Yara's face turned beet red as she stared at Yvette in disbelief. The once-obedient and gentle daughter had actually dared to strike her.

Yvette's hand trembled as she lowered it. "Madam Yara, I suggest you watch your mouth. If there's a next time, it won't just be a slap," Yvette warned, her voice shaking but firm. Yara stood frozen, her mind reeling from the shock. She recovered quickly, though, and lunged at Yvette, intent on retaliating.

However, several bodyguards swiftly intervened, pinning her down on the snowy ground. The once-dignified socialite was now a picture of disarray, her luxurious image shattered. "Let me go! Let me go! How dare you stop me from hitting my daughter?" Yara screamed.

The bodyguards wouldn't possibly let her go without Xavier's orders to release her.

Yvette couldn't help but find the situation ironic. Normally, Yara would never admit Yvette was her daughter, but now, just to justify hitting her, she claimed their relationship with conviction. Clenching her fists, Yvette addressed the bodyguards, "Take her away. I don't want to see her."

Viola was in the house when she heard the commotion. "What's going on?" she asked as she came out.

"It's nothing, really. Please go back inside and rest; it's cold out here," Yvette urged, gently guiding Viola back indoors.

As Yara was dragged away, she caught a glimpse of Yvette helping Viola with a smile on her face, a scene that looked like a loving mother-daughter moment. Deep down, Yara seethed with resentment for Viola.
