The Stantons did not give their all in Yvette’s case because they had too much on their hands.
Back then when Nicole was in trouble, Grant got in touch with many parties, including those in the underworld.
Grant really did everything he could to help Nicole.
Thus, his high-profile act back then made him a target to his enemies.
With one wrong step, the Stantons could lose everything.
They were not as fearless as those criminals, nor would they compromise and embark on that path for Yvette’s sake.
They could only provide assistance that was within their power.
That was what Floyd told his children.
Yvette took a deep breath, stepped forward, and hugged Nicole’s shoulders.
She patted Nicole’s back and smiled. Her voice was low and hoarse as she said, “I know. Although I called you, I actually hoped that you didn’t show up. Sean was merciful to me, but he might not treat you the same way. I can’t expect others to protect me forever. I need to learn to grow up on my own. Although I failed in Cali and came back defeated, this time, I have no room to turn back. Sean is targeting me, so no one can help me.”
Yvette knew that she could not blame anyone except Sean for being kidnapped.
How could Yvette blame Nicole for not saving her?
No one knew where the base of this huge criminal group was, and Stanton Corporation was not invincible.
Clayton also kept his hands clean for Nicole. Not to mention, he was also being watched closely in Mediania, so he could not do anything discreetly.
Nicole and Yvette understood each other and smiled.
Yvette looked at the pair of earrings in appreciation.
“Are these real diamonds?”
Nicole looked at her helplessly.
“Of course! I got the diamond from an auction and got it custom made. You just need to press and hold this for a few seconds to turn on the GPS. But if you turn it on, it can be detected, so you must be careful.”
Yvette paused and looked at her calmly.
“You know what I want to do?”
Nicole pursed her lips. “Lance can’t help you now, and you can’t make the entire Sheldon Corporation obey you. I know that you can’t rest assured if you don’t solve the current problem.”
Yvette lowered her gaze and nodded.
“I’m waiting for Sean to take me away again.”
Then, she could finally put an end to it.
“How can I help?”
Nicole asked.
Yvette paused and leaned closer to Nicole. “You can help me investigate one thing.”
Who was the old master’s backer that wanted to help Yvette?
Yvette would have a high success rate if she could start to take them down from there.
Hearing this, Nicole nodded.
The two smiled at each other.
Nicole turned and left.
Yvette pushed the door open and entered the ward.
She glanced at the man on the hospital bed, smiled, and put on the pair of earrings.
If it was back then, Yvette would have fled as far as possible once she was set free so no one could find her.
However, Yvette was a changed person now. She was willing to sacrifice herself because she did not want Lance’s life to be threatened.
In the afternoon, Mrs. Quimbey made some soup and brought it over. She went with Fiona.
They did not notice anything unusual about Yvette and thought that their lives would get better since Yvette was back.
Everything would be back to normal once Lance wakes up.
Mrs. Quimbey asked Yvette to eat something and pinched her face.
“Yvie, come and eat first.”
It was just like when Yvette was young.
Mrs. Quimbey rarely called Yvette by her nickname when she was older.
Yvette smiled, walked over, and poured out some soup for them first.
Fiona looked at her with sore eyes.
