Chapter 0091

Candice’s direct questioning caused Yvonne to tense up. She awkwardly fidgeted with Peach’s clothes.

Observing this, Candice asked with a stern expression, “Has he been abusing you and Peach?”

She noticed not only the marks on Yvonne’s face but also the faint bruises on Peach’s neck, partially

concealed by her Cotlar.

Initially hesitant, Yvonne, encouraged by Peach’s expectant gaze, confessed through tears, “It’s not always like this. He just had too much to drink the other day and ended up bumping into me.”

Candice, frowning deeply, probed further, “Did he coerce you into giving him the money, or did you willingly

give it to him?”

Yvonne, visibly struggling, finally murmured, “Peach is so young.”

Candice silently regarded her.

Yvonne’s once upright posture now sagged, her hands on the table quivering as though weighed down by

immense pain.

Sensing her mother’s distress, Peach started to weep. Yvonne quickly dried her tears and soothed her.

After calming Peach, Yvonne cast a glance at Candice, then looked away.

Candice, carefully watching her mother’s expressions, was piecing together the truth. She was about to confront Yvonne further when her phone rang, interrupting her speech.

Yvonne’s phone, a model from an unknown brand, had a screen with several cracks.

The moment the call connected, an angry man’s voice bellowed out, “Where the fuck have you been? I’m starving to death here. Are you out there squandering money on that money pit again?”

Due to the phone’s poor sound isolation, his loud and clear voice was fully audible to Candice, who heard

every word.

Yvonne was embarrassed. She whispered as she hastily covered the phone, “Ivor, Peach is your child too!”
