Fiona sighed. She solemnly looked at Yvette. “Whitney’s return must have caused you a lot of damage.
I want to apologize to you for this. When she left back then, she was the one who came to me and
asked me for a sum of money, saying that she was going abroad for further studies. I didn’t give it to
her, but she offered to break up with Lance in exchange for the money. I thought that she wouldn’t
come back again. I didn’t think that she would be so jealous of your happiness, so much so that she
deliberately came back to stir up trouble. Clearly, she succeeded, didn’t she?” Yvette was slightly
stunned. She pursed her lips and unconsciously clenched her fist.
She did not know what to say.
It turned out that Fiona had long noticed that something was not right between them.
Lance calmed down after a while. His voice was deep and raspy with such strong resentment. He
gritted his teeth and said, “You should’ve told me earlier.”
Fiona looked at her son. Her eyes gradually reddened.
“Back then, if Harrison Corporation hadn’t offended Nicole, you wouldn’t have had the chance to
overturn the situation. Who would’ve expected such a coincidence? I acknowledge that you’re very
capable, but at that time, you were so overwhelmed. I was scared to death when I heard that you went
to the rooftop every day.”
Lance’s face was taut, G>
M8UX his body was stiff.
Yvette turned her head to the side to look at Lance. After listening to all of this, Yvette suddenly felt so
heartbroken for Lance.
Nowadays, Lance can have anything he wants, but what about back then?
He was not knocked down when he was put in such a difficult situation. Yvette always knew that
Lance’s willpower was extraordinarily strong.
However, she did not expect that there was a time when he would stand on the rooftop.
Disappointments, responsibilities, and burdens must have overwhelmed him back then.
Lance must have wanted to jump from there countless times, right?
The air in the room was stagnant.
Fiona was silent for a while before she spoke. “I’m telling you this not because I want you to take
revenge. I’m just trying to say that this woman isn’t as innocent as you think. Perhaps from an
outsider’s perspective, I’m a mother who discriminates against people based on social status and
sends them off with money. But I just want you to live a normal and happy life. I especially don’t want
such an unworthy woman to affect your relationship.”
Lance did not speak for a long time.
Yvette sat there and did not make a sound either. At that thought, Whitney was indeed unworthy to be a
threat to their relationship.
Yvette could not pinpoint exactly why she became inexplicably distant from Lance.
Lance was an excellent and flawless man. It was a blessing for her to marry him.
However, Yvette truly felt regretful the other day. She regretted marrying him so hastily.
After they left Fiona’s house, Lance did not look so glum anymore.
But he still did not speak.
Perhaps it was also very difficult for him to digest this news.
Yvette looked out the car window. After this episode, she finally made a decision and did not waver at
all.
The next day in Sheldon Corporation’s conference room.
