Shakira was thinking to cheer up Matthew when the phone on the table set to Do Not Disturb lit up, making a fuss. Matthew, with a serious expression, answered it. After listening for a while, he asked, "Is the person looking for me a girl with the sumame Banks?"

"Don't ask how I know. Just wait. I'm on my way back now" Hearing this tone, Shakira couldn't help but shake her head in frustration. With Matthew's revengeful attitude, Fiona was probably going to have a hard time. Yvette had been juggling school and the company after taking over Mitchell's entertainment company. Only after she took charge of it, did she realize that Mitchell didn't start it for her as he had claimed. Whenever she asked for acting gigs or TV appearances, he fobbed her off.

Yvette always thought Mitchell truly cared for her. After looking over artists schedules, she found out Mitchell had been holding onto great opportunities, all of which he gave to the signed female artists. Even with all these resources, those artists. were still unknown, barely making any impact.

Yvette was furious. If she had those resources, she would've definitely been more successful than those useless freeloaders. The Nelson family used every connection and resource but couldn't find Mitchell's body. Yvette made time to have a private meeting with Lago and Jessie.

In less than half a month, he lost weight and looked exhausted. Unwilling to give up but unable to change, he had no choice but to go to court and apply for bankruptcy. After working hard for about ten years in Crescentville, he lost his company, house, and luxury car overnight.

All of this was because of Shakira. Yvette glanced at the couple with visible disdain in her eyes. She looked around and spoke directly in a low voice, "Is Mitchell really dead?"
