Chapter 669

“What’s going on, Mom?” Caroline asked, amused.

“I won’t know whether to refuse or not if you don’t tell me anything.”

When Marietta heard her words, she laughed and wasn’t as nervous as before. “So here’s the thing:

my private detective can basically confirm that my daughter is Yvonne.

“I’m not sure what’s going on these past few days, but she has been staying home.”

She continued, “So, the private detective can’t get her DNA for a DNA test. I’m getting anxious from waiting, so I want to ask if you have any way of getting to her.”

“Yvonne?” Caroline thought that her name sounded familiar. After thinking for a long time, she finally remembered. Yvonne was the girl who was engaged to Adrian.

“Oh, so she’s your daughter!” Caroline said in surprise.

Marietta asked, “Do you know her?”

“You can say that. We simply have a mutual friend.” Caroline asked, “Are you going to use her hair or saliva for a DNA test?”

“Yeah, that’s right! But since she’s staying put at home, the private detective has a hard time getting it from her.”

Caroline mused, “I have an idea.”

“So soon? Tell me!” Marietta said excitedly, completely losing her usual cold and stern attitude.

“It’s simple. I’ll just invite her out for some coffee. Then, I’ll tell the waiters in advance to leave behind the cup Yvonne used.”

Marietta immediately agreed to her idea. “All right. That’s a good idea. I’ll leave it to you, Carrie.”

“No problem.” Caroline said, “I’ll invite her immediately.”

“All right, good! You know me very well, Carrie. I’ll make sure to thank you when I finally meet my daughter.”

“Mom, you don’t have to say that. I’m going to call her now.” After Caroline was done, she hung up the phone and called Yvonne.

It took Yvonne about three minutes to answer the phone, and her voice was frail, as if she had taken a shock.

“Ms. Yvonne? This is Caroline. Do you still remember me?”

Yvonne said listlessly, “Yeah… What can I do for you?”

“Oh, here’s the thing. Your brother helped me a few days ago, so I want to show him my appreciation. But I don’t know what to give him as a gift. If you’re free, can you come and help me look for options?”

Yvonne said irritably, “No, I’m not! Can’t you just ask him directly? How the hell would I know what he likes? Besides, men are just duplicitous creatures.

“They tell you we can be friends. But then, they’ll text you the next day, saying we shouldn’t contact each other.”

She barked, “What the hell? How can he change his mind after a good night’s sleep? Is he worried the world will end if he becomes friends with me?”

Caroline listened to her rants silently and noticed the issue.

“Ms. Yvonne, did you have a breakup? Would you like me to lend you a listening ear?” she asked softly. Her voice had some allure that could grip people’s hearts.

Yvonne gradually became less irritable, and she hugged her knees.

She said, “He was the one who agreed to date me, but I don’t know what the hell happened to him.

He’s been treating me colder ever since he went abroad.

“At first, I thought he just needed some time to get used to his life abroad. But a week ago, I went to Macldo to see him, and he told me never to see him again.

“He wanted to work hard and become the top businessman in Sarcozia to pursue the woman he loved.

But what about me? Do I mean nothing to him?” Yvonne sobbed with a runny nose.

Caroline silently listened to her rants, not giving any feedback.
