Chapter 6
Noticing that Zachary was still sisiggling with the situation, Nelle decided to lay it on him straight. “Zachary, it’s not that I dislike Yvette. But Mr. Grillin is coming from Cloudity, and what if he sees something he doesn’t like and changes his mind? Winona has worked so hard to get on his radar. I didn’t want anything to mess that up because of Yvene”
Zachary paused to think and realized Nellie had a point. He held her hand and asked gently. “So, do you have any ideas? Tume is running out. If Yvette starts learning etiquette now, it may be too late.
Nellie had been waiting for him to ask that. After pretending to ponder for a moment, she suggested. Zachary, if you don’t mind letting Wette experience a little tough love, I might have an idea. But I can’t promise it will work.
Zachary replied urgently, “What’s it? Just tell me.”
“I have a cousin who’s an etiquette teacher over at Argrol University. She specializes in training girls from wealthy families like Winona. I’ve heard she has a great reputation, and the ladies she’s transformed have made real changes. If Yvette is willing. Id be happy to take her to meet my cousin. 1 believe shell give me some face.
Zachary was mainly worried about Yvette embarrassing him, and he was pleased with Nellie’s suggestion. Even though there wasn’t a deep bond between them-more of a partnership-she had helped him a lot over the years.
With Zachary’s agreement, Nellie thought to herself triumphantly, ‘So what if you’re Lilian’s daughter? You’ll still be at my
Thercy. Yvette.
Unknown to Zachary, Nellie’s cousin had a notorious reputation for harsh discipline. As she was from the Smith family, the lads from less prominent wealthy families didn’t dare to resist her methods.Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.
In the evening. Zeke and Winona finally showed up. They had spent the day playing golf with Victor and certainly, taken the chance to talk trash about Yvette.
Just then, Yvette came downstairs gracefully and bumped into the two.
All three looked quite different from Zachary-Yvette took after Lilian with her strikingly cool beauty, while Zeke and Winona shared some of Nellie’s facial features.
Zeke was Nellie’s pride and joy. Back then, Matthew allowed her to marry into the once-prestigious Chambers family mainly because she was pregnant with Zachary’s child. From Zeke’s birth, Nellie had doted on him endlessly, but he didn’t turn out spoiled. Instead, he excelled, often ranking at the top of his class.
Zeke and Winona already knew about Yvette. They had considered ways to keep Yvette away from the Chambers family, but the people they sent over all vanished strangely. They hadn’t seriously suspected Yvette, but they figured she didn’t have the power to pull anything off
Growing up in high society, they knew that even if they wanted to target Yvette, they had to keep it under wraps, especially since their father felt so guilty toward her.
Having one more person in line for the inheritance was just one more threat. Zeke and Winona exchanged knowing glances. silently allying to handle Yvette behind the scenes,
Zeke acted surprised and quickly apologized to Yvette for being late. He happily welcomed her to the Chambers family. Winona played along, and together, they created quite a lively scene.
“You must be Yvette, right? I’m Zeke. If you need anything, just come to me. I’ll take care of you,” said Zeke warmly.
Winona watched Yvette’s stunning features, and a wave of jealousy crashed over her. She considered herself one of the top beauties in their social circle, with no one daring to challenge her looks except for Rebecca, the eldest daughter of the Carter family. But Yvette was something else entirely… Winona had seen her photos, but they didn’t do justice to how stunning she was in person.
Her biggest fear was that if Yyette caught Victor’s eye, their engagement-which had originally belonged to Yvette-would be at risk. Panic began to swirl inside Winona,
Out of the corner of her eye, Winona spotted two figures. Since Yvette’s back was turned to the stairs, she didn’t see them coming. Seizing the opportunity, Winona stepped closer and whispered just loud enough for Yvette to hear, “Your mother is dead. Why even come back? This house has no place for you.”
Winona had played this card over for years-provoking others and then showing her kindness and grace. It had worked like a charm every time, and she was sure Yvette would be no exception. Get angry, Yvette! Better make a scene so Dad can see just how trashy you are, she thought to herself.
Winona thought she had it all figured out, but she was about to meet her match. Yvette was a woman who could face the underworld without batting an eye-this little trick wouldn’t faze her at all.
