NovelFameMarried At First Sight
Chapter 4086
Spencer felt conflicted, uncertain whether his feelings for Victoria stemmed from love or friendship.
His decision to return to Huyoniville wasn't just about advancing his career-it was also a chance to reflect and
untangle his emotions.
For over 20 years, he and Victoria had been childhood sweethearts, their bond as deep as the ocean. Yet neither
of them could definitively label their relationship as either love or friendship.
Years ago, both families had hoped they would marry, as they seemed like a perfect match in both status and
compatibility. However, their dynamic resembled that of close siblings more than romantic partners. Spencer had
never even uttered the words "I love you" to Victoria. When Victoria's family business started to crumble and
teetered on the edge of bankruptcy, the Chouinard family's stance shifted. Suddenly, the idea of a marriage
between Spencer and Victoria no longer seemed advantageous.
Fearing that Victoria's family might pull them into financial ruin, the Chouinard family began discouraging the
relationship.
Even so, Spencer quietly supported Victoria's family.

Despite his reputation as a successful professional, Spencer's financial situation was precarious. Nearly all of his
earnings had been funneled into loans for Victoria's father, helping keep their business afloat.
Business loans are always a gamble. If the recipient manages to recover and thrive, the lender stands to regain
their money. But if the venture fails, the debt becomes an insurmountable burden. Victoria's father's business
was faltering. The likelihood of repayment grew slimmer by the day.
Spencer's parents were well aware of the situation. They knew how much money he had loaned Victoria's family
and recognized how deeply the Chouinard family had already been entangled. Realizing the other side's business
was unlikely to recover, they decided it was tto cut their losses.
Thus, when Spencer was assigned to oversee domestic operations in Huyoniville, his parents saw an opportunity
to steer him in a different direction-toward Abby. They began orchestrating opportunities for Spencer and Abby
to connect, hoping to realign their family's interests.
To the Chouinard family, Spencer's long-standing relationship with Victoria couldn't outweigh their business
priorities or his future.
"Abby, is this the Mr. Chouinard you always talk about?" Evan interjected, his tone casual but deliberate. Without
waiting for an answer, he extended a hand toward Spencer.
"Mr. Chouinard, nice to meet you. I'm
Evan York."
Evan had noticed the way Spencer's gaze lingered on Abby, filled with emotions he couldn't quite decipher.
Feeling uneasy, he decided to assert his presence before being entirely overshadowed.
Spencer, caught up in the moment, hadn't even realized Evan was there until he spoke. Abby, on the other hand,
seemed oblivious to the tension.
Evan stepped closer to Abby, positioning himself beside her. After introducing himself, he reached out for a
handshake, adding a cheerful "Brother" to his greeting.
Spencer eyed Evan skeptically but shook his hand out of politeness.
"Brother Spencer, Evan is my friend. Just a friend," Abby clarified, her tone light and unassuming.
Spencer, however, could read
between the lines. As he locked eyes
with Evan, he quickly deduced the truth. Evan wasn't just a casual companion—he was clearly pursuing Abby
And Abby seemed to
ove
reciprocate, at least to sdegree, onshe wouldn't have brought him along to the airport.
The two men shared an unspoken understanding during their brief but loaded exchange. They remained calm on
the surface, but the intensity in their gazes betrayed their thoughts.
After their handshake, Spencer said, "Ah, so you're the Fourth Young Master of the York family from Wiltspoon.
The York Corporation and our company have collaborated before, though not for long."
Spencer's tone was polite, but his words carried subtle weight. He wanted Evan to know he was no stranger to
power or influence.
Evan smiled politely, though his thoughts were far less amicable. "If there's an opportunity in the future, we
should definitely collaborate again."
Inwardly, Evan scoffed at the idea.
There was no way he would ever
give Spencer a chance to
collaborate with the York
Corporation. If anything, he'd make it his mission to block Spencerat every turn.
A rival like Spencer needed obstacles, not opportunities.
