    Carl was eighty this year. He went to Mysonna when he was young and single-handedly built the fortune of the Yoder family. Mysonna was known for its intense discrimination against outsiders. Initially, Carl did not start his empire through business; he entered the underworld alone.


    Back then, Mysonna was incredibly chaotic, and people needed strong ability to make a name for themselves there. Carl was renowned as the first legend among Clusian businessmen because he pioneered business ventures for the Clusian in Mysonna, bing the undisputed leader of overseas Clusian.


    To this day, despite the emergence of many outstanding Clusian businesses in Mysonna, Carl and his family''s leading position remained unchallenged Looking at Yvette, Carl could not help but think about how the younger generation rose. Years ago, when Damian uncovered Joe''s true identity, Carl knew Damian''s nature well enough to anticipate he would use Joe as a bargaining chip against the Yoder family. Despite being in Damian''s custody, Joe returned safely and even brought Yvette back with him.N?velDrama.Org: owner of this content.


    Then Carl found out that the person who shocked the entire underworld in Mysonna, sweeping through and wiping out three top gangs overnight-the legendary instructor of the Seventy-Two Chambers from the Goodman family-was actually the young woman Yvette who had just reached adulthood.


    Throughout his years navigating the underworld, he considered himself well-experienced, but when Yvette stood in front of him, the shock he felt was indescribable.


    Later, when he was critically ill and doctors worldwide were at their wit''s end, Yvette stepped in and saved him. It was said she brought him back from the death with just a few acupuncture needles and a few different prescription medicines.


    For years now, he had been taking the prescription medication vette left behind when she departed. Strictly speaking, the Yoder family owed Yvette two lives.


    Carl thought the debt of saving a life could not be offset by the billion dors from that time, especially considering the recent incident where Joe was framed and sent to the underground auction in Voraxia. He knew that it were not for Yvette, Joe would have definitely suffered.


    Carl had never owed anyone a favor in his life, yet with Yvette, it seemed he could never fully repay her. In hister years. found himself burdened with such a huge obligation. Carl lost in his thoughts.


    In the vast garden, only the sound of the wind rustling the leave interrupted the silence. Yvette stood there with her hands in her pockets, giving off an aura that was both cool and aloof.


    She looked at Carl and said casually, "The past is gone. With 1 billion dors, we''re clear now."


    Carl froze for a moment when he heard that, then he smiled. "Ma Zeller, you''re right. I was being a bit narrow-minded."


    he


    Lucas grasped the situation andmented how big-hearted Yvette was. They all knew Carl''s life could not possibly be valued at just 1 billion dors. Back when Yvette treated Carl''s illness, she did not mention anything about a reward. If it had been anyone else, he would have asked for a hefty sum. After all, the Yoder family wasmitted to repaying the life-saving favor.


    Carl said, "Ms. Zeller, pleasee in and stay with me. If I had heard you were also knowledgeable about nts, I would have had asked for your advice long ago."


    Over the past few years, Carl had been passionate about growing various rare nts. He did not want others to handle them, preferring to do it all himself, but every nt he cared for ended up dying, regardless of how rare it was.


    Carl was particrly stubborn. The more the nts died, the more he tended to them. Over the years he had spent countless money just on seeds.

    Yvette nodded. When Emmett watched Carl, who did not have any airs, tagged along with Yvette, asking questions and sincerely seeking guidance, he twitched the corner of his mouth


    Emmett thought. Today I really got my eyes opened. No... Actually, every day with Yvette is an eye-opening day.


    "The well-known Carl, in front of Yvette, looks just like an obedient student before a teacher. Really, who wouldn''t be stunned seeing that?"


    Lucas watched them from afar. Yvette asionally spoke a few words, and Carl would suddenly seem enlightened.


    H


    There was a significant age difference between the two, yet their presence was equally strong. Yvette had a maturity that was rare among her peers, along with the unique rebelliousness of lier age.


    Having such characteristics in Yvette did not seem strange at all in fact, it felt just right.


    While Carl and Yvette were chatting, a servant came in and whispered something to Lucas. Lucas'' expression became more and more peculiar. He turned his head to nce at Emmett, then looked towards Yvette in front. The servant finished speaking and moved aside.


    Lucas looked troubled, sighed, and walked over to Yvette and Carl. Emmett was watching the back of Lucas. He just caught snippets of the names Oliver and Joe mentioned by the servant


    Emment thought, "If there''s no surprise, Joe and Oliver had returned, and Joe probably has told them about what had happened on the hillside. Now it''s about Carl''s reaction.


    "After all, Oliver is his grandson. What will Carl do? Will he me Yvette for being too hard on his precious grandson?" Lucas walked up to Carl, nced at Yvette, and then whispered something in Carl''s car. Yvette stood there, waiting.


    Casually fiddling with a pot of flowers, Yvette paid no attention to what the two people were saying, Carl''s face continued to darken. After finishing speaking, Lucas left.


    Carl looked furious. The atmosphere in the garden suddenly became tense. Emmett immediately felt the tension. Even though Emmett was confident, he still felt somewhat flustered as they were in the Yoder Manor,


    Emmett thought, "Who knows how many hidden cards Carl has If a conflict arises, getting away unscathed might not be that easy."


    Carl looked at Yvette. “Did Oliver upset you? That silly boy has never been very bright. He probably misunderstood my introduction of you as a potential date and did something foolish like blocking your road on the hill."


    Carl was almost driven to anger by his foolish grandson and added, "Honestly, my rtionship with Oliver is pretty average. We don''t see each other much. He should be responsible for his own fault. Ms. Zeller, you can handle him as you see fit, without considering my feelings."


    Emmett finally rxed. He realized he had been overthinking; Carl''s attitude towards Yvette was genuinely sincere.


    Then Emmett wondered, "Why do Carl''s words sound familiar? seems like Joe just said something simr. Truly, Carl and Joe are family.


    They share the same approach. That guy Oliver, who''s being diiked by his elder brother and grandfather, is so pitiful. Criticism from his own grandfather must be truly harsh for him


    Lucas visibly winced when he heard Carl''s words, He thought, "Oh, poor Oliver. Why did you have to provoke Ms. Zeller?" Yvette raised an eyebrow, her expression indifferent, and said slowly, "Oliver is quite interesting


    Carl nodded reluctantly, "Whether he''s interesting or not isn''t my concern. You can rest assured, Ms. Zeller. I''ll definitely


    teach that brat a lesson and give you a satisfactory exnation:
