Initially, when Yvette returned to the city, she seemed like a harmless young woman from the countryside, unworthy of

attention.

But things had quickly spiraled beyond control. Yvette not only garnered the interest of the elite from Betrico but also became a renowned artist and an Interpol Officer.

Her involvement, no doubt, had turned the tide in the Chambers family's favor during their clash with the Smiths.
