Chapter 877

877 Dalton Hits Back
Dalton said without any warmth in his tone, “Especially you , Ms. Yates. Listen closely. First, I was not in any white car.”
At that moment, time seemed to have frozen. The CEOS looked bewildered. Yvette was initially secretly delighted. Her expression stiffened as well.
“Secondly, I wasn’t in the South–West corner initially,” Dalton said calmly.
Yvette could not believe her ears. “Impossible! How is this possible?”
The news said that the accident happened at the South–West comer!
Dalton continued nonchalantly, “You didn’t even predict this. It looks like your fortune–telling skills are nothing special.”
The CEOs started to doubt Yvette. Theo also became quiet. He wanted to hear what Yvette had to say about this.
Yvette took a step back. She looked at Mortimer and said frantically, “But he said that there was a truck and oil tanks! This isn’t wrong, right!”
“Truck and oil tanks?” Dalton chuckled. Although he was coughing, he seemed like he was mocking her.
“There are always trucks going about at the South–West corner. Besides, there are also a lot of people selling smuggled gas there too. This was on the news previously.
“Anyone who has been to the South–West corner would have heard of this. This does not prove anything.”
That was true. Anyone who knew a bit of road planning knew this was where the route of most trucks was. It has been this way in Kingbourne for many years.
The CEOs looked at Yvette. “Ms. Yates, do you want to tell us how you predicted that Mr. Yarwood would appear at the South–West corner?”
Wynter wanted to know this too.
Yvette was highly on guard. She could not let Wynter find out that she had a past life. She could secretly tell Theo that she could predict the future, but she could not say it in front of so many people. This was her secret. She had to keep it to herself.
Besides, she had never even met some of the people there. If she were to do a fortune–telling reading on the spot and she made another mistake, others would suspect her even more.
She could only fabricate those stories earlier because Dalton had not returned. It was alright even if some
of the details were not right.
But at that moment, Dalton was there. The fact that he was not even in the white car made Yvette event
more afraid to say anything further.
She bit her lips and said, “A fortune–teller never reveals their secrets.” When she said such a thing

previously, the CEOS would still flatter her.

However, at that moment, they started to doubt her. “Ms. Yates, you’re being too vague. Is there anything concrete you can show?”
They no longer fawned over Yvette like before. They even sounded rather impatient. They only flattered her previously because she could predict the future. If not, usually , they would not even talk to a person of
her status.
From what Dalton said, she might have just guessed it. She was no different from that cheat they met under the bridge a few days ago!
The CEOs were starting to get impatient. They wanted an explanation.
Yvette used one of the sentences she had read online to brush this matter off once again. “The art of the Arcane Way has always been subjective. Some believed it, some didn’t. Even in predictions, there would be mistakes. If you don’t believe me, I can’t do anything about it.”
