Yvette's face turned pale. "Brother, you don't trust me just because of this?" Finn frowned deeply, and before he could say anything else, Yvette's tears fell even more heavily. She buried her face in her hands, sobbing and complaining.

"Yes. I lied about this. Keith was found by Fiona, Miss Banks of the Banks Group, through her connections. She was a new friend I knew at the company."

"I didn't mean to deceive. Fiona made some mistakes and everyone knew it. The whole company was biased against her. I've experienced that feeling of being criticized and misunderstood, which was unpleasant. Fiona has changed and wants to help me and the company."

"If I tell the truth that Keith was hired because of Fiona's connections, they would start to distrust him.

"We didn't know Keith would lie to and deceive us. When everything was revealed, I was so relieved that Shakira had found Mr. Reynolds and his team. At least, I didn't make a huge mistake"

Yvette's voice became choked and hoarse. "I thought you came to save me for you understood and know me. I hadn't thought, after all these years as siblings, even you don't believe me. Did I mess up so badly that I let you down too?"

At the end, Yvette slowly lifted her head, with her eyes brimming with tears and full of sorrow and grief.

Finn was silent for quite some time. Regardless of the reason, the facts couldn't be changed. She deceived everyone for fear of being suspected, even making him bear the blame.

Finn, who was meticulous and strict at work, couldn't tolerate such selfish and overly ambitious subordinates in the

company.

Strangely, Finn suddenly thought about Mitchell and Felix. Ever since they were kids, Mitchell had been the closest to Yvette, yet before disappearing, he gradually became distant and indifferent to this deep sibling bond.

Felix was the same case. At that moment, he could somewhat empathize with his "sister" who had been part of the family for nineteen years. He realized she wasn't as naive and innocent as she seemed.

Finn's eyes grew more intense. After a moment, he hesitantly pulled out a sky-blue handkerchief from inside his suit jacket. "Stop crying. Wipe your tears."

Yvette took the handkerchief and wiped her face, leaving dark marks from her tears on it.

Finn's expression stayed serious. "Whether your intentions were good or not, lying is still wrong, especially when it comes to work matters.

"As you mentioned, if it weren't for Shakira, no one would have caught Keith's pretense. By the time you all signed the contract and got the project started, it would have been too late to correct anything." Yvette mumbled quietly, "I was reflecting on my actions while waiting for you. I felt frustrated and full of regret.

"If I hadn't been so competitive about the project with Shakira, none of this would have happened, and no one would have misunderstood you. It's all my fault. I'm really sorry."

Finn rubbed his forehead, feeling a sense of powerlessness as if he were hitting a cotton pillow. He didn't say anything else and just told the driver to take them home.

Yvette kept her head down, pretending to wipe her tears away, and in a moment, the look of grievance and pity had vanished from her face.
