Tristan's emotions were indescribable. He tried to organize his thoughts. He wanted to speak to Yvette.Should he apologize first? Or perhaps ask where she had been all these years? Or something else…Yet, before he could sort out his thoughts, Yvette brushed past him without even glancing his way. Tristan was stunned. He turned around, but Yvette had already gotten into a car. She spoke to the driver softly, "Let's go." As Tristan watched Yvette disappear from his view, it took him a long time to come back to his senses. As he was about to call Xavier, he remembered how Xavier had treated Yvette over the years and hesitated. Tristan had selfish motives when it came to Yvette. He silently noted her car plate number and sent someone to look into where she currently lived. The black Bentley drove down the highway slowly. Yvette looked out the window calmly. She felt at peace. It was strange. Why had Tristan been at the cemetery in the western suburbs too? Memories of Tristan bully

Yvette's fingers tightened. Xavier felt how tense she was and held her hands in his palms. His lingering kisses were strong and forceful. Yvette's back was straight and tense as she fought to suppress her feelings of resistance. She reminded herself that Noah and Zachary were still waiting for her return.In the end, she decided to go along with Xavier so she could get pregnant as quickly as possible. With this thought, she submitted to him. Xavier was taken aback at first, but then he relaxed. He unbuttoned his collar and unbuckled his belt. Yvette had just taken a bath. The fresh scent on her skin filled his nostrils, causing his heart to pound rapidly. Unable to restrain himself, he placed Yvette on the couch in the living room and undressed her. Yvette clenched her fists tightly. She didn't dare—or rather, didn't want—to look at Xavier. Instead, she stared at the light above. The countless intimate photos Daphne had sent Yvette of her with Xavier, along with her word

Ray saw Yvette in her nightgown, completely drenched and curled up in a corner. Her arms and legs were covered in red scratches. He quickly turned off the water, grabbed a bathrobe and draped it over her, covering her exposed body."Are you all right?" Ray's voice was loud, but it sounded faint to Yvette. She slowly regained her senses and looked up at him. She replied weakly, "I'm fine." "I'm taking you to the hospital." Ray tried to lift her, but she dodged him. She bit her lip hard. "No." "All the hospitals in Tirion are under the Shaw family's control. Tristan already knows I'm back. If he finds out I took something, he'll definitely tell Xavier! If Xavier discovers there was something in the wine, it'll be difficult for me to get close to him in the future." She forced herself to finish her sentences. She had faked her death four years ago. Without Claude's methods, she wouldn't have been able to fool Tristan. Now that Claude wasn't around, if she went to a hospit

Growing up as an orphan, Daphne had always hated being looked down upon by others. Tristan's words reminded her of the endless embarrassment and humiliation she had endured when she had first tried to blend into the wealthy elites' circles many years ago. "Just wait until I become Mrs. Lane! No one will ever look down on me again!" … Since Daphne didn't mention Yvette, Tristan figured she was unaware of Yvette's return. Meanwhile, he had been waiting outside Mansion Nine. "Mr. Shaw, Ms. Snyder hasn't come out all day. Should I knock on the door?" The bodyguard was afraid of making Tristan wait. Tristan refused. "There's no need. Just wait here until she comes out." When he had learned of Yvette's return yesterday, he had been more excited than ever. He couldn't wait to see her and ask her about the past. However, when he remembered how he had treated her, he didn't dare to approach her lightly. He ended up waiting for over two hours. Since Yvette had soaked in col

Kiki said, "You're not just a little kid; you're a troublemaker."Zachary patted her shoulder. "Since we're here, let's go with the flow. I'll admit my mistake to Mom when we get there." Kiki was on the verge of tears. She had been tricked by a child, and the worst part was that she couldn't send him back now—even though she was sure he would be perfectly fine flying back on his own. "You stay right here and behave. I'm going to call Yvvy. Otherwise, Viola and she will worry about you." "Don't worry, I left a note for Grandma. I told her I'm with you," Zachary replied. Kiki was speechless for a moment. She took out her phone and called Yvette. …Yvette was sitting on the balcony with a cup of warm water when she answered the phone. "Kiki." Kiki glanced guiltily at Zachary next to her and said, "Yvvy, I meant to surprise you, but…" Yvette was puzzled. "What's wrong?" "I came to Tirion. I'm at the airport now… and Zac followed me here." Yvette's heart skipped a beat
