“You supported my decision not to marry Jack Yancey,” Beryl cried, “You were also involved in the car accident sham.” “Enough, don’t pull me down with you!” Yvette blurted out anxiously.

Beryl was dejected.

Yvette spoke to her as she wiped her injuries with antiseptic, “You’re my daughter. I don’t want you to die, but you may not have died if you had married him.”

Beryl wiped her tears off,

Her mother continued, “Your dad makes sense. Jack Yancey doesn’t live in the old manor anyway. We did not think it through back then.”

“So what are we supposed to do now?” Beryl was dumbfounded. “I’m willing to marry him if we can go back to the start.”

“How do we go back to the start?” The middle-aged woman sighed, feeling both love and exasperation for this daughter of hers. “I’m in a precarious position myself now. He would have thrown me out of the house if I had said a single word to defend you. Your food, clothes, and shelter can still be guaranteed as long as I belong to the Yeagers, do you understand? So you have to bear this alone!”

“But dad knows, right?”

“Him knowing is one thing. You dragging me down with you is another. He’s in an exceptionally bad mood now because everything’s so messed up at the company. Let’s not make it worse, okay?”

“Woo… Does he still want me?” Suddenly, Beryl was worried; she could not accept this fact. “He’s loved me so much from when I was a kid until I grew up. Has all that been fake?”

“Ryl, you’re still a child. You don’t understand your dad.”

“What about Violet?” Beryl gritted her teeth in pain.

She looked at her mother with tears in her eyes. “Aren’t the Yanceys giving her trouble? Why are we Yeagers taking all the blame? Someone could’ve said she was lying immediately! She is Beryl! Why must everyone believe her? She’s the one who humiliated the Yanceys!”

“If she’s Beryl then who are you?” Even Yvette felt that her daughter was missing some brain cells. “I’m telling you, I heard from your dad that Violet is quite close with Senior Yancey now. Senior Yancey has been taking action mainly due to Violet.”

“But this isn’t logical, this doesn’t make sense.” Beryl could not accept it.

“But these are the facts!” Yvette emphasized with a frown, “The main point isn’t whether it’s logical, the main point is that Violet has gotten the Yanceys’ approval! We don’t benefit at all if Violet gains the upper hand! Plus, she’s a legitimate daughter, a real Yeager. Do you know what I’m worried about most now?”

“What?” Beryl muttered tearfully.

Yvette glanced upwards at her as she rolled the bandage around her hand. “I’m worried your dad will go to Violet and apologize to her and get her to come back as his daughter. After all, that’s the only way for him to put everything back the way things were. Then, when Violet steps through these doors, her mother Xayah will come back to live here as well, thanks to her daughter. The two of us may be turned out to the streets.”

Beryl was shocked. This was a tragedy of epic proportions!

After hearing her mother’s explanation, that day seemed to be at hand.

Although the Yeagers were done for, they were still in a better position than most families, due to their previously ama ssed wealth.

This villa by itself was already worth hundreds of millions. If they could sell it, and pawn their priceless jewelry, they could still receive a small fortune.

However, all of that would no longer belong to her and her mother if Violet were to come.

Beryl’s worry for the future had superseded the pain in her hands. She stared numbly at the bandages, which had been soaked red with blood, around her palms.

“Mum, what do we do?” Beryl panicked.

In fact, Yvette was freaking out even more than her daughter. After being so cautious and fearful all these years, she had thought that she had finally succeeded.

Her main mission was to take good care of her complexion and groom herself so she could focus on keeping Theo on a

She had never made any investments, neither did she own any assets other than the jewelry Theo had gifted her.

She was afraid that she would not be able to survive if they were to leave him.

After bandaging her daughter’s wounds, Yvette spoke, “You should go out and hide for a while. Don’t come back. We don’t want your dad to see you and get upset.”

“Will he take Violet back? Will he abandon us?” Beryl was horrified.
