Chapter 213
213 No Help for Wanda and Family but They Deserved It
Yvette seethed, Wanda had not only landed herself in hot water due to her st*pidity, but she had also
dragged Yvette down with her!
Yvette decided that she wouldn’t allow Wanda’s scandal to affect her life, especially knowing that the
Yates family had met their demise.
After she left the car, she called Ewan and asked coldly, ‘Did Grandma or Wynter create the successful
livestream channel?”
Ewan had never seen this side of his good daughter, which made his heart sink. He had no choice but
to clutch at straws. He replied, “It could have been your grandma. I’m not too sure. It was already a
popular channel when I learned about it.”
Keeping her anger in check, she confronted him, “Why didn’t you tell me earlier?”
“Well, livestreaming is like begging for scraps online. Your mom and I didn’t pay much attention to it at
first.”
Yvette was nearly driven mad. She yelled, “This is the internet era! Don’t you know?”
Ewan sounded cross, as he had never been told off by someone younger. “Yvette, watch your tone!”
His scolding reminded her that she still depended on her family for her allowances. Her tone softened.”
Dad, I was just worried. How could Mom be so slow? She could have done anything except to fight for
Grandma’s livestream channel.”
Yvette’s tone carried a hint of blame, but Ewan shared the same sentiment. Lowering his voice, he
grumbled, “I can’t do anything about your mom’s situation. No attorney will take her case. I’ve tried
bribing
the authorities, but she still has to serve a one–year sentence.”
“A year..” Yvette wouldn’t mind if Wanda was locked away for ten years, as she didn’t want to
financially support a disgraceful mom. The last thing she wanted was to be associated with her mother
who had
served jail time.
Ewan sighed. “Enough talk about your mom. How are you doing in Kingbourne? I heard you saved the
life of an important figure. Is he Fabian Quinnell?”
Yvette was familiar with Ewan’s way of poking around for information by now. Just like Fanny and
Dickson, all Ewan wanted was to take advantage of her.
Keeping that in mind, she warily lied, “No, it’s not him. At first, I thought it was Fabian Quinnell, but he
turned out to be an ordinary old man–a poor relative of Fiona’s,
“Is that so?” Ewan sounded disappointed. Soon, he changed the topic. “Yvette, since you have
connections in Kingbourne, you should introduce me to Mr. Quinnell Senior after you meet him.”
She readily agreed. “Of course I will. Dad, I’ll always help the family company before helping anyone
else.
“You’re the best,” Ewan said. “Gosh, the company is in dire straits, and the family expenses are-

She cut him off. “Dad, I’m heading to the Quinnella‘ tomorrow. Flons said that my clothes and bags
were too shabby. I might need some money from you for some shopping.”
“Do you need money?” Ewan had trouble sustaining his own lifestyle. But upon second thought, he
believed that Yvette could help with securing the Quinnells‘ investments
He asked, “Yvette, how much do you need? I’ll transfer the money to you right away.”
Yvette tried to sound thoughtful. “I’ll use it wisely. How about 2,000 dollars?”
2,000 dollars was nothing to Ewan in the past. But now, he grimaced at the thought of dishing out that
much money.
Gritting his teeth, he made the difficult decision to transfer the money. “Yvette, do not forget what I
asked
of you.
