In Croedal, the pressure to be grateful to elderly parents could be overwhelming. This often left most people feeling burdened.
Yvette stood lazily to the side, not saying a word. Her delicate, fair face showed no expression, yet she somehow appeared intimidating.
Alexâs face looked even more sickly than when she last saw him. It wouldnât be long before his illness flared up. Once it did, heâd suffer immensely!
As for Yasmin, she had plenty of ways to deal with her, âMom, youâre weak right now and need to rest. We wonât disturb you any longer.â
After all the turmoil, Yara felt exhausted both physically and mentally. She nodded and said gently, â
Alright, Yvie, you should get some rest too. Youâve had a hard day.â
As Yvette stepped out of the room, Jacob caught up with her. He gently patted her head; his voice was steeped in apology.
âYvie, Iâm sorry you had to go through this today.â
Jacobâs concern washed over Yvette like a warm wave, and a gentle smile bloomed on her lips.
âJacob, Iâm not upset.â
She had always been someone who sought revenge and found ways to get even. No one could push her around!
Jacobâs heart ached with love and guilt as he listened. His sister was so sweet and considerate.
She had been wronged, but she put on a brave face to make him feel better!
With a determined glint in his eyes, Jacob vowed, âYvie, I promise you. Iâll never let anyone hurt you again.â He couldnât just let this slide. No one was going to make his sister suffer.
Yvette had just returned to her room when she received a message from the Dark Organization.
Dark Organization: âMs. Murray, we have something very interesting to tell you.â
Yvetteâs curiosity was piqued. Her fingers flew across the keypad to reply. âWhat is it?â
Dark Organization: âMs. Murray, get a load of this! Some moron dropped 20 million dollars on a hit on you! Can you believe it? Itâs ridiculous, isnât it?â
Yvette read the message with a bored glance, her eyebrows rising slightly. âHave you found out who placed the order?â she typed.
Dark Organization: âYes, we have. Itâs Yasmin from the Murrays, the wealthiest family in Jubilife.â
As expected! It was her.
Yvette was not at all surprised by the news. The icy glint in her mesmerizing eyes intensified. âReply to her that the Dark Organization has accepted this order.â
