Frankie transferred the 3.6 million dollars, knowing he wouldn’t get anything in return. However, since he already transferred the money, he figured he might as well uncover the truth behind Yvette’s relationship with Demetrius.
Clearing his throat, Frankie said ingratiatingly, “Ms. Zeller, now that you’ve received the money. Can you tell me why you and Demetrius are so close!
Yvette reclined in the rocking chair, her face mostly hidden under the hood of her sweatshirt. She spoke lazily. “Tm not answering that. Right now, you have two choices–sit here quietly or head back to your room. Don’t block my sunlight.”
Frankie left the gazebo dejectedly, head hanging low. All his exement had been for nothing. He lost the money. no gossip, and ended up with absolutely nothing. What a wasted lay he cursed inwardly.

Inside the living room. Demetrius had remained silent ever sinc Yvette had left. Only when he saw her outside, lying in the rocking chair with her face covered, did he quietly move his wheelchair.
Jeremiah stood next to him with his hands in his pockets. Both of them exuded charisma and an imposing aura. Despite their powerful and cold appearance, their gazes were both fixed on Yvette.
Demetrius spoke in a deep voice. “Yvette rarely smiles. However just now, she smiled three times–genuine smiles. I can tell she’s been happy lately. Even though she doesn’t say it, her expressions never lie.” Demetrius tone carried a mix of emotion. relief, and an indefinable complexity.
Jeremiah stood tall and composed, with his hands still in his pocket. He spoke softly. “She will only grow happier. That little girl deserves the best this world has to offer.”
Demetrius‘ gaze became more intense when he heard this. He thought, Little girl? Other than Jeremiah, there was no one else in the world who would call Yvette a little girl because anyone who knew Yvette would find it difficult to treat her like an ordinary young girl.
Demetrius said softly, Tll take that as your promise to me, her family. Do you want to hear about Yvette’s past!”
Jeremiah tilted his head and glanced at Demetrius in his wheelchair. His blue eyes narrowed slightly. Tm all ears” Every time Yvette talked about her past, she dismissed it with nonchalance. This time, he wanted to hear her childhood stories from someone else’s perspective.
Demetrius‘ gaze drifted, and those childhood memories played in his mind. Just like not a moment of it had ever faded. “I have a younger sister, Alice, whom I met along with Yvette in the slums.
“I was kidnapped as a baby by my parents‘ enemies and thrown into the biggest slum in Mysonna. I wasn’t found until I was 15. Before that, I grew up with Yvette.
“At that time, the laws in Mysonna weren’t as well–developed as they are now, especially in places like the slums, where even the police wouldn’t go.
“It was chaotic–drugs, murder, looting everywhere. I met Yvette when I was four when she came to the slums from an orphanage. Demetrius‘ voice had a hint of sadness mixed with a chilling coldness.
He continued, “Before Yvette came, Alice and I were always bullied.
“It was Yvette’s arrival that saved us. Don’t be fooled by Yvette being just four years old. She had some strange energy and knew how to fight. At first, the people in the slums didn’t take Yvette seriously.

But over time, through her strength and wits, she became someone no one dared to mess with. If it weren’t for meeting Yvette, I probably would never have believed a four–year–old could not only survive but dominate in the slums.
“Alice and I survived under Yvette’s protection. It’s quite unbelievable, isn’t it?” At just four years old. Yvette was already

Jeremiah’s blue eyes glimmered while his expression remained old and indifferent. Yvette had walked a path of thorns. breaking through the darkness bravely to stand where she was new.
Some people were destined for remarkable paths, perhaps from the very day they were born. Jeremiah said in a deep voice, “To her, nothing is impossible.”
Demetrius was momentarily shocked, glancing at Jeremiah before smiling faintly. He thought, ‘Now I know why Yvette chose him.
Demetrius continued. “Even though Yvette was younger than me she taught me every survival skill I have. She can learn anything that interests her incredibly fast–better than those who’ve spent years mastering it. That’s what you call talent.
“But Alice’s accident changed everything. While Yvette and I were away, someone from the slum tried to kidnap Alice. Alice struggled and fell down the stairs. That fall left her brain damaged, leaving her mentally and cognitively impaired at the age
of six.”
As Demetrius spoke, his expression became more and more somber, full of overwhelming hatred and regret. He thought. If only I had been by Alice’s side back then, none of this would have happened.
