Yvette looked at Isaac, who was making a fuss, her expression cam and unhurried as she asked, "What's going on?"

Isaac took another careful look at the photo in his hand, placed in front of Yvette, and then walked to the door, pulling the curtain to block the view from the people across the room. In a low voice, he said, "Yvette, the man over there is Sheldon Jacobs, the son of the village head of Dungo Village."

Yvette's hand paused for a moment before she lifted her head. Expressionless, she asked, "Sheldon Jacobs?"

She picked up the photo and glanced at it to confirm it was Sheldon across the street. With his rat-like features, he looked sleazy and creepy, ugliness even the photo couldn't hide. Isaac nodded and said, "Yvette, I have discovered quite a bit about Sheldon. He's the only son of the village head of Dungo Village. He's been away most of his life, so he's quite experienced. "Don't be deceived by Dungo Village being remote and isolated. The village head is indulgent with Sheldon. He sent Sheldon away for education when he was young.

"Sheldon only returned a few years ago, changing girlfriends like he changed clothes. But he's quite odd; three women have committed suicide over him under mysterious circumstances.

"I think Sheldon might know how to control poisonous insects; otherwise, with his appearance, who wouldn't replace him unattractive? How could he have had so many girlfriends?"

Yvette pondered momentarily, then casually remarked, "I think I look pretty alright, don't I?"

Isaac didn't know how to react. He thought, 'Does Yvette have some misconception about herself? What does she mean by saying look alright? If she looks alright, then there's no such thing as a beautiful woman!

If Isaac hadn't known Yvette for so many years, he'd definitely think this was some sort of humble brag. But he knew Yvette was genuinely unaware of her beauty.

Isaac looked at Yvette seriously and said earnestly, "Yvette, you don't just look alright; you look amazing."

Yvette nodded and said, "Alright then." She pulled out her phone, texted Jeremiah, and looked up. She said, "I'm going to Past Perfect."

Isaac's coffee cup slipped from his hands and fell to the floor, shattering. The two precious cups were both broken now. But he couldn't worry about that right now.

He said, "Yvette, are you joking about going to Past Perfect?" He suddenly had a revelation, thinking, 'Is Yvette planning to take action against Sheldon?'

Isaac awkwardly asked, "Yvette, are you planning to target Sheldon to get into Dungo Village?"

Yvette smirked and said, "Don't you replace it interesting that the village chief's son is personally showing me into the village?"

Isaac swallowed nervously, thinking, 'Only Yvette can think of such a plan. Isn't having Sheldon take her into the village a bit too exciting?'

Isaac said, "Yvette, isn't this a bit risky? Sheldon isn't one to be easily dealt with. Why would he bring someone into the village unless..."

He trailed off, not wanting to say the rest. He thought, 'Unless Yvette is planning to use herself to entice Sheldon. Isn't that

too much of a sacrifice?'

Chapter 409

Yvette knew exactly what leaac was implying. She raised an eyebrow. With a playful glint in her eye, she said, "Keep your wild ideas to yourself."

Isaac immediately stopped his daydreaming. He opened the bigbox he had just taken out and stroked the clothes inside. He said, "Yvette, it is a good thing. Do you know celestial silk armor?

Yvette looked a bit surprised. The celestial silk armor was said to be impenetrable by weapons and resistant to water and fire. It was incredibly rare on the market. Seeing it here was indeed special. Yvette picked up the celestial silk armor and took a closer look, Judging by its craftsmanship, it seemed quite ancient. She asked, "Where did you replace this?"

Isaac withdrew his hand and said, "Yvette, this is an heirloom of our Taylor family. It's been passed down through countless generations and never shown to anyone outside the family." Yvette put the celestial silk armor back in the box and closed the lid. "Take it back," she said calmly.

Isaac was taken aback. He shook his head firmly and said, "Yvette, please don't refuse. I can't go with you to Dungo Village, but keep this. Wearing it will give you extra protection." Yvette casually pushed the box back to Isaac and said indifferently, "Poisonous insects are useless to me.

Isaac was stunned. He thought, 'Poisonous insects are useless to Yvette? That sounds a bit exaggerated. After a moment, Isaac regained some of his composure. He knew Yvette wouldn't lie. Isaac looked curious and asked, "Yvette, back in Mysonna, was the last thing the great sorcerer said true?"

Yvette narrowed her eyes, a clear chill in her gaze, and said slowly, "Yes."

Isaac smiled, thinking, 'As expected. He couldn't figure out where Yvette got such talents. It was incredible that Yvette could learn how to control poisonous insects, which was related to ethnic inheritance. Isaac had long known that he could be friends with Yvette or just acquaintances, but definitely not enemies. Otherwise, he'd have no idea how he ended up dead.

Isaac said, "Yvette, I've wanted to give you the celestial silk armor for a long time. Without your help back then, I wouldn't be here today. I'll keep it safe for you until you need it."

Yvette looked at Isaac and nodded. She said, "Okay."

Ten minutes later, Yvette came out of Vintage Vista, dressed in all black, exuding a hint of menace. She glanced at Past Perfect and walked over.

At Past Perfect, Sheldon was thrilled to see Yvette walking toward him. He hadn't expected she would walk right into the trap; just when he thought he'd have to put in some effort, she showed up alone. Sheldon quickly straightened himself up, appearing neatly dressed and wearing a charming smile.

He pretended to move to the side casually, picking up objects as though browsing, but he never took his eyes off Yvette. The manager of Past Perfect saw through Sheldon immediately.

Yvette walked into Past Perfect and noticed the antique displays. With just a glance, she could tell that Isaac was right; the items here were mixed with counterfeits, and most were of low quality. Yvette approached a display. She casually pointed at a bracelet and looked at the manager, asking, "How much is this?"

Seeing a chance to start a conversation, Sheldon gave the manager a look and quickly walked over. He said, "Hello, Miss, is this your first time here? Do you like this bracelet? I can tell you more about it."

Yvette sat with her legs curled up, looking lazy and relaxed. She lifted her eyelids slightly and smiled at Sheldon.

47%

That smile was enough to make Sheldon overjoyed. It strengthened his determination to win Yvette over, confident as he continued to talk.

The manager of Past Perfect chimed in to agree with Sheldon. He said, "Miss, this must be your first time at Past Perfect; you seem new here.

"Rest assured, everything we sell is genuine and of excellent quality. This gentleman, Sheldon Jacobs, is a regular with refined taste, generous spending, and truly a rare man."

Sheldon pretended to cough, still acting modest as he said, "You're too kind, manager. It's because Past Perfect has great products. I don't want to visit the store across the street, Vintage Vista.

"Their manager is stingy, the goods are poor, and they're arrogant. Miss, I sincerely recommend buying antiques here at Past Perfect."

Across from the street, Isaac packed up the celestial silk armor and yawned twice. He glanced at Past Perfect and wondered, 'What's Yvette going to do to teach Sheldon a lesson this time? Seems like Dungo Village is going to get lively.' In Past Perfect, Seeing Sheldon and the manager bantering, a hint of annoyance crept into Yvette's expression. She was impatient, annoyed, and disgusted.
