A Rose 299


    At Murray Manor, as soon as Yvette neared the gates, two people ran toward her.


    “Yvie…”


    Yvette quickly stepped back, avoiding them as they tried to grab her.


    Tyler and Amy, once proud and wealthy, now looked like beggars. They were wearing old, dirty


    clothes. “Yvie, we’ve been searching for you all day!” Tyler said with a fake smile. “We just wanted


    to see you!” “Yeah, yeah!” Amy added, looking desperate. “We haven’t eaten all day. Could you let


    us in? The guards wouldn’t let us in, even though we said we’re your adoptive parents! You really


    need to do something about those rude guards!”


    Tyler’s small business quickly went bankrupt because the Murray family put pressure on them, and


    Jake sabotaged their efforts. Lynda also ended up in jail for using stolen designs.


    Unable to pay the huge debts, they had to sell their house and everything else they owned just to


    cover what they owed.


    Now, they werepletely broke, living on the streets, and in worse shape than beggars.


    After not eating for three days, Tyler and Amy were searching through the trash for food. They


    finally found out where Murray Manor was and rushed over to find Yvette.


    Amy, looking dirty and desperate, said, “Yvie, those guards were so unfair. You really need to do


    something about them!”


    Hearing their shameless words, Yvette smirked. “Why do you think I should help you?”


    “Oh, Yvie!” Amy cried out dramatically. “We were family once! You can’t just ignore us now that


    we’re in


    trouble!”


    “That’s right!” Tyler added, sounding overly apologetic. “We made mistakes, but we’re sorry. Please,


    we’re counting on you. If you don’t help us, we’ll end up starving!”


    “Yvie, you can’t just let us suffer!” Amy pleaded.


    Yvette’s face stayed cold. “Why should I care what happens to you?”


    Tyler and Amy looked worried. “Yvie, we know we were wrong. We shouldn’t have kicked you out or


    stolen. your designs. We’re really sorry. Please forgive us!”


    “Yes, please! We’re family. You can’t just watch us starve. You wouldn’t be that heartless would


    you…”


    Amy and Tyler tried to make Yvette feel sorry for them, but she didn’t even look at them. Her voice


    was


    cold and clear.


    I would.”


    “Why you…”


    When Yvette didn’t react, Amy dropped the act and shouted angrily.

    “Yvette, it’s your fault we’re in this mess. If you hadn’t exposed us for stealing your design ns, we


    wouldn’t have lost all those contracts and ended up so deep in debt. You need to fix this!”


    “That’s right!” Tyler chimed in, showing his true colors. You owe us money for ruining our lives.


    You’re rich. now, so giving us a few million should be easy. Just pay us, and we’ll leave you alone!


    Yara and Irwin had just returned from a walk when they overheard their conversation. Yara, still


    weak from her illness, was furious. She stormed over and started kicking them.


    “How dare youe here and bully my daughter!” Yara was red with anger. “I haven’t even dealt


    with you yet, and now youe right to my doorstep….”
