Chapter 358

I squinted my eyes and laughed. "Aren't you the ones crossing the line? What makes you think Iwon't hold you accountable for killing my child? Do you really think you rule the world?"

"Because I can easily ruin your life.” Petra gritted her teeth.

"Wow." I was full of disdain. "We shall see who will be the last one smiling."

Grayson stared at me with a darkened expression. " Miss Lane, I never thought of you as a smartperson, because you wouldn't risk your entire life for one child if you were."

"Look who's talking," I chuckled mockingly. "As if you wouldn't do the same for Cindy Reed."

His gaze stiffened as soon as he understood my words.

"I do hope Mr. Louis won’t give up on her when the time comes." I took the wine glass on the tableand toasted him before turning away to leave.

Ignoring whether I would or would not be able to achieve the words I was babbling out of my mouth,I could not lose control of my temperament, at the very least. Otherwise, these two would continueto squash me like a soft toy. I definitely did not want to die

before getting to avenge my child.

Grayson and Petra were in a really bad mood and had no intention to stay at the banquet anylonger. They went to greet Nancy with a few words and bid farewell.

I watched them walking out of the villa with cold eyes.

Yvonne walked over to me and asked with a smile," You don't like the two of them as well?"

"Not really," I answered honestly.

Yvonne chuckled. "I like your honesty, speaking as you wish without hiding anything."

I pursed my lips and gave her a faint smile, not saying anything.

"My dear child." Yvonne grabbed my hand and looked at me lovingly. "Call me mother."

My lips trembled as I spoke with my dry throat," Mother."

It had been many years since that term had been uttered from my mouth. Although the subject ofthe term was different now, it still made me feel excited. N o matter how old a person was, thedesire for maternal love was so strong.

"Good girl." Yvonne's eyes reddened slightly. "I finally have a daughter."

I sniffed slightly and said with a smile, "I will treat you as my biological mother to honor you." "Howamazing." Yvonne patted my hand slightly, "You shall be my own daughter, way more special to methan your two brothers.”

As we were talking, Carlson walked over and asked for my address, saying he would pick me up fora meal at their house sometime in the next few days.

Matthew was sending the guests off and happened to overhear the conversation. He then askedwith a smile, "Uncle Schumann, can I follow too?”

"Of course." Carlson agreed to it.

Yvonne took a glance at me, then at Matthew, and nodded satisfyingly. "Not bad.”

I assumed that she had misunderstood something, and I wanted to explain. However, I was unsureabout how I should bring it up, so I threw away the thought.

Yvonne and Carlson did not intend to stay after the banquet. After I sent them off, Nancy walked outof the villa.

She came to me and said briefly, "You are really a blessed girl."

I did not manage to understand the true meaning behind her words, so I played it smart and keptquiet.

"Matthew is a grown-up and has his own ideas. I can't guide him forever. You are a smart girl, and Ihope you know what are the things you should and shouldn’t d o. Don’t look for trouble for yourselfand Matthew, or I won’t let it pass me by," Nancy said briefly.

She was trying to warn me in her own way. I laughed lightly and comforted her. "Don't worry, I’m asmart girl."
