Chapter 114: Chapter 114: Does Second Young Master Yates Like Getting Involved with Married Women?

The instant Tristan Lawson saw Wyatt Yates standing with Noelle Sutton, his handsome lips pressed into a thin line.

Wyatt Yates, of course, saw Tristan Lawson too. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

Tristan Lawson was holding another woman so intimately, making no effort to hide it even when encountering his own wife.

’It was simply too much.’

Noelle Sutton averted her gaze and signed to Wyatt Yates, "Let’s go."

She acted as if Tristan Lawson didn’t exist.

Both Tristan Lawson and Sophie Hughes could understand Noelle Sutton’s sign language.

Only then, a beat too late, did Sophie Hughes say, "Tristan, Noelle is here. You should put me down."

Her voice was still low and hoarse.

"Don’t talk. You need to protect your vocal cords."

Noelle Sutton and Wyatt Yates were already walking toward the lab, but Tristan Lawson’s words still reached her ears.

’Sophie Hughes had surgery on her vocal cords. Since she was able to do voice acting for her animation, her vocal cords must have fully recovered.’

’And yet, Tristan Lawson was still so concerned about Sophie’s throat.’

Tristan Lawson took Sophie Hughes into an examination room.

Noelle Sutton didn’t want Tristan Lawson to know she was there for a throat examination, so she explained her concerns to Wyatt Yates.

Wyatt Yates then led Noelle Sutton to his office.

"I did a basic check of your vocal cords with a video laryngoscope. It’s fine if you don’t want a more detailed examination for now. I’ll prescribe some medicine to help your vocal cords recover. It’s an herbal formula, so you don’t have to worry about side effects. As for the brain scans, I need to review them more carefully and consult with a colleague."

Noelle Sutton nodded.

Wyatt Yates gave her the medicine.

She then said her goodbyes to Wyatt Yates, making it clear she didn’t want to run into Tristan Lawson.

Things had come to this. Noelle Sutton was no longer willing to lie to Wyatt Yates, telling him she loved Tristan Lawson and wouldn’t divorce him.

She had only said those things before because she was afraid of dragging Wyatt Yates into her troubles.

Now, she couldn’t lie even if she wanted to.

After seeing Tristan Lawson holding Sophie Hughes like that, there was no way Wyatt Yates hadn’t realized the truth.

Of course, Wyatt Yates didn’t mention Tristan Lawson’s intimacy with another woman in front of Noelle. Saying it aloud would only break her heart.

"Alright, you should head home. We’ll be in touch."

After Wyatt Yates explained how to take the medicine, Noelle Sutton left.

While Sophie Hughes was in her examination, Tristan Lawson came out, found a doctor, and asked for the location of Wyatt Yates’s office.

Tristan Lawson knocked on the door.

Hearing the knock, Wyatt Yates said, "Come in."

The door opened.

Wyatt Yates looked up. To his surprise, it was Tristan Lawson.

He couldn’t help but let out a derisive laugh.

’The very day he’d returned to the country and seen The Little Mute, they had watched on a massive public screen as Tristan Lawson and Sophie Hughes were mobbed at the airport.’

’Tristan Lawson had told the public that Sophie Hughes was his aunt.’

’Wyatt had recently had someone look into Tristan Lawson’s background.’

’Sophie Hughes and Tristan Lawson were not related by blood at all.’

’Their intimacy had none of the boundaries of actual relatives. The "aunt" claim was clearly just a front.’

’The Little Mute must have found out, and that’s why she’s insisting on a divorce. What a despicable man.’

’He married The Little Mute, yet he failed to cherish her.’

Tristan Lawson sat down gracefully across from Wyatt Yates’s desk, leaning back into the chair with a lazy posture.

Every gesture exuded an unmatched aristocratic air.

’He was the kind of man who made women’s hearts race.’

’But so what?’

’He’d run the diagnostics, and the results were in: certified scumbag.’

Wyatt Yates stared at Tristan Lawson with cold, hard eyes, not uttering a word.

Tristan Lawson, in turn, met his gaze with a serious expression. His voice was light, yet laced with a cold gravity. "Second Young Master Yates, do you enjoy consorting with another man’s wife?"

"She won’t be for long."

Wyatt Yates didn’t show the slightest weakness.

’As long as The Little Mute stands firm, what does he care about his title as the Second Young Master of the Yates family!’

’It’s not like he’s never known hardship.’

’He wasn’t afraid of offending Tristan Lawson in the least!’

"Are you implying, Second Young Master Yates, that you intend to steal a woman from me, Tristan Lawson?"

Wyatt Yates gave a faint smile. "The woman you were just holding? Relax, I have no interest. CEO Lawson can rest assured I have no intention of poaching his territory. In fact, I wish you and her a long and happy life together."

A coldness like the glint of a blade filled Tristan Lawson’s eyes.

"If a doctor were to misunderstand his patient’s intentions, I’m afraid it might lead to a medical incident."

The two men traded veiled insults, the air thick with the smell of gunpowder.

Wyatt Yates smirked and raised an eyebrow, speaking with an air of nonchalance. "I never thought CEO Lawson was so magnanimous, to be so concerned about my professional survival. However, I have complete confidence in my medical skills. You really needn’t trouble yourself, CEO Lawson. You should save your great benevolence for another place; I’m sure someone needs it more than I do."

’The Little Mute is gentle, kind, and easily bullied; she endures her grievances in silence. But he was not so easily pushed around.’

Tristan Lawson’s expression became dangerously dark.

"Tristan."

Having finished her examination and not seeing Tristan Lawson, Sophie Hughes had come looking for him.

Sophie Hughes leaned against the wall, limping.

Tristan Lawson immediately rose and went to support her.

"Why are you wandering around?"

"I finished my examination. It’s nothing serious. The doctor just said to drink plenty of water and take some throat lozenges."

Sophie Hughes’s voice was still somewhat raspy.

"As long as you’re okay. Let’s go, I’ll take you to have a doctor look at your foot."

"Tristan, wait a second."

Sophie Hughes looked toward Wyatt Yates and said in a very serious tone, "I just asked the doctor who performed my examination in the throat department. He told me your name is Yates. Hello, Dr. Yates. Noelle was with you a moment ago, wasn’t she? Is she sick?"

Wyatt Yates usually didn’t care for tea.

And this particular brew was so strong it made him feel a bit nauseous.

Sophie Hughes’s concerned question suddenly sparked a flicker of guilt in Tristan Lawson.

He had been so focused on seeing Noelle Sutton with Wyatt Yates that he’d forgotten to consider if she was at the hospital because she was sick.

’Noelle doesn’t want anyone to know she’s getting treatment for her throat.’

’Wyatt remembered vividly how Tristan Lawson’s sister had called Noelle "mute" over and over again at Myre River Pavilion.’

’Anyway, The Little Mute is divorcing Tristan Lawson. Why should he let them know that her aphonia is treatable?’

He replied, "She’s perfectly healthy, not sick! If you insist she has an illness, it’s that she’s being cheated on, and that’s a problem that needs to be removed!"

Sophie Hughes frowned. "Dr. Yates, why is there so much hostility in your words? Tristan and I are just concerned about Noelle’s health. But fine, if you’re going to be like that, I won’t ask any more questions."

That fleeting trace of guilt Tristan Lawson had felt vanished in an instant.

’Noelle wasn’t even sick, yet she came to the hospital. There could only be one reason: she was here to see Wyatt Yates.’

’She really had a talent for attracting men.’

’If he didn’t keep her in line, he’d be the one getting cheated on!’

Sophie Hughes turned to Tristan Lawson and said, "Tristan, let’s go."

This time, Tristan Lawson didn’t carry Sophie Hughes, but supported her by the arm as they left Wyatt Yates’s office.

Wyatt Yates’s hands were clenched into tight fists.

’Tristan Lawson and Sophie Hughes were so utterly without boundaries. Even when The Little Mute was heartbroken, she would never say a word.’

’She must have been going through such a difficult time lately.’

’The lawyer he’d recommended last time... The Little Mute hadn’t even added his contact, yet the lawyer had reached out to him proactively. He’d said that after considering it carefully, he couldn’t take on the case against Tristan Lawson.’

’He absolutely would not let The Little Mute continue to suffer this kind of injustice.’

’If no lawyer in the country dared to take on Tristan Lawson’s divorce case, then he would find an international one.’

’He’d like to see if Tristan Lawson’s influence could possibly extend to the international legal community!’
