The next day. Jeremiah brought breakfast and knocked on Yvetteâs door again. This time, he waited for a long time, but no one answered. Just as he was about to take out his phone, he heard a familiar voice behind him.
âLooking for me?â Yvette asked.
Jeremiah paused with his phone in hand, then put it back in his pocket. Turning around, he saw Yvette, dressed in a white tracksuit. Her bangs were slightly damp, and her hair was tied in a ponytail that swayed as she walked, giving her a youthful energy.
Jeremiah was momentarily stunned. It was the first time he had seen Yvette like that. He quickly concealed his surprise, pressing his lips together, lifted the bag in his hand, and nodded, âYes, I brought you breakfast.â
âCome in. Yvette piped up.
Jeremiah followed Yvette into the room. Once the door was closed, Jeremiah reached out and grabbed Yvetteâs wrist. Yvette instinctively countered, gripping his hand in return. The two stood there, each holding onto the other, neither making a Jeremiah looked down, while Yvette looked up, their eyes meeting with sparks of tension between them. Jeremiah released her hand, his voice carrying a hint of concern. âYou didnât sleep well?â
Yvette also let go of his hand, raised an eyebrow, and replied, âI didnât get much sleep.
Jeremiah pursed his lips and dropped the topic. He turned and began setting the breakfast on the table. The flight this afternoon is a little after 3 p.m. Do you need to pack anything?
Yvette shook her head, taking a bite of the food, and mumbled. âNo need. Iâve only got one bag. Iâm ready to go at anytime.
Jeremiah glanced at the worn-out black backpack sitting in the comer of the couch, remaining silent for a moment. âOkay then.
Weâll head out directly.â
Yvette picked up the newspaper, which the hotel had delivered this morning-a rushed edition. The headline read: [Gang Leader Caleb Kerton and His Son Bradley Found Dead in Their Mansion. Both Died a Gruesome Death.]
That morning, a major event shocked Kransbay. The head of the largest local gang, Caleb, and his son, Bradley, were found dead at home. Most of their confidants had been killed too. Calebâs death caused a massive stir, especially since his only son.
Bradley, was also murdered With both father and son dead, their subordinates were in turmoil. Calebâs vast empire had no immediate heir, and everyone wanted a share of it. Even smaller families outside the organization were eager to make a move...
Just as some small families were trying to band together to stir trouble, Calebâs illegitimate children learned of the news and began appearing, demanding paternity tests. Once their identities were confirmed, all of them would have inheritance rights.
Even the government officials of Kransbay who had dealings with Caleb were on edge, fearing they would get into trouble.
At 3 pm, Jeremiah, Yvette, and the others boarded the plane as scheduled. Yvette napped during the flight. Sitting beside her, Jeremiah noticed her asleep and quietly draped his jacket over her.
Yvette, half-awake, glanced at him, paused for a moment, and murmured. âThank you.â
Jeremiah smiled gently, his voice soft and filled with affection. âYouâre welcome. Sleep. Iâll wake you when we land.â When he looked back, Yvette had fallen asleep again, her warm breath gently brushing against his arm, giving him a tingling sensation.
Jeremiah leaned closer, gazing at her, his eyes full of emotions. Then, he resumed reading Its book 1/3 15:10 Thu, Oct 10 @T Chapter 107 Behind them, Emmett witnessed the whole scene and let out a sigh. It seemed that Jeremiah had truly fallen for Yvette. Since heâd chosen Yvette, she was destined to be the future lady of the Chavez family. Emmett couldnât help but wonder if Yvette would be able to handle such a responsibility.
He could already imagine the storm Yvette would face in the future in Betrico. After all, how could the daughter of a small family from a second-tier city be worthy of the commanderâs grandson, the Chavez familyâs sole heir?
The road ahead would be challenging. But if Jeremiah insisted, with the old commanderâs affection for him, no one would be able to stop him. Everything was still unknown.
After a four-hour flight, they landed in Seacrity. A car had been arranged to pick them up at the airport. âLetâs take you back to university first,â Jeremiah suggested. Since getting off the plane, he had been carrying Yvetteâs black backpack.
Yvette accepted his help without saying anything. She nodded, her expression calm as she cleared her throat. âOkay, thank you When they arrived at the entrance of Argrol University, Yvette got out of the car first and waved. Jeremiah stayed in the car, nodding through the car window. âSee you tomorrow.â
âOkay.â Yvette replied, still as terse as ever. She slung her backpack over her shoulder. Aside from her captivating beauty, she looked just like any ordinary university student.
It wasnât until Yvetteâs figure disappeared completely that Jeremiah instructed Emmett to drive away. Barely ten minutes after Yvette walked into the campus, the campus forum erupted in activity once more.
Some people posted photos they had secretly taken of Yvette walking, and the comments section quickly filled with praise. There were only a few dissenting voices.
[Has our campus belle returned? Wow! Sheâs still as stunning as ever.]
[After winning the piano competition, she just disappeared. She keeps too low a profile. We finally get to see her again.]
[With Yvetteâs return, I have a strong feeling that our campus is going to be lively again.]
[The commenter above, stop pretending. You said that because you know Winonaâs apprenticeship ceremony is in two days.
right?]
[Oh yeah, I almost forgot! Sunday is Winonaâs apprenticeship ceremony and Yvetteâs welcome home party. Too bad we canât attend and see it in person. Itâs such a shame.]
[I saw it in the entertainment news too. No idea why the Chambers family put both events on the same day. Itâs like a recipe for disaster! Feels like thereâs going to be some drama between the sisters.).
[Honestly, I think so too.]
[Iâm sad. I wanna watch.]
[] think you guys ju [Shameless!]
ys just love drama. But you know what? Same here! Haha.]
Yvette pushed open the door to her dorm room. The room was silent, and Bonnie wasnât around. After setting down her backpack, Yvette went to take a shower. When she came out, Bonnie happened to walk in from outside, The moment Bonnie saw Yvette, she let out a squeal and pounced on her, wrapping her in her arms. âYve, youâre finally back!
Iâve missed you so, maveribay. Iâve lost three pounds!â

Chapter 107 Yvette pulled Bonnie off of her and hung up her towel. She then turned to take a good look at Bonnie. âYeah, youâve lost weight.
Should I get revenge for you and beat up Andrew?â
Yvetteâs serious tone left Bonnie dumbfounded. She wondered Yvette was really thinking about hitting Andrew. Bonnie flinched and saw the teasing glint in Yvetteâs eyes. She finally realized it was a joke. She was almost scared to death.
Just kidding. You seem to care about Andrew a lot, Yvette commented.
Hearing that, Bonnie flustered and shook her head vi
