Chapter 377



.

The Smith Villa was on the outskirts. It was a three-story building, and each floor was about 100 square feet.

Yvonne sat in the living room and clenched her fists tightly as she watched the maid unpacking.

She looked at the floor below and then at the living room, which was at the end of the hallway. He felt a violent rage roaring in his heart.

She stood up abruptly and said to Lucy, who had come over to help her unpack, “This place is too small! Have Joel move me somewhere else.”

Lucy didn’t even look at her and continued to order the others to send her clothes upstairs. “Miss Yvonne, I think you should drop the act – do you really think you’re here on vacation?”

Yvonne scoffed, “Even if it’s not a vacation, I’m still the Smith’s eldest daughter! Joel won’t let you hold me back, will he?”

Lucy pursed her lips. “Yes, you are the eldest daughter. But Lord Joel has instructed me not to let you go home for the time being. You must reflect on yourself here.”

Yvonne’s face reddened.

She clenched her fists and lowered her voice. “Tell Joel I know I made a mistake. Dad is still in the hospital. It’s not appropriate for me to stay out in the suburbs like this. Let me go back.”

Lucy lowered her head. “Okay, I’ll help her pass on the message.”

Even as she said that, she turned her head and pursed her lips.

Hearing Lucy’s words, Yvonne was relieved and went upstairs. She entered the master bedroom and looked around. Although it couldn’t compare to the one in the mansion, it was passable and could be considered clean.

She changed her clothes and went out. As she was about to go downstairs, she heard someone ask, “Lucy, will you really help her pass the message on to Mr. Smith?”

g Ɐ lnσ ν𝓮 ℓs․com, your storytelling home Lucy scoffed. “Did she just say something, why didn’t I hear her?”

The other servants nodded as well. “Yes, we didn’t hear anything.”

Yvonne: “!”

These unruly servants were bullying their mistress!

She was about to go over to scold them, but Lucy seemed to have seen her. She waved her hand. “Very well, since Miss Yvonne is here, let’s get going.”

With that, she turned to look up. “Miss Yvonne, we’ll be back first. Oh, right, your bank card has also been temporarily frozen. But don’t worry. There are ingredients in the fridge. I’ll have someone regularly send you the staples.”

And he left without waiting for Yvonne to say anything.

Yvonne didn’t think much of it at first, but when she saw the people who had brought her leave one by one, she got scared and followed them. “You two are leaving too?”

They both nodded. “Yes, Lucy just said we’re leaving.”

Yvonne looked around.

It was a suburb of villas on the outskirts. However, since it was so far away, most people came here for the vacations. At the moment, there were not many families around.

From far away, the surroundings were full of greenery.

She was anxious. “What should I do if you guys leave, who is going to cook for me tonight?”

They both coughed. “About that, we don’t know. The car is about to leave. Let’s hurry up and go.”

They pushed Yvonne and left the room.

She was the only one left in the villa!

Yvonne looked around. The sound of a tree branch breaking startled her and she clutched her chest.

Then she opened the door to the villa.

The Smiths had bought all the areas on both sides, but Joel didn’t arrange for anyone to stay here. She left the house in a panic and walked to both sides. After walking for 10 minutes, she didn’t see a single family.

The sky was getting darker and darker.

Yvonne became more and more afraid. She wanted to take a cab and go to a hotel.

However, when she picked up the phone, she suddenly remembered that her bank card was frozen.

She frowned. She had asked her good friend in the circle to lend her money on WeChat, but she hadn’t expected the other party to reply so quickly. [Sorry, I’m a little short of money right now].

Yvonne: “!!!”

She bit her lip, fingers trembling with anger.

Normally, when she went out, she was the one paying among her best friends. Now, she was borrowing some money from them, but they were all really so vapid!

However, as much as she despised her, she could only send her a humble message: [Just lend me $800. $200 is fine too].

The other part: [I saw a purse and was planning to buy it, so I don’t have any money. Sorry].

Yvonne: “!”

She could only switch to someone else and keep trying. However, the other party also turned her down. She kept asking several people until someone reminded her: [You should stop trying to borrow money. No one in the circle will lend you money].

Yvonne’s pupils shrank. [Why?]

The other party: [This is the information age. We’ve all heard that your brother kicked you out of the Smiths. The Smiths have high status in New York. Other than the Hunts, who would dare lend you money? We’re all afraid of your brother].

Yvonne: “!!!!”

She stared at the message on her phone and realized a frightening fact.

As powerful as her father was…as much as Joel respected her father, he was old now!

The Smiths had belonged to Joel for a long time!

This fact made her feel as if she had been grievously wounded. Her feet went soft and she fell to the ground.

She was finished.

She was really done for having offended her brother this time!

She went back to the villa dejectedly and sat down on the sofa.

That night, she turned on all the lights in the room, but kept shivering with fear in the silent night.

It wasn’t until the next morning, when the sun came up, that she suddenly realized that she couldn’t be cooped up in this villa without a neighbor to die alone!

No way.

She pulled out her phone and made a call…..

At the Smiths’ house, Nora asked Lily, “What was the score?”

Lily’s voice didn’t waver, and you couldn’t tell if she was pleased or angry. “It’s an electronic version. I sent it to your email. The paper version is in my hands. I’ll send it to you right now.”

Yesterday, when she returned to California, she took the cord blood and rushed the test overnight. He had found a testing center in New York. Taking personal charge of the test to make sure no one could tamper with it, Lily hadn’t slept all night.

Although she didn’t say so, Nora roughly understood the significance of the result.

If she and Ian were not biological father and daughter, there was no need for Lily to send another test report?

Nora narrowed her eyes and looked out the window.

Even though she had already guessed his identity, she still felt an inexplicable, complicated feeling at this moment.

Her father…

Just as she was deep in thought, her phone suddenly rang. She looked at it and realized it was Joel. She hung up on Lily and took his call.

Just as she was about to speak, Joel’s serious voice rang out…. “Nora, come to the hospital immediately. Uncle Ian is vomiting blood.”
