    As Leni extended her hand toward Yvette, she said, "It''s good that you know your ce. But let me tell you, that pushing me into the pool issue isn''t over. But since you pulled me up, if you kneel, I''ll—”


    Before she could finish, a wave of dizziness hit her. She lost her bnce and fell back into the pool, creating a massive ssh.


    For a moment, Leni struggled to stand in the water, trembling as a cold breeze swept over her. Her face was frozen in disbelief as she stared at Yvette, panic spreading through her eyes.


    Yvette''s eyes narrowed slightly, her gaze intense, with a sharp, captivating lift at the corners. She turned and sat down on a chair by the pool, crossing her legs. Her face remained expressionless, and the oppressive aura around her was chilling.


    Leni was so shaken that she instinctively took two steps back, only to lose her footing again and fall into the pool.


    She iled and screamed, initially threatening Yvette to save her. When Yvette remained indifferent, she broke down, begging and offering a huge check in exchange for her rescue.


    Weakened from being chased around by Alice earlier, Leni quickly ran out of strength. After a few moments of struggling and shouting, she slowly sank deeper into the pool, until the surface gradually returned to calm. Yvette remained seated in the chair, her expression unchanged.


    Meanwhile, Cyrus and Dn watched the entire scene on the surveince feed in the mansion''s living room. When Yvette kicked Leni into the pool, they winced. Watching a so-called socialite reduced to something resembling a drowned rat, was almost unbearable.Têxt ? N?velDrama.Org.


    The turning point came when Leni insulted Alice, calling her a fool. Cyrus'' face darkened instantly, and his expression turned cold.


    ''The Markos family has outdone themselves, sending such a brainless woman to marry Demetrius and letting her spout nonsense in his presidential pce, even insulting Alice. A marriage alliance? In their dreams. Alice isn''t someone a fool like Leni can insult, he thought.


    Dn watched Leni''s wild behavior on the screen and thought ''I must say, that when someone is determined to court disaster, no one can stop them. Insulting Alice in front of Yvette was practically a desperate attempt to hasten her descent into hell.''


    He thought grimly, ''If Mr. Becker is here, Leni doesn''t just face her end today; she faces a far more tragic fate. But even in Ms. Zeller''s hands, her life hangs by a thread.


    ''Ms. Zeller''s ruthlessness surpasses even Mr. Becker''s, and with Mr. Becker fiercely protecting Ms. Becker, Leni is as good as finished. Her downfall will bring the entire Markos family down with her,'' thought Dn.


    He paused briefly, before thinking, ''However, Leni is still the eldest daughter of the Markos family. If she quietly perishes here at the presidential pce, handling the fallout will be difficult.


    Dn saw in the video that Leni had already sunk, and after a few moments of silence, he carefully spoke up, "Mr. Becker, if something happens to Leni here, the public bacsh will be a pain to deal with"


    Cyrus chuckled softly, his eyes fixed on Yvette''s emotionless face on the screen. "Did you see that? Yvette doesn''t know what restraint is since she dares murder someone openly in the presidential pce. Only Yvette would dare do such a thing. She has no humanity

    Dn remained silent. Although Yvette''s actions were indeed harsh, it was clear she acted for Alice''s sake. In the end, Leni had brought this on herself with her reckless words.


    Cyrus nodded as his expression darkened. Rising to his feet, he spoke in a low voice, "Let''s go to the pool.

    At the poolside, Amanda had already called over the security guards of the presidential pce. When she couldn''t find Leni anywhere, panic set

    Upon seeing Yvette lounging on a chair by the pool, leisurely sunbathing, she quickly ran to the edge of the pool and called out Leni''s name, but no one responded.


    When she saw Leni''s high heel floating in the water, she quickly ordered the guards to dive in and retrieve her.


    Yvette, however, remained seated, watching calmly, showing no intention of intervening.


    Amanda stared at Yvette as if she was a devil.


    ''How dare this woman so boldly push Ms. Markos into the pool at the presidential pce? This is practically murder! It is outrageous, Amanda thought. Terrified, she stood several feet away from Yvette.


    The two guards quickly yanked Leni, whose breath was very shallow, from the deep end andid her on the poolside. Her face was pale and her breathing was very weak, as if she were on the brink of death.


    Amanda was at a loss as she thought, ''If Ms. Markos dies here, Mr. Markos will not forgive me.


    "Ms. Markos, Ms. Markos, please wake up!" Just as Amanda cried out, Cyrus, Dn, and his personal doctor arrived. Amanda immediately ran to Cyrus and fell to her knees at his feet.


    "Mr. Becker, this woman is crazy! S-She had a gun! She tried to take Ms. Markos'' life by pushing her into the pool! You must stand


    up for Ms. Markos! She''s going to die, please have your doctor save her!" Amanda sobbed.


    Cyrus looked at the bawling Amanda disdainfully and moved his leg aside. He spoke coldly to his doctor. "Go check if she''s dead. Do whatever you need to do."


    Amanda, hearing the coldness in Cyrus'' voice, became even more frantic.


    The doctor set down his bag, crouched beside Leni, and checked her condition.


    Then he stood and respectfully reported to Cyrus, "Mr. Becker, the prolonged drowning caused some damage to her heart and lungs, along with external injuries, but there''s nothing life-threatening. I''ll perform CPR and administer medication: she should regain consciousness soon." Amanda was relieved and sank to the ground, gasping for air..


    Cyrus didn''t even nce at Leni''s unconscious body. He turned to the doctor and said, "Sort it out." Then, he walked over to Yvette, with Dn following close behind.


    Yvettey leisurely on the chair, her defined fingers resting on either side. With her eyes half-closed, a cold light shimmered in her gaze. Her profile was strikingly beautiful, too mesmerizing to look at directly.


    Cyrus walked over and took a seat beside her. His eyes narrowed as he examined her emotionless expression, and his voice was cold.


    "Leni is the eldest daughter of Mysonna''s property tycoon, the Markos family. After what you did to her today, they definitely won''t let this slide. You''re bound to face troubleter. Want me to step in and handle it for you?" Cyrus asked.


    Naturally, he had his motives. Yvette wasn''t someone who easily owed favors. If he intervened now, considering her personality, the rewards he could reap would far exceed the trouble of dealing with the Markos family.
