldn't win him over through force, they might try to trap him in an arranged marriage with a beauty. It was a common tactic among wealthy families. Now that he had cured Jonah, he had gained some leverage with these powerful families. The question was, which woman should he choose? Yvonne or Jillian? It was a tough decision! While Steven was caught in this dilemma, Yvonne's calm voice spoke again. "I heard you're investigating the truth behind your father's death. I might have some leads. The previous Justice Minister happens to be from my family. Someone had asked him to handle this matter, but he turned them down." Hearing this, Steven's eyes narrowed. "What's the catch?" Knowing the Quarry family, they wouldn't do anything without strings attached. "You," Yvonne replied indifferently. "Don't get ahead of yourself, you pervert! I'm not the type to sell myself for information!" Steven snapped, annoyed. Yvonne was practically a predator, even eyeing his body! All he wanted was the truth about his father's death, but she wanted him in her bed as compensation? How did she even hear about his impressive "tool?" "Shut up! I only want to cooperate with you, nothing else! I'm already engaged, so don't get any ideas!" As an heiress from a prestigious family, she usually wasn't this blunt. Yet Steven had truly pushed her buttons. He was making her look like some sort of desperate rich woman. "Rich people have nothing but trouble. You're definitely up to no good..." Steven sneered. Yvonne let out a cold laugh. "Don't forget, you're a rich man now too." Steven took a sharp breath. Yvonne was sharp-tongued and clever!
