Chapter 41
Yvonne rolled her eyes. How was she supposed to be happy when others misunderstood her? She felt
suffocated because of it.
"By the way, there’s a group of people causing lots of trouble to the Sue family recently and are even
creating a lot of problems at the construction site. I asked a friend to investigate for me but there were
no findings, yet Harvey suddenly pretended to be kind and give us his findings. During the meeting, he
said that he found out who did it and I was told to have a discussion with them tomorrow. Do you think
there’s something fishy about this?" Yvonne asked, and her instinct told her that there must be a
problem with the situation. Harvey was right. Her attitude was fortunate not to harm her, how could it
help her.
Samuel frowned. He heard about it too and told Johann to find out more. Johann even arrested two
people and tortured them for information, but to no avail. The other party obviously did a good job of
keeping everything under wraps, so there was no way Harvey would know anything.
"What time will you be meeting the person tomorrow? " Samuel asked. Something was clearly fishy
about it and he did not feel at ease to let Yvonne go alone.
"I don''t know yet. Harvey will notify me tomorrow."
"Let me go with you and be your assistant tomorrow,"
Samuel said.
Back home, Samuel cooked dinner as usual. Although he was previously always alone in the kitchen,
Yvonne recently went in more often to help out a little and perhaps try her hand at frying a dish.
Yvonne''s cooking usually never made it to the table though, because it was very unsightly. It was a big
ck mess and no one could not see what the dish was.
Back in the living room, Lydia asked Godfrey," Godfrey, haven''t you noticed that our daughter has been
acting a bit different recently?"
Godfrey saw that too. Yvonne never went to the kitchen before and her rtionship with Samuel was
like that of a stranger. However, she recently learned t o help Samuel and their topics of conversation
increased significantly too.
"Maybe our daughter is slowly epting him," Godfrey said.
That was the answer that Lydia was most reluctant to hear. He pinched Godfrey and said, "ept, my
foot! You can’t possibly allow our daughter to stay with that wimp her entire life?"
Godfrey himself was a wimp, so he was not qualified t oment on Samuel. From Godfrey''s point of
view, the situation was a good thing because there would be no divorce, and the olddy would thus
not be upset about it.
"Does it matter? Our daughter is finally showing her prospects now and it doesn’t matter if we raise a
wimp at home," Godfrey said indifferently.
Lydia red at Godfrey and said, "Isn’t enough that I have one useless wimp at home? Do we have to
add another one? Do you know how badly my family speaks ill of me behind my back?"
Godfrey shifted in his seat awkwardly and said, "Your mother''s family are all gossipy women. Just don''t
listen to what they say. Now that Yvonne''s on the rise, are you going to force her to divorce? Do you
think the olddy will let us go if she finds out about this?"
Lydia sighed. The biggest obstacle to everything was the olddy-if she did not agree, no one would
dare to call the shots.
Moreover, Yvonne finally gained a position at thepany. Divorce at that juncture was clearly
impossible.
"One year. I''ll see what he can do in one year," Lydia said.
"One year?" Godfrey looked at Lydia suspiciously.
"Nothing. It''s nothing serious," Lydia said disdainfully. She did not think that Samuel could aplish
anything in a year. He was still doing housework at home, in addition to fetching Yvonne to and from
work every day. Lydia did not believe that he could change his fortunes just by being a driver.
"By the way, there''s a new Audi downstairs. A new one too. Do you know who owns it? It''s parked with
us." Lydia was puzzled. She did not see anyone buy a new car and it was puzzling that someone would
buy the same model as soon as they bought one.
"Also, I''ve opened the wrong car door once. Both of these are new cars without a license. I was so
confused, and I have no idea who owns it."
Lydia simply asked casually without digging further into it.
Samuel was the first to take a bath after dinner. He then filled the bathtub with water, since Yvonne had
been working hard recently and always took a bubble bath to unwind.
Barely half an hour afterying on his floor mattress, Yvonne returned to the room after finishing her
bath.
The snow-white bath towel wrapped her body like a tube-top dress. On her skin were droplets of clear
water that were visible to the naked eye, like a lotus flower breaking the surface of the water.
Samuel looked down and shied away. The season had just entered midsummer and it was another
difficult day.
"Linda came looking for me again today. She said she wants to fight with me over you. What do you

think about it?" Yvonneid on the bed and said to Samuel after applying her facial mask.
Samuel did not know whether tough or cry. He never thought that his unintentional actions would
result in such consequences. Linda''s words were
merely a joke, of course.
"She’s just joking," Samuel said.
"Of course, she''s joking. Are you hoping that it''s true?" Yvonne''s tone changed distinctly.
Samuel smiled and said, "The weather seems to have turned cold recently."
"Really? I think it''s still really hot. You can sleep on the sofa if you feel cold," Yvonne said.
Samuel looked at those beautiful legs on the bed and realized that he would have to continue mulling
over that missed opportunity for a long time. He changed the subject and said, "I suspect that the Sue
family''s recent troubles are rted to Harvey."
The fact that Johann was unsessful in his attempt to investigate that matter, coupled with Harvey''s
apparent knowledge of the culprit, was a big red g. After pondering over it, Samuel felt that the only
possibility was that Harvey masterminded the entire situation.
"No, even though he’s unhappy with me, he won''t do anything to harm the Sue family. He’ll be done for
if Grandma found out," Yvonne remarked in surprise.
Samuel smiled coldly and said, "We’ll know tomorrow whether that’s actually the case."
