Chapter 435

Bonnie glanced over at Yvette, feeling sorry for Ben. She thought, 'Why did he mention the Chambers family? If Mr. Chambers truly knew this guy, well, he might piss Yve off!

Yvette raised an eyebrow, tilting her head slightly as her intense gaze settled on Ben and Janice. Suddenly, a sly smile crept onto her face. "You're saying you know Zachary Chambers, right And that he has your back, huh?"

Ben was caught off guard when Yvette mentioned Zachary, momentarily stunned. However, he quickly regained his composure and nodded, trying to look confident.

He said, "Well, it seems you've got a little bit of sense, knowing Seacrity's top family and Mr. Chambers. Yeah, that's exactly who I talking about. He and I are close.

"If I call him, he'll definitely send someone to teach you a lesson. So, I'd suggest you apologize and hang out with me for a few days, and maybe I'll consider letting you go."

Ben's eyes roamed over Yvette, clearly more focused on her looks than on his threat. Sure, Janice was attractive, but compared to Yvette, she was just nobody. If he got to choose one between them, he would definitely pick Yvette.

Janice had no idea what was going through Ben's mind. She thought he was genuinely standing up for her Although she didn't know much about this "Mr. Chambers", she could gather from Ben's tone that he must be a powerful and wealthy figure. Feeling smug, Janice turned to Yvette and sneered, "My man and Mr. Chambers are as close as family. Offending us means offending him. If you don't listen to us, we'll kick you out of Seacrity."

Bonnie watched the two of them put on their little show and try to threaten Yvette, feeling disgusted.

She thought, 'Do they have any clue about the relationship between the almighty Zachary they were talking about and Yve? And yet, here they were, boasting like fools. What a joke.' Watching Janice's arrogant look, Bonnie knew there was no going back to their sisterhood.

Yvette, unfazed by their threat, sat down on the couch with a calm aura in her sharp gaze. Crossing one leg over the other, she casually played with her phone, exuding fearless confidence. She looked every bit the boss, with an air of defiance. Yvette looked at the two in front of her, her eyes gleaming with a hint of malice, and she gave a casual smile. "Since you know Zachary, I'll give you a chance. Call him over. The head of Seacrity's first family must be impressive, right?' Ben froze. He thought, 'Is she out of her mind?'

He did want to call Zachary over, but he had only sat at the same table with him a couple of times. Their relationship was nothing more than ordinary.

He had never expected anyone to believe that the Chambers family would actually come to his aid. He had said it just to intimidate Yvette, but now, he wasn't sure how to respond.

After a long pause, Ben stammered, but no words came out. Even Janice noticed something was off.

She immediately pulled Ben aside, whispering urgently, "What's wrong, babe? Yvette is challenging you. Hurry up and call Mr. Chambers to back us up, or we'll just be the laughingstock. Please, call him now!"

Ben couldn't tell her the truth without embarrassing himself, and the truth was, he had no way of actually bringing Zachary here. As he was caught in this awkward situation, suddenly, Yvette's phone rang.

Ben couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief as the phone rang, and their eyes instantly focused on Yvette's phone. She

sead "Zachary" and answered the call without showing any signs of surprise

"Where are you, Yvette Are you coming home to have dinner with me?" Zachary's voice came through the phone, warm and familiar.

Yvette raised her eyes, glancing at Ben opposite her. With a faint lift of her eyebrows, she calmly replied, "I'm at Starlight

Plaza."

Before she could even finish, Zachary's excited voice came through. "Starlight Plaza? What a coincidence! I'm here inspecting the stores too. Which floor are you on? I'll come up in a few minutes." Starlight Plaza was part of the Chambers Group's holdings, and Zachary had unexpectedly come by to check on the business, never expecting to run into Yvette here.

Yvette raised an eyebrow, her expression indifferent. "Fifth floor

Zachary immediately replied, "I'll be there in about 15 minutes."

After a brief pause, Yvette ended the call. Bonnie, who had overheard the conversation, wasn't sure at first and asked cautiously, "Was that Mr. Chambers, Yve?" Yvette nodded slightly and pursed her lips. "Yes."

Hearing that, Ben and Janice, who had been eavesdropping, immediately tensed. Janice's expression quickly shifted from smug to incredulous as she let out a sharp laugh, her tone dripping with sarcasm.

She said, "Wait, Bonnie, you're not talking about Zachary, the head of the Chambers family, are you? That's impossible! Don't think you and Yvette can just muddle through and get away with this. Yvette broke my babe's teeth, and we won't let her go."

Bonnie was taken aback for a moment but then nodded seriously, saying, "Yes, the person who called is the head of the Chambers family, Mr. Zachary Chambers. He's..."

Before she could finish, Ben's loud laugh cut her off. "You two little girls have no idea who Zachary is, do you? He's a prominent figure in Seacrity, someone you could never just casually call or meet.

"Don't think you can fool me with a phone call. If you refuse to apologize, neither of you are leaving. Get down on your knees and apologize now!"

Janice chimed in, agreeing with Ben, "Exactly, Yvette's surname is Zeller and Zachary's surname is Chambers. Come on, at least educate yourself before you lie. This is just ridiculous!"

Yvette slowly stood up from the couch, her eyes scanning her watch. Zachary would be here in about ten minutes-just enough time. She turned her head toward Bonnie and whispered, "Close the door."

Bonnie glanced at Janice and Ben, knowing all too well that crossing Yvette came with consequences. No one was exempt, not even her sister.

Bonnie quickly walked over to the counter, pulled out a smart key from the drawer, and used it to remotely lock the door, cutting off the view from the outside. Now, only the four of them were left inside the store.

Janice and Ben froze when they saw the door close, confused. They thought, 'Why is she shutting the door?'

Janice, feeling suddenly panicked, shouted, "What are you doing, Yvette? Open the door now!"

Ben, clutching his mouth where Yvette had kicked him earlier, was clearly shaken. His legs were still throbbing from the blow, and he couldn't stop trembling.

Yvette raised an eyebrow, her expression sly and dangerous. Her gaze was sharp, and her voice was cold as she slowly said, "Why did we shut the door? To lock you in, of course. It's time for you to face the consequences."

Janice and Ben stiffened, thinking, 'Lock us in? Oh no, this is going to be serious.

Janice quickly took a step back and hid behind Ben, her face filled with fear. "You... Don't come any closer!"

Ben, however, wasn't about to let Janice hide behind him. He roughly pulled her out from behind.
