Chapter 200 My Mother Is the Culprit

“Is this your child?” The director looked at Rosalie with excitement and said to the person outside, “Let

him come in.”

Abel walked into the office and found everyone looking at him.

“Abell” Rosalie exclaimed as she crouched down and hugged him. “Mom missed you so much. Where

have you been these days? I couldn’t find you no matter how hard I looked. You seared Mom to death”

Cicely died, and Edmond got into trouble again. She had also tried to find Abel, but he seemed to have

vanished into thin air. Apart from appearing on the day of the funeral, no one ever saw him again.

Rosalie knew he was fine, he must have been hiding somewhere. Now seeing him perfectly fine from

head to toe, she also breathed a sigh of relief.

“Abel, were you here to accompany Mom?”

In this cold and indifferent police station, she had no family, even the police officers sympathized with

her. She couldn’t bear this feeling. and Abel’s appearance was like a flame, igniting all the hope in her

heart.

Abel’s little face wrinkled, and he pushed her away, taking a few steps back and increasing the

distance between them.

“Abel…” Rosalie was somewhat bewildered.

“I didn’t come to accompany you,” Abel’s small face was incredibly determined, “I came to be a

witness.”

“Witness?”

Rosalie froze all over.

Witness? What witness? Abel is going to be a witness too?

She suddenly looked toward Claudia, only to see a smile playing at the corner of her lips, strategizing

like a soul–reaping messenger from hell.

Her heart skipped a beat, and she suddenly had a bad premonition.

***

Yvette and Everett walked out of the courthouse.

“Now you are free,” Everett smiled bitterly.

Yvette touched the notebook in her pocket and nodded gently, “Yes, I was free.”

After receiving the marriage certificate, she was so overjoyed that she couldn’t sleep all night. However,

when she woke up the next day, all she had left was fear and worry. She had obtained the certificate

too hastily.

Without a proposal, without meeting the parents, they decided to spend their lives together like this.

She even started to worry, afraid that her family would find out, and even more afraid of being looked

down upon by her friends.

I don’t know what Everett and the staff said, but she obtained the divorce certificate as easily as the

marriage certificate, yet her heart felt empty.

Looking at Everett’s profile, Yvette bit her lower lip and said, “I’m sorry about what happened

yesterday.”

A car stopped in front of them, and the door opened. Seeing the person inside, Everett’s face changed:

“Mom! What are you doing here?”

After saying that, he stood in front of Yvette, looking nervous.

Seeing his subconscious gesture, Yvette felt a twinge in her nose and then lifted her chin, calmly

locking eyes with Everett’s mother.

Yolanda’s face was beaming with a smile, “What’s there to be nervous about? I could even eat you up,

my daughter–in–law!”

The sound of “wife” froze the two people in their tracks.

Especially Everett, his face turned pale and green alternately, looking strange.

Yolanda stepped forward and firmly grasped Yvette’s hand, saying, “Now that we have the certificate,

she is officially part of our family, Everett. You must not bully her anymore. You should treat her as well

as your father treats me, understand?”

This sudden enthusiasm startled Yvette and also frightened Everett quite a bit.

“Mom, why do you seem like a completely different person…” he said, casually reaching out to touch

his mom’s forehead to check her temperature, but she swatted his hand away.

“How come I can’t just have figured it out and let you two be?” Yolanda smiled lightly, but didn’t show

her inner dissatisfaction.

If this hadn’t happened, she wouldn’t have agreed to them being together, but she didn’t expect her son

to come out and get married to Yvette right away. Judging by the momentum, it seemed like it had been

planned in advance.

Was yesterday’s incident intentional on her son’s part?

Dissatisfaction and doubt surged in her heart, and she instructed Everett, “You go home first. Your

father is angry right now. Hurry back and apologize, I will have a chat with your wife,”

Everett furrowed his brow as he recalled a conversation his mother had with Yvette several years ago.

After that one time, Yvette disappeared and later married another man.

Yolanda seemed to know what he was worried about and said lightly, “Don’t worry, you two are married,

I won’t come between you.”

Married?

Yvette paused for a moment.

Everett took a deep look at Yvette, but he refused to leave and stood nearby, watching them.

“Did you hear about what happened yesterday?” Yolanda got straight to the point as she opened the

door. “Knowing about that and still being willing to marry Everett shows that you really love him.”

Yolanda smiled, but the smile didn’t reach her eyes.

Coming out of the courthouse, most likely got married.

She looked down upon the act of making a lifelong commitment without first achieving success.

“Now that we have obtained the marriage certificate, let’s arrange for both sets of parents to meet as

soon as possible and have the wedding ceremony early. We can’t delay any longer.”

Although Yolanda concealed it well, Yvette could still hear the irony in her words.

Yvette’s lips flickered lightly as she calmly said, “I did not marry him.”

Yolanda paused and furrowed her brow, “So, what were you doing at the courthouse?”

“Divorced.”

Divorce?

Yolanda widened her eyes and felt as cold as ice all over her body.

“Yeah, divorce,” Yvette chuckled, her smile deepening at the sight of her. “A few days ago, he dragged

me to get married, and today we are here to exchange divorce certificates.”

Yolanda was shocked and covered her chest, her face turning pale, as they spoke so casually about

marriage and divorce.

Having obtained the certificate, she got divorced again. Doesn’t that mean her Everett has already

been divorced once now?

She stared at Yvette blankly, and her heart grew colder and colder.

This woman had been divorced once, which was already bad enough. How could she have also tricked

Everett into getting divorced?!

“You shouldn’t have gotten divorced,” Yolanda took a deep breath and spoke in a flat tone, “Getting

married and then divorcing at such a young age, it doesn’t reflect well on your reputation.”

Yvette sneered, “Thanks for your concern, but I never cared about reputation.”

Yolanda’s face turned black.

Who cares about her, what she cares about is Everett’s reputation!

Suppressing the anger deep inside her, she forced a smile and said, “Yesterday’s incident had a

significant impact on Everett. I know you still have feelings for him. As long as you help him get through

this difficult time, I promise to give you whatever you want.”

When she heard her say that Everett had a significant impact on her, Yvette’s heart tightened slightly.

She was indeed too impulsive yesterday. Thinking back on what happened yesterday, she was always

feeling guilty.

“Everett’s reputation had already affected the company’s stocks, The Sherman family did not

acknowledge the engagement, and now it is precisely at this critical moment for Everett. If no one helps

him, he is afraid his whole life will be ruined.”

Yolanda’s voice choked, clearly suppressing something.

Yvette’s heart was pounding.

If Everett’s mother had known that it was her who did it, she would probably have fought with her.

After thinking for a while, Yvette lowered her brows and bit her lower lip. “What should I do to help

him?”

***

In the police station, after listening to Abel’s account, Rosalie stood frozen in place.

“Child, is what you just said true?” Director Shen squatted in front of him and gently pinched his face,

“You must not lie…”

Abel lifted his little face, his stubborn eyes swollen and red like a little

rabbit’s: “I didn’t lie, my mother is the murderer!”

“It was her who picked up the vase from behind and smashed that beautiful lady, sir. My mother is a

bad person!”

Abel lifted his chin, and tears fell down “pitter–patter“.

The atmosphere suddenly dropped to freezing point.

The people present had different expressions on their faces.

No one wishes their parents were bad people.

It is difficult for not only a child but also an adult to stand up and identify their own mother.

It was both painful and agonizing

It is indeed too cruel to let such a young child face the harshness of life so quickly.

Claudia squatted down and hugged Abel, while Abel held onto

Claudia’s clothes tightly, his mouth pouting as he burst into loud cries.

The last string in Rosalie’s mind snapped, and she couldn’t believe that Abel would say such things.

Her lips trembled like chaff, and her heart beat violently.

A heart–wrenching roar, the sound was mournful and piercing.

“Abel, are you crazy? Do you even know what you’re talking about?”
