Chapter 437

Yvette ignored Ben's frantic pleas. With a slight tilt of her head, she turned to Bonnie and calmly said, "Open the door." Bonnie nodded, taking the key out of her pocket. With a swift motion, she unlocked the door, and it creaked open. As soon as Ben saw the door open, he scrambled to escape, his fear making him move with panic. He didn't want to stay any longer in this terrifying place because he felt that Yvette was more dangerous than anyone he had ever encountered. However, as Ben reached the doorway, he bumped into Zachary Lucas, and a group of bodyguards. The bodyguards instantly went on alert when they saw someone rushing toward Zachary, and one of them delivered a punch, knocking Ben to the ground. Ben scrambled to his feet, and upon seeing Zachary, he thought he had found a savior. "Help, Mr. Chambers. There are two murderers in there! You need to call the police!" he cried out.

Unexpectedly, Zachary ignored Ben, his gaze sliding past him and landing on Yvette. His eyes flickered with a glint of recognition.

Ben, too consumed by fear, failed to notice the excitement in Zachary's eyes. He kept shouting for help.

Without a word, Zachary stepped around Ben and walked toward Yvette, entirely ignoring both Ben's frantic cries and the severely injured Janice on the floor.

Lucas looked at Janice lying on the ground, frowning. He thought, 'It seemed that Ms. Zeller did it. What did she do to provoke her to such an extent? It must have been something serious. Otherwise, Ms. Zeller wouldn't have been so ruthless. Zachary walked over to Yvette and Bonnie, a smile tugging at his lips. "What brings you to Starlight Plaza, Yvette? Is there something you're into? Everything here belongs to us, so if you like anything, we can have it delivered to you."

Lucas barely held back a sigh. It seemed that Zachary was so excited to see Yvette that he couldn't even notice the woman lying on the ground.

Stepping forward, Lucas lowered his voice and asked, "How should we handle the woman on the floor and the man who seems out of his mind, Ms. Zeller?"

It was only then that Zachary seemed to notice Janice, but he didn't show much surprise. After all, Yvette's actions were always so normal to him. There was nothing worth making a fuss over.

Yvette, with her hands in her pockets, answered casually, "The one on the floor should be sent to the police station. Zane will know what to do. As for this man, do whatever you want with him." Her words sealed the fate of both. Lucas nodded respectfully. "Understood, Ms. Zeller. I'll handle it immediately."

Ben froze in shock when he heard Lucas address Yvette as "Ms. Zeller". His eyes widened, his lips trembling, unable to form any words.

He thought, 'It seems that Zachary's butler has great respect for this woman. Wait, she must be the long-lost daughter of the Chambers family.'

Some rumors among the elite of Seacrity flashed through Ben's mind. It was said that in memory of his first wife, Zachary had his returned daughter take her mother's surname. Ben hadn't believed the stories, but now, it seemed that they were true.

Looking at the smiling Zachary and the expressionless Yvette, Ben lowered his head.

The Chambers family's bodyguards stepped forward, swiftly taking both Janice and Ben away, and sending them off to wherever they belonged.

Yvette turned to Bonite and said softly, "Go change. Andrew is waiting outside."

Bonnie, watching Janice being carried away, snapped out of her thoughts upon hearing Yvette's words. She nodded quickly. "Okay, I'll be right back, Yve. You can chat with Mr. Chambers for a while." She gave a polite bow to Zachary, acting sweet. Zachary had seen Bonnie before, but this time, noticing the way Yvette interacted with her, he couldn't help but feel a twinge of jealousy.

Honestly, the personalities of Bonnie and Yvette seemed completely different, so their friendship was certainly surprising to Zachary. However, no one could be sure where human connections came from.

Zachary couldn't help but sigh. "This girl doesn't seem like someone who could be your friend."

Yvette casually squeezed her fingers, raising an eyebrow with a calm expression, her gaze gentle but her tone still cool. "She's stronger and more decisive than you might think."

After all, someone raised to be the special woman of a centuries-old village wouldn't have an ordinary temperament.

Yvette hadn't overly involved herself in Janice's matter because she wanted Bonnie to see the people around her clearly. How she chose to handle it was entirely up to her.

Lucas, now a devoted fan of Yvette, was confident in her judgment. He thought that if she said someone was good, he was undoubtedly good.

Lucas was reminded of Zoe. He thought, 'Ms. Zeller is so good at reading people. Who would have expected that someone with Zoe's physical limitations would be talented in design and finance? In a short time, Zoe had brought immense profit to the Chambers Group. 'If Ms. Zeller hadn't seen her potential, Zoe would have been overlooked. That would have been a huge loss for the Chambers Group. If things kept progressing this way, Zoe would undoubtedly become one of the best employees there. Zachary knew that Yvette was planning

to go out for a meal, and he insisted on tagging along with them.

Yvette couldn't resist his request. With a sigh, she reluctantly agreed.

Fortunately, the meal turned out to be quite enjoyable. With Andrew, who was good at cheering people up, even someone as serious as Zachary was amused.

The two of them hit it off so well that Zachary even decided to adopt Andrew as his godson, a proposal Andrew eagerly accepted.

He thought, 'Who wouldn't want a rich father? Come on, he's the head of the most prominent family in Seacrity. Not to mention, he is also the future father-in-law of Jeremiah as well as Yvette's real father.'

Lucas observed Zachary and Andrew drink, thinking, 'How could someone with such close ties to Jeremiah be poor? But what if Andrew's father didn't approve of this godfather arrangement? That could cause some trouble.'

The next day, however, when Tim heard about the situation, he only said one thing. "Andrew must've stepped in some serious luck with this one."

This really was pure luck. Given his wealth, Zachary would be considered a royal member in ancient times. Whoever got to be his godson was lucky.

Of course, Zachary was unaware of just how distinguished he had become, and it was likely that his future standing would only grow more prestigious.

The next day, Zane called Yvette. "Ms. Zeller, the file on Janice was urgently transferred from Normis last night. I've had a look, and besides the hunter case you mentioned, she's also linked to an incident in her village where someone was tortured to death. 17:34 Wed, Dec 4 GG.

"According to the testimony of a villager arrested from Dungo Village, he saw her and Sheldon beating a girl, and later, the girl drowned.

"This case still needs more time to verify, but rest assured, Ms. Zeller, I will personally handle it. If Janice is truly responsible for the girl's death, she will face the full force of the law."

Zane had rushed to the police station as soon as he received Yvette's call yesterday. As soon as she returned to Seacrity, he had plenty of work to do, but honestly, he didn't mind it at all.

After all, ever since he became a police officer, his goal had been to serve the country. He wasn't here to just sit idly by.
