At Murray Manor, as soon as Yvette neared the gates, two people ran toward her.
âYvieâ¦â
Yvette quickly stepped back, avoiding them as they tried to grab her.
Tyler and Amy, once proud and wealthy, now looked like beggars. They were wearing old, dirty clothes. âYvie, weâve been searching for you all day!â Tyler said with a fake smile. âWe just wanted to see you!â âYeah, yeah!â Amy added, looking desperate. âWe havenât eaten all day. Could you let us in? The guards wouldnât let us in, even though we said weâre your adoptive parents! You really need to do something about those rude guards!â
Tylerâs small business quickly went bankrupt because the Murray family put pressure on them, and Jake sabotaged their efforts. Lynda also ended up in jail for using stolen designs.
Unable to pay the huge debts, they had to sell their house and everything else they owned just to cover what they owed.
Now, they were completely broke, living on the streets, and in worse shape than beggars.
After not eating for three days, Tyler and Amy were searching through the trash for food. They finally found out where Murray Manor was and rushed over to find Yvette.
Amy, looking dirty and desperate, said, âYvie, those guards were so unfair. You really need to do something about them!â
Hearing their shameless words, Yvette smirked. âWhy do you think I should help you?â
âOh, Yvie!â Amy cried out dramatically. âWe were family once! You canât just ignore us now that weâre in trouble!â
âThatâs right!â Tyler added, sounding overly apologetic. âWe made mistakes, but weâre sorry. Please, weâre counting on you. If you donât help us, weâll end up starving!â
âYvie, you canât just let us suffer!â Amy pleaded.
Yvetteâs face stayed cold. âWhy should I care what happens to you?â
Tyler and Amy looked worried. âYvie, we know we were wrong. We shouldnât have kicked you out or stolen. your designs. Weâre really sorry. Please forgive us!â
âYes, please! Weâre family. You canât just watch us starve. You wouldnât be that heartless would youâ¦â
Amy and Tyler tried to make Yvette feel sorry for them, but she didnât even look at them. Her voice was cold and clear.
I would.â
âWhy youâ¦â
When Yvette didnât react, Amy dropped the act and shouted angrily.
âYvette, itâs your fault weâre in this mess. If you hadnât exposed us for stealing your design plans, we wouldnât have lost all those contracts and ended up so deep in debt. You need to fix this!â
âThatâs right!â Tyler chimed in, showing his true colors. You owe us money for ruining our lives.
Youâre rich. now, so giving us a few million should be easy. Just pay us, and weâll leave you alone!
Yara and Irwin had just returned from a walk when they overheard their conversation. Yara, still weak from her illness, was furious. She stormed over and started kicking them.
âHow dare you come here and bully my daughter!â Yara was red with anger. âI havenât even dealt with you yet, and now you come right to my doorstepâ¦.â
