Yvette put her phone away. She cracked her krickles and lazily glanced up. Her face was tanned and clear, her
eyes cold and sharp.
Ryan’s body abruptly froze.
Yvette said, “Get it
Her words stunned Ryan | turned out that he was worried about nothing and that Yvette did not care. She was
not concerned about what a stranger like him had done. Her response made him feel worse.
Ryan, who had been egotistical since childhood, had never experienced such indifference. He laughed bitterly
and, after pause, stated firmly, “No matter what, | owe you an apology
Jeremiah said. Tve made my choice”.
Ryan turned back, stunned.
Jeremiah stood behind Ryan, holding a few foreign publications. His handsface was chilly, his eyes
narrowing slightly and gleaming with a sharp icy clare, giving off an intense, intimidating aura that made Ryan
uneasy,
Ryan was regarded as a gifted individual from childhood. From everyone's view, he was the only heir to the Lewis
family and owned over 3.3 billion dollars. Yet, Jeremiah stood there, giving him an overwhelming presence. He
had to admit that he felt slightly inferior to Jeremiah.
“Oh.” Yvette responded
The two then left together, their backs inexplicably harmonious, leaving Ryan standing there dazed.
Jeremiah feigned to glance back at Ryan casually Ryan felt a twinge of danger from that glance alone, giving him
the chills. Jeremih glanced sideways at Yvette, his voice slightly hoarse. “Who's that guy? A classmate!!
With a brief pause. Yvette replied. “It’s Ryan.”
Jeremiah laughed, his voice low.
When Zeke returned to the Chambers residence from the nightclub drunk, it was already past one in the
morning. He had been hanging out at nightclubs as he had not been interested in anything lately and had been
sleeping with women, but none had piqued his interest
All he could think about was Yvette. That was because Yvette embarrassed him in the cafeteria, something he
had never experienced. So, he decided to put Yvette, the ungrateful woman out of his mind for the moment
“Zeke, stop right there” Nellie, wearing white silk pajamas, was seated on the couch. She had spent more than
two hours sealed there.
Zachary had not been hmuch lately. Winona said earlier that Yvette had been taken to the police station.
She was ecstatic. beleving Yvette would not get another chance to turn things around. However, she did not
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtexpect Zachary to go so far as to offend Daniel to bail her out.
When Zachary returned from the police station, Nellie discreetly tried to ascertain the reason behind Yvette's
arrest from him. After rounds of questioning he said briefly that she had a minor quarrel with Blake's son, nothing
serious.
Zachary did not seem pleased, so Nellie opted to drop the question rather than risk upsetting him further.
Several days later, the news that Daniel had been ousted was released, leaving Nellie anxious for days She was
aware of the
hambers family’s power. Zachary could not bring down Daniel the deputy muyor, even if he risked all for Yvette
“Was Yvette involved in Daniel’s downfall? This question stuck in her head, bothering her for days.
When Yvette stabbed Nellie before, she was cold, ruthless, and cynical. Recently, every tNellie fell asleep,
she would dream about that day, turning it into a haunting nightmare.
Zeke was startled, musing. A spooky female voice sounds in the middle of the night is creepy.
The lights were turned on. The mansion quickly lit up, as bright as day.
Seeing Nellie with a disgruntled expression, Zeke knew he could not dodge a lecture that day. He was not
concerned by it because he was used to it. Since childhood, he had only been scolded without further
punishment..
Zeke’s excessive drinking had left him with a hoarse voice and a noticeable alcohol odor in his speech. “Mom,
why aren’t you asleep? Sitting here in the middle of the night is eerie.”
Nellie’s expression was gloomy. Zeke was the child she had hoped for and nurtured from an early age, but in the
end, he could not compare to Winona in any way. To maintain his image before outsiders, she had spent a
fortune to help him stand out among the scions.
Besides Ryan, the son of the Lewis family, Zeke got the most attention and had the best reputation. But Zeke
was not living up to expectations. All he did was enjoy himself. Nellie had no idea what else he could do but hang
out at nightclubs and never return home
Now that Yvette had returned, Nellie could see Zachary’s kindness for her. She felt hopeless for Zeke if things
remained like this. All Nellie felt now was disappointment for Zeke, who was not living up to his full potential.
Nellie scolded. “Were you going to the nightclubs again? Don’t you know your dad already knows you often hang
out there? You keep indulging without restraint. Do you still want the Chambers family inheritance?”
The mention of the inheritance brought Zeke to his senses.

Zeke was good at coaxing Nellie. He always dismissed the matter with those comments but did not expect Nellie
to be so persistent this time. Hearing Zeke’s words did not alleviate Nellie’'s rage, in fact, it aggravated her.

Zeke felt relieved. If he could not have her, he would rather ruin her. Nellie and Zeke were up to no good.
