Chapter 411
Yvene became irrigurd Whare this happy occasion! It looks like you all are taking it very seriously.”
Sheldon pointed toward one of the houses and quietly said, “Se that one? That’s my uncle’s house. In three days, my cousin Navian is going to many Bonnie, the special woman from Dungi Village
“t’s going to be the grandest wedding in our village. The whole village is looking forward to this day
Yvette raised an eyebrow, clearly interested. “The special woma
Sheldon, noticing that Martin was intrigued by this topic, was pleased.
He quickly explained to Yvette. “Bonnie is the guardian goddess of Dungo Village. Every few years, she has to marry a man chosen from the village, and Xavian was recently selected. If you’re interested, you can stay here in the village.
“Normally, outsiders aren’t allowed to attend the wedding, but since you’re my friend, I can talk to my father. He’ll probably agree.”
Sheldon wasn’t hiding his thoughts anymore. Now that Yvette was in Dungo Village, he had plenty of time and opportunities to win her over. There was no rush. His plan was to keep Yvette here first.
Yvette nodded. “Alright.”
Sheldon, already used to her cold manner, nodded back. He said kindly, “I’ll go make arrangements. Let’s come back to my place.
The Jacobs residence had a typical medieval style of decor, luxurious and exuding an ancient charm.
As soon as Sheldon entered, a man in a gray suit, Gideon, stepped out. “Mr. Jacobs, welcome back.”
Gideon’s gaze shifted to Yvette, his frown deepening as he eyed her with a look of suspicion and some distaste.
‘Has Mr. Jacobs lost his mind? Doesn’t he know that women always bring trouble? A beautiful woman is nothing but a disaster. If this keeps up, Mr. Jacobs will surely meet his end because of a woman,‘ he wondered.
Yvette glanced at him, her gaze indifferent. With both hands in her pockets, she raised an eyebrow, her expression showing a hint of rebelliousness.
Gideon hesitated. “Sheldon, Mr. Jacobs is asking for you. I’ll arrange a room for this lady.”
Clearly, Gideon had handled such situations many times before. Sheldon nodded in satisfaction. “Thank you, Gideon. Please make sure Ms. Zeller is well taken care of. She’s an important guest of mine.”
Turning to Yvette, Sheldon spoke gently. “Ms. Zeller, please rest for now. I have something to take care of.”
Yvette nodded in acknowledgment, her hands still in her pockets, her eyes cold. Her sleeves were rolled up slightly, revealing her slender, smooth wrists. She didn’t say anything.
Gideon’s dissatisfaction was evident as he thought, ‘What an arrogant woman. How dare she be so disrespectful to Mr. Jacobs!’
After Sheldon left, Gideon coldly addressed Yvette. “Ms. Zeller, follow me. Your room is on the left.”
As they walked, Gideon casually asked her questions, to which Yvette responded.
At the door of her room, Gideon spread his hands. “Ms. Zeller, this is your room. I won’t disturb you any longer.”

“Thank you,” Yvette and sonly, then turned to close the door. Their eyes met, and Gideon’s gaze darkened with a flash of malice. Does he want to kill met she thought.
After the door closed, Gideon stood for a moment before turning to leave. It doesn’t matter what kind of woman she is. In the end, she’s just fertilizer. Nothing worth paying attention to be wondered.
In the study. Sheldon straightened his clothes and knocked on the door. After hearing the invitation to enter, he pushed the door open and stepped inside. He walked toward the man sitting at the desk.
Gideon bowed respectfully. “Dad, you’re back from South East Aploth?
Sheldon’s father, Holden Jacobs, was fifty–five years old. He had been the leader of Dungo Village for thirty years, and his power was absolute. No one dared defy him. The villagers treated him with the utmost respect.
Holden’s face was lined with deep wrinkles, and his narrowed eyes gave him a stern appearance. Sheldon resembled him quite a bit. It was clear that they were father and son.
Holden put down what he was holding and looked at Sheldon with a cold expression. “You brought back another woman?”
Sheldon knew he couldn’t hide anything from his father, so he spoke honestly. “Yeah, Dad, she’s incredibly beautiful. I fell for her the moment I saw her.
“But relax. She’s just a silly woman who loves money. Once I’m done with her, I’ll have her serve as fertilizer for the little ones. Don’t worry about it.”
Holden knew Sheldon’s ways. After all these years, his weakness for women was no secret. He couldn’t live without them. Nodding dismissively, Holden thought little of it. Sheldon had fallen for countless women over the years. It was nothing
new.
“Just keep a low profile,” Holden warned. “In three days, it’ll be Xavian’s wedding with Bonnie. You’ll need to lend a hand. Bonnie’s been making trouble, refusing to eat in protest.
“Do whatever it takes to stop her from causing any more problems. She can’t be allowed to stir things up before the next special woman comes along.”
Sheldon nodded, then spat on the ground in disdain. “Dad, Bonnie’s just out of her mind. She thinks a bit of schooling means she can escape Dungo Village, utterly delusional.
“If it weren’t for her special role, I would have killed her by now and tossed her into Deathworm Hell.”
Holden’s expression darkened, his tone stern. “Watch your mouth! Do you think you can throw around talk about Deathworm Hell like that? Keep that place a secret from outsiders, or you can pack up and leave Dungo Village for good.” Seeing Holden’s anger, Sheldon immediately backtracked. “I’m sorry, Dad. I was wrong. Please, don’t be angry.”
With an annoyed wave, Holden dismissed him. “Get out of here. Stop making trouble and keep an eye on that woman you brought in.”
Sheldon nodded, mumbling, “Yes, Dad. I’ll head out now. Just get back to your work.”
After Sheldon left, Holden’s expression grew pensive as he gazed thoughtfully toward the bookshelf.
At the westernmost house in Dungo Village, the door opened, revealing Bonnie dressed in wrinkled clothes that she had clearly been wearing for days. She sat motionless on the bed, her eyes dull and unfocused, and a cold, untouched meal sitting on the table.
The woman who entered glanced at Bonnie, her eyes flickering briefly before she turned to close the door.
Janice walked over, looking at Bonnie with concern, her voice soft and gentle. “Bon, please eat something. Don’t keep
