Chapter 51
Last night at Martha's birthday banquet, Berry was forced by Yvette to betray Xanthe, and when she got home, she was severely scolded by her parents and grounded. When Yvette came over, Berry's parents were a little displeased, but for the sake of the Nelson family, they didn't show it. "Berry is in her bedroom, Ms. Nelson. Make yourself at home." Yvette said, "Okay, thank you, Mr. and Mrs. White."
Berry was quite surprised to see Yvette. She warily kept her distance and growled, "Don't come any closer. What do you want from me?" Yvette smiled at h at her gently and s acting. Yvette!" said Berry.

and said, "What's wrong, Berry? Why are you afraid of me?"
When Yvette turned against Xanthe without hesitation last night, Berry and Xanthe finally realized how selfish and malicious their friend was. Yvette didn't bother to pretend in front of Berry anymore. She had always found Berry useless among them, but she didn't expect that Berry would have a chance to help her. She got straight to the point and said, "I won't beat around the bush with you. Let's work team up." "Who would dare to cooperate with someone as hypocritical as you, Yvette? I'm not a fool like Xanthe," said Berry.
Hearing this, Yvette smiled with her eyes, which had always been as innocent as those of a bunny, now revealing her scheming. "Aren't you going to thank me for what happened last night?"
Berry seemed to I to have heard a

this time for an important thing." With that, Yvette took out a necklace with a half-broken bullet. "When you meet Mr. Lopez later, you should say that this necklace was a gift from you to me."
"Mr. Lopez?" Berry was confused.
Yvette explained the whole story to Berry, which shocked her. "Are you crazy, Yvette? You want me to lie to Mr. Lopez, right? Don't get me involved in this!"
Compared to the panicked Berry, Yvette was much more composed. "We're just telling him the truth. I don't know why Mr. Lopez is looking for the owner of this necklace, but it's clear that he only has this necklace as a clue. Your memories from the
abroad have been erased by the White family, and when you came back, you claimed to have lost the three years past memory of those three years and it can't be recovered, which can perfectly fill this gap."
As Yvette spoke, she got up from the armchair and put the necklace on the stunned Berry's neck. Seeing Berry's timid appearance, she was quite disdainful. She wouldn't let Berry do this if she had another choice.
Yvette stared at her intently. "Berry, don't you want someone to back you up so you can act like Shakira who acted recklessly last night with Mr. Lopez's support?"
Berry was in a daze, feeling every word Yvette said was like an extremely tempting spell. She kept warfing herself not to believe it and not to cooperate with this hypocritical woman, but..

She absolutely wanted it. Since childhood, she had always been overshadowed by Xanthe. She was a child of the prestigious White family, one of the five major families, yet because her father was just a distant relative of their family with no power, she bore a surname I was highly esteemed in Crescentville but lived a life akin to that of the lower class. If there was someone to back her up, she wouldn't have been sent away three years ago.
Berry thought of something, and she slowly raised her hand, grasping the necklace. It seemed that she had made her mind. After a while, she said in a low voice, "Do you know where I have been in the past three years?"
up
"Belaris." Yvette answered without hesitation, "Just tell Mr. López that you went to Belaris and that you suffered an accident upon your return that caused memory loss." "What if the owner of this necklace comes for it? You know who the owner is, don't you?" said Berry.
Yvette didn't answer directly but instead blinked. "Don't worry, once you're recognized by Mr. Lopez with the necklace, you can find an excuse not to take it out, and no one will know." She continued, "Besides, you've lost all memory from your past three years in Belaris, so you don't know how you got the necklace either. You had it from the very beginning.".
Hearing this, Berry shuddered subconsciously. She stared fearfully at Yvette. "You're really terrifying. It seems that Xanthe and I have been used by you all these years!" "What's done cannot be undone, but from now on, we'll be allies. Berry, you'll have to help me more in the future."
Half an hour later, accompanied by Yvette, Berry secretly climbed over the wall from the backyard of the White residence and got into the Rolls-Royce parked outside. the car door closed, Walter had already

you lost all your memories from the past three years?" Walter said abruptly, startling Berry and causing her to shrink in fear. It was clear that she was terrified of him. Her subconscious reaction made Walter frown. He thought, 'How could she be so timid?'
nervously swallowed. "Yes. I had a high fever that wouldn't subside while I was away. That was why I came back." "Don't you remember a single thing?" he asked.
Bet
"Yes..."
said Berry..
"What about the necklace? Who gave it to you?" asked he.
"I don't remember, but I've been wearing it ever since I came back." Fearing that Walter would see through her lie, she lowered her head. Walter's eyes were filled with displeasure. "Open your palm and let me see."
"Okay." Berry, confused, opened her hands and presented them to Walter.
Walter glanced at them and slowly pressed his temples with his hand. Berry's hands were covered in calluses and old scars. Everything seemed just right.
He had thought that the owner of the necklace might have been disguised as a man, but if she was the timid Berry, he would be very disappointed. "You saved me in Belaris a year ago, and I will pay you back. Tomorrow, I'll have 'Brian take you to the Lopez family's private hospital for a check-up to see if there's any way to restore your memory. Take my number and you
