Chapter 1541


    "Knock! Knock!"


    Someone was knocking on the door again.


    Vanessa turned around to open the door. Upon seeing that it was Julien, she heaved a sigh of relief.


    However, the next moment, her heart skipped a beat. There was a sullen look on Julien’ s face. He


    looked extremely displeased.


    Vanessa tried to ster a sweet smile on her face, but even that was masked by the cold aura


    emanated from Julien. She immediately squeezed her way out of the room and pulled him closer,


    asking in a lowered voice, "What''s that look on your face? What’s wrong?"


    Before Julien could speak, Silvia''s voice came from inside the room, "Vanessa,e in, quick!


    Don''t keep me waiting."


    Julien’ s expression darkened even more. There was an icy look on his face. His intense gaze


    made Vanessa feel chills running down her spine. "What’s wrong with you? Just spit it out. Stop


    staring at me like that. You''re making me panic."


    Julien put on his usual cold and detached demeanour, refusing to speak.


    His silence made Vanessa mad. "If there''s nothing else, I''m going back in to rest."


    When she was about to turn and leave, Julien grabbed her wrist, asking, "What are you doing in the


    room with Silvia?"


    "What else could we do besides sleeping?"

    Julien muttered through clenched teeth, "You..."


    Spotting his clenched fists, Vanessa finally caught on to what was happening. She couldn''t help


    laughing and poked him in the chest, "Julien, you are jealous that I''m sleeping with Silvia, aren''t


    you?"


    Being seen through by Vanessa, Julien appeared flustered as he said, "Bring Lawrie out and follow


    me to another room."


    Vanessaughed and said, "Are you really jealous?"


    "Quick."


    "Silvia likes children. Why don’t we let her spend a night with Lawrie?"


    "I don''t feelfortable with that."


    "Why not? Are you afraid that she''ll swallow me whole?" Vanessa said with a grin.


    "So are you not going to carry Lawrie out from there?"


    Vanessa couldn''t believe the tone she heard from his voice.


    It sounded like he was about to throw her off the second floor if she didn''t bring Lawrie out right


    away. "All I''m going to do is to spend a night with Silvia. Why are you being so anxious? I can''t


    imagine what you would do to me if I were to flirt around like you."


    "What do you mean?"


    "She even came to look for me. Are you still thinking that you can hide it from me?"


    "Who was that? What did she tell you?"


    Instead of answering his question, Vanessa said, "Thank you, Julien."


    She was grateful to him for not exposing her even when he found out that she had sold the jewelry


    gifted by him. It had protected her ego. If he had rebuked her back then, she could not imagine how


    far she would''ve gone. She was thankful that he was there for her.


    Julien was puzzled. "What do you mean by that?"


    Vanessa lifted her feet, leaned forward, and pecked him on the lips. Then, she quickly retreated into


    the room while saying, "It''s gettingte, Master Julien. You should go to bed. See you tomorrow!"


    Julien was caught off guard by Vanessa''s sudden kiss. By the time he came back to his senses,


    Vanessa had already slipped back into the room.


    He knew very well that Silvia was just joking around with Vanessa. It was not like anything could


    happen between the two women. However, after losing her once, he had been overly protective of


    Vanessa. Whenever he sensed something amiss, he would be like a cat on hot bricks. At the


    thought of his actions, he couldn''t help finding it ludicrous.


    "Was Julien really worried that I''d eat you up?" Silvia asked the moment Vanessa entered the room.


    "Let''s be real, I would have targeted your son instead of you. Look how adorable Larrie is!"


    Knowing that Silvia was just joking around, Vanessa said with a smile, "Well, all men are petty. Let’s


    be the bigger person and get over it."


    Silvia echoed her words, "That’s true. Men are always petty, especially the Kyles. No one is allowed


    to even look at their wives or girlfriends, as if we only belong to them."


    Even though Silvia sounded like she wasining, the smile on her face grew wider as she


    spoke. In the end, she burst intoughter. Despite being over- possessive, Jayden did treat her very


    well. He had always been thoughtful and sensitive to her needs. As long as it was within his


    capabilities, he would do anything for her.


    Therefore, she was thankful that she was blessed with so much. Although she could no longer bear


    children, she was given a good husband.


    It was just the first time Silvia and Vanessa met each other, but they did not feel like strangers at all.


    They found they had a lot inmon. As a result, they had chatted tillte at night. When they


    woke up the next morning, there were dark circles under their eyes.


    Everyone in the Kyle family had regr daily routines. Early in the morning, everyone could be seen


    coming down for breakfast. The atmosphere around the dining table was very warm.


    At the same time, the Spencers were also gathered at their home. However, the atmosphere was


    very tense.


    After leaving Secret Garden the night before, Faye had gone home without Yvette. She thought


    Yvette would hail a taxi back. However, after staying up the whole night, Yvette was nowhere to be


    seen. At the break of dawn, Faye could no longer sit still. "Sebastian, I think you should call Yvette


    and ask her where she is. How could she note home for the whole night? Doesn''t she know


    that we''d be worried?"


    At home, Sebastian always listened to Faye. He immediately picked up his phone and called Yvette.


    However, he was greeted by a mechanical voice, "The number you have dialed has been turned off.


    Please call backter."


    Sebastian looked at Faye and informed her, "Her phone is switched off."


    Unable to contact Yvette, Faye flew into a panic. She grabbed her coat and made her way toward


    the door. "Where are you going?" Sebastian asked, grabbing her wrist.


    "Where else can I go?" Faye was clearly flustered. "Call Fynn now and tell him to look around for


    Yvette. If he fails to find her, tell him never toe back."


    "Alright, I''ll ask him to look for her right away. Please calm down, Faye."


    Faye broke free from Sebastian’s grip and walked toward the door. When she pulled the door open,


    she saw someone standing outside. It was her daughter, Yvette.


    "No, no, no..." Faye refused to acknowledge the situation. She was so frightened by what she saw


    that she took a few steps backward. Yvette was in a mess. Her clothes and hair were disheveled.


    Besides, there were scratches all over her face and neck. Anyone who saw her could tell what had


    happened to her.


    "What''s wrong?" Sebastian asked while walking over. When he caught sight of Yvette, his heart


    sank. "Get in first, Yvette."


    Yvette stepped into the house and stared at Faye with utter despite. "I''ve been defiled... So, are you


    finally satisfied?"
