Chapter 771

However, Jonah had good intentions. So Steven replied in superficial courtesy, "Thank you, General Lewis, but I already have a master and I dare not betray him. "Besides, Ms. Quarry invited me here today, and we have something to discuss." Jonah knew that Steven was politely rejecting him, but what master could compare to him? However, everyone had their own secrets. Steven didn't want to say anymore and Jonah didn't press for details. Jonah looked at Yvonne and Steven with interest and suddenly smiled knowingly. "Then I won't disturb you two youngins. Take your time talking!" Yvonne's face turned red. She wanted to explain to Jonah, "It's not what you think! There's nothing going on between me and Steven!" But before she could say a word, Jonah had already left with Keaton and the rest of Yvonne's men. He even asked Keaton to close the door behind them! Yvonne was furious, and her face darkened. No matter what she said, she couldn't clear her name! Now, only Steven and Yvonne were left in the room. Steven sat down and looked at Yvonne with a teasing half-smile. "I say, Ms. Quarry, since this happened on your turf, shouldn't you compensate me?" The next moment, Steven slammed his hand on the table furiously. "Why are you covering yourself? Who are you protecting yourself against?" Yvonne was holding her shirt collar together, watching him vigilantly. There were only two of them here! Who the fuck was she trying to hide from? She looked at him like he was some kind of pervert! Was it that obvious that he was a pervert? Yvonne sneered coldly. "How many women have you been with? Don't you know? You're like a legend in Levix City. You're known as the playboy of Levix City! What respectable woman wouldn't be cautious around you?" Steven was fuming. "Who spread those rumors about me? What playboy of Levix City? You'd better explain yourself!" Steven was really upset. He was in Levix City daily but had no idea he had such a nickname! If he became the Master Sage of Medicine in the future and someone dug into his history, wouldn't he end up with the nickname "Homewrecking Master Sage of Medicine?" Yvonne coldly said, "Should I list them all down? Ruby Jimenez, Winona Strauss, Wanda Collins, and Jessie Carter—who was someone's fiancé…" "Stop, stop… stop!" Steven's mouth twitched as he weakly stopped Yvonne from continuing. It seemed that nothing in life was free. One day, he'd have to pay for his reputation. Yvonne sat far away from Steven, cautiously saying, "I'm already betrothed, so don't get any ideas about me!" She considered herself a quite conservative wife, so she had to be wary of Steven. It seemed like married women were tempting to him. "I got it." Steven was completely speechless. "Let's talk. What do you want in return for telling me about my dad?" Yvonne finally relaxed a little, but after a moment of hesitation, she said, "I don't want anything in return. Just consider it a favor from the Quarrys." "Huh?" Steven was stunned and looked at her in surprise. Was she high? She had been eager to make him her servant before. But now that she had the chance to ask for something in return, she didn't want anything? "The Quarrys aren't that petty," she replied casually. Initially, after talking with Zane, she had planned to use this information in exchange for something. But after seeing his interaction with Jonah, she suddenly changed her mind. This decision was somewhat impulsive. After all, Jonah couldn't always protect Steven. And with Steven's character and all the enemies he had made, it wouldn't be surprising if someone managed to set him up and kill him.
