The Yandell family had all the money. How was Yara supposed to return it to Yvette? Besides, she would never give the money to Yvette.Yara softly called out to Yvette, who had her back turned. "Yvvy, I've given all the money to the Yandell family. I can't give it to you."Yvette stopped and turned to look at her."Is that so? I'll have to apply for compulsory enforcement then," she stated. She was sure that Yara and Terrence had secretly kept some money.Yara approached her, lacking all of her previous aggression. "Are you really trying to push me to the edge? I don't have many years left!"Yvette calmly looked at her. "This is all your own doing.""I'm your mother! Listen, you better believe it when I tell you that you won't have it any better if I end up with nothing." Yara started threatening her.Yvette sneered. "Do you think I'm living well now?"Yara was taken aback.Yvette stared at her. "Your threats don't scare me. I'm determined to get back what belongs to my dad.
"Is that all?" Lawrence stared at Yara.She was upset by his gaze. "Why? Is there a problem?"He immediately said with a smile, "I was just surprised. It's your money, so do whatever you want with it."Yara finally calmed down. At that moment, Lawrence was still afraid of her. Not only had she given birth to Zoey for him, but she had also given him everything he had at that moment. Most importantly, he was worried that she would expose everything evil he had done in the past if he offended her."It's getting late, darling. Since you're sick now, you should get some rest. I'll take you back to the hospital tomorrow for more examination," he said as he gently helped her get back upstairs.After he tucked her in, he returned to the living room and kept sighing. When Zoey noticed it, she couldn't help asking, "Dad, are we really going to return all the money to Yvette?""How's that even possible?" he said with a long face. No one would be able to spit out everything they had swallo
Yara didn't sleep well that night at all. The next day, Zoey actually visited her for once. "Mom, how are you feeling now?"When Yara saw Zoey, she was instantly overjoyed. "I'm feeling much better now."Zoey didn't want to ask her for the money right away, so she started flattering Yara first. "The weather's great today. Do you want to get some fresh air and sun? I'll accompany you out!"However, Yara shook her head. "Zoey, I would like to see a dance performance. Can we do that?"She loved dancing the most. However, she had to stop dancing due to some difficulties in life."Mom, aren't you feeling unwell? What if something happens when we're outside?" Zoey didn't want to get too far outside with Yara because the latter couldn't control her bladder anymore. Zoey was worried Yara would lose control."Didn't the doctor say I'm recovering well? It'll be fine. Just go to the show with me." Yara looked desperate."Sure. I'll get the tickets now, and we can go to a performance tonigh
Yvette saw Zoey, who was surrounded by a crowd. Meanwhile, Yara was forced into a corner and looked helpless.A weird look flashed in Yvette's gaze, and she quickly looked away. "Let's go now.""Sure."Yara was standing awkwardly among the crowd. She wanted to tell Zoey to support her, but someone pushed her from behind. She fell to the ground. The passersby just glanced at her and didn't help her up.Yara had a relapse, and her stomach was in immense pain. She tried to get up, but she couldn't do it at all. She looked toward Zoey, who was busy signing her name and taking pictures. So, Yara had no choice but to struggle to get up.Suddenly, she heard someone talking to her. "Do you need help, Madam Yara?"She was stunned for a moment. When she looked up, she saw Yvette's cold face. Her pupils constricted, and she just wanted to hide at that moment."What are you doing here? I don't need your help, you ungrateful brat!" She stared at Yvette with hostility. "You came here just to
Yvette remembered how she'd once picked a flower for Yara when she'd been younger. She'd accidentally fallen down a steep hill, but Yara had simply crossed her arms and said, "Get up now, Yvvy. You need to learn how to thrive by yourself."That was when Yvette realized her definition of thriving wasn't the same as Yara's.As she left with Kiki, Yara kept cursing from behind. "You damn brat, I hope you die a terrible death…"As an outsider, Kiki couldn't help having chills when she heard that. She didn't understand why a mother would wish for her own daughter to die.When they exited the building, Yvette stood in the cold breeze for a long time. Then, she told a staff, "Someone has fallen down inside."She didn't know if someone had helped Yara up, but at least she wouldn't be guilty of leaving Yara alone.Kiki knew she would go soft and grabbed her arm. "You're still soft in the end, Yvvy."She never understood why some people would treat their parents badly before this. But aft
"Mom, are you feeling better now?" Zoey sat by the bed.Seeing how she was still there at that hour, Yara instantly stopped feeling upset. "I'm feeling much better now. Thank you for everything today.""It's nothing. You're my mom, so I should be treating you well."Zoey held her hand and paused for a moment. Then, she continued, "There's something I want to talk to you about. But I'm worried that you might overthink it.""What is it? Just say it.""Seeing how you are right now, I'm just wondering if you should prepare for the inevitable."She tried to be as subtle as possible, but Yara still managed to understand what she was implying. "Are you talking about a will? Didn't the doctor say I have two more years if I accept all the treatments?""Calm down, Mom. I want you to survive as long as possible too, but we need to plan for the future. If something unexpected happens again like today, I won't even know what to do with your belongings."Yara silently listened to Zoey, and h
After Lawrence received the money, he used it to help his company through its financial crisis. He couldn't figure out what had been happening recently. Although the company hadn't been making big bucks in the first place, it had never lost any money either.Recently, no matter what they worked on, someone would sabotage them. Most of their business partners had been snatched away by IM Enterprise, and Lawrence was slowly losing money.Yara still had no idea that Lawrence had taken her money. Soon, it would all be gone.…The next morning, there was a piece of news trending. "Well-known world-class dancer brings her sick stepmom to a musical."The article stated how hardworking and kind Zoey was and how she'd taken Yara to the show. It also stated how the latter had a peeing accident. It was said that Zoey wasn't disgusted by it at all and that she'd helped Yara into a car and sent the latter to the hospital.When Yvette woke up and saw the news, she thought it was ironic. She'
"Did you receive it, Yvvy? I submitted the application for the transfer last night, and you should've received it by now," said Terrence.Yvette looked at the amount of money and said, "Yeah. I got it.""That's good. If you need any help in the future, just let me know. After all, I'm your brother, and blood's thicker than water, right?" He sounded more mature than ever when he said the last part.That was something Yvette had never witnessed before. She was slightly surprised and suspicious. She wondered if Terrence really had changed. Had he really become sensible?She wanted to have a family more than anyone else in the world, and Terrence was her actual brother. If he was willing to change, she would consider accepting him again."I hope you really have changed." After saying that, she hung up the call.Of course, she couldn't trust him that easily now. After all, he had tried to sell her out for money in the past.Just as Yvette was in a daze, Xavier entered the room. He pl
