Chapter 298
Chapter 298
How could it be possible? Yvette didn't think it was possible. She had seen Karen before and Karen didn't seem like that kind of person.
If it was Karen who had killed her father, then Chuck and her.....
Yvette was in pain. This was not true! It couldn't be!
"Do you not believe me? I know you've met Karen before, so you should be aware that she's two- faced. You have no idea how cruel she can be. Do you think she had earned the money she gave Chuck? No, your father earned that money. She's a cruel robber!" Levi said. He was full of sorrow.
Yvette still couldn't believe it.
Levi continued, "Yvette, are you still going to refer to Chuck as your husband? How can you betray your father?"
"I..." Yvette's knees gave up and she sat on the ground with her mind blanked. How could it be this way?
When she arrived here, she had planned to figure things out about her family and leave with Chuck after that. So how did it become like this?
"Yvette, don't assume that Karen is a good person just because she let you go the last time. Be aware that all the money she has now used to be your father's. Did you know that? Every penny she gave to Chuck should have been yours, but she took it for herself. She didn't kill you only to take advantage of you and torture you. She is your enemy. She killed your father but lied to you about it. She wants you to call her 'mother'. She is a psycho, and this is how she tortures you!" Levi's tone was laced with fury as he spoke again, not giving her a chance to think.
Yvette was bewildered. She didn't expect this to be the case at all.
Was it true that her money which used to be her father's— had been snatched away by Karen?
"How could this be?" Yvette thought exasperatedly. She shook her head and felt as if she was in agony, uttering, "Grandpa, my husband—"
Slap!
The old man slapped Yvette and the skin on her face turned red from the harsh force. There was blood at the corners of her mouth. She cried, "Grandpa, is it true? My father was killed by my husband's—"
Slap!
He slapped her again and shouted bitterly, "Why are you still calling him that? He's the son of the person who killed your father!"
Yvette's face was numb, but it did not hurt as much as her heart did.
"If you don't believe me, you can ask her in person. She won't deny it. Yvette, you must understand. Not only did she kill your father, but she also took away everything that belonged to you. Her present car, her current status, and the hotel that she owns, all of these should have been yours. Don't you understand?" Levi scolded.
"But..." Yvette felt that even if Karen had killed her father, Chuck, who had grown up with her, was still innocent. It had nothing to do with him.
"Yvette, I know what you're thinking. Do you think Chuck is innocent? You're so naive. Chuck knows that his family is rich because of your money, so he doesn't dare to tell you the truth. He's afraid that you'll take everything back if you learn the truth. He's afraid that he'll become a pauper, that's why he kept you in the dark. Do you understand now?" The old man sighed.
Yvette shed tears and said in denial, "It's not like that. My husband is not like that. No."
Levi raised his hand and wanted to slap Yvette again, but he couldn't bring himself to do it. He sighed and walked away, took out a computer, and opened the video that had been sealed for a long time. He called her, "Come here. You will see that I'm not lying to you."
Yvette stood up and walked over. Then, the old man played the video for Yvette.
There was a man in the video. Yvette had never seen him before, but she could tell that this man was her father.
He was escaping and there was a woman chasing behind him. Yvette scrutinized the video as she watched. The woman was holding a dagger in her hand. She was very young, about 20 years old, and she was expressionless. She caught up with her father and stabbed his heart with the dagger.
Yvette knew this woman. She was Karen. Although it had been more than 20 years, she had maintained her appearance well. Hence, she still looked the same now as she did then.
It turned out that her husband's mother had killed her father!
Yvette's last hope shattered. She stared at the video and saw Karen pull out the dagger. Her father struggled on the ground and finally stopped moving. He must have been so desperate.
There was hatred in Yvette's eyes as thoughts wandered, "How could you do this? How could you?"
Levi looked at her and said, "Do you understand now? Karen is a cruel person. Everything she has now should be yours. She took everything from your father. From today onward, you have to claim everything back for your father's sake. You have to kill both Karen and Chuck to avenge your father!"
Yvette was now as ruthless as a tigress, she asked, "What should I do? Tell me how to do it!"
Yvette was consumed entirely by hatred.
"It's simple. Use the same method Karen did when she murdered your father and stole his money. Give her a taste of her medicine!" the old man answered coldly.
Yvette shook her head, "Yes, but my husband is innocent. I don't—" Slap! Levi slapped her across the face again, bellowing, "Do you dare to say it again to your dead father?"
Yvette's tears flowed down her cheeks, her heart was trapped within her chaotic emotions, struggling. She said stubbornly, "No, I don't want to hurt him. He is my hus—"
Slap!
"What are you talking about? You just saw how your father had died. How dare you call your enemy your husband? How will you face your father?" The old man was full of hatred as he berated her.
Yvette's entire face was red and swollen. After being slapped so many times, she didn't feel the pain anymore. It was her heart that really hurt. She sat on the ground with despair in her eyes. Karen had killed her father, so it was her duty to kill Karen. But Chuck was innocent. He didn't know anything. Was she going to kill the person who had spent so many years with her?
"Say it. Say that you will kill Karen and Chuck! Say it to your dead father!" Levi roared. Yvette was crying in misery as she said, "I will kill Karen. I will kill her to avenge my father. And I will kill... I will kill... No, my husband is innocent."
Levi was in disconsolate, he raised his leg and kicked Yvette. Yvette's stomach ached and she spat blood. He scolded, "If you don't say it, I will beat you until you die! Say it!"
Yvette got off the ground and her eyes were engulfed by anger and cruelty...
Chuck woke up in the morning but he couldn't find Yvette. He was scared. Where did Yvette go? Chuck ran out, calling, "Auntie Logan, Auntie Logan..."
"Yes, I'm making breakfast in the kitchen," Willa responded.
"Yvette is missing." Chuck was anxious. How could she disappear? Yvette was fine last night. Why did she disappear?
"I know. Last night, she mentioned that she has something to attend to and that she would be back either today or tomorrow," Willa said gently. However, Chuck was very anxious and Willa's heart ached for him. Yvette did not call home even once for the entire night. She must have been brainwashed. Willa regretted that she didn't stop Yvette the night before.
She couldn't do it because of Chuck.
Chuck breathed a sigh of relief. If Willa said so, then Yvette must have gone out for some matters. But where did she go? Why didn't she answer her phone? Chuck was worried, so he sent a text message to Yvette to ask her when she would be back. However, Yvette didn't reply.
"Don't worry. Go outside and wait for a while. I'll make breakfast for you," Willa smiled and comforted.
"Okay. Auntie Logan, do you have spare clothes? I need to change," Chuck asked as he did not have any spare clothes.
"Yes, yes, go to my room and get it. There are clean clothes there. I forgot to take them out for you," Willa replied with a smile.
Then, Chuck went into Willa's room. It was his first time entering her room, and the first thing he noticed was a pleasant fragrance in it. He went in and saw the clothes on the sofa that Willa had prepared for him. She was so thoughtful.
Chuck took the clothes and was about to leave, but then he saw a chest of drawers near the bed. One of the drawers was not closed. Next, Chuck walked over to close the drawer for Willa. Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
Willa, who was making breakfast in the kitchen, felt that she should take Chuck for a walk. Since he was in Central City, she had to do her duty as a host. So, where should they go?
Suddenly, she thought of a problem and her face turned as red as an apple. She had forgotten to close the drawer when she woke up that morning.
Willa put down the spatula and went to her room. She was nervous. What if Chuck saw the cat mask in it and learned that it was her whom he had kissed? How would she face him then?
