Chapter 836
836 This Life Is Different
Margaret didn’t notice anything off about Yvette. “You should sincerely apologize to Wynter when you see her next time. What you and the Shepherds did was wrong . ”
Yvette bit her lip while looking innocent. “Grandma, you know I had no control over the engagement. When I was in Southdale, I just did what Mom told me to do.”
Margaret frowned, lost in thought.
Yvette continued, “I told Mom it wasn’t right, but she said I didn’t know any better. She said that Charlie favoring me was a blessing, and I shouldn’t ruin the relationship between the Yates and the Shepherds.
“The Yates depend on the Shepherds for many business deals. I was away from home for so long, and life in that village was hard. You know what my adoptive parents were like. They were famous for being traffickers.
“If I resisted even a little, I’d get beaten, so I didn’t dare oppose Mom when I was home. I did everything she told me to do. But don’t worry. I’ll sincerely apologize to Wynter and try my best to clear up the misunderstandings between us.”
With a face full of sincerity, Yvette added, “Grandma, you’re not in good health, and you’re always busy with the clinic. I won’t cause you any trouble. I’ll do whatever you say, so please don’t worry.”
Margaret hesitated. After all, Yvette was her biological granddaughter and had suffered greatly.
Margaret had seen the terrible lives of trafficked children. It would leave them with trauma that affected. their behavior.
She also knew that Yvette’s mother was capable of doing anything for profit.
Looking at Yvette’s face, Margaret thought that perhaps Yvette had strayed from the right path due to a lack of security. She wanted to help her find her way back.
“You don’t have to be so tense. Wynter is a reasonable child. She’ll listen to you.” Margaret reached out to stroke Yvette’s hair..
For the first time, Margaret showed Yvette some affection.
Yvette’s downcast eyes flashed with a hint of malice.
Reasonable? Wynter was vindictive and never gave her any leeway.
Why was Wynter born into wealth while she had to survive in a village, always looking over her shoulder?
Margaret was easily fooled. She believed Yvette had been beaten. In fact, the useless couple in the village just hoped she would repay them someday but never actually hit her.
She was nothing like the foolish children locked in the basement.
As Yvette thought about it, she remembered that Wynter was the illegitimate child who had been locked
away. Yet the person who had found Wynter didn’t appear in her memories.

In this second chance at life, Yvette only knew what she had experienced.
Interestingly, in her memories, the Quinnell family never publicly announced Wynter’s return.
There was no media coverage, so she had no idea.
Yvette distinctly remembered that during the same show in her previous life, Naomi had shone brightly. She identified many artifacts and captivated many scions in Kingbourne. One had even given her a limited -edition sports car in front of the TV station building, which had caused quite a scene.
At that time, Yvette attended a banquet in Southdale.
Naomi was the epitome of the high–society lady they all aspired to be.
Back then, ail of Yvette’s friends said the same thing: So what if Naomi was an adopted daughter? She was far superior to the biological daughter in every way.
So why did Naomi end up like this? Where did things go wrong?
