Yvette quickly said, "Haven't I told you that you can't move the furniture, Carla? Xav couldn't see, so he would stumble and fall if you moved the furniture."Yet you refused to listen to me and insisted on moving the chairs. Now you made Xav walk into them."Carla was stunned. When she came back to her senses, she immediately retorted, "Weren't you the one who—"Yvette interrupted her and said, "I always made sure that any moved tables or chairs would be returned to their original positions. You were the one who refused to listen to me and insisted on moving them."I know you only take instructions from Madam Shannon, but shouldn't you be considerate of Xav as well?"Noah immediately added, "Would you take responsibility for it if my dad fell?"Carla's expression changed. She couldn't even argue back as she watched them talk over her.Xavier could tell something was off, yet he chose not to call them out. Instead, he indulged in Yvette's little scheme and said, "You can go back
Without Carla around, Yvette slept well into the next day. She got up to compose some songs and read as she rested.She had nothing much to do now except to wait for the lawsuit against Yara and Terrence, as well as the election for the parents' committee's president the next Monday.Yvette's leisurely afternoon was interrupted by a call from the detention center. They told her that Yara wanted to meet her."Got it." She ended the call and headed over to the detention center. She arrived there an hour later.Yvette initially thought that Yara was living miserably, but she saw that her appearance was unchanged. In fact, Yara was even sporting a new hairstyle."Why did you ask for me?" Yvette asked indifferently.Yara was unfeeling when she saw the scar on Yvette's face. She did not beat around the bush and said, "How much do I need to pay for you to drop the lawsuit?"Yvette replied, "Of course it would be the entirety of Dad's inheritance.""Are you kidding me? Half of your fat
When one heard their own biological mother curse them with a hellish life, it would feel like they'd been stabbed with a knife before it was twisted further in.Yvette maintained a calm demeanor and showed no discomfort. However, she felt a dull ache in her chest that was hard to explain.She forced a smile and said, "You should be thinking about how to spend the rest of your life in jail, Madam Yara."Oh, and also how you and your daughter, Zoey, will live from now on after I get Dad's inheritance back. I know that everything the Yandell family has now was largely built on the foundation left by Snyder Group in the past."After that, Yvette ignored Yara's furious glare and stood up to leave. She had barely stepped away when she heard a loud crash from behind her.She turned around and saw Yara falling from the chair. Her eyes were rolled back, her hands were clutching at her abdomen, and her legs were twitching uncontrollably.Yvette was taken aback as she looked at Yara. She wo
Yvette instructed Matthew to keep a close eye on Yara's next steps. She wouldn't let Yara off easily unless she had late-stage cancer.Once she returned, she also requested for Ray to investigate James' car accident from years ago.Although Matthew had mentioned that most of the evidence was gone after all these years, Yvette still wanted to know the truth and get a definitive answer.She collapsed onto the couch after she was done with everything. She couldn't fall asleep despite her exhaustion; her mind was too much of a mess for her to relax.She recalled James' kind face when he sang praises about Yara and told her how much Yara had loved him when Yvette was younger. Yvette felt bitterness in her mouth and hugged a throw pillow tightly in her arms. She remained in the same position and lay on the couch until she eventually fell asleep.Upon noticing that she was asleep, Wendy took a blanket to cover her up.Noah wouldn't be returning tonight since his kindergarten had arran
Yvette was stunned. Her face flushed red when she realized what he was talking about.Xavier immediately pulled away when she loosened her grip."Don't fall asleep on the couch next time. It's not hard to walk back to the room yourself!" He restrained himself, keeping his voice neither too cold nor too warm.They were still fighting after all, and she hadn't apologized to him until now.Yvette knew that Xavier was concerned about her. She nodded and replied, "Alright, sorry for troubling you. You should go get some rest as well."After that, she slipped back under the blanket.Xavier didn't go to bed. After stepping out, he first got Mark to find out what Yvette had been up to today that had affected her so much. He only went to wash up after that.Mark was frustrated that his quiet moment with his girlfriend had been interrupted by Xavier. He would definitely ask for a raise soon.It wasn't like he did the investigation himself anyway. He instructed his subordinates to check t
Yvette had been closely monitoring the other mothers' behavior ever since she'd met up with them to discuss the matter regarding the president of the parents' committee.Even though they had chatted privately with her that very night, they were collectively silent the next day. In fact, some even stopped updating their WhatsApp statuses.Yvette grew suspicious seeing their unusual behavior. They would be electing the new president of the parents' committee the next day. She wondered if they might turn against her.She tried sending a message to one of the mothers, asking her if she liked her handbag.The mother only replied after some time. "Oh, I'm sorry. This handbag doesn't seem to suit me at all. I've only used it once, but it'll probably end up collecting dust in my closet."Yvette then sent similar messages to the other mothers. They either complained about their items, or said that they hadn't used them yet. They were clearly acting suspiciously.She was sure that the othe
With that, it would be hard for Yvette to convince the other mothers to help her out.She furrowed her brows worriedly. Just as she was pondering her next move, Mark continued, "But the money they invested is likely going down the drain. They won't be able to last more than a few days."If you have friends among the kindergarten mothers, you have to stop them from investing, Mrs. Lane."Yvette perked up upon hearing that. She asked, "Is that so? Why are you so sure that it'll all go to waste?"Before Mark could reply, Xavier said, "Zayden's collective purchase business is focused on vegetables and fresh produce, which are hard to store and have high shipping costs."There's a lot of competition now, but it's just a battle of spending money to grab market share. They offer the lowest prices to attract customers and drive other companies out in hopes of monopolizing the market."Xander paused and held back from mentioning that his own company was in the same business.Vegetables a
Elena was taken aback and looked guilty when Yvette approached her. "Ms. Snyder, you're here early!""Yeah. We're voting for the president of the parents' committee, aren't we? I have to show up early. You promised to vote for me.""Yes, of course." Elena smiled. She reassured herself, thinking that her vote would stay anonymous anyway.Yvette made her way to the meeting room in the school. Many moms who had arrived were chatting away excitedly.When she entered the room, the moms sheepishly looked away and pretended they did not see her, but she was unbothered because the show was about to start.To her surprise, Anne, to whom she had given the parking pass, came over to talk to her. "Ms. Snyder, you're here.""Yeah." Yvette flashed a polite smile and refrained from showing any enthusiasm. After all, there was no telling whether Anne was just like Elena.Anne pulled her aside and asked in a hushed voice, "Mrs. Snyder, why don't you give up on running for the president of the pa
