Chapter 1126

“It’s a Novaderma number,” Cody announced, confirming the location instantly.

Finding the identity would take a little longer, but for someone with Cody’s skills, it would only be about ten minutes.

While they waited, Yvonne turned a mocking gaze to Tristan. “She travels to Novaderma constantly for the past two years, and the person calling her just happens to have a Novaderma number. Dad, would you care to guess the relationship between her and the owner of that phone?”

Tristan and Mona exchanged a tense look. Mona shook her head frantically, tears spilling down her cheeks. Tristan had been screaming at her for days about her itinerary, and her nerves were entirely shredded.

“A lover? A secret child?” Yvonne mused, her voice laced with lethal indifference.

Yale had just walked through the front door and caught the tail end of Yvonne’s taunt. He exploded instantly. “That is enough, Yvonne! Why do you keep dragging this out?”

The constant screaming matches over the past few days had given Yale mild trauma. He was sick of the chaos, and here this bitch was, deliberately stirring the pot again. She just didn’t want anyone to have a moment of peace.

Yvonne let out a sharp laugh. “I’m dragging it out because we still don’t have the truth.”

Yale’s face turned red with fury. “You’re pushing this way too far.”

“If Schultz family money has been secretly funding some illegitimate brat that has nothing to do with my father-in-law, then you’re the ones pushing things too far,” Yvonne countered flawlessly.

Mona felt as if all the oxygen had been sucked from the room. She stared at Yvonne in utter terror, searching the younger woman’s eyes for a hint of a bluff. But Yvonne looked far too confident. She definitely knew something.

Tristan’s face was a mask of thunderous rage. He hated Yvonne’s theatrics, but he couldn’t deny the terrifying logic of her argument.

“What secret child-” Yale started to argue.

“Got it,” Cody interrupted.

Those two simple words shattered what was left of Mona’s sanity. She turned a stiff, horrified gaze toward Yvonne. “What… what do you want from me?” she whispered brokenly. The unsaid plea hung in the air: *What will it take for you to let me go?*

Ever since Yvonne had married into the family, she had backed Mona into a corner at every turn. Mona couldn’t take it anymore.

Yvonne met her dilated, terrified eyes with a cold, ruthless smile. It was a smile filled with a victorious arrogance that painfully reminded Mona of her younger self-back when she had boldly provoked xander’s mother. The karma was swift, brutal, and utterly devastating.

“Go ahead,” Yvonne told Cody, her eyes never leaving Mona’s crumbling face.

“The number is registered to Berry, a twenty-four-year-old female,” Cody read from his screen. “According to the traveHogs, Mona Haig met with her

every single time she visited Novaderma over the past two years.”

Mona’s expression turned ashen, her face entirely frozen in shock.

Yvonne shrugged and finally looked away from the devastated woman. “Dad, I’ll leave the rest of this mess to you.”

Tristan’s expression was indescribable. He slowly turned his head, fixing Mona with a sharp, predatory gaze that promised absolute ruin.

Trembling violently, Mona shook her head. “Tristan, I—”

“Aren’t we supposed to be getting dinner?” Yvonne interrupted seamlessly, turning

to Xander as if she hadn’t just blown a family to pieces.

Xander nodded. “Yeah. It’s time to go.”

“You still have the nerve to eat?” Yale shouted, completely losing his mind. “You tear this family apart, and you’re thinking about food?”

The Schultz household hadn’t had a decent meal in days because of the constant fighting. And now, after

on ther lives, Yvonne and Xander were just going to leave for a dinner date? It was outrageous.

“The only person who should be too ashamed to eat is your mother,” Yvonne

retorted sharply. “What does this have to do with us?”

With Tristan radiating pure, murderous fury right in front of her, Mona shot Yvonne a look of pure, unadulterated hatred.

Xander wrapped his hand around Yvonne’s. “Let’s go.”

“I’m starving,” Yvonne complained brightly as they walked out the door. “Tell Shawn

to order plenty of good food. The baby is hungry too.”
