Chapter 228

Selena quickly shook her head. "She's not home, please leave."

"Mrs. Flynn, we've checked the surveillance on all the roads. Yvette and Mr. Flynn went straight home from the auction. Please cooperate with our work," the officers said. "What do you want with her?" Selena asked.

"She's suspected of inciting a crime and needs to be taken back for investigation," an officer said sternly.

Selena calmly stated, "That's impossible; someone must be framing her."

"Mrs. Flynn, without evidence or a warrant, we wouldn't be here. Please cooperate with our investigation," the officer insisted.

As Selena tried to argue, Xavier had already opened the entrance to the basement. "Yvette is right here," he said. The police exchanged glances and hurried down to catch her.

When Yvette was brought out, her face was pale, and her shoulders were trembling. She tried to grab Xavier, "Xavier, save me!" But Xavier watched her coldly the entire time, "Tell them everything you know."

Yvette realized Xavier wouldn't save her anymore. She looked towards Selena in pain, "Mom, help me!"

Selena hurried over, looking at Yvette, she said, "Be careful with her, she's pregnant. Can you take responsibility if anything happens?"

As they stepped out the door, Yvette suddenly stopped, "My stomach hurts!"

Xavier frowned deeply and quickly pushed others aside to hold Yvette. "What's going on?" he asked.

"Xavier, help me, my stomach hurts," Yvette said, looking deathly pale, as if she could faint at any moment.

The police exchanged looks, "Take her to the hospital."

On the way back, Yasmine hit the play button, filling the car with upbeat music. Lucy, sitting in the back seat, danced happily. "I didn't expect things to go so smoothly today. I thought there would be a bunch, and of people competing with me for Misty Evergreen Isle. Yasmine was spot on; those people had no idea. You should've seen it, once the auction ended and I came to you, Yvette's face, Hunter's face, and even Irene's were all green with envy."

Yasmine chuckled, "Thanks to you, Lucy. How about grabbing some food together? Let's have Morgan treat us today. I even brought my Paragon Hotel membership card. Let's head over there."
