Yvette was sitting with the other White family members.They had nothing to say to each other. They were all on their respective phones.Yvette's phone vibrated.She opened it and saw that Colette had sent her a message."Come to Room 1808. We need to discuss something urgent."Wasn't Colette supposed to be together with Zachary now?She had come down soon for the party to continue, right?Even though Yvette thought it was weird, she didn't think too much about it. They were bound together by their intricate mutual interests anyway.Things would go south if something were to happen to Colette.Yvette pocketed her cell phone. She couldn't help but glance over at Victoria as she got up.Upon seeing Victoria's bright smile and exuberance, Yvette bit her lips angrily and left.Colette came down the staircase just as Yvette walked into the elevator.It was perfect timing. The both of them missed each other.Once Yvette arrived at Room 1808, she knocked on the door.The door wa
Ginny did not save the number in her contacts list. She took a glance at the number on her screen and trembled in fear.She snatched the phone from Colette's hands. In her nervousness, she swept her hand out so forcefully that the plates fell off the table.The people from the surrounding tables heard the commotion. They looked her way at once.Ginny felt embarrassed. She thought everyone had known about Paul. Her face was pale as if she were extremely sick.She bit her lip and sat rigidly on her seat. She wanted nothing more than to drop her head onto the table.Elizabeth noticed that something was obviously wrong with Ginny. She lowered her gaze and saw the phone that was clenched tightly in her hands. Her gaze then drifted to Colette.It was obvious that she was examining Colette with her sharp gaze.Isaac had also looked her way. He was visibly dissatisfied.Besides his dissatisfaction, he also looked worried.Colette didn't even dare to meet their eyes. Deep down inside,
Logan came over from the other table. He was smug as he advised, "Who wasn't wild when they were young? Zachary is young and foolish. You should take care of your health. Don't get too mad. At our age, we wouldn't be able to take such emotional distress."Everyone in Youngville knew Logan was the one who taught Yvette everything she knew.Logan had been the talk of the town after her incident. He had been so frustrated.When the incident with Yvette happened, Victoria had targeted them. Isaac did not help out. Logan had been holding a grudge against them ever since.That issue wouldn't have blown up if Isaac had intervened.This time, he would let Zachary and the Harper family become a trending topic. Isaac would be able to understand how Logan felt when his family was being mocked and cursed at.Seeing Isaac's angry look, Logan couldn't feel happier.While he was busy gloating, Zachary flipped over on the bed.The couple switched their positions. The naked woman's face was now
Logan glowered. As things spiraled out of control, his eyes rolled back, and he almost fainted.The staff onstage caught him in time. If not, he would've collapsed and attracted another wave of media attention.Logan regained his balance and frantically watched as the crowd ran out.Turning to face Isaac, he said with a straight face, "Isaac, you should stay here while I check on them. There must be a misunderstanding. If Yvette wanted to, she would've dated Zachary. I don't believe she'll make such a blunder."Was Logan trying to say that Zachary was the one who set Yvette up? Isaac was so furious that the veins on his face bulged out. He was about to argue with Logan, but Logan had already run out.Candace was also present today. Upon seeing that, she followed Logan. Yvette had been left on the shelf. Now that everyone had seen her naked through the live broadcast, she would have an even more difficult time finding her other half.She refused to let Yvette stay with her any lon
Ginny went red with fury, and her eyes reddened. Colette was watching her. She understood very well what it felt like to be harassed and threatened by a scoundrel yet be left with no choice but to give in.Secretly, Colette rejoiced that she had been smart enough and led Paul to Ginny. Otherwise, she would be the one suffering. She asked, "Mom, what's wrong?"Ginny came to her senses and walked back to Colette. She picked up her handbag and wiped Colette's tear-streaked face. Putting on a brave front, she said, "It's nothing. I have some matters to attend to."Colette tugged on her as she looked up. She looked frail and reliant—just enough to arouse Ginny's pity. "What should I do if you leave me? I'm going with you.""No!" Ginny declined loudly. Then, she quickly explained, "About what happened today, you must hold the Harper family and Zachary accountable. You mustn't let them off the hook so easily."You should stay here. Your grandmother's still here, too. I'll call her. She'l
Logan pointed a finger at Yvette who was on the bed. He was glaring at her and looked like he was about to beat her up. "To think that I, Logan Smith, have a granddaughter like you! You've disgraced the White family!"I'll beat the living daylight out of you, here and now! I'll expel you from our family to save us from further humiliation!"Nicole stood in his way and shielded Yvette. "Let's talk nicely. Whatever happened, happened. Are you serious about beating her up? You raised her yourself. Trust me. You'll regret it! Zachary and Yvette aren't the type to commit such a mistake. There must be a misunderstanding!"Yvette and Zachary sat on the bed with blankets wrapped around them. There was a clear gap between them.Zachary's face was swollen, and several scratch marks could be seen on it.Yvette wasn't any better. A slap mark was evident on her cheek. Hanging her head, she was shivering all over.Candace demanded, "A misunderstanding, you say? Nicole Harper, my daughter is a
Clicking on the shutters, the reporters didn't care whether or not they could publish the photos they took. They could worry about that later.Logan and Nicole attempted to close the door, but it had already fallen off its hinges. There was nothing they could do.Yvette heard the shutters clicking as the camera flashes blinded her. She completely lost it and forgot she was utterly naked. She had only one thought, and it was to take revenge.She was in this state because of Victoria. She must get her revenge.Without hesitation, she propped herself up and pounced at Victoria.Victoria's lips curled in disdain and mockery. As though teasing a cat, she got Yvette to chase after her with nothing on."Mrs. B, this is an eyesore. I'm leaving before I go blind!" Covering his eyes with his hands, Yves ran out of the room. Ethan followed him out, along with many other men.Nicole was stunned. Frowning, she wondered if Yvette was not in her right mind because of what had happened.Logan
Colette shuddered in fear. Her reaction was more exaggerated than Yvette's. "What are you talking about? How could I have done such a thing? Why would I even do that?" Colette felt uneasy. She couldn't resist checking the others' reactions, and her palms were sweaty.Clutching her chest, she cried bitterly, "I love Zach wholeheartedly. Since childhood, it has been my dream to marry him. And now, it's finally coming true."I've been looking forward to this day for so long now. How could you say that I set you up with him at my engagement party? You're like a sister to me—my best friend—and Zach is my beloved. How can you do this to me?"Colette slumped to the floor as though her energy had been drained. She was so woeful she looked like she could faint at any time. Her act aroused sympathy.As Zachary looked at her, he suddenly found his conscience and felt guilty. Then, he glanced at Yvette and immediately looked elsewhere in fright.Yvette's face was bloody and horribly swollen
