Chapter 306
Yvette had no idea that Yara had come to Sangine County and seen her living in the runâdown house. Yara didnât contact Yvette either. She had only come looking for the latter because of the eight billion dollars Matthew had.
A few days ago, she had received a call from Daphne, who had told her that Yvette was still alive. She had also learned that Yvette had returned to Tirion and was working with Titan Corporation.
So, Yara had returned to the country; thinking that Yvette had changed. Unexpectedly, she found out that Yvette had taken Xavier to court and ended up being miserable.
Seeing how close Yvette was with Viola and how they lived in a runâdown house, Yara told the driver to take her back to Tirion.
While she was on the road, she called Terrence. âI saw Yvette today. That money definitely wasnât hers. You have to find a way to get it.â
She figured Yvette wouldnât be living in an old house like that if she had eight billion dollars.
âDonât worry, Mom.â After saying that, he asked, âDid Yvette say anything when she saw you? Does she know about Dad and Sis?â
Terrence wasnât talking about Yvette when he mentioned a sister.
âOf course not. Iâm also not letting Zoey know that she has such a useless sister.â
Although Yvette wasnât a big shot, she wasnât as broke as Yara assumed. She had composed many pieces of music in recent years and made a lot of money.
Since she had lived with Viola when she had been younger, she knew what it was like to be poor. She wouldnât be able to afford a hearingâaid, and she also knew how stressful it was to have someone with hearingâimpairments in the family.
Hence, she took out a portion of her money to help the children that were in need like her every year.
The reason she had chosen to live there was because it was Violaâs house. It was also where Yvette had lived as a child. Yara would never understand any of it.
That night, after Yvette tucked Viola in bed, she started preparing dinner for Xavier and herself. She made all the food that he didnât like, especially carrots.
Since Xavier couldnât make food for himself, he had no choice but to eat what Yvette gave him.
âHave more carrots. They are good for your body,â she said.
Xavier had hated carrots since he had been a child. However, after hearing what she said, he endured it and ate the vegetables little by little. âAlright.â
He was really obedient at that moment.
Yvette noticed that he had hurt himself again as there were more bruises on his forehead. She felt a little bad for him as she said, âRemember to do your dishes after youâre done eating.â
âCan I buy a dishwasher?â he suddenly asked. Mark would come to secretly help Xavier with the chores

sometimes, but he couldnât do it when Yvette was around.

Before she could reject the idea, Xavier added, âI want to buy a robot vam as well. If possible, I would
like to hire a few partâtime housekeepers too.â
âYou can get the dishwasher and the robot vacuum, but not the partâtime housekeepers. I donât like having strangers at home.â
After she had gotten married and moved to Dewberry Manor, sheâd had to do all the chores. When she had become too busy, she had asked Xavier if they could hire some partâtime housekeepers.
Back then, he had said, âI donât like having strangers at home. Youâre already pushing my limits by being here. If you canât handle the chores, go back to where you came from.â
In hindsight, she had realized that it wasnât that he didnât like strangers. Instead, he had clearly been trying to torture her.
If he really didnât like having housekeepers at home, how had he lived in the past? It wasnât like he did the chores himself.
âAlright.â It was the same old answer.
After hearing his response, she took out a card and placed it in his hand. âThe password is 247967. When Xavier realized it was a bank card, he couldnât help being confused. âI can buy them myself.â Yvette ignored him and said, âThere are 1.2 million dollars here. From now on, Iâll transfer 1.2 million dollars to this card for you every month. When you buy something, remember to record how much youâve spent. After all, my money doesnât grow on trees.â
That was also a lesson he had taught her before.
