Sorry for Your Loss, It's Me, I'm the Loss novel Chapter 442

"I'm surprised at how protective you are of her. It seems the rumors are true. You've been throwing money and resources at her, and you recommended her for this role, didn't you?"

Emma sat there in her simple, elegant dress, her posture perfect, but her words were laced with venom. "You and Bennett are cousins, alright. You even have the same taste in women. First it was Yvonne, and now…"

"That's enough!" Thomas shot up from his seat, cutting Emma off.

He glanced instinctively at Yvonne before fixing his gaze back on his aunt, his voice tight with suppressed emotion. "You two talk. I have two more scenes this afternoon, so I'm heading to makeup."

After Thomas left, Emma and Yvonne were alone.

Emma maintained her superior air, casually gesturing to the chair opposite her. "Sit."

Yvonne walked over in silence and sat down.

A brief silence hung between them as Emma brazenly sized her up.

Though the face was completely different, the girl's aura reminded Emma of someone from her past.

The feeling stirred an inexplicable sense of unease and irritation within her.

"Yvonne. The switched-at-birth daughter of the Spencer family, and the granddaughter of the James family," Emma stated, casually reciting the facts from her background check.

To the lofty Mrs. Thompson, Yvonne's background was utterly unimpressive, and her tone was cold and sharp.

She had anticipated several possible reactions—that Yvonne would quietly take the money and leave, or that she would burst into tears, refusing the money and professing her true love for Bennett. She had even imagined a hysterical outburst, accusing Emma of trying to humiliate her with money.

But she had never imagined that this girl, not even twenty years old, would calmly ask her why she disliked her.

Emma was suddenly reminded of the original Yvonne, who had the same clear, piercing eyes that seemed to see through all the ugliness and filth in the world.

"Perhaps I just don't like your name. It has an unpleasant ring to it," Emma replied dismissively, her irritation growing.

This girl, aside from her aura and her eyes, was so much like the first Yvonne.

And that Yvonne had Bennett completely wrapped around her finger when she was alive. Even after her death, she had driven him to the brink of despair.
