    By the way, Wie, you’ve been back in habilite for a few days now. Tonight, we’re having dinner at


    Murray Estate, so you shoulde meet Alex, Yara said warmly.


    Wette blinked, and she answered nonchntly, “Alright.”


    “Thave a business engagement tonight, so I can’t join you guys. Yara, you’ll have to take the kids to


    Murray Estate,” Irwin said while parring her hand gentl


    His eves were filled with tendemess. “If you feel unwell at any point, call me immediately.”


    “Alright, alright, don’t act so lovey dovey in front of the kids!” Yata scolded Irwin yfully, though her


    eyes were filled with joy as she nced at him


    Wette couldn’t help but smile seeing them so harmonious.


    However, Yasmin nced around with a hint of malice in her eyes.


    Alex always doted on her the most. Tonight, she would ensure he taught Yvette a lesson for all the


    humiliation she had endured recently.


    By evening, they arrived at Murray Estate.


    “Wee Mr. Murray Senior has been waiting for you all,” a housekeeper said, leading them


    toward the hall.


    Yvette, Grandpa is quite strict. If he says anything that upsets you, just ignore him. I’ll stand up for


    you,” Sean whispered in Yvette’s ear.


    Wette was touched by Sean’s thoughtfulness and smiled at him.


    Yasmim’s jealousy grew atter seeing their interaction. “Haph, smile while you can,” she thought.


    Soon, she’d make sure Yvette wouldn’t be able to smile anymore.


    The dining table was set. Alex, a stem–looking man in his sixties, sat at the head of the table. His


    sharp gaze suggested he wasn’t easy to get along with.


    “Grandpa, we’vee to see you!” Yasmin beamed as she walked over to him.


    Alex’s expression softened slightly. He said meaningfully, “Yasmin, seeing you look much thinner


    than before breaks my heart. Has someone been mistreating you””


    Yasmin had alreadyined to Alex over the phone by exaggerating her woes Now, hearing his


    concern, she let a hint of grievance show but quickly shook her head.


    “No, Grandpa. No one’s mistreating me. I’m doing just fine,” she replied.


    Seusing the tension, Yara quickly stepped forward. She exined, “Alex, Irwin and I treat Yasmin


    like our own daughter. We’d never let her


    “That may have been true before,” Alex said as his disapproving gazended on Yvette. He


    snorted. “But things are different now.”


    Yvette met his eyes without flinching. Her calm gaze was confident and unwavering,


    In the end, Alex looked away first, flustered How could Yvette have such a strong presence?

    “Are you alright, Grandpa?” Yasmin quickly supported Alex, and her concem was evident.


    Alex’s face darkened as he waved her ott. He lowered his voice, saying, “I’m fine, don’t worry.


    Anyone who bullies you will be dealt with.”


    Hearing this, Yasmin’s face lit up with a sing smile. She couldn’t wait to see that bitch, Yvette get


    what she deserved.


    “Alright, everyone. Let’s sit and eat,” Alex said.


    “Yes, Alex” Yara nodded and gestured for everyone to take their seats. “Come on, let’s eat,”
