Chapter 376


    "You haven''t changed a bit after four years. You are meaner than ever," Yvette said with a bitter


    expression. "Do you really think I am going to believe a scheming woman like you?"


    "It is okay if you don''t believe me. How about we make an agreement?" A dim light shed in


    Summer''s eyes.


    "What are you trying to pull here?"


    Summer snickered. "What can I do under your nose when you are so influential in Santabaca? You will


    find what I am going to propose irresistible."


    "I am all ears." Yvette looked at her warily.


    "If you can convince your son to give up Charlotte''s custody, I will bring Charlotte to leave Santabaca


    for good, and I will never appear in front of the Valentine family again. What do you say?"


    Summers'' calction was that Yvette could be a strategic piece of chess.

    Yvette looked at Summer for several seconds. "Why should I trust you? I will trust anyone but you," she


    said coldly.


    She could not agree to Summer''s proposal for two reasons. The first was that she had no clue of what


    was on Summer’s mind, or rather, what she was


    scheming.


    And the second reason was that she knew Mark liked this child. She could not imagine what would be


    Mark’s reaction if he found out that she was working with Summer.


    "Besides, the Valentine family can afford to raise even dozens of children, let alone one. If Mark wants


    it, we will support the child. It isn''t even a problem." She paused, fiddling with her red polished nails


    before she continued her sarcasm.


    "Charlotte is the child of the Valentines and part of the family. But you are not, and you don''t even think


    about it. You could get to Mark four years ago only because Baine was in Athana. But it won’t be long


    before Baine will return. Oh, yeah, I almost forgot to tell you, Baine has canceled her engagement with


    her fiance, and she and Mark will get engaged and married when she is back."


    They would get engaged and married when Baine was back?


    But that was none of her business.


    Her hands were involuntarily clenched together on her sides, but she maintained a nonchnt smile on


    her face when she looked at Yvette.


    Yvette had got no clue about what her expression meant, especially that smile hanging on her lips. It


    was irritating. "What are youughing at?" Yvette asked.


    "Nothing. I justughed at your boring life. Four years ago, you tried all means to separate them. Four


    yearster, you are happy to see them get engaged. What is the point? You must have too much free


    time in your hands."


    "You-" Yvette was pissed, ring at Summer, her chest heaving in anger.


    "Do you really think I am fond of being part of the Valentine family? I used to be part of the family. But


    you couldn’t even afford to pay the alimony when we divorced. Do you really think I am keen to be part


    of it again?" Summer snickered. "Oh, yeah, I almost forgot; you tore the check. I knew you couldn’t


    afford it, but you didn''t have to embarrass yourself like that."


    Yvette’s face turned pale. She was in anger. She lost every time she argued with Summer. She was


    always being ridiculed.


    "Very well. You''d better remember what you said today, and I hope you won’t end up bing a


    mistress of someone."


    As young as Charlotte might be, she knew that Granny and her mom were arguing with each other.


    She was not too happy when she heard Granny was calling her mom a mistress. She red at Yvette.


    "Old Hag, don''t scold my Mommy!"


    Charlotte liked Yvettest time. But now she disliked her because Yvette called her mom a mistress.
