The Apple of My Eye
Chapter 177 Driven Away

"Miss... Miss Bai..." Yvonne remembered what had happened before she had blacked out, and she knew what she was going to face now. It was just a stroke of bad luck that she ran into Aron at the party. However, she was mortified at the thought of having to face so many people. Particularly, because she was almost naked.

She grabbed the quilt quickly and covered her body with it, as her eyes turned red.

Wretched as she was, she was still a woman.

Rachel didn't want to waste any more time, so she interrupted Yvonne impatiently, "Come on! Stop crying!" She winked at Yvonne cheekily and asked, "Tell me, did Mrs. Lu bring you here?" However, Yvonne didn't respond to Rachel's question because she couldn't stop herself from crying.

"Please tell us, " Rachel urged. When she didn't receive any responses from Yvonne, Rachel lost her patience and grabbed her by the shoulders. She raised her voice to her, "I said stop crying! Tell us what happened, so we can help you."

Rachel softened her voice and comforted Yvonne, "Just tell us, did Mrs. Lu bring you here? Does Mrs. Lu have an illicit relationship with Mr. Qin?"

'No matter what I say next, my reputation can't be salvaged. If only I hadn't been caught by Charles here, but unfortunately he's already seen me. If I help Rachel frame Autumn, Charles will never forgive me. He will keep digging further and further into the matter, no matter what the cost.' Yvonne chose to protect herself, fearing possible retaliation from Charles. At that very moment, she decided to stop acting according to Rachel's plan.

"No, it's not like what you think..." replied Yvonne, still sobbing uninhibitedly. "I... I just had a headache, so I came upstairs to lie down for a bit. Soon I fell asleep and I have no idea of what happened after that.' Rachel asked as her face turned red with fury, "What did you just say?" She didn't expect Yvonne to betray her like that at the very last moment.

Rachel gnashed her teeth and screamed at Yvonne, "Have you lost your mind? Do you know what..." Now she wanted to tear Yvonne into a million pieces.

Yvonne pushed Rachel's hands away slowly and asked, "Miss Bai, what do you want me to tell you? Do you think it was appropriate of you to break into the room with so many people?"

Yvonne looked extremely pitiful with her reddened, tear-filled eyes. The reporters shook their heads and thought, 'Rachel must have always pretended to be an amiable and kind woman. Now, she has finally shown her true colors.'

"Well, you two..." sneered Rachel, pointing at Yvonne and Ken. "You colluded with each other to make a fool out of me, didn't you?"

'They agreed to help me then, but now they're betraying me at this crucial moment. This is so embarrassing, ' Rachel's thoughts filled with hatred and disappointment.

"Miss Bai, I think you need to explain your actions to us." These reporters were not going to be fooled so easily. They had figured out what kind of trick Rachel was playing. Although they were reporters, they couldn't allow Rachel to take advantage of them without any benefits in return. Therefore, they had decided to blackmail Rachel.

Ken screamed out impatiently, "Please go outside to resolve your petty squabbles. I'd like for you all to leave this room right now!"

The reporters left the room angrily. Rachel didn't dare to offend them. It would cost her a large sum of money to appease their anger.

After they left, Ken glanced at Yvonne lying on the bed and said with a cold smile, "I thought you were on Rachel's side. It seems that you're not a fool..."

Yvonne glanced at Ken coldly, and thought to herself, 'All I want is to get married to Charles, and that's all that matters to me. So I just need to do something to please him as he seems to be quite mad at me right now.' She gritted her teeth and said, "Go get my clothes!"

Her hatred towards Aron grew drastically.

Ken sneered, "Clothes? You should ask your brother to bring them to you."

'If my clothes had been here, I would have already left. Do you think that I would stay here and wait for you to wake up?' Ken thought in disdain.

"I know what is going on here. From now on, I am going to stay away from you and I don't want to have anything to do with you ever again." 'As long as I am involved with you two, I will always get into trouble.' "Do you think that I want to see you again?" Yvonne continued coldly, "Call Aron and have him bring my clothes here."

Yvonne had spent the entire night waiting for Aron, but Aron didn't show up. She had to pay a waitress to buy clothes for her. Then, she put on her new clothes, intending to leave. All of sudden, Ken said to her, "Yvonne, are you leaving now? What about me?"

"That's none of my concern," responded Yvonne impatiently. "I don't ever want to see you again. If I do, I won't let you go so easily!"

She then turned around, looked at Ken and threatened, "I am warning you. You'd better keep this matter to yourself. Otherwise, I will make you regret it."

When Yvonne arrived at the Lu family's house, she didn't see Autumn or Charles. Instead, Chris was standing in the hall by herself. She had asked the servants to pack up Yvonne's personal belongings and bring them to the hall.

"You're back now." Chris had freaked out at the sight of an unconscious Autumn in Charles's arms, from last night. Having found out what had happened to Autumn, she got infuriated. Fortunately, Autumn hadn't been raped. Otherwise she wouldn't forgive Yvonne.

When Yvonne tried to walk towards her room, Chris stopped her and said, "Your luggage is already here. Get out of here right now. You're not welcome here anymore."

Yvonne asked with a frown on her face, "What do you mean?" "If I leave here now, I won't have the chance to come back again,' she thought.

Yvonne continued as she stared at Chris, "Miss Lu, please let me know if I did anything wrong to you. You must keep in mind that this is also my sister's house. You have no right to ask me to leave." "You're such a shameless woman. Don't you know what you have done?" Chris looked at Yvonne with discontent and continued, "This is my house. You can't stay here if I don't allow you to stay here. Do I make myself clear?"

"I came here with my sister's consent. Don't forget that she is the real mistress of this house. You will have to leave here one day once you get married. No one, but my sister, can ask me to leave here." Yvonne did everything she could, in order to stay in the house. She had no intention of leaving, before Charles and Autumn were back. She wasn't going to let Chris drive her away.
