Yvette put her phone away. She cracked her krickles andzily nced 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 I 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. Heughed bitterly and, after pause, stated firmly, “No matter what, I owe you an apology


    Jeremiah said. Tve made my choice”.


    Ryan turned back, stunned.


    Jeremiah stood behind Ryan, holding a few foreign publications. His handsome face was chilly, his eyes narrowing slightly and gleaming with a sharp icy re, 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 dors. 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 nce back at Ryan casually Ryan felt a twinge of danger from that nce alone, giving him the chills. Jeremih nced sideways at Yvette, his voice slightly hoarse. “Who’s that guy? A ssmate!!


    With a brief pause. Yvette replied. “It’s Ryan.”


    Jeremiahughed, 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 anythingtely 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 home muchtely. 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 expect 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 ke’s son, nothing serious.


    Zachary did not seem pleased, so Nellie opted to drop the question rather than risk upsetting him further.


    Several dayster, 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 time Nellie fell asleep, she would dream about that day, turning it into a haunting nightmare.Text property ? N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org.


    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 notpare 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.


    He said, “Mom, don’t worry. I’m the only son in the Chambers family. Who else would Dad give the money to but me? Enjoy your life as an affluent wife, ying poker and shopping daily. I know what I’m doing. I’m just feeling a bit down and need to rx. If it bothers you, I’ll stop going out starting tomorrow, okay?”


    Zeke was good at coaxing Nellie. He always dismissed the matter with thosements 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.


    Nellie argued, “Zeke, how many times have you made these promises? Did you do as you said? After a few days, you’ll be back in the nightclub. Half a year ago, you got ady pregnant and had here to you, leaving me to clean Luckily, your dad was on a business trip. If I hadn’t handled it, have you thought about the consequences? The Chambers up the mess. family’s reputation would have been destroyed if it had spread


    Zeke only remembered the episode when Nellie mentioned it, musing, Thatdy is only a passing interest. Did she truly believe she could marry me and climb in status? He had previously sent someone to deal with her, but she managed to escape and find the Chambers family.


    The matter did make Zeke terrified. If Zachary found out, he would certainly force Zeke to take responsibility.


    “I swear, Mom, this is thest time, Please, no more lectures. It’s sote, if you don’t get some sleep now, you’ll look exhausted tomorrow. Lora, hurry, get some milk for my mom,” he said, considerately massaging Nellie’s shoulders and legs. Looking at Zeke’s attempts to please her, Nellie could only sigh dotingly.


    She said, “You leave me with no choice. Fine. Lora has already made hangover soup for you. Do something to make us proud. I’ve arranged for Winona to marry into the Carter family to pave the way for you. I also have a n for dealing with that brat. Yvette. At Winona’s apprenticeship ceremony, I’ll ensure Yvette’s reputation is ruined. Just wait, Zeke, no one car get in your way!


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


    In the faint light around the corner of the second floor, a face flickered, makin
