“Mom, I just saw Lucase to pick up Yvette. I think she’s going to meet Dad. Do you know what it’s about?” Winona asked. Actually, the fact that Lucas came to pick up Yvette wasn’t a big deal, hut Winona somehow felt uneasy


    When Nellie heard Winona mention that Lucas had gone to pick up Yvette, her expression changed. Since the pianopetition a few days ago, she had heard from Zeke that Yvette had, for some unknown reason, taken a leave of absence and hadn’t returned to university.


    Zachary had been busy with a foreign bidding project at thepany for the past few days and hadn’t been home, so Nellie didn’t know why Lucas went to pick up Yvette either.


    “Winona, you don’t need to worry about this. I’ll find out what your father wants with Yvette. Your main focus right now should be the apprenticeship ceremony in two days. Don’t let anything distract you. I’ll handle this. Yvette won’t get in your way. I’ve alreadye up with a n to deal with her. Don’t worry. By Sunday, she’ll be aughingstock among the wealthy families in Seacrity, Nellie confidently assured Winona over the phone.


    Hearing that, Winona felt much more at ease. Recently, Nellie had been treating Winona like a precious jewel, pampering her more than she ever did with Zeke. Winona had been living morefortably in the past few days than she had in the past two decades.


    After hanging up. Winona stared at her phone, standing in a corner with a satisfied smile on her face. It was her mother who was plotting against Yvette, so it had nothing to do with her.


    At the hotel, after ending the call, Nellie stood still, lost in thought, her expression vicious and malevolent. ke had gro


    grown impatient and grabbed her from behind, pulling her into the bed. Nellie went along with his actions, and the two enjoyed another passionate round.


    When things finally settled, ke reached for a cigarette at the bedside and started smoking. Seeing that, Nellie slipped out of his embrace, took the cigarette, and took a few puffs. ncing at ke, who was still panting, she thought, “He’s definitely getting old and less capablepared to the young guy I fooled around with recently.


    If it weren’t for the fact that ke still had some influence and could get things done for her, she would have dumped him long ago. Nellie thought this in her mind but didn’t let any of it show on her face. She handed the cigarette back to ke, who continued smoking withoutint.


    “The task I gave you-is it done? This time, don’t mess up again. Make sure your men stay alert, or you know how I can be.” Nellie said.


    ke knew he had indeed messed up the previous task of investigating Yvette, but it wasn’t really his fault. Yvette was just too mysterious. He had already dug up everything that could be found, but Nellie insisted it wasn’t right. There was nothing he could do but keep digging.


    Blowing out a puff of smoke, ke nced at Nellie, recalling the n she had mentioned for Sunday. Indeed, the most vicious thing in the world was a woman’s heart; he couldn’tpare. “Don’t worry. Nothing will go wrong this time. They arrive tomorrow. I’ll get them settled and wait for your call on Sunday. Then, I’ll send them over.”


    Nellie’s expression softened considerably as she heard that. She gently replied, “Good. Be ready. On Sunday, I want Yvette to be utterly ruined.”


    ke smiled without saying a word. If Nellie wanted someone gone, he’d provide the knife because he couldn’t live without her. The two cuddled for a while longer before Nellie got dressed and left for Chambers Group


    At Chambers Group, Lacas led Yvette to the private elevator that went straight to the top floor, exclusively for Zachary, Seeing that, the receptionists and some employees were buzzing with excitement. It was the first time they had seen a woman other than Nellie use the private elevator. Everyone was eager to know who Yvette was.


    One particr gossipy employee spected that Yvette might be the daughter Zachary had recently found. She shared this guess with everyone. Everyone was shocked because it was said that the Chambers family didn’t like Yvette.Text property ? N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

    As expected, rumors were just rumors and couldn’t be trusted at all. In all those years, the employees at Chambers Group had only seen Nellie a few times. They had never seen any other Chambers family members, only Zachary’s children, in the


    entertainment news


    They only knew about the uing banquet where Winona would formally be the apprentice of the president of the Art Association. Yet, this recently found daughter was able to enter Chambers Group first, personally escorted by the chairman’s butler.


    The ordinary employees didn’t think too much of it, considering it normal. But the senior employees who had been with Zachary for many years saw this as a significant sign.


    Inside the chairman’s office, Zachary frowned deeply, his refined face showing signs of exhaustion. He had been staring at the document in his hand for two hours. Finally, he sighed and signed his name at the bottom of the page. From that moment, the document became legally binding.


    Knock Knock!


    “Mr. Chambers, I’ve brought Ms. Zeller over, Lucas uttered.


    Zachary stood up excitedly. He thought Lucas might have to put in some effort to bring Yvette over, but she had arrived much sooner than expected. Nervously, Zachary straightened his suit, making sure everything was in order before saying. “Come in.” Though Zachary tried to keep his voice calm, Yvette could still hear the excitement in it from outside the door.


    Lucas opened the door and bowed slightly, gesturing for Yvette to enter first. With her hands in the pocket, Yvette walked into the office leisurely with her lung legs.


    From Zachary’s perspective, he could see her beautiful profile. Her eyshes were long and beautifully curled. Zachary couldn’t help but be struck by how much she resembled Lilian. He greeted Yvette warmly, “Yvette, you’re here.”


    still


    Yvette nodded, then casually found a seat on the couch and crossed her legs. She nced at Zachary, who was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window in his suit, smiling at her. Her tone was indifferent. “What’s up?” She was still as aloof as


    ever.


    Zachary thought for a moment, then walked over with the document he had just signed in his hand. Lucas, ever observant, poured coffee for the two and stepped aside, bowing his head.


    Zachary sat down on the couch opposite Yvette and handed her the document. His eyes were fixed on her as he said sincerely. “Take a look at this document. If there are no issues, I have thewyer process it.”


    Yvette picked the document up and nced at it. It was a will. She was slightly taken aback but didn’t even bother to read its contents before tossing it back onto the table.


    “This is my will. Why is she treating it like trash?’ Zachary mused. He was about to lose his mind. “What’s the meaning of this?” he asked. Zachary hadn’t expected Yvette to be so disinterested in his will. While he knew she wasn’t living as badly as he had once imagined, Chambers Group wasn’t a small asset. Isn’t she tempted at all? he wondered.


    Yvette took out a piece of vani toffee and popped it into her mouth right in front of Zachary, savoring it. The next moment, she inquired, “Are you dying? Why make a will now?”
