Chapter 152 She Called Me What Now
Sure enough, it wasn’t long before the elevator doors slid open. Wyatt stepped out in his pajamas and turned on the lights in
the hall
The girl immediately threw herself at him like she was planning to take him down by force.
Wyatt frowned and said coldly. “Stop”
She barely managed to halt in time, pointing pitifully behind her. “Wyatt, there’s an intruder in your room!”
Just then. Yunice stepped out, wrapped in a robe.
The girl pointed accusingly. “It’s her! She even dared to sleep in your bed–she’s completely shameless!”
Yunice had been sleeping on the first floor, his room was on the third. How could I possibly have ended up in his bed?
Wyatt glanced at Yunice, then looked back at the girl. “Don’t talk nonsense. That’s your sister–in–law.”
“Sister–in–law?” The girl’s delicate expression began to crack like porcelain, as if she couldn’t process the news.
Wyatt stepped around her and said. “You didn’t hear I was getting married?”
The girl spun around to keep up with him, practically in tears. “But I heard it was fake–that you were just doing it to make Mr. Jackson happy. How could you let her stay in Pavilion Hall”

Adopted? Must’ve been recent. I’ve never heard of her before. Yunice thought
Some elite families adopted orphaned girls to strengthen alliances through marriage, but Elianna seemed a little too interested in the nearest eligible man..
Without missing a beat, Yunice extended a hand toward her. “Nice to meet you. I’m Yunice.”
“Why’s your name Yunice too…” Elianna muttered under her breath, but still, shook her hand.
That one comment told Yunice everything she needed to know–Elianna didn’t know much about the Powell family and had clearly been sidelined.
