Chapter 52


    Samuel went to the general store at 4.30pm, but the store still had not opened. He had a bad feeling


    about this. Has something terrible happened to the owner''s family? Why would they suddenly close up


    shop without a single word otherwise?


    After he picked Yvonne up, he noticed that her face was puffed up like a goldfish. It was obvious that


    she was fuming. "What’s wrong?" he asked, smiling. "The matter is solved, no? Or did Grandma not


    praise you?"


    Yvonne harrumphed icily. "Today, when Johann brought Gareth to expose everything Harvey did,


    Grandma just let him get away," she said. "All she did was tell him to go back home and reflect upon


    himself."


    Samuel could only express a mirthless smile at her words. Sure, Grandma Sue would always have a


    bias toward Harvey, but he should have been demoted no matter what. At the very least, she had to


    make an example of him. The words ''reflect upon himself’ soundedughably ridiculous in this case.


    Additionally, it was not just a simple case of Grandma Sue being partial toward Harvey-Yvonne had


    absolutely no standing in her eyes. It was because she had never considered Yvonne''s feelings toward


    the matter.


    She acted as if she had Yvonne by the short hairs. Did


    she not fear that Yvonne came to an open break in rtionship with the Sues? Such an arrogant old


    woman.


    "Right. I only found out today that the man from yesterday was Johann. Why did he help me?" Yvonne


    stared at Samuel, questions sparking in her eyes. This matter was obviously connected to him.


    "Uh...I spent some money to hire Johann,” Samuel replied coolly.


    "Spent some money? How much?” Yvonne asked, curious.


    "A hundred thousand."


    "A hundred thousand!” Yvonne eximed, staring at him. This failure of a man actually spent another


    hundred thousand! That was worth an entire year of her sry.


    Now that she thought about it though, it was likely that she would have fallen into Gareth’s hands


    yesterday if Johann had not made an appearance. Furthermore, she would have been defiled by


    Gareth. She felt a little better after she considered this.


    "A rich man sure has money." Yvonne pressed her lips together, twisting them into a sour expression.


    Samuel could not help butugh. This sum was nothing but a drop in the bucket. She would get a heart


    attack if she knew how much credit he had in his card.


    They arrived at their housing estate. Samuel was parking the car when they ran into Lydia and Godfrey.


    They noticed that he was driving an Audi. This was the car that had been parked beside theirs.


    Here they were, guessing who had bought the car. It turned out to be theirs!


    Lydia stalked toward Yvonne, huffing angrily." Yvonne, did you buy another car?" she asked.


    The secret would have been spilled sooner orter-it was just a matter of time. Yvonne cast Samuel a


    side nce. Then she nodded her head and admitted," Mom, I-"


    "You aren’t afraid that your grandmother will find out, are you? Besides, why did you buy two cars?


    Why are you so insistent on letting him drive such a nice car?" Lydia shot a re at Samuel and

    continued, "Don''t tell me that he begged you to?"


    Yvonne waved her hand. "This has nothing to do with Samuel," she said. "It was my idea."


    Lydia did not believe her. "What drugs did you feed m y daughter?" she asked Samuel. "Do you know


    how severe the consequences of an audit are if Grandmother suspects her? Are you that willing to


    throw Yvonne’s safety away for the sake of your reputation?"


    "Mom, not a word more. Weren’t you two heading out? Go along then," Yvonne said.


    Lydia checked the time; the cinema screening was about to start. Only then did she say, "Wait for me to


    Yvonne released a sigh when her parents left. She gave Samuel a resentful look. "Why didn''t you tell


    them that you bought the car?" she said.


    "Do you think they''ll believe me even if I told them? Besides, I don''t care about what others think.”


    Samuel''s expression was nonchnt. Lydia and Godfrey would never believe him even if he said that h


    e bought both cars. Why should he waste his time and energy?


    For the past three years, Samuel never really cared about how others regarded him. The most


    important thing was how Yvonne regarded him.


    "That''s true.” Exasperation shed across Yvonne''s expression. There was no use telling them the


    truth; they would not believe it anyway.


    Back at home, Samuel asked Yvonne, "Can I go out tonight?” "Will you stay at home if I told you no?”


    she retorted.
