Chapter 549

Claude said, "Tell your friends to leave. Don't you want to know what happened to your mother, Lilian, back then?"

Yvette's eyebrows raised slightly. A sudden chill appeared in her eyes, and she narrowed them and said in a low voice. "You guys go first"

Bruce, Sienna, and Emmett knew the following conversation was not meant for their cars, so they stood up and left.

Two minutes later, only Yvette and Jeremiah-who were sitting on the couch-and Victor-who was standing beside Claude -remained in the large living room.

Claude stared at Jeremiah with cloudy eyes. "Is he your boyfriend?

Yvette pursed her lips and crossed her legs. Her eyes were cold and intimidating, giving off a rebellious vibe. "Fiancé."

Before Yvette revealed who Jeremiah was, Victor still had a glimmer of hope that the two were not that close. He had not expected Jeremiah to become Yvette's fiancé in just a few months. Their relationship progressed so quickly. Jeremiah's expression remained neutral. His features were sharp and defined, and a slight smile appeared on his thin lips. But, when he looked toward Claude and Victor, his eyes became cold and indifferent like eternal ice and snow. "Let's get to the point," he said.

"The moment she got with Zachary, she was destined to be the most dazzling among the city's elite. You should already know how much Zachary loved her.

"If he didn't, he wouldn't have spent 20 years on such an elaborate plan just to get that small clue from Nellie and take revenge on every Smith family member involved."

Claude did not expect that Zachary would tolerate Nellie for so many years just to avenge Lilian. He underestimated Zachary, thinking that he had compromised by marrying Nellie and would soon forget Lilian.
