Thrown Into A New World: Let The Punishment Begin!

'Here I am trying to explain to him that expansion in various fields is always a positive idea and this man is smiling at me?' Yvonne tilted her head as she observed her father's face.

Expansion was the key to growth however, blindly venturing into untested waters was a dangerous gamble.

A gamble that Yvonne would never make in a million years.

This little girl was someone who had foreknowledge about certain events that might take place in the future.

For example, she was sure that a plague would hit the Kingdom in a few years as that incident was something that shaped the future of the female lead, Hilda.

Similarly, she was also sure that the cafe run by Baron MacIntyre would gain popularity in the future thanks to the Princess who would fall in love with the baker's treats.

'There was never a mention about why bratty Princess loved those treats but I am guessing that it has something to do with the birthday that Glennise mentioned before she left.' Yvonne surmised after giving it some thought.

Certain aspects had changed due to her interference like the playmate position being bestowed onto Rika but the fact that both Yvonne and Glennise had opted for the same dessert meant that the core elements remained unchanged.

This gave her the confidence that even Princess Felicia would soon come to love the desserts that would be served at her birthday celebration.

Rutherford was watching the smile on his child's face widening and he could not help but wonder what it was that had made her ecstatic.

To drag her out of the gleeful reverie, he coughed to get her attention and continued the conversation that they were having.

"When my business is already flourishing, why would I wish to expand my business any further?" He questioned to test what her answer would be.

He had already been drawn over to her side but he did not want to let her know about it, leading her to become complacent that she had won him over with just a few simple words.

Though Rutherford had a booming business in whatever it was that he did, how could he not want to gain more to ensure that the future of his children was secure and that they would live the best life that he could give to them?

Therefore, he had already realized that what she had planned for was promising but he would need to hear her entire plan before he could decide what to do next.

Yvonne pondered for a moment on how to answer the man and was sure that she had the best response in her mind.

Rutherford chuckled when he noticed the puffed-up cheeks that she had on while she glared at him.

"If Papa does not want the money then give it to Vonna as her monthly allowance!" She demanded with enthusiasm and maintained eye contact with the man.

The father was stunned when he heard his daughter mentioning the matter about a monthly allowance as that was something she had never asked for nor had she ever received one before today.

A mere five-year-old did not have many things that they would have to buy and Yvonne was one such child who remained at home all the time.

This was also why the parents had never thought of giving her any kind of monetary funds as she would not have a chance to spend it anyway.

'That allowance will be the investment for my future businesses!' Yvonne smirked when she recalled her plan for the future.

First, she needed a source of income that was not dependent on the family's funds, and only after this could she even think about taking the next steps in starting her business.

This was the reason why she had planned to strike that deal with Baron MacIntyre, as a source of her independent income.

She knew that this could be considered to be petty change for the man who was known as the wealthiest man in the Kingdom which was the reason for her bold demand earlier.

This step would soon be fulfilled once she received the green signal from her father who had remained silent after listening to her demand.

The wheels in Rutherford's brain were whirring as he tried to comprehend why his daughter had asked for something that she had never shown any interest in before.

"Why does Vonna want an allowance?" He interrogated with a stern expression on his face.

The doting father was worried that there was something that his child desired to have but was unable to do so as she had not received the money that was due to her.

"Did the nanny not get you something that you wished for?" His tone got menacing when this thought popped up in his mind.

There were only two people in charge of looking after this daughter of his, they were his beloved wife and the old maid who was also her nanny.

Since his wife would never refrain from doting on their child, his mind had interpreted that it was the maid who had failed to do her duty.

"I will-" His angry scowl was cut short when he saw her shaking her head in earnest refusal.

'That poor lady is doing the best that she can!' Yvonne refused to let someone else take the fall for the plans that she was making for her future.

This caused her mind to work at lightning speed as she thought of an excuse for why she would need an allowance when she rarely left the estate.

"Miss Glennise and Miss Rika both had money today!" She blurted out with anxiety laced in her voice.

The reason that she had given made the Earl pause and ponder over the matter.

It was true that children from noble families were given allowances to do as they pleased so the chances that Yvonne had met someone who had this privilege was not impossible.

'Is my Vonna jealous that those girls have the money to spend while she has to wait for Ray to pay for her?' He wondered and the doubt in his heart intensified by a hundredfold.

After all, it was not uncommon for a child to wish for something that another child had.

This thought was proving to be true for every second he pondered over it.

'She thought so much about this… All she had to do was ask me for some money…' He sighed while shaking his head at the little girl's actions.

Yvonne was fretting that he was on the verge of rejecting her idea which made her unhinged as she stared at him with her big amethyst eyes glowing pitifully.

She did not speak a single word but she was sure that these big eyes of hers were doing the negotiation for her.

The muscular man could not stop his doting heart from melting after glancing at her eyes which were shooting starry arrows at him.

The arrows pierced through his heart, making him let out another sigh, this time a louder one as he nodded his head in approval.

"Vonna can have the allowance." He accepted her proposal as he could not be bothered about that little amount of money the cafe made.
