NovelEnglishChapter 52
Samuel went to the general store at 4.30pm, but the store still had not opened. He had a bad feeling about this.
Has something terrible happened to the owner's family? Why would they suddenly close up shop without a single
word otherwise?
After he picked Yvonne up, he noticed that her face was puffed up like a goldfish. It was obvious that she was
fuming. "What's wrong?" he asked, smiling. "The matter is solved, no? Or did Grandma not praise you?"
Yvonne harrumphed icily. "Today, when Johann brought Gareth to expose everything Harvey did, Grandma just
let him get away," she said. "All she did was tell him to go back hand reflect upon himself."
Samuel could only express a mirthless smile at her words. Sure, Grandma Sue would always have a bias toward
Harvey, but he should have been demoted no matter what. At the very least, she had to make an example of
him. The words ‘reflect upon himself' sounded laughably ridiculous in this case.
Additionally, it was not just a simple case of Grandma Sue being partial toward Harvey-Yvonne had absolutely no
standing in her eyes. It was because she had never considered Yvonne's feelings toward the matter.
She acted as if she had Yvonne by the short hairs. Did

she not fear that Yvonne cto an open break in relationship with the Sues? Such an arrogant old woman.
"Right. I only found out today that the man from yesterday was Johann. Why did he help me?" Yvonne stared at
Samuel, questions sparking in her eyes. This matter was obviously connected to him.
"Uh...l spent smoney to hire Johann," Samuel replied coolly.
"Spent smoney? How much?" Yvonne asked, curious.
"A hundred thousand."
"A hundred thousand!" Yvonne exclaimed, staring at him. This failure of a man actually spent another hundred
thousand! That was worth an entire year of her salary.
Now that she thought about it though, it was likely that she would have fallen into Gareth's hands yesterday if
Johann had not made an appearance. Furthermore, she would have been defiled by Gareth. She felt a little better
after she considered this.
"A rich man sure has money." Yvonne pressed her lips together, twisting them into a sour expression.
Samuel could not help but laugh. This sum was nothing but a drop in the bucket. She would get a heart attack if
she knew how much credit he had in his card.
They arrived at their housing estate. Samuel was parking the car when they ran into Lydia and Godfrey.
They noticed that he was driving an Audi. This was the car that had been parked beside theirs.
Here they were, guessing who had bought the car. It turned out to be theirs!
Lydia stalked toward Yvonne, huffing angrily." Yvonne, did you buy another car?" she asked.
The secret would have been spilled sooner or later-it was just a matter of time. Yvonne cast Samuel a side
glance. Then she nodded her head and admitted," Mom, I-"
"You aren't afraid that your grandmother will find out, are you? Besides, why did you buy two cars? Why are you
so insistent on letting him drive such a nice car?" Lydia shot a glare at Samuel and continued, "Don't tellthat
he begged you to?"
Yvonne waved her hand. "This has nothing to do with Samuel," she said. "It was my idea."
Lydia did not believe her. "What drugs did you feed my daughter?" she asked Samuel. "Do you know how severe
the consequences of an audit are if Grandmother suspects her? Are you that willing to throw Yvonne's safety

"Mom, not a word more. Weren't you two heading out? Go along then," Yvonne said.
Lydia checked the time; the cinema screening was about to start. Only then did she say, "Wait forto come
back. You'd better explain everything properly to me."
Yvonne released a sigh when her parents left. She gave Samuel a resentful look. "Why didn't you tell them that
you bought the car?" she said.
"Do you think they'll believeeven if | told them? Besides, | don't care about what others think." Samuel's
expression was nonchalant. Lydia and Godfrey would never believe him even if he said that he bought both cars.
Why should he waste his tand energy?
For the past three years, Samuel never really cared about how others regarded him. The most important thing
was how Yvonne regarded him.
"That's true." Exasperation flashed across Yvonne's expression. There was no use telling them the truth; they
would not believe it anyway.
Back at home, Samuel asked Yvonne, "Can | go out tonight?" "Will you stay at hif | told you no?" she
retorted.
