All the voices that spoke against Yvonne were silenced. Even if people were upset, they had no choice but to swallow their

anger.

During dinner, Teresa and Anthony exchanged confused glances as they watched their kids.

Something felt off. The three of them were unusually quiet, almost eerily so.

Later, while Vic took Richard for a walk, the couple pulled Jack aside, desperate for answers. Meanwhile, Jeremy carried Yvonne back to their courtyard.

The Adler family’s estate felt like something straight out of history.

Their courtyard had a square fish pond in the middle, filled with red and white koi swimming lazily through the clear water.

The pond had jagged rock formations sticking out, giving it an old–world charm, though the greenish hue at the bottom made it look a little murky.

As they passed by, Jeremy slowed down. “You’re not allowed near the water alone,” he said firmly.

Yvonne nodded, all serious. “I know. I can only go near it when an adult is around.”

Jeremy looked satisfied with her answer.

After settling Charles inside, he stayed outside with Yvonne still in his arms.

His eyes drifted to the pond, and a memory surfaced, Yvonne used to have two koi of her own.

The Adler family had fish experts taking care of this pond, yet somehow, it still didn’t look as good as the ones she had raised. The difference was pretty obvious.

Yvonne crouched down beside him, staring at the water. She dipped her fingers in, swirling them around, and instantly, all the koi swam toward her.

Jeremy raised a brow. “Looks like you’re the Koi Queen.”

Yvonne pulled her hand back, frowning. “I’m not!”

Jeremy smirked. “I know. I was just making a wish. If you were a koi, maybe I’d get some good luck too.”

Yvonne blinked at him, considering it. ‘Huh. That might actually be true,‘ she thought.

After washing her hands, Jeremy carried Yvonne to the back garden to play.
