Chapter 229 Family Reunion In the Mountains

When Yvette received the message in Kingbourne, she finally felt a sense of relief. She noticed Ewan’s

missed call in her inbox, but she had no desire to respond. The profit from the Empathy Clinic was too

promising to ignore.

Coincidentally, her family in the mountains was once again asking for money. Compared to Ewan, her

true family were the real bloodsuckers, especially since they knew her secrets. Yvette couldn’t keep

ignoring them.

Fanny’s voice sounded urgent over the phone. “Yvette, when are you going to meet us? People are

asking about that girl again in the village. Your father and I can’t keep living in fear. Why don’t you

come to the village and take us away?”

Yvette’s mind raced. “Mom, I remember the village chief’s son has been looking for a wife.” Bringing up

this topic made Fanny uneasy. “But you were not keen on marriage, and now he’s taken an interest in

you.”

Yvette chuckled softly. “Mom, he’s simply drawn to beauty. You underestimate how striking your

supposed daughter truly is.”

“Really?” Fanny’s interest was piqued. “Then what about-”

Yvette interrupted her. “If this marriage truly materializes, with the village chief supporting our family, no

one will dare to meddle in our affairs. You’ll be able to hold your head high in town. And as for Gary,

he’ll have good job prospects too.”

“But your father and I are still keen on going to the city,” Fanny admitted bluntly. “Gary mentioned the

villas there are luxurious!”

Yvette sighed deeply. “I did want to bring you all to the city as well. But now, the Yates family is

bankrupt. Aunt Wanda has been imprisoned, and Uncle Ewan is hiding away. Even debt collectors are

coming after me. I’m afraid I’ll only drag you down.”

“Is that so?” Fanny was shocked. “But everything was fine…”

Yvette put on a sorrowful expression. “That’s just how it is in the city. It’s full of uncertainties. There’s

nothing like the peace and stability we have in the countryside.”

Fanny’s expression shifted decisively as she heard this. “Yvette, you’re absolutely right. You take care

of yourself. Your father and I will head to the city soon!”

“Alright. Given that she’s now a wealthy streamer, she shouldn’t be hard to locate,” Yvette said with a

sly smile. “Just search for the Empathy Clinic.”

“A streamer? Oh, she’s one of those popular internet celebrities we often see, isn’t she? She’s really

something!” Fanny exclaimed. In this era of the Internet, Fanny was no stranger to popular platforms.

Yvette lowered her gaze. “Yes, she’s quite impressive.” Yvette truly hoped they would suck her dry, and

preferably, dispose of her altogether.

Despite Yvette’s disdain for her biological family, she occasionally found herself

begrudgingly admiring their cunning tactics. Once Wynter reached the mountains, there would be no

escape for her.

As the night deepened outside the window, Margaret remained unaware of Wynter’s perfect exam

score. She had awakened several times during the night, eagerly anticipating the dawn of the new day.

Finally, the rooster crowed, and Wolf trembled in fear in the corner.

Margaret didn’t even bother making breakfast. Instead, she borrowed a senior mobility scooter from

Susan and intended to accompany Wynter to school to check her grades.

Following Wynter’s past habits, a text notification would suffice. There was no need for her to

personally rise early.

Standing by Wynter’s bed, Margaret watched her with a fond smile, while Wolf tried to imitate her.

“You all must be nervous for my correspondence college entrance examination,” Wynter teased lightly

as she revved up the electric scooter and zoomed away.

The school building was swarmed with students, all eagerly anticipating the announcement of the test

results.
