She even took advantage of a night when Forrest was drunk to sleep with him.


    Then she imed to be pregnant with his child...


    What she hadn''t expected was that Forrest had secretly done a paternity test on the child after she was born, confirming that the child was not his.


    However, Yvonne had always held his father''s situation over his head, so Forrest had endured it.


    And that endurance hadsted for over twenty years.


    So Yvonne had always been keenly aware that Forrest hated her.


    During her time in custody, she had never expected Forrest toe and bail her out.


    After all, she had her own way out.


    Forrest watched as she went from panic to a state of calm self-assurance, and he wasn''t surprised.


    He had long been familiar with this woman''s cunning.


    He didn''t say much more, only calmly informing her, "Since you''re so certain, then we''ll just have to wait and see."


    "Also, I''ve had mywyer draft the divorce papers. He will contact you directly."


    Yvonne, who had been rtively calm, instantly changed her expression. "I won''t agree to it! Forrest! Don''t even think about it!"


    "Save it for mywyer."


    "Don''t you care about your future anymore?" Yvonne hissed, her teeth clenched, using his career to threaten him.


    But Forrest just chuckled. "Not anymore. At this age, I''ve realized that all of that is just smoke and mirrors, an empty pursuit. So you can''t hold that over me anymore."


    "No!" Yvonne saw the seriousness in his eyes and cried out emotionally, "We can''t get a divorce! Bianca hasn''t married Seth yet. We can''t get a divorce!"


    "That''s your daughter, what does she have to do with me? Why should I be the one to secure her future?"


    Seeing Yvonne lose herposure brought Forrest a sense of satisfaction. "Besides, Seth won''t marry Bianca."


    "He will!" Yvonne replied with absolute certainty. "He will marry her."


    Because she knew that Seth truly cared about Bianca.


    That''s why she had trusted Seth so much, telling him the secret she had held for so many years.


    Forrest didn''t argue with her; there was no point.


    As he stood up, he felt a sense of lightness he hadn''t experienced in a very long time.


    Before leaving, he told Yvonne one more thing, his face rxed.


    "You probably don''t know this, do you? Noreen''s mother was my first love."


    Yvonne stopped her shouting and frozepletely.


    Forrest walked away with a sense of freedom.


    Just as he stepped out the door, Yvonne''s shrill screams echoed from the visitation room. "Forrest! You get back here What did you mean by that?


    But all she could do was rage at the empty air, because Forrest would never turn back.


    The parting words he had thrown at her were more devastating to Yvonne than a fatal blow.


    As she was forcibly taken back to her cell, her mind was in aplete mess.


    Noreen''s mother was Forrest''s first love.


    And Noreen was a child from a single-parent home.


    Considering her age...


    Yvonne''s mind descended into chaos.


    The once calmke of her heart was now whipped into a storm.


    Forrest was true to his word. The next day, awyer came to see her about the divorce.


    Yvonne, of course, refused.


    Thewyer informed her that if she


    did not agree to the divorce, they could proceed with litigation which would only dy the inevitable.


    In other words, she was just making a desperate final struggle.


    It was meaningless.


    "Go back and tell Forrest I won''t let hing dat his way! He can forget about Forget it!


    rekindling his old me! about
