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
In less than half an hour, Mark managed to find out that Jeremiah had contacted Yvette again that day.After Xavier learned about it, he was utterly disappointed in his brother. Jeremiah kept trying to ruin Xavier's relationship with Yvette!So, he decided to teach Jeremiah a lesson without holding back after he was done destroying the Yandells. That way, he could ensure Jeremiah wouldn't dare to look for Yvette again.For the next few days, Yandell Group's situation didn't improve despite receiving financial aid. Instead, one of the shareholders gave up their shares, and most of the higher-ups left the company as well.Yandell Group's stocks kept plummeting, and the employees couldn't stop talking about it."Is the company going down? I saw Mr. Gordon packing his belongings two days ago and preparing to leave.""That's right. Our manager handed up his resignation letter as well. He even told us to look for another job soon.""Why is this happening?"Yandell Group's headquarter
When Jeremiah and Zoey arrived at Yandell Residence, Lawrence came out to welcome them. "The food is ready. Let's go eat now.""You can drop the formalities, Dad. Just tell Jerry what you need," Zoey said with a smile. She really thought Jeremiah cared about her.Jeremiah also said, "Mr. Yandell, I've heard that you need to talk to me about something. Let's get to the point first.""In that case… let's talk at the dining table." Lawrence forced out a smile and led the two of them to the dining room. As they had their meal, he slowly talked about how he had been targeted by someone after he'd returned to Tirion.He aggrievedly kept some of his troubles to himself and didn't tell them everything. After all, Jeremiah hadn't really become part of the Yandell family left. It would be bad if he had second thoughts about the marriage if he learned that the Yandell family was weak."That's the situation. It isn't serious, but it isn't a small matter either." Lawrence paid attention to the
Ever since Zoey had gotten her hands on Yara's private savings, she'd stopped visiting Yara. She hadn't even called the latter. Yara missed her a lot while staying at the hospital alone."I miss you, Zoey. When will you visit me again?""I'm really sorry, Mom. I've been too busy recently. Once I'm done with work, I'll visit you. Is that alright?" Zoey gave a perfunctory answer.Yara's gaze darkened a little. "Sure. So, what have you been up to—"Before she could finish her words, Zoey had already ended the call. Yara looked disappointed as she kept her gaze on the ended call.Yara's caretaker, Georgia Dipny, was standing outside the ward at that moment. Her daughter, Penelope Shea, had come over that day.She said to Georgia, "Mom, I'm making money now, so there's no need for you to work anymore. Let me take care of you.""It's alright. I'm still young, so I'm not tired.""But I'm worried about you. Take some money, and make sure you treat yourself well. Get yourself something
Georgia reacted quickly and grabbed Yara, so the latter didn't end up on the ground.Yara caught her breath and returned to the bed. Then, she pointed at Yvette and said to Georgia, "Did you see that? That's my so-called daughter. She's so ungrateful and unfilial that she came here just to ask me for money. She's even threatening to distrain what I have when I'm not giving her what she wants!"When Georgie heard that, she looked at Yvette in disbelief. Although she wasn't perfect at judging a person, she seldom made any mistake. Yvette seemed gentle to her, and Georgia couldn't tell she was a bad daughter at all.Yvette didn't explain herself and just said, "Since you don't have the money, I'll get it from the Yandells."She already had evidence that Yara had given all the money to the Yandell family."You wouldn't!" Yara looked angry. In Yvette's eyes, she was like a clown throwing a tantrum at that moment.Yvette looked around. She wasn't planning on leaving just like that. "
