The next morning. Sylus Fowler delivered the information he had gathered on Yvette to Daniel.

Looking at the single sheet of paper in his hand, Daniel cast a questioning glance at Sylus, the secretary who had been with him for over ten years. 'Since when did he learn to slack off? Why's there only one sheet? he wondered. Seeing Daniel's skepticism, Sylus felt pained recalling his all-nighter. He had sought various sources but could only gather this much on Yvette.

Her past seemed to have been erased from existence, so he could only gather her recent records. This paper was a result of his exhaustive work.

Daniel skimmed through Yvette's information before throwing onto the hospital bed. Then, he smiled sinisterly, thinking. Well the Chambers family really knows what they're doing, huh?

Is Yvette, who caused Ethan's hospitalization, Zachary's long-lost daughter? She hurt Nellie and forced the Carter family to apologize. Then, she bankrupted the Sullivan family and caused them to disappear from Seacrity. How did she do all this in less than a month since

return heard about the Sullivan family's recent plight.

Daniel had Daniel They

weren't

t considered a

a top-tier family in Seacrity but had some influence, and their business did fairly well. Thus, when Daniel heard someone had caused their bankruptcy, he was surprised. At first. I thought the Sullivan family offended some big shot and caused this disaster. I never expected Yvette to be the mastermind behind this; Daniel wondered solemnly In his anger, he nearly forgot something important.

According to the duty manager Jimmy. Yvette herself took out 100 million dollars to bet with Ethan. It wasn't Ryan who cashed out, so this meant she had more than that amount in hand. Daniel often mingled with Zachary and wondered, "Zachary doesn't seem like someone who'd simply give his newfound daughter several hundred thousand dollars. Besides, the Chambers family isn't as powerful as it used to be, and that's not a small amount either. She must have someone powerful behind her. After all, Zachary wouldn't have been able to hold a position in Seacrity for this long if he were reckless or impulsive. He would've been crushed in politics long ago!

With him not having slept, when Daniel looked up, his stubble that had grown out became obvious. It made him look old and grim.

His voice was

s hoarse like nails on a chalkboard. "Do you know what happened between Yvette and the Sullivan family?"

Sylus had worked with Daniel for years and was familiar with his vengeful nature. Especially since the victim was Ethan, his beloved son, he'd surely see the matter to the end Thus, he thought, I couldn't obtain much information, but I'll make sure to thoroughly investigate this matter involving the Sullivan family. A piece of paper won't suffice for Daniel. Cautiously, Sylus watched Daniel and said, "From what I've found, the Sullivan family's daughter, Sharon, offended Yvette. That led to her taking revenge. However, there's another mysterious man involved. I doubt she alone could've driven them out of Seacrity. He must ve helped her," Daniel felt much more relieved hearing that. He had been wondering how Yvette managed to drive the Sullivan family out of Seacrity single-handedly overnight.

The first time Daniel saw Yvette's photo, he was taken aback. She had a striking yet distant beauty, Just from the picture, he П knew she'd be stunning in person.

Daniel speculated mentally. He and Yvette must have some sort of special relationship. After all, it's normal for a powerful man to have a young beautiful university student as his sugar baby. Then, he questioned, "Do we have any information on him? Sylus shook his head. He hadn't found anything about the mysterious man. There were two possibilities behind this-either his identity was so unfathomable that all information was hidden, or he wasn't rooted in Seacrity and thus impossible to trace. We couldn't replace any info on this guy"

Just then. Ethan's groans sounded from the hospital bed, and Daniel couldn't bother with the document anymore, He quickly called for a nurse.

feel.

Once Ethan woke up and saw Daniel standing by the bed, he started flailing his limbs in anger. Seeing this, Daniel immediately reminded him to calm down. "Son, the doctor said you need to stay calm. Relax, I know how y you

Ethan's eyes were filled with poisonous malice. "Dad, go replace Yvette and lock her up in the police station. I want to torture her myself.

Daniel scolded Ethan mentally, Ethan isn't grasping the severity of this matter. What is he acting so dramatic for? He then said. "What nonsense are you spouting? Can't you see the nurse is still here?"

Ethan

couldn't be bothered with morals now. He was seething with hatred, and all he could think about was tearing Yvette to shreds,

Sylus met Daniel's glance and knew what was on his mind. Sylus then shot the nurse a sympathetic look and thought, 'Oh, poor thing! She's so unlucky to be assigned to care for Ethan. In his fury. Ethan pressured Daniel to call the police to pin any crime on Yvette and get her arrested.

Afraid Ethan might do something rash, Daniel immediately called the police chief, Jonathan Quigley, and told him to arrest Yvette, who studied at Argrol University, on charges of assault. Jonathan answered the call instantly and promptly instructed his team to arrest Yvette.

Over the years, Jonathan managed to maintain his position as police chief largely due to Daniel's support. Naturally, he did some dirty work for him too. They understood each other well

Since Wyatt ascended to his position as mayor, Daniel and Jonathan's contact went under the radar. They couldn't be as blatant as before. Yet, when Daniel had him arrest a university student, Jonathan didn't think to be careful. After all, what trouble could a student cause?

After giving his orders, Jonathan left for a meeting, but by the time he returned, the police station was in chaos. Unfortunately, it was already too late to fix things.

Argrol University, the police first went to the office of the dean, Patrick. They showed him the arrest warrant and retrieved Yvette's records.

Patrick was secretly pleased seeing it. 'What did Yvette do to have the police issue an arrest warrant and come personally to detain her?' he wondered.

After the last incident, Patrick didn't dare do anything to Yvette. However, he grew excited again seeing the arrest warrant.

'No matter what, people can't fight against the authorities. No matter how powerful the man supporting Yvette is, he wouldn't dare go against the state Thinking that, Patrick eagerly led the police to a classroom in the physics department. Which one of you is Yvette? The two police officers scanned the room but didn't see Yvette. Realizing she probably wasn't in class, given Yvette's striking beauty would stand out anywhere one asked. "Does anyone know where Yvette is?"

Chapter 56

The physics students felt uneasy seeing the police at the door. Recalling yesterday's incident in Sky Nimbus, they fell silent. Some pretended to be absorbed in books, while others pretended to be focused on discussions. They all acted like they hadn't heard the police's questions, There was an awkward silence..

It was the first time the police officers had been ignored like this so they felt a bit embarrassed. However, since no one was breaking the law, they couldn't force the students to do anything Thus, Nolan, one of the police officers, practiced patience and asked again, "Where is Yvette?"

Patrick stood awkwardly aside, wondering what the students were doing.

Meanwhile, Bonnie quietly asked the person before her to block her from the police's view. Hearing her request, two guys before her instinctively moved closer together and conveniently blocked their view. Bonnie had just fished out her phone to text Yvette and tell her not to come to the classroom. But before she could send it. she heard a familiar voice. Looking for me?" SEND GIFT
