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
"I told you it wasn't me! Hah! Zachary Harper? Why would I sacrifice myself and the White family's reputation for him? Only a fool would adore him! No one decent will ever be interested in him."I came here because I trusted Colette. I was confident she wouldn't dare lie to me. She—" Like Yves, the others might think Yvette planned this to win Zachary over.The thought of that disgusted Yvette, and she almost blurted out her secret dealings with Colette.Frantically, Colette interrupted her by shouting, "Yvette!"Stunned, Yvette looked at Colette, who looked anxious. Yvette was satisfied with what she saw but came to her senses.She wondered if this had been Victoria's scheme to drive a wedge between her and Colette so that they turned on each other. If so, wouldn't she be falling for it if she told the truth? So, she stopped talking.Zachary looked at Colette thoughtfully.Several minutes later, the hotel manager brought the edited CCTV recordings to the room. Colette's makeup
Colette screamed, "You killed Yvonne, you murderer! What gives you the right to call me a pimp? You even planned to kill Victoria, but you were too incapable of carrying it out."You and your family are all murderers. All of you should pay with your lives. I'm telling the cops so they can put all of you in jail!""You bitch! I'll teach you for spouting nonsense!" Although Yvette was injured, she was well-trained. She was taller and stronger. After a while, she managed to hold Colette down.She covered Colette's mouth tightly with one hand and slapped her non-stop. She went all out, and Colette's dainty face started swelling within seconds.Colette tried to break free and retaliate with every ounce of strength. Veins bulged on her temple. Still, she failed.Yvette punched her, and Colette yelped in pain. At that instance, a sudden realization dawned on her. She opened her mouth and bit on Yvette's hand.She looked ferocious as she did so, and soon, her bite drew blood. Yvette's b
Elizabeth was glaring at Colette as well. Colette's heart sank deeper and deeper when she met her frosty gaze. As fast as she could, she crawled toward Elizabeth. She begged, "Grandma, although I'm not my mother's biological daughter, I see her as my mom all the same. You know how I've been treating her."Grandma, please. I've been calling you my grandmother for all these years. Mom wouldn't bear to be able to see me in this state if she were here!"Yvette didn't give Colette any chance to turn the tables. "Mrs. Warde Senior, don't be deceived. She's been obedient to Ginny, but it's not because she's grateful for Ginny's kindness. Instead, she's been using Ginny."She knows she's not related to the Warde family and only stands a chance if Ginny inherits the company. When she was detained for acting as a pimp, she asked me to go to Ginny so she could be released. For her sake, Ginny even knelt and begged me."Colette's head jerked toward her. "Shut up, Yvette White! Shut the hell
