Chapter 31 Yvette was never the patient type . [ ] She felt that lasting this long was already her limit . ] Adrian's handsome face turned cold as he warned , " Yvette , don't push it . " She gave a sharp , mocking laugh , then stood up and flung the rest of her coffee straight into his face . That hateful face was instantly drenched . ] Adrian's expression chilled even further , his eyes locked on her like ice . ] " I told you , everyone in my household registry is dead . I'm an orphan , understand ? Stop trying to claim we're family . [] And remember this - only you people owe me , not the other way around . If you wrong me , you'd better have the guts to own it . You should be on your knees , begging me for forgiveness . Not standing here like lunatics , showing just how vile you really are . " n's fists Adrian's tightened , the veins in his hands taut with restraint . " You'd better keep your whole family in line . If you cross me again , I might just tell the entire world every disgusting thing you've done . " ] " You have no proof . " Adrian's voice was cold , his patience worn thin . " Even if you spoke up , no one would believe you . Yvette . if we could bury that incident , you should know - we can bury you too . " ] Yvette's lips pulled into à cold smile . Then you really do deserve to die . " With that , she rose and walked away . Adrian's already dark expression sank into an even deeper frost . He hadn't planned to make things this hostile today . He didn't care for this sister , but there was still blood between them . He and his brothers acknowledged her , even if they weren't close . ] But compared to Stella , Yvette was nothing . left . And that incident two years ago still left a trace of guilt in their hearts . This time , Adrian had wanted to talk . ] Bring her back to the Summers family , keep her from sinking further , and stop her from doing anything to harm Stella . || But she wouldn't listen to a single word . Her insults left him without a rebuttal , I , so all he he could o d do was h harden his tone . Still , he believed that with the right tactics , she'd come back in line . She was just an ex - convict with nothing to her name . All he needed was to find out who the man behind her was . [ ] Yvette felt cursed every time she crossed paths with the Summers family . [ ] Clearly , she should've checked the almanac before going out today : [ ] Adrian was resourceful - he'd managed to find her . ] Not surprising , given the Summers family's many properties in Riverton and the network of eyes that came with them . ] That's how he'd walked straight into this café | " What bad luck , " Yvette muttered . " I'll have to walk over a fire basin when I get home . " [ ] She was frowning and about to leave when she spotted three familiar figures . It was her former foster parents and their son . They looked like they'd just come from a shopping mall , carrying a box of brand - name sneakers worth several thousand yuan . [ ] The couple fussed over their son as they hailed a cab and drove off . " Where did they get the money ?" [ ] Mr. Carver was a gambling drunk . Mrs. Carver was lazy and greedy , spending her days playing cards or borrowing money . Their son was a troublemaker , spoiled to the point of constant misbehavior . ] The last time they'd come to her , it was to ask for money . And now they suddenly had the cash for pricey sneakers ? ] Could it be … ] She took out her phone and called Ethan " Keep an eye on the Carver family . Find out what they've been doing lately . " [ ] After hanging up , Yvette stared in the direction they'd gone , already guessing the source of their newfound wealth . If she was right … it was poetic justice ] After running into Mrs. Carver - Fanny - recently , she'd deliberately had someone leak Stella's school location and the places . she aften visited . [ ] Having once lived in the Summers household . Yvette knew Stella's routines and favorite haunts like the back of her hand . [ ] Ampteli From here on out , she didn't need to do anything . The Carvers ' greed would take care of the rest . [ ] If not Stella , then Adrian and the rest of them . [ After all , their biological daughter was rolling in money , while their son couldn't even afford school and was drowning in debt . [ ] With the hint Yvette had dropped , Fanny would naturally turn her sights on her real daughter . [ ] When Yvette had been in the Summers family , they'd always gone after her - they knew how to handle her . [ ] turally shift to Stella . [ ] Now that she was gone and broke , their focus would naturally shift to Stella , afraid of their loose tongues and unwilling to see them , would pay to make them disappear . But Yvette knew exactly what kind of parasites the Carvers were . ] ] Once they latched on , they never let go . " What happened to me should happen to Stella too . Only then will it be fair . " She opened her car door , got in , and headed for the villa . She hadn't driven far when a black sedan overtook her . She frowned . At first , she didn't think n much of it - until the sedan slammed on its brakes right in front of her . She nearly crashed into it . The car stayed put , blocking the lane . [ ] Traffic was light , but it was still a problem . ] She honked twice . When nothing happened , she got out . ] ] At the same time , someone from the sedan hurried out - rushing to the back seat . They helped an elderly man out . ] He was convulsing , his face blackened , hands trembling violently , eyes wide and glassy . In Yvette's eyes , a creeping black aura was devouring his features . [ ] " Sir ! Sir ! " The driver's voice was tight with panic . [ ] " Can you hold on , sir ? " A young woman's voice cut in [ ] " Why not just take him to the hospital ? : [ ] The driver answered quickly . " We were headed there , but the attack came on so suddenly this time . I was afraid the bumps would make it worse , su …. Qupuri He didn't even glance at Yvette , his full attention on the old man . ] " Step aside . " ] The driver finally looked up at her . " What are you going to do ? " ] " I'm a doctor . Let me see him . " Yvette said , frowning as she studied the old man's trembling form . The man hesitated - she was young , and she didn't look like a doctor . Besides , the old man's identity was sensitive … ] " Or would you rather keep blocking traffic ? " Yvette said coolly . ] The driver glanced at the cars behind them , then stepped aside . [ ] Then I'll leave it to you, Doctor . " He didn't hold out much hope , but at a time like this , he had no choice . [ ]
