Clayton smiled inexplicably.
“You’ll know when Yvette returns to Mediania. She’s strong enough to face the facts and accept whatever’s to come.”
Nicole sighed.
“My baby Yvette has suffered so much. I hope she can return to her usual self soon.”
Clayton pursed his lips and smiled.
“Mm. You’re right.”
……
Southeast Asia.
Half a month passed.
Tate followed the police to investigate the case and was wrapping up his work.
None of Sean’s subordinates were left behind, and they were all arrested.
Yvette was accompanied by one female police officer from day to night.
She did not know if the officer was there to take care of her or to monitor her.
However, she did not care.
Tate knocked on the door while he carried a fruit basket. The female officer opened the door.
Tate nodded and said, “Can I have a few words with Ms. Quimbey?”
The female officer nodded and left the room.
Tate went in and looked at Yvette, who was sitting on the sofa drinking red wine and watching TV. She looked so relaxed and did not look like a victim at all.
She could live a lavish and carefree life anytime, anywhere.
However, her expression was less cautious compared to when she was around Sean.
Yvette finally did not have to live in fear.
At first, Tate was worried that Yvette would expose him if she knew of his identity. After all, Yvette did not seem like someone who could keep a secret.
However, he now felt that Yvette was just being protected too well before.
She was stupid, but also clean and innocent.
“Ms. Quimbey, how are you doing these days?”
Tate walked in.
Yvette smiled, raised her eyebrows, and looked a little tipsy.
“I’m fine, Tate… Officer Tate…”
Tate walked to the opposite side and sat down. He looked exhausted.
“The work here will be over soon, and we’ll be returning to Mediania tomorrow afternoon. I came to tell you in advance so that you’ll be mentally prepared.”
Yvette’s eyes flickered slightly. Even though she was very calm, she still looked hopeful and surprised.
“Thank you.”
Tate paused for a few seconds before he said, “Farley isn’t dead. He was sent back to Mediania first, and his sentence will be pronounced when he recovers.”
Yvette slowly breathed a sigh of relief. She felt less guilty that Farley did not die.
Until today, Yvette regretted shooting him impulsively that day.
Although Farley was guilty, he should not be punished by her.
Farley had always been working in the kitchen, and he was nice to her. He even persuaded her to treat Sean better.
Yvette was shocked when she watched Farley collapse in front of her.
The complex and subtle emotions in her heart surged.
“I don’t understand. Why did Sean trust Farley so much?”
Yvette looked at Tate.
Sean never let Farley participate in important discussions normally, but he only brought Farley with him at a critical time.
The corners of Tate’s lips twitched. “Farley helped Sean get sober when the old master forced Sean to take drugs. Farley also brought Sean back when Sean delivered the goods for the first time. Farley was Sean’s true benefactor, not the old master.”
Yvette was surprised. No wonder.
They got along so well and naturally, but Yvette did not think they had such a background story.
She scratched her hair and looked at Tate.
“Officer Tate, why do you look unhappy?”
Tate smiled, looking a bit lonely.
