Three days later, Colette and Yvette sat facing each other in the detention center.Yvette was obviously much more resourceful than Ginny. The police officer left and closed the door behind them right after escorting Colette to the visitation room.Colette looked at Yvette, all clean and made up, towering over her. It set her off like a lowly slave.Colette tried to hide her resentment, but her facial expression betrayed her emotions. She struggled to hide the bitterness in her voice."Ms. White, you promised to help me with the matter related to Yvonne, right? I've been stuck in this place for almost a week now."Yvette glanced at Colette, who was in a state of disarray. "Are you questioning me?"Colette shivered. She realized she had been impulsive. She quickly lowered her head and admitted her mistake. "I didn't mean it that way. I'm just feeling miserable being stuck here."You don't understand. They've got me locked up in a solitary room, feeding me just one meal a day an
Yvette had just come out of the detention center.Ginny, who had been waiting outside, rushed toward her immediately."Ms. White, please, you have to save Lettie no matter what. I will be grateful to you for the rest of my life!"Yvette looked at Ginny, whose eyes were swollen and who started to cry as she spoke.Yvette smirked. She looked around. "Let's find a different place to talk."Ginny followed Yvette to a nearby tea house.Ginny was clearly anxious. Before even sitting down, she blurted out, "Ms. White, Lettie is so lucky to have you as her friend."Yvette observed Ginny's humble demeanor and began to understand why Colette had been so submissive in front of her. Why was Victoria not like this?She calmly sat down and tried to provoke Ginny."Victoria is the cause of this mess. If she agrees to let go of Colette, things could be resolved. Then, she can be released quickly."Even Yvonne is likely to receive a lighter sentence. Moreover, isn't Colette Mrs. Warde Senior'
After Ginny left, Yvette had planned to call Logan and ask for his help on Colette and Ginny's situation. Before she could, Luna called."Ms. White, let's meet."After Luna left the police station, Jayce and the other Fortuna representatives were blamed for the whole incident.Luna was furious and had a massive fight with them over the matter. She also decided to stay at a hostel arranged by Yvette instead."Alright. But I have something to do, so I'll meet you later."Once Yvette got in the car, she quickly called Logan."Before George's passing, he gave some of the Harper's shares to Ginny. Although the Warde family doesn't interfere with the Harper's business, they hold more shares than us." Yvette continued, "Didn't you tell me we could become the largest shareholder outside of the Harper family if we could take those shares for ourselves? I have the confidence to do so."I know you have a few talented men at your disposal. Could you lend me a few of them and send them to
The second day after Colette had been released, an accident occurred to Yvonne. She was rushed to the hospital.Susan contacted some of her connections upon hearing the news. Then, she hurried to the hospital too.Something had stabbed through Yvonne's right chest near her scapula. It was heavily bandaged.She had been detained for quite some time and was already in bad shape. With the huge loss of blood, her gaunt face looked sickly pale.The anesthetic had worn off. She was in pain, yet she couldn't move. She could only lay in bed and groan.Susan was heartbroken at the sight. "How did you get hurt so badly?"Yvonne was in a lot of pain. She held a deep resentment for Susan.Yvonne vented her frustrations, "I thought you didn't care about me? Why are you here? Won't I be better off dead? That way, you wouldn't have to worry about me!"Her emotions fluctuated and she pulled her injury on her chest. She gritted her teeth in pain. Dissatisfaction toward Yvette began to sprout.
Victoria and Benjamin hurried to the hospital.Caution tape and barricades surrounded the crime scene.All the hospital staff and patients did not linger outside, fearing for their safety. Moreover, because it was late, only the forensic team and the police could be seen.Louis was also there, talking to a police officer.He saw Victoria and walked toward her. He also gave Benjamin a nod of acknowledgment.He frowned and looked at Victoria. He said worriedly, "Why are you here? It's not safe."Victoria remained calm. "This was a contracted hit. The perpetrator won't be dumb enough to wait here and be caught after killing their target. Where's Ms. Susan? How is she?"Louis's reply was indifferent. "Her heart couldn't handle the shock along with the immense grief. She fainted on the spot and is currently being treated."Victoria looked around. She asked Louis, "Can we go in to take a look?"Benjamin tugged Victoria. "Why didn't you ask me? You can see it if you want. But what's
Four men stood in front of Yvette.They stood still with cold eyes, emitting a strong, menacing air.One of them stood forward and handed Yvette an old phone.She took the phone and looked through it. After ensuring the phone could not record voices, the edges of her lips twitched.She continued to look through the phone and found an unsent text message. A smile immediately appeared on her face.She put down the phone and looked at the men in front of her. "You all did well in your task. When you return, I'll definitely put in a good word to my grandfather."This is a small gift for my gratitude. From today onward, I won't mistreat any of you, either."Yvette handed the leader a check.The man accepted it. His expression relaxed slightly when he saw the amount."We won't be where we are today without Mr. White Senior. If you need anything, we will work hard to fulfill them."Yvette nodded in satisfaction and allowed them to leave.She turned on the phone and memorized the lo
Victoria was in the middle of making preparations for next week's showcase with multiple high schools. She had finally confirmed the rules for Fortuna's exchange program between the schools.If the showcase was successful, she could return to Youngville with Benjamin in a few days.Albeit Benjamin was in no hurry to Youngville.Victoria was anxious. She knew it wasn't good for Benjamin to stay in Danube City for too long.She hesitated for a few seconds and declined, "I don't have time."Elizabeth looked at the pair of empty eyes on the hospital bed.She lost her friendly tone and sounded somewhat angry. "What are you busy doing? Vicky, no matter what, Susan is still your teacher."She had taught you for many years. Such a big thing has happened to her, shouldn't you visit her?"She continued, "I'm only asking that you visit her, not take care of her. It won't take too much of your time. We also haven't met in a long time. Don't you want to see me?""Ms. Susan will only be agi
Victoria was shocked. She weighed the gun in her hands and looked at Benjamin excitedly. "It's real!"Benjamin looked serious as he said with a hint of arrogance, "Of course. Everything I give you is real, none of it is fake!"Victoria smiled and looked at the gun in her hands. She loved it."Benjamin, I love it. No wonder so many women want you. You're amazing!"Victoria gave Benjamin a thumbs up.Benjamin couldn't help but smile. He asked, "Do you feel better now?"Victoria nodded intensely. She leaned on Benjamin. "I must have saved a country in my past life."She continued to say, "Benjamin, did you install a mood tracker on me? Every time I'm in a bad mood, you would appear. Once I see you, all my bad moods will disappear."My heart is now setting off firecrackers. If I didn't do so much good, why would I be rewarded with so much good? I must have used up all my luck to meet you!"Although Elizabeth was biased toward Ginny, she still treated Victoria well enough. She coul
