    "I''m going to tell Grandma about this. She''ll be able to deal with Dad. Just wait and see! I won''t let this go easily!"


    Yvonne''s teeth were clenched in anger, and X felt a chill.


    She feared that if Yvonne continued to be this angry, one day she would turn into Geoffrey. After all, she carried his blood.


    Over the years, X had worked hard to apany and educate Yvonne, not wanting her to be like Geoffrey. Even after the divorce, that was still the case.


    X held Yvonne''s hand and said, "Vonnie, listen to me. Don''t tell your grandma about this."Content is ? by N?velDrama.Org.


    "Why not?" Upon hearing this, Yvonne instinctively became angry. "Mom, are you trying to protect them? Why do you want to protect those scumbags? Why?"


    "Vonnie, calm down." X grasped Yvonne''s shoulders tightly. "I''m not protecting them, but you."


    "Mom, what do you mean? Why do you think so?"


    "Vonnie, I just don''t want you to be filled with hatred. You know your grandma''s temper. If you tell her, she''ll definitely do something. Then your dad will know it was you. I just don''t want your rtionship with him to be confrontational."


    "So what if I be confrontational with Dad? Mom, I know you''re doing this for him. You don''t want me to make Dad angry. You''re always protecting him, but I feel sorry for you," Yvonne said.


    "I know," X said gently. "Having a daughter like you who cares for me makes me happy. Just listen to me, okay? If this gets out of hand, I''ll be even more heartbroken. Let''s leave this matter alone and don''t tell your grandma. I''m begging you."


    Seeing her mother''s sincere expression, Yvonne finally sighed. "Since you don''t want me to say anything, Mom, then I won''t."


    "Good girl. Don''t worry, I''ll talk to your dad about this. If he ever does it again, I won''t let it go easily."


    X could endure anything, but Yvonne was her bottom line. This was her precious daughter! No one could harm her, not even Geoffrey.


    Suddenly, X heard the sound of a car outside. She realized that Chandra might have returned.


    She hurriedly took Yvonne''s hand and said, "Vonnie,e to the room with me."


    Once in the room, X quickly covered the red marks on Yvonne''s neck with concealer.


    Fortunately, the marks weren''t that noticeable anymore. With the concealer, they were practically invisible.


    "Vonnie, you mustn''t tell your grandma about this, okay? Do it for Mom? Please?"


    Yvonne knew her mother well. When

    Just then, someone knocked on the door.


    A voice rang out. "X! I heard Vonnie ising, right?"


    X held Yvonne''s shoulders. "Do you understand what I told you?"


    Although Yvonne was a bit


    unconvinced, X was her mother. Since X was pleading like this, refusing would surely hurt her.


    So, Yvonne nodded. "Yes."


    After wiping her tears and rposing herself, the mother and daughter walked out of the room together.
