Chapter 4


    Yvette thought of Wilson’s charming and seductive smile. Her longshes fluttered slightly as her


    slender finger tapped on the prompt to ept his request.


    “Stay safe on your way back. Let me know when you get home,” came his message.


    Yvette didn’t reply, her expression unchanged as she put her phone back into her pocket.


    Inside the car, Wilson nced at the message he sent her that was left on read.


    He wore a captivating smile as he thought of Yvette as quite the aloof person.


    Samuel watched that scene from the rearview mirror. His thoughts were racing as he finally


    understood what happened.


    The reason Wilson yed along with that girl’s act was to get her contact information.


    He realized that Wilson was cunning for tricking an innocent girl like that! That said, Samuel had


    never seen Wilson that interested in anyone before. Could it be that he had taken a liking to that


    girl?


    The more he thought about it, the more convinced he was.


    That girl looked barely 18, and Wilson said he wouldn’t act like a monster!


    It was aplete turnabout, an ironic p in the face.


    …


    The next morning, Yvette heard a sweet and coy voiceing from downstairs as soon as she


    stepped out of her bedroom.


    “Uncle Irwin, Aunt Yara, it’s already sote. Why hasn’t Yvie woken up yet?”


    The girl continued, “Yvie must be sleeping soundly. I was worried she wouldn’t be able to rest well in


    a new environment, but it seems she’s adapting to it just fine!”


    The sarcasm in her tone was obvious. Yvette smirked and began walking down the stairs with her


    long legs.


    “I specifically told everyone not to disturb Yvie. She just returned yesterday, and there’s no harm in


    letting her rest a bit longer,” Yara spoke gently.


    When she saw Yvieing down the stairs, her pale face lit up with a radiant smile.


    “Yvie, you’re awake! Come with me. I don’t know what’s your favorite food, so I had the kitchen


    prepare a little of everything. Try them out and see which ones you like!”


    Irwin quickly joined in, his voice filled with warmth. “That’s right, Yvie. Sit down and let’s have


    breakfast!”


    Their attention was entirely on Yvette. Yasmin, who was standing nearby, was left ignored.


    Upon seeing Yara and Irwin showering Yvette with affection, a sh of jealousy crossed Yasmin’s


    eyes.


    Yasmin was a rtive of the family. After her parents passed away, Yara and Irwin raised and


    treated her like their own daughter.


    With Yvette out of the picture until recently, Yasmin had five older brother figures who loved her,


    making her the center of everyone’s attention.


    But now that Yvette was back, she had stolen Yara and Irwin’s affection from Yasmin. Soon, Yvette


    would be taking her brothers’ love away from her too.


    Yasmin would no longer be the only one doted on in the family!


    Yasmin bit her lip in resentment, wishing that Yvette had never been found and never returned to


    take what was Yasmin’s in the first ce.


    She forced down her jealousy and spoke warmly, “Wee home, Yvie. You must have had a


    tough time all these years.”


    Upon hearing her voice, Yara and Irwin remembered Yasmin’s presence and quickly introduced her


    to Yvette.


    “This is your cousin, Yasmin.” As Yvette’s porcin-like face met her gaze, Yasmin’s envy


    deepened, though she maintained her innocent facade.


    Yasmin spoke sweetly, “Yvie, I actually nned to pick you up with Larry yesterday. But Grandpa


    wasn’t feeling well, so I stayed back to take care of him. Please don’t be mad at me for not showing


    up, okay?”


    In truth, Alex Murray wasn’t actually unwell. Yasmin just used him as an excuse to avoid picking the


    country girl up!


    Yara assured, “Don’t worry, Yasmin. Yvie won’t be mad at you!”


    “If that’s the case, then thank goodness!” Yasmin forced a smile and extended her hand to Yvette. “I


    hope we can get along in the future!”


    “Yeah,” Yvette responded while ncing at her hand coldly.


    Yasmin’s expression stiffened slightly, feeling a twinge of embarrassment as she withdrew her hand,


    her gaze turning even more hostile.


    How dare this country girl who just returned embarrass her like that!


    Yara and Irwin remained oblivious to this subtle tension, carrying on with their cheerful banter.


    “Alright, alright, enough talking. Sit down and have breakfast, Yvie. Make sure you eat until you’re


    full!”

    “That’s right, Yvie. Let Dad peel the eggshells for you!”


    As their focus once again centered on Yvette, Yasmin’s eyes flickered. She seized the opportunity


    to get their attention.


    “Oh yeah, I have some good news, Uncle Irwin and Aunt Yara. I won first ce in the piano


    competition!”


    With Yasmin’s announcement, Yara and Irwin redirected some of their attention to her, offering


    praises alongside smiles. “First ce? That’s fantastic, Yasmin!”


    “I heard thepetition was tough this year. Winning first ce truly proves your talent, Yasmin.


    Who knows, you might even be a world-renowned pianist like Mischa Rachmaninoff


    someday!”


    Yasmin nced at Yvette with a smug expression.


    Yvette couldn’t help but respond with a puzzled look of her own. In truth, the participants in this


    year’s pianopetition were quite mediocre, so winning first ce wasn’t such a big deal. The


    difficulty of bing a world-famous pianist was much greater.


    As Yasmin listened to the praise, the smugness remained fixed on her face.


    “Oh! By the way, do you y the piano, Yvie?”


    At that moment, Yasmin seemed to realize she’d made a mistake as a hint of guilt appeared on her


    face.


    “I’m sorry, Yvie. I forgot that you grew up in the countryside, so you probably haven’t even seen a


    piano, let alone yed one.”


    Upon hearing this, Yara and Irwin felt like Yasmin’s words sounded somewhat boastful, but they


    assumed they were overthinking it.


    Yasmin was a kind and good-natured child; surely she didn’t mean it that way!


    They also thought that if Yvette hadn’t been taken away back then, she would definitely have


    learned to y the piano as well.


    The thought of that made Yara and Irwin feel even more guilty. As such, they had to shower Yvette


    with even more love to make up for all the hardships she had endured all these years.


    “It’s okay, Yvie. If you like the piano, Mom and Dad will hire the best teacher for you!”


    “There’s no need for that,” Yvette replied in a nonchnt tone, rejecting their offer. Who would they


    even hire as her teacher?


    Yasmin’s smugness intensified after this exchange. She believed that Yvette wouldn’t stand a


    chance of learning the piano even if she was taught by the best teacher ever.


    There was noparison between them.


    She started, “It’s okay if you don’t know how to y the piano, Yvie. I can teach you in the future, so


    you don’t have to feel bad…”


    “Who said I can’t y the piano?”


    Yasmin immediately burst into a fit ofughter. It was hrious! She did not believe that Yvette, the


    country girl, dared to im she could y the piano. It was simply ridiculous.


    “So, you can actually y the piano, Yvie?” Yasmin smiled, but her tone carried a hint of


    provocation. “Then why don’t you y something for us?
