Chapter 144 The Hidden Motives


    “I didn’t let anything sl*p!” The middle–aged woman stood on the hillside and nced around warily.


    “You made it clear not to spill anything when you left.”


    Yvette narrowed her eyes. “But what if they offer you money to spill everything?”


    “We’ll pocket the cash,” Fanny retorted with a sardonic grin. “But we’ve been feeding them false leads.


    Plus, there are others who paid to keep her whereabouts hidden.”

    Yvette felt a wave of relief wash over her. “Mom, you did the right thing.”


    As it turned out, the middle–aged woman was none other than Fanny Yaleman, who had initially taken


    the wrong child.


    Fanny teared up when Yvette finally called her “Mom” after so long. “Yvette, we did everything you


    asked,” she said. “And thankfully, you warned us that admitting what happened couldnd us in jail for


    human trafficking. We owe you for that.”


    “Got it.” Yvette got the information she needed and swiftly changed the subject. “Mom, we need to stay


    alert. Once this whole situation blows over, I’lle fetch you and Dad to live in the city.”


    Fanny’s eyes lit up. “Really? Then your brother has toe too! You promised to buy him a house!”


    “Absolutely,” Yvette reassured with a grin. “Just rx and enjoy yourselves.”


    Yvette certainly wouldn’t be buying him a house. She also couldn’t help but disdainfully regard them as


    a bunch of freeloaders.


    Despite her dissatisfaction with them leeching on her, Yvetteforted her mother. ” Remember, don’t


    reveal anything about me. If ites down to it, just im her as your own daughter.”


    “Don’t worry, I’ll do as you asked,” Fanny assured, then lowering her voice she asked, “But Yvette,


    whose child is she? How did she cause such amotion?”


    Yvette’s eyes turned frigid. “It doesn’t matter whose child she is. If they find out, I can’t protect you and


    Dad.”


    “We’ll make sure they never find out,” Fanny dered confidently. “After all, this vige is packed with


    our people.!!


    Yvette nodded knowingly. With a smile, she said, “With the vige head supporting us, everything


    should be fine. Mom, if there’s an emergency, remember to reach out to me first.


    “Of course, darling!” Fanny’s focus then turned to her son. “And what about house?”


    Yvette’s gaze sharpened. “Once you’re here, I’ll take you to choose one.”


    your brother’s


    Of course, that was just to cate Fanny, and Yvette certainly wouldn’t be buying that house for her


    brother. After hanging up the phone and powering off her device, she finally felt at


    ease.


    With everything settled, whatevermotion Wynter stirred wouldn’t make a difference.


    And the status of the youngdy of the Yates family belonged to her alone.


    At the Empathy Clinic in Waterview Alley, Margaret, wielding a cane, promptly ushered Wanda out


    before she could even step into the yard.


    The neighbors watched without intervening, as they too shared a dislike for Wanda.


    “Get out!” Margaret, unlike before, had no desire to engage with these scoundrels.


    The typically pampered Wanda eximed, “My Chanel coat! Mom, could you please stop acting


    irrationally? Have you ever seen another mother–inw treat her daughter–inw in such a manner?”


    “You’re up to no good!” Margaret’s eyes darkened. “What do you want from me this time?”


    Ewan tried to keep his cool despite his frustration. He intervened, “Mom, we simply want to have a


    conversation with Wynter. It’s not suitable to discuss this out here where everyone can see. Let’s go


    inside.”


    “Oh?” Wynter, d in ck pants and a white T–shirt, walked over. A baseball cap crowned her head,


    entuating her captivating dark eyes. “What do you want to talk to me about?” she asked.
