Chapter 445: Chapter 445: If You Like Her, Pursue Her
Lynn Yates chuckled softly.
But the laugh was more of a cold scoff, and Clara Yates stiffened slightly: "What are you laughing at?!"
"Nothing, just think your ideas are a bit naive." Lynn turned the steering wheel, "You followed me just to say this?"
Clara was a bit flustered, "What do you mean by naive? Are you saying I’m wrong? Tangling with James Grant like this, do you think people outside don’t have eyes? There’s a rumor going around that James is devoted to Evelyn Clayton, but you refuse to let go... That’s the mild version, I haven’t said the worse ones yet!"
Lynn laughed leisurely: "Did all their talk stop me from earning a penny?"
At this point, Lynn seemed a bit hesitant, "And recently, because of the rumors about me, James Grant, and Evelyn Clayton, the stock price of The Yates Group increased. I even made more money."
She glanced at Clara with a smile, "Or where do you think the money for the bags I bought for mom and you recently came from?"
Clara was taken aback, then her face flushed red, she turned her face away in anger.
"I can’t reason with you; all you think about is making money!"
A shadow flickered in Lynn’s eyes.
Indeed, she thought about nothing but making money.
As for James Grant...
Clara had always been curious whether she ever liked James Grant.
Perhaps she did.
An accomplished man, with an outstanding appearance, from a similarly wealthy family, felt like a tailor-made partner for her.
But what use is it to like someone?
Hmm, that’s the most useless thing.
For instance, a long time ago, probably when she and James Grant first got engaged.
She very briefly hoped for a moment that maybe James Grant would be hers.
But soon, reality shattered that hope.
Lynn Yates never thought about it again.
"Stop stalking me, and don’t tell mom and dad about my affairs." Lynn glanced at Clara Yates, "Otherwise, I’ll tell mom that from now on your allowance will be issued by me, and how much you get will depend on my mood."
Clara was taken aback, then erupted in anger: "You—"
Lynn chuckled, eyes full of teasing triumph at successfully provoking her sister.

The next day, Keith Donovan made another trip to Harvestide Holdings.
This time it was about a new project, Keith barely caught his breath while holding the documents, entering the office with a grievance that could sink a ghost ship.
"You said yesterday I should rest!" Keith grumbled, "And today you’re ordering me around!"
James Grant rarely showed a hint of apology, "This is the last time; you can go back and rest now."
Keith rolled his eyes, slumped onto the sofa, "Looks like I’ve got a life of toil. Anything else, just order it all at once!"
James thought for a moment, there indeed was.
"Met with Lynn Yates yesterday." James spoke blandly, "Charles Yates wants to inject capital into Harvestide Holdings, but I refused. Keep an eye on The Yates Family’s movements and inform me immediately of any updates."
Keith was slightly surprised: "You met Lynn Yates... was it Charles Yates who instigated it?"
James’s long lashes drooped slightly, revealing a hint of aloofness, "Not sure, but most likely."
Keith perked up: "What did Lynn Yates have to say?"
James wasn’t busy at the moment, he patiently retold Lynn’s words from last night to Keith, word for word.
Keith was slightly stunned, as if enchanted, slowly saying: "Lynn Yates... she’s really something."
"Like her?" James showed no reaction, signing off documents without looking up, "You could pursue her."
Keith was uncharacteristically silent.
James looked up at him, seeing him deep in thought, with a touch of interest in his eyes.
Seems like Keith really is interested in Lynn Yates?
Taking advantage of the moment, James rarely pulled out a smile while looking at Keith.
"If you really like her, go ahead and pursue her. Besides, you can keep an eye on The Yates Family."
