Restoring a Life After Seven Years of Wrong Love novel Chapter 221

"Sybil, Yvette doesn't even have an invitation. I'm just following the rules," Willow Huxley smiled, stepping forward to explain in hopes of appeasing her anger.

"Rules? Do you even have the right to talk about rules?" Sybil eyed her with undisguised disdain.

"Miss, this is the invitation that fell out of your purse," a server said, handing the card to Yvette.

"Thank you." Yvette took it and waved it in the air. "Ms. Huxley, I wonder if I can take a seat and rest now?"

Willow's face turned pale. Losing face in front of everyone because of Sybil, and wrongfully accusing Yvette on top of it, was a complete disaster.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, she had no choice but to apologize to Yvette.

"Ms. Yeats, I'm so sorry. I was just following procedure, and I didn't expect it to cause a misunderstanding. Please, take a seat and rest."

She quickly made an excuse and left the scene.

"Sybil, why are you here?" Yvette asked, helping the older woman sit down.

"Yvette, don't worry. As long as I'm breathing, she will never join the Shelby family. You will always be a Shelby."

Yvette lowered her eyes. "Thank you, Sybil."

Sybil didn't stay long before leaving the venue.

Three men with an air of aristocratic elegance walked over together. Upon seeing where Yvette was seated, they all froze.

"You're the one stepping in for Professor Crispin at the ribbon-cutting?" Trent Sterling's eyes widened in surprise.

"Yes," Yvette replied before closing her eyes to rest, clearly unwilling to engage with them.

Willow answered a call from Chloe Caldwell and stepped out of the lounge.

"Willow, how do I look today?"

"You look gorgeous. I made sure to arrange for you to sit right next to Milton later."

"Thanks, Willow."

Jabez Shelby sat dead center in the front row. To his left were Yvette and Milton, and to his right were Willow and Trent.

Chloe took the seat next to Milton. "Milton, did you need me for something?"

"Did you need something, Chloe?" Milton tore his gaze away from Yvette.

"I... I just got back from abroad and I'm looking for a job. I was wondering if you could help me out?"
