Restoring a Life After Seven Years of Wrong Love novel Chapter 222

She quickly regained her composure and handed the golden scissors back to the staff.

"Sorry," Jabez's deep, magnetic voice rumbled from above.

Yvette simply shook her head.

The host delivered the closing remarks, officially concluding the ribbon-cutting ceremony.

Next up was the networking reception.

The moment Yvette stepped into the restroom, she heard the distinct sound of a wooden handle clattering against metal.

A wave of unease washed over her. She tried the door, only to find it locked from the outside.

Chloe had locked her in a restroom once before. This familiar tactic instantly made her the prime suspect.

"Chloe! Chloe! I know it's you! Open this door right now!"

"Yvette, I told you the other day. As long as you stay out of my way, I won't do anything to you. But you just had to go and seduce Milton! I absolutely won't let that happen!"

In Chloe's mind, Yvette was still the same pushover she had always been.

She subconsciously believed that the Yvette of today was exactly the same as before.

That was why she didn't hesitate to reveal her identity.

"You've got it all wrong. I'm a divorced woman. Do you really think someone on their second marriage could ever join the Graham family?"

Yvette's words made Chloe hesitate. "You're divorced?"

"I wouldn't make up something like a divorce just to trick you."

"Even if there's nothing going on between you and Milton, I'm warning you right now—don't even think about making a move on him!"

The sound of her high heels gradually faded away.

Click.

The restroom door was deadbolted.

Her phone rang. It was a call from Charlotte Clark.

She swiped to answer.

"Charlotte, I'm at the Cloudwood Gallery event..."

When she didn't hear Charlotte's voice, she realized something was wrong and checked her screen.

It had died and automatically shut down.

She pounded on the door with her left hand, making a huge racket for a solid ten minutes, but no one walked by.
