Yvette hadn't even seen the slap coming until she felt it on her. Once again, she found herself on the floor, seeing stars from the
sheer force of the slap.
As soon as she got back to her senses, Yvette realized there was blood trickling from her mouth
To her horror, on top of the pain on her face, she could also feel a tooth coming loose.
Yvette grimaced as she clutched her face, staring in utter disbelief at the person who had just slapped her.
“Dad?”
Am / seeing things?
Dad lovesthe most, so why would he be so heavy-handed on me?
Alas, there was no denying that Russell had indeed slapped his daughter.
Mason quickly made his way toward Yvette and tried to help her up.

However, before he could even reach his
hand out, Yvette had unceremoniously kicked him away.
“Go away! Don’t touch me!”
There was so much contempt in Yvette's gaze that it seemed as if she couldn't wait to get rid of Mason.
Even with enemies, there was no need to harbor that much hatred.
“Yvette?” Mason whispered, sadness flitting across his face.
However, Yvette had no interest in returning Mason's gaze as she continued to stare blankly at her father.
Russell looked away in a mixture of shand anger before turning to his housekeepers. “Take her back to her room and lock her
up. No one is to let her out without my orders!”
“No...” Yvette whimpered, shaking her head frantically. “I'm sorry, Dad! | was wrong. | know | was wrong!”
Before she could say anymore, two of Russell's bodyguards had already stepped
forward and dragged her back upstairs. No matter how hard she struggled, she couldn’t get out of their grasp.
Yvette's screams gradually faded into the distance, and silence once again filled the hall.
Not wanting to stay on any longer, sof the guests went up to comfort Russell before bidding goodbye.
Try as he might, Russell couldn't force any smiles out as he thanked his guests and had his housekeepers send them out.
Once the first guest had left, the others soon followed suit.
Before long, there were only a handful of people left in the hall.
With the matter resolved, there was no reason for Arielle to stay on any longer as she made her way toward Russell. “I'll be going
now. Well, | hope you won't be too sad. Yvette is still young, and mistakes are inevitable. With the right guidance, I'm sure it'll work
out. As for my family, rest assured that I'll intercede for Yvette.”
Russell looked on with weary sadness on his face and bloodshot eyes.
“I'm sorry,” he said apologetically. “When Yvette lost her mother, | chose not to remarry because | was afraid she might not like
having a stepmother. | spoiled her out of love, and look what good that did her. I'll visit your family tomorrow to offer my apologies.
But for tonight, please apologize to Rick and Shandie on my behalf.”
With that, Russell beckoned for his housekeeper to pass a gift to Arielle.

Arielle instinctively rejected it. “Oh, no. There's no need for this...”
Ultimately, Arielle had a part to play in everything that happened that night.
Even though she had no regrets, she still didn’t feel right to accept Russell's gift.
However, Russell remained insistent on her keeping the gift. “You saved my life. I'd feel bad if you don’t accept it.”
Left without a choice, Arielle accepted the gift with a polite smile.
On her way back in Vinson’s car, Arielle opened the gift box out of curiosity.
To her surprise, it was a gorgeous diamond bracelet.
Vinson took one glance at it and immediately recognized it. “That bracelet has been in the royal family. | heard that Russell had
gotten it at an auction for two hundred million. I'm impressed he could part with it that easily.”
Looking at the bracelet, Arielle let out a deep sigh. “Vinson, do you think I've gone overboard?”
