After receiving the information, Ray called the police to have the men taken away. He then got into the car and informed Yvette, “It seems someone hired them. I’ll look into it when we get back.” “Alright,” Yvette replied. She was curious to find out who was behind the threat.
Meanwhile, Zoey was sitting in a car not far from the mall, hoping to hear news of Yvette’s distress. However, she received a call from Mila.
“Ms. Yandell, Yvette’s bodyguard is highly skilled. He defeated all our people and sent them to the police station,” Mila reported.
“One bodyguard? And he took down several of our people?” Zoey couldn’t believe it.
“Yes, Ms. Yandell.”
Zoey, enraged, grabbed her phone hard. “She’s getting off too easily. You guys are stupid as hell. What kind of useless people did you hire?” Mila didn’t dare to respond.
Zoey asked again, “How is the plan to mess up her studio coming along?”
“W-We haven’t found her studio yet.” Mila lowered her head, avoiding Zoey’s gaze.
Zoey threw her phone at her in frustration. “Why did I even hire you?”
The phone hit Mila on her head, breaking her skin.
Zoey was about to berate her further when she noticed a passerby looking their way. She quickly composed herself.
“Sit up straight and have the driver start the car,” she said with a softer tone. “Be more careful. My phone slipped and hit you by accident. Once we’re back, make sure to get a doctor to bandage that.” Zoey projected an air of high superiority, treating her charity as a great favor.
“Yes, Ms. Yandell,” Mila muttered. Too scared to speak, she kept her head down.
Zoey wasn’t willing to let this go easily. She realized that Yvette being away from Tirion made it difficult to deal with her from both sides.
…
When Zoey returned to Yandell Residence that night, Yara had been waiting for her.
“You’re home, Zoey.” Yara asked, “Where did you go today?”
“Sangine County. What do you want?” Zoey gloomily tossed her bag aside, plopped down on the couch, and crossed her legs. When Yara heard that Zoey had gone to Sangine County, she knew it was about Yvette. “Did Yvette cause you any trouble?”
“Mom, your daughter is quite
something. She told me just a few days ago that she had nothing to do with Jerry. But yesterday, Jerry went over just to see her.” Zoey wanted to see whether Yara valued her more or Yvette.
Yara, clearly favoring Zoey, replied with a cold glint in her eyes, “Zoey, don’t worry. I have ways to handle her.”
“Really?” “Yes.”
Yara thought about Viola. Since Yvette cared so much about Viola, she would be devastated if anything happened to the latter.
…
Back in Sangine County, Yvette started distributing clothes for the family. Since Zachary wasn’t there, she recorded a video to show him.

Zachary, now at Shaw Residence, reportedly had a 1300-square-foot wardrobe.
“Wow, Mom, the clothes you picked are so pretty. Love you!” Noah exclaimed, thrilled as he looked at his clothes.
“And I love you too.” Yvette felt happy seeing him so pleased.
Xavier, who hadn’t received his clothes yet, thought Yvette hadn’t bought any for him.
“Yvvy…”
“Here are yours. Take a look. I’ve bought them. Even if they’re not to your taste, you’ll have to wear them.”
Xavier thought, “Even if they’re not nice, I can’t see them anyway.”
“Everything you buy will look great,
I’m sure. Xavier, having learned from past experiences, didn’t dare to be as sharp-tongued as before.
Yvette was satisfied with his response.
“Yvvy, could you help me put them on?” Xavier asked.
With the family present, Yvette felt a bit embarrassed. “Can’t you dress yourself?”
“I’m used to my own clothes and know how to put them on properly. I’m not familiar with the new ones you bought.”
Viola chimed in, “Yvvy, please help Xav.”
