Gary had sent people to investigate Yvette.
After all, she was once the most popular female actress in the country and many details of her life were public knowledge. It didn't take much effort to gather information about her.
Her marriage to Xavier was heavily publicized, which was in stark contrast to their secretive past together.
In front of the cameras, they weren't shy about displaying affection for each other publicly.
At that time, they were considered a golden couple, admired by everyone.
Less than a year into their marriage, Yvette gave birth to their daughter, Lana.
It was said that Yvette faced some complications after delivering Lana and nearly lost her life.
Out of concern for his wife, Xavier resisted pressure from the elders in his family to bear a son. In the end, they never tried for a second child.
This was just a romanticized facade to mislead the public.
In fact, Xavier himself desired to have a son, just as much as the elders in his family.
After Lana, Yvette was pregnant twice, but both pregnancies were aborted shortly after the results showed that both were daughters.
The multiple abortions and miscarriages had damaged Yvette's uterus, making her unable to conceive more children.
In the end, Xavier was forced to give up on the idea of having a son.
Regardless, none of this was any concern to Gary.
The only thing he wanted to know was the whereabouts of his daughter.
In the last letter Yvette wrote to him, she mentioned that she had given the child away and was preparing to start a new life.
By the time he read the letter, three years had already passed and Yvette had long since married Xavier.
He could have gone to find her, revealing their past to Xavier and everyone who knew her.
Moreover, he could press charges against her for bigamy and ruin her reputation.
But, he didn't.
At that time, his guilt toward her far outweighed any resentment he felt.
Gary could understand why she'd made that choice and was willing to wish for her happiness.
However, his only concern was regarding his own daughter.
He secretly kept an eye on Yvette and Xavier, but apart from Lana, there was no other child around them.
In addition, he sent someone to inquire about his daughter's whereabouts indirectly from Yvette's former agent, who was considered her most trusted friend.
