Chapter 330
Soon, a housekeeper from Yandell Mansion opened the door. When she saw Yvetteâs ordinary attire, a trace of disdain flashed in her eyes.
âMs. Snyder, I presume?â
âYes. Iâm here to see Yara and Terrence.â
The housekeeper let them in. On the way to the living room, she informed Yvette, âMadam Yara has gone out for tea. Mr. Terrence is at home.â
Madam Yaraâ¦
Mr. Terrenceâ¦
It seemed that Yara and Terrence had been living quite well these past few years.
Terrence was already waiting for Yvette in the living room. He was dressed in an expensive custom suit and wore a Patek Philippe watch worth millions. Even a single button on his cufflinks cost hundreds of thousands of dollars.
When Yvette came in, he was holding and admiring a worldâfamous painting.
Clearly, he didnât understand the essence of the painting. He directly asked the person who had delivered it, âHow much is this painting?â
âMy boss bought it for one billion dollars,â the person replied flatteringly.
âOne billion dollars? Okay, Iâll take it. Tell your boss I will handle his excess inventory.â
âYes, sir!â
The person who had delivered the painting carefully left after receiving Terrenceâs response.
Terrence had an arrogant expression as he threw the painting to the housekeeper: âPut it in my treasure room.â
He hadnât spared a single look at Yvette the whole time.
Yvette didnât mind. Seeing everything that Terrence had now, she understood how important the will in her possession was.
Ray stood guard outside the living room.
When they arrived, the housekeeper had already informed Terrence. He finally looked at Yvette with mockery in his eyes and approached her.
âYouâre not divorcing Xavier because of that man you have on the side, are you?â
The divorce lawsuit between Yvette and Xavier was known worldwide, so naturally, Terrence knew about it. He, like Yara, thought Yvette was foolish and beyond help. How could she so easily give up the backing of the influential Lane family?
Yvette didnât answer him. Instead, she simply demanded, âWithdraw the lawsuit immediately!â

Terrence had not seen her so determined since the last time she had attempted to end her life. He couldnât help but sneer. âWhy should I?â
Yvette didnât waste her time saying another word. She handed him the will that James had left behind. âThis is the will that Dad made behind your and Madam Yaraâs back.â
Terrence was initially stunned. Then, he took it and read it, his eyes widening in shock.
James had actually made alternative plans. He intended to leave all his businesses to⦠Yvette?
The will not only had Jamesâ signature but also his official seal and fingerprint, making it undeniably authentic.
Without a second thought, Terrence tore the will to shreds. âThatâs impossible! How could Dad leave all his businesses to a deaf person like you?â
âThis is just a copy. If you like tearing it up, I can print more for you to tear!â Yvette took out several more copies of the will and threw them in front of Terrence.
Terrence wasnât so dumb that he would do that. He had been shortâtempered from a young age and was absolutely furious now.. He grabbed Yvette by the throat. âYou bitch!â
Yvette was already used to this. Since she had returned to Snyder Residence, Terrence had never treated her as his biological sister. Yara had always told him that Yvette was a useless cripple unworthy of being his sister.
Growing up, Terrence had been allowed to beat Yvette due to Yaraâs favoritism. That had fostered his current violent nature, where he resolved issues with force.
âIâm starting to regret it now.â Yvette spoke weakly as Terrence choked her.
Terrence smiled arrogantly at her words. âGood that you regret threatening me. I could beat you to death when we were kids, and I can do it now.â
âI regret not bringing out the will sooner,â Yvette continued.
Terrence was instantly infuriated and raised his hand to strike Yvette. But in the next second, a strong force lifted him up.
As Ray kicked him and sent him flying out of the living room, Terrence spat out a mouthful of blood.
