Chapter 752 Targeting Yvette
I glanced at Naomi and sighed, knowing I had no choice but to return to the company this time.
Thankfully, I’d recovered well over the past few days and felt much better than before. After giving the nurse some instructions to take care of Naomi, I headed straight the office.

As soon as I arrived at the office, I called everyone in for a company meeting.
The team quickly perked up, all looking at me with anticipation.
“I know things are tough right now, but Naomi’s hurt, and we can’t fight at full strength right now. So, we need to focus on protecting what we have. If we can just hold onto Yvette’s luxury endorsement, I’ll deal with the rest later.”
Then I stood up and gave the team a motivational talk, which boosted their enthusiasm for work.
But the good times didn’t last. Right after the meeting, bad news came in that Yvette’s luxury endorsement had been snatched away too.
“This is just too much,” I muttered, staring at the data on the screen. One company was rising fast- Connor’s.
I frowned.
He was the one constantly going against Starplay, competing for resources.
We had already secured that deal, but he swooped in, raised the price, and snatched it away.
Technically, it was understandable. In this industry, money talks. Whoever offered more got the deal. But his tactics were downright disgusting.
I stared at the screen and rubbed my temples. Shameless people like him really gave me a headache.
Connor’s POV:
I swirled the glass in my hand, took a sip, and scrolled through the screen with my mouse.
I had to admit that Rosaline had a sharp eye. Just a few key resources had already brought my company a wave of profit.
Now that my entertainment company had just gone public, the only real competitor was Starplay.
Which meant that any resources they were after would also be a perfect fit for us.
Just as expected, aside from the higher price, it was all gain and no loss.
Still, it wasn’t enough. I knew what Rosaline was capable of.
I’d just been notified she was back at the company. That meant she’d be coming at me with everything she
had.
I swirled the wine in my glass Time to quickly come up with a new strategy.
I typed a URL into the computer, and within moments, the full list of Starplay employees was sent to my

inbox.
Tapping the bridge of my nose, I quickly sifted through the data on the screen.
Eventually, my eyes landed on one particular girl.
“Yvette,” I inurmured under my breath.
Yvette was a newcomer but incredibly talented. Her debut song was a huge hit.
What I found most interesting was that in Yvette’s photos, her red eyes looked as innocent as a little white rabbit’s.
I took another sip of wine. She would be my next target.
Yvette’s POV:
That morning, I had just arrived at the office when I got a text from an unknown number.
“5 p.m. Coffee shop by the office. It’s about Naomi. You must come!”
I stared at the message, confused. I tried calling to see who it was, but the number was already turned off.
Naomi’s face at the hospital was still fresh in my mind, and I couldn’t stop worrying. So after work, without thinking too much, I grabbed my bag and headed over.
When I got to the coffee shop, it was completely empty. Confused, I looked around until I spotted a werewolf sitting in the corner.
“You’re the one who called me here?” I asked in a low voice as I walked over.
The werewolf turned and smiled wickedly. “You came.”
That smile sent a chill down my spine, but for Naomi’s sake, I forced myself to sit down.
“I’m Naomi’s brother. I heard about what happened to my sister recently. Is it because of your boss?” The werewolf in front of me wore glasses that hid his sharp, intense eyes, making it hard for me to read his thoughts.
“You’ve got it wrong. Our boss didn’t do anything.” I quickly denied it.
“Hope you’ll tell me what really happened. If not, I’ll have my sister quit right away.” The werewolf suddenly changed his demeanor, his face turning fierce.
“I–I don’t know,” I stammered, feeling the pressure. Then, remembering Rosaline’s warning, Nowered my head, avoiding the man’s gaze.
“Answer me properly,” he growled, standing up and slowly closing the distance between us.
“I… “I started to speak but was interrupted by a voice calling out.
“Yvette!”
I turned abruptly and saw Byron hurriedly walking toward me.

That snapped me back to reality. I realized the werewolf was just inches away. I couldn’t help but cream. and push him away with all my strength.
But I pushed too hard, and with no support behind me, I lost my balance and began to fall backward whil pushing him.
Just when I thought I was about to crash into the ground, I found myself caught in a warm embrace.
l’opened my eyes to find Byron holding me tightly.
“You!”
My face blushed with embarrassment, and I quickly covered it with my hands.
Byron helped me up and stood protectively in front of me, asking the werewolf, “Who are you?”
