schary and Nellie walked downstairs just in time to see Yvette slap Winona hard across the face.

Winona was stunned, her mouth hanging open in shock. She had never been hit like that before. All she wanted was to get a the out of Yvette, but she never expected her to actually fight back. The hatred in Winona’s eyes was almost palpable, but she held it in. She would make Yvette pay for this slap.

Zeke watched the whole thing aside and was taken aback too.

The servants were too scared to say anything. Ms. Yvette Zeller is really ruthless. Just look at how swollen Winona’s face has

become

Winona glanced and saw Zachary storming toward them. Gloating over her moment of “victory,” she barely felt the sting on her cheek. What did I do wrong.. Yvette? Did I upset you? Why did you hit me?”

Though Winona’s voice was small, Zeke heard every word clearly. He knew her temperament well yet didn’t expect her to be so impatient. But considering Yvette’s looks, it made sense that Winona felt threatened. ‘Attacking Yvette on the very first day? What a malicious woman! he thought.

Zachary was furious. To him, it looked like Yvette had slapped Winona for no reason. “Stop it, you ungrateful girl!”

Ungrateful girl? What fresh words, Yvette sneered silently. She didn’t want to be seen as anything like that. All she wanted was to be the one in control.

Nellie nearly lost it when she saw her daughter’s swollen cheek. She knew that Winona must have been too anxious and provoked Yvette on purpose, but so what? She vowed to make Yvette pay for this-happened to coincide with Winona on this point.

Zachary rushed to comfort Winona. Nellie and Zeke closed in around her, leaving Yvette standing alone in awkward silence.

“Dad, please don’t blame Yvette. We got back late, and she probably felt ignored. If she thinks hitting me will solve anything. then let it be “She turned to show Zachary the side of her face where Yvette had slapped her

Look, such a kind girl! Nellie watched Zachary’s expression darken and felt a sense of satisfaction. She pretended to wipe away tears while saying, “Yvette, can’t we talk about this? Why resort to violence? Winona has to attend Mr. Griffin’s party next month. She can’t be delayed”

Zachary felt a wave of anger as he listened to Nellic. He stepped forward, ready to slap Yvette. But she just shifted slightly, effortlessly blocking his raised hand in mid-air

“Want to hit me? You think you’re worthy?” Yvette finally spoke up. Since this whole thing started, she had been silent with. her expression indifferent as if she were just a bystander.

Under her cold gaze, Zachary found himself stuck. If he hit her, he knew he’d definitely regret it. But if he didn’t, what would everyone think of him as the head of the Chambers family? And oddly, he felt his hand heavy and weak,

The crowd noticed Zachary’s awkward situation. While Yvette stood her ground without any effort, Zachary’s face grew darker, the veins in his arm almost bulging.

Just when things seemed to freeze, Nellie sensed Zachary’s embarrassment and stepped in. “Honey, it was just a heat-of-the- moment thing for Yvette to slap Winona. They’re sisters, after all You can’t be too hard on them.”

Hearing Nellie’s words, Zachary let out a sigh of relief and lowered his hand, though he stubbornly added, “Since you put it that way, I’ll let it slide this time. But if it happens again, Yvette, Em not going to hold back. Now, hurry up and apologize to Winona

“Apologize? After that hard slap, Dad just let her say sorry? Hmph Mom is right. Dad does have a soft spot for that dead woman. Yvette is definitely going to be a pain, Winona thought in anger.

Even Zeke was a bit surprised by Zachary’s unusual leniency toward Yvette. His expression darkened, a stark contrast to his earlier cheerful demeanor.

Everyone was focused on the chaos, so no one really noticed-except for Yvette. She had seen charming scoundrel guys like Zeke too often. The deceitful nature of him hid behind that innocent face. To understand his true intentions, one’d have to dig deeper.

“You want me to apologize?” Yvette asked casually.

She forced a smile. “I know you don’t mean that. But since you did hit me, even if I don’t make you apologize, people will think Dad isn’t teaching his daughter well. So, since it’s out there I guess I have to accept your apology.
