Lily suddenly knelt down with a thud.

“Yolanda, I've never asked you for anything before. Now I'm begging you, just takenearby. | want to see him.
| heard he’s going to die. | want to see him one last time! I'm begging you, please!”
Her voice was hoarse too. Even though she had just been through that kind of ordeal, all she could think about
was another man.
Women throw themselves into love like moths to a flame.
Yolanda’s throat was sore, but she finally gave in. “Aunt Lily, | can only take you nearby.”
“Okay, the Lawson family sent someone to watch me. | don’t dare ride with anyone else. | have to trust you,
Yolanda.”
Yolanda drove over and parked near that address, by the bridge over the river.
She parked in a hidden spot under the bridge, where a bunch of cars were parked so no one would notice.
After Lily got out of the car, she scrambled and crawled up onto the bridge.
It was late and quiet now. Besides a shadow lying on the bridge, the only sound was Lily's piercing voice.
Yolanda looked under the bridge. There was a path beneath it, so she went that way and heard the voices
coming from above.
“Lily, do you think this man is your salvation? | was the one who sent him to seduce you. | gave him money. You
women of the Grant family are so laughable, still believing in love-how ridiculous! I've wanted to divorce you for
a long time, but I couldn't. So | had to use this method.”
This is the voice of Lily’s husband.
Besides that, there was the bodyguard’s voice, and he said, “Mrs. Lawson, I'm sorry.”
The simple mention of Mrs. Lawson felt like a thousand arrows piercing the heart.
Yolanda heard a heavy object fall into the water. Her chest tightened, and she looked down toward the bridge.
Lily had already sunk.
Dominic spoke to his bodyguard, “You've slept with her; that's more than enough to brag about. When you were

“It's because Mr. Dylan Sinclair treatedwell.”
“Hahaha, but you can’t stay in Beloris anymore. Take a sum of money and leave.”
When Yolanda got back into the car, she pressed her lips together, still able to recall the desperate emotion

Despite losing her dignity and kneeling to beg, she ended up humiliated again. This hurt even more than being
toyed with by a homeless man.
In a fit of anger, she jumped into the river.
Yolanda received notice the next day that Lily’s body had been pulled from the water, hastily cremated without a
proper funeral, and that her ashes had been thrown into the trash bin by Wyatt Sinclair.
Yolanda had been running a fever since last night, dreaming of Lily gently teaching her to speak, dreaming of her
standing silently on the bridge, and after hearing those words, despairingly throwing herself into the
river.
She thought that if Aunt Lily could choose again, she definitely wouldn't have beca woman of the Grant
residence.
Yolanda felt like she was trapped in a sea of fire, with someone feeding her medicine.
She opened her eyes and saw Charles's face.
She was leaning against him, and his other hand was holding a bowl.
He had probably just cback and, hearing she had a fever, cto check on her.
Her face looked pale, and her head was groggy as she slowly pushed him away.
She now felt like vomiting whenever she saw a man-these men really were heartless and cruel.
Charles raised an eyebrow and set the bowl aside. “What tantrum are you throwing this time? | just asked you to
apologize to Vivian. You haven't answered your phone or replied to messages since this morning.”
She was too dazed to even understand what he was saying.
Her chin was grabbed, and Charles looked at her face.
Her face was undoubtedly beautiful; now flushed red, she looked fragile and vulnerable.
For sreason, his heart softened. “I'll postpone the meeting to tomorrow. You meet with her once. Primecrest
is an important partner forright now, and I still need her help with BlueWave Shipping.”
BlueWave Shipping was a project given to him by Dylan. Its later-stage profits were considerable, and it involved
cooperation with the government. Vivian happened to have the right background, especially in maritime
transport.
The Sinclair family had been powerful for three generations, but few were involved in politics-too flashy and
easily scrutinized.
Although Vivian was a scoundrel, she had a very influential family.
Yolanda lowered her lashes and leaned against the edge of the bed.

Charles looked at her, as if transported back to when she had fallen into the water-a small, pitiful little thing.
He chuckled softly, leaning down to kiss her, but she dodged. “Careful not to catch my cold.”
For sreason, he felt a bit uneasy inside.
He had been busy lately but noticed she wasn’t as enthusiastic as before.
Yolanda had loved for fifteen years; she couldn't have stopped loving him.
“Honey, get srest.”
Yolanda murmured “mm” and closed her eyes.
When Charles left the room, he called Vivian.
Vivian was pleasantly surprised and couldn’t help but smile, “Mr. Sinclair, are you missing me?”
“You haven't ever mentioned us in front of Yolanda, right?”
Vivian started laughing. “What could | say? You think I'd fight with the official Mrs. Sinclair out of jealousy? Mr.
Sinclair, you are charming, but I’m not going to cling to just one man.”
She pretended to be carefree because she knew Charles disliked emotional entanglements.
Charles felt relieved. “I'll organize a meeting tomorrow and have her apologize to you. Don’t make things hard
for her.”
Vivian laughed from the side, “Is she willing?”
“She listens to me.”
Vivian raised an eyebrow, feeling this woman was truly pitiful. Her husband slept with her, yet she still had to
step forward and apologize. It was surprisingly straightforward.
“Fine, I'll just go through the motions. After all, that slap was witnessed by others. If | do nothing, | lose face.”
The incident where Yolanda tried to hit her was known by a few people in the circle.
As Mr. Sinclair, she really couldn't afford to just stand by.
Since Charles organized the event himself and gave her a way out, she wouldn’t be talked about behind her
back.
As for Yolanda, no one cared about her fate.
The next morning, Yolanda got up to wash up and got into Charles's car.
He leaned in, pressing his forehead against hers, “Is your fever gone?”
In the past, whenever he did this, her heart would race.

Now, feeling the dead silence in her heart, she suddenly realized with sadness that feelings can really vanish
in an instant.
She had spent fifteen years on him and recently saw clearly the rules in this circle.
Survival of the fittest, the strong prey on the weak.
