Chapter 135 Don’t Make Me Wait
Gilbert and Max worked quickly. The moment their partnership was confirmed, they eagerly began
attacking the Dickmans. They were so fast that the Dickmans had no time to curate a proper response.
In the president’s office in Dickman LLC, Yvonne stood politely before the table and looked at the middle-
aged man behind the desk. He was berating her, and she dared not retort.
“Yvonne, you’re my daughter. You should know the pressure that I’m bearing, having you in your
position. My subordinates are all accusing me of letting you in through my connections. You must work
harder.” The man who was speaking was her father, George Dickman.
Yvonne nodded her head quickly. She looked apologetic. “I’m sorry, father. I’ve disappointed you.”
“Indeed, you have.” George’s face was ice cold. He stared at her for a long while before saying, “But not
because of the problems that we’ve encountered today, but rather, because of your future marriage.”

“The Bloom family’s son isn’t too bad. You should give it a try,” George said.
Yvonne kept her head low. She didn’t want the man before her to see the hatred in her eyes. “Dad, I
already have someone I like.”
“Alec Faust, am I right? I know.” George smiled lightly. “Everyone in Parrington knows, but what’s the
use? Does he like you back? All this while, you’ve wasted too much time on him. If the Dickmans run into
trouble, you know what to do.”
Yvonne’s face turned pale. She looked at her father in disbelief. “Dad, we’ve run into some problems
now, but surely that doesn’t mean we need to arrange a marriage?”
“The Pearsons and that boy Gilbert are coming on strong. Although we’re powerful, we should be on our
guard.” He looked at his daughter gravely.
Yvonne was silent. George continued, “The Blooms have spoken. If you marry into their family, they will
help us counter those two families. With their support, we might even take down Gilbert and the
Pearsons.”
Yvonne understood all this, but she could not accept it.
She was his daughter. She was a living, breathing human being. How could she be traded off like
property?
She always thought that as long as she worked hard, her talents would be recognized. But now she
understood that she had been naive.
She was still dwelling on her plan at first, but now, she had made her decision.
Since he cared about his useless son so much, she would kill him off and see how he reacted!
“Yvonne?” George looked upset when he saw that his daughter was silent.
“I understand, father.” She nodded, not arguing.
George was satisfied. This was the daughter he wanted. “That’s good. Pay more attention to the

“And the company…
“That’s not your concern. I have already told Steven to help. You need only to settle things between us
and the Blooms,” he said.
Could Steven, that useless bastard, be of help? Yvonne thought it was hilarious. But of course, she did

laugh, merely lowering her head.
“You can go now. Don’t keep me waiting. The Dickmans cannot be kept waiting.” George ordered.
Yvonne turned and left the office. The moment she stepped out, her face turned cold.
She looked back at the office, her gaze turning venomous.
“Are you free, Steven? I have something great to share with you,” she said, talking to Steven over the
phone.
