Chapter 45

Yvette’s indifference made Zachary heartbroken. He truly didn’t know how to handle this daughter of his.

Zachary rubbed his head, feeling frustrated.

Yvette was ready to walk away.

Zachary quickly said. “Come home. Yvette. I was just angry and The hair on Yvette’s forehead hung down as her brow furrowed slightly with a hint of impatience. Her demeanor was cold. and firm. “No need. The dorm is fine.”

Zachary steadied himself, his tone tired. “Yvette, if you don’t want to return to the Chambers family, you can stay at the mansion I’ve given to you. It’s...”

Zachary paused, lost in memories. He and Lilian had their happiest times at that mansion. But since she left without saying goodbye, he rarely went there anymore, afraid that the place would bring back emotions.

Yvette looked up. Seeing the sadness in Zachary’s eyes annoyed her. To her, it was worthless to show affection now. “If you’re done talking. I’m off Yvette’s words pulled Zachary back from his thoughts. That was the place where your mother and I used to live. I’ll have Lucas bring you the keys tomorrow.”

Yvette didn’t respond and turned to leave.

Zachary instructed Lucas to find out what Yvette had ordered. He thought she was with her classmates and wanted to pay her bill After ten minutes, Lucas came back looking shocked. He didn’t speak for a while.

Zachary sensed something was off and asked, “What’s the matter? Did you pay Yvette’s bill?”

Lucas hesitated, words stuck in his throat. He needed a moment to organize his thoughts. The news he received was shocking and hard to take in. “Mr. Chambers, I asked the front desk where Miss Yvette was sitting, and they said she was in the VIP Room.”

Zachary sobered up. The VIP Room?

Few people were aware that the steakhouse was owned by Wyatt Zachary only discovered its connection to Wyatt after he unexpectedly saw Wyatt’s wife managing the place and did some thorough investigation.

He wondered, We were unable to book the VIP Room, as it was set aside for honored guests. How did Yvette manage to have a meal there?”

Lucas‘ reply shocked Zachary. “Mr. Chambers, by the time I arrived, someone had already paid ber bill Zachary asked, “Who?”

Lucas‘ stern voice was tinged with a slight tremor. “Sir, it was Wyatt!”

Momentarily confused, Zachary asked again, “Who?”

Lucas confidently repeated. “Sir, it was Wyatt, Mr. Langford”

Zachary’s eyes widened as he looked at Lucas, whose expression confirmed that the information was indeed true.

1/3 16:09 Mon, Oct 7 G B Chapter 45 “How did Yvette get involved with Wyatt?‘ In a moment, Zachary imagined the worst–case scenario–Yvette had become Wyatt’s mistress. Otherwise, he couldn’t figure out what kind of relationship they could possibly have.

Zachary was furious as he thought of that. “My daughter is only 20 years old, and Wyatt is much older than she is. How disgraceful!

Lucas initially had the same thought but then reconsidered, finding it unlikely.

He didn’t think Yvette was the type to do that. Her pride wouldn’t permit her to become anyone’s mistress.

Seeing Zachary clutch his chest, Lucas quickly pulled out the medicine he had prepared from his pocket and Zachary, gave it to After taking the medicine. Zachary felt a little better but still spoke weakly. “Bring Yvette back. I need to speak to her. If she has done anything to disgrace the Chambers family, I won’t forgive her.”

Lucas felt Zachary was overly worried and losing his composure. He thought, The relationship between Mr. Chambers and Ms.

Zeller had already hit rock bottom. If he keeps blaming her without understanding the situation, their father–daughter bond might really be severed”

Lucas said. “Mr. Chambers, I don’t think Ms. Zeller would do something like that. I suggest you wait a bit. There might be a misunderstanding.

Zachary looked displeased but couldn’t let it go. He took out his phone and called Yvette.

When Yvette returned to the private room, Tobias and the others had left, leaving only Jeremiah, who stared intently at her. His dark eyes were sparkling, his skin was pale, and his voice was husky “You’re back, he murmured seductively.

Yvette nodded slightly. “Where are Bon and the others?”

Jeremiah replied, “Andrew gave your friend a ride home, and Mr. Sunderland left with that guy from your class.”

“Andrew?” Yvette frowned, Jeremiah could tell what Yvette was thinking and explained further, “No need to worry. Andrew just runs his mouth. He won’t do anything. Your friend is perfectly safe.”

Yvette looked at him, puzzled, her tone confused. “Safe? That’s not what I meant. I’m worried it might not be safe... for Andrew.

Jeremiah didn’t quite understand her words.

Yvette sniffed and spoke slowly. “Bonnie mentioned she tends to act up when she drinks. We just had steak, and I saw her secretly drinking a few glasses. The wine you ordered is pretty strong, so now...”

Yvette didn’t need to say the rest; Jeremiah understood it..

Jeremiah stood up, his trousers were straight without a wrinkle. He picked up his coat from the chair and wrapped it around Yvette’s shoulders.

Yvette looked up at him, slightly puzzled, as Jeremiah lowered his head slowly. Their eyes met “Let’s go. Andrew knows what to do. No need to worry, Jeremial said.

Yvette glanced sideways at Jeremiah but said nothing Inside the Jeep, Jeremiah drove while Yvette sat in the passenger seat, texting someone.

“How’s your driving?” asked Jeremiah.

Yvette put away her phone. Her voice, with a slight hoarseness after having steak, sounded particularly pleasant. “Not bad?

Jeremiah nodded. “Compared to your Frixyia?”

Yvette thought for a moment and said, “I can’t compare. I don’t really know Frixyia.”

Jeremiah glanced at her. Noticing she pondered seriously before responding, he knew Yvette was telling the truth.

He thought, “Yvette’s skill in Frixyia is good enough for her to work as a translator, yet she still claims she doesn’t really kno it.

Such a mysterious lady!

After that, Jeremiah focused on driving without saying anything further while Yvette closed her eyes to rest.

As they approached the entrance of Argrol University, a phone with a ringtone of a unique piano melody suddenly rang.

Yvette glanced at the phone number and hung up. The caller kept calling persistently. Annoyed, Yvette eventually turned it off.

When Zachary called again, he got a message notifying him that the phone was turned off, making him so furious that he threw his phone on the ground.

After dropping Yvette off at Argrol University, Jeremiah went to meet Simon. No one knew what they talked about, but Jeremiah became a substitute teather in the physics department the next day.

Early in the morning. Bonnie came to class with two dark circles under her eyes. As usual, when she entered, she saw Yvette lying on the desk, asleep.

People around were whispering, mostly about what happened with Sharon in the auditorium yesterday.

The story about Yvette and Sharon spread around Argrol University again.

Some said Yvette was too harsh, using a guy to bully Sharon and leaving Sharon no way out, calling Yvette cold–hearted and unkind.

Others supported her, saying she did the right thing.

The forums were buzzing, but in reality, no one dared to say anything in front of Yvette after seeing how Sharon was dealt with.

Early that morning. Sharon came to withdraw from school. She didn’t stay a minute longer after completing the procedures.

Bonnie sat next to Yvette and turned to glare at the people who were whispering.

The girls immediately went silent, not daring to say more. It wasn’t Bonnie they were afraid of, but Yvette who backed her up.
