With Yvonne's efficiency, she dug out all the dirt about Conrad Young's illegitimate child and made it public in no time.
Her means to bring the scandal to light were somewhat unusual. She had met Conrad's mistress, Jamie Wagner, and asked her to pick up her son. As agreed, Jamie would then let her friend drop her son off at the Young residence, where the boy was supposed to cry to attract people's attention as he claimed he had lost his way.
The plan coincided with Jamie's interest since she had long wanted to marry into the Young family. After all, Conrad had always wanted a son, which Bianca failed to give him. Since Jamie had given birth to the boy, she had tried testing Conrad's stance on the formal acknowledgment of the son, to which Conrad expressed approval but had not yet gone into the details of how he would make that happen.
As did all mistresses, Jamie was not satisfied with being the other woman and was ambitious about marrying Conrad.
With Bianca in deep trouble with Sophia, Jamie did not see why she should let the opportunity to oust Bianca slide, especially when she had someone backing her.
She followed Yvonne's instruction and fetched his son, Dylan Young, from the kindergarten before asking her friend to send him to the Young residence.
The poor boy, barely three years old, was deeply attached to his mother since she was his only family. When he was suddenly left alone and could not find her mother's friend, he was so frightened he dared not go anywhere.
He stood helplessly in the middle of the road as he recalled that Jamie had told him to stay where he was in case he got lost. Jamie had also instructed him to show his nametag and ask people to call his father if some strangers answered his call for help.
The boy glanced at his name tag and began crying.
As his sobs grew louder, the butler noticed it and went out to check what was happening.
When he saw the boy crying at the door, he went over to check on him, only to receive a name tag with a phone number from the boy.
"H-Hold on... What's your father's name?" the butler asked, stunned.
"I call him Dad..." the boy choked out.
Although the old butler did not get a name, he was all too familiar with Conrad's phone number.
He observed the boy and intended to drive him away but could not since no adults were around.
Moreover, the boy was crying increasingly loud.
Just as he was caught in a dilemma, Cecily arrived at the door in her car as she was heading out.
After a long and disappointing day with Sophia, she figured she should go out and unwind with her little boyfriend, but before she could even drive out of the house, she was met with yet another obstacle.
When she saw the boy bawling his eyes out and looking for his father, she got out of the car grumpily and asked, "Who is he? Why is he crying here?"
"I'm looking for my dad. Call him for me!" the boy pleaded and ran over to Cecily, who dodged the boy immediately.
Her disdainful glance swept across the boy and finally stopped at the phone number on the name tag.
Spurred by a sense of familiarity, she checked her phone contacts. As she punched the fifth digit on her phone, Conrad's name appeared on the search result bar.
"How did you get my dad's number?" she interrogated the boy.
"He's my dad! Call him! Call him!"
"Don't touch me!" Cecily yelled, pushing the boy away.
Having been thrown to the ground, the boy cried even harder, bringing Bianca to the scene.
Bianca was only slightly alerted when she saw the boy, but her entire face paled from shock when she saw the number on the name tag.
As a drama evolved at the residence, a man Yvonne hired recorded everything on the sly.
