Chapter 473
As a teenager, I used to always run to my mother’s room and sob whenever I was bullied ruthlessly by
Crystal and Yvette. And I would always take advantage of my father’s good mood to question him
about my mother’s whereabouts. Despite that, he would often fly into a rage and p me across the
face. Gradually, I stopped asking him.
“I’m a grown-up now, Dad. You said it yourself before that once I be an adult, then I don’t need
your care and concern anymore.” After saying that, I took a long deep breath. It waste summer, and
the air was warm and humid. However, I somehow felt chilled to the bones.
Nathan’s face darkened at my remark. He opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but no
words came out of his mouth. There was no remorse on his face, only calmness.
“You’ve grown up indeed, Yvonne. I can’t tell you what to do anymore.”
“You’re wrong again, Dad. How can I pretend I didn’t see it when you’ve already said so?” In the end, I
couldn’t ignore his opinion.
When Christopher returned, I told him about the conversation I had with my father. There was a weird
expression on his face as I recounted the conversation. All the while, he kept sighing at me as though
he was at a loss of what to say.
“I’m a fool, ain’t I? Is that why you have nothing to say to me?” I asked as I scratched the back of my
head. Not waiting for him to reply, I leaned over and wrapped my arms around his waist, and rested my
head on his back. “I often think of myself as a fool. You were the only one who came to see me when I
was in prison. None of my family members were there for me. He brought up the news about my
mother, and I couldn’t refuse him.”
“He told you about it?” Christopher asked as he tapped the tip of my nose lightly with his finger.
“I didn’t agree to his terms.” The truth is, I’m a little surprised by all this myself. I said with a wry smile,
“Chris, maybe I don’t miss her as much as I thought I would. So what if I know about her whereabouts?
Am I supposed to go and find her? It’s been so many years, and she would have started a new family
of her own. She probably had forgotten about me.”
“Well, that sounds reasonable. You should think of a way to win over my mother. I promise you, once
you’ve won her over, she’ll shower you with love and warmth. You’ll love her to bits,” Christopher said
earnestly and went on to speak highly of Julia.
ording to Christopher, Julia would rouse them every morning and serve them breakfast. And
instead of having high tea with her wealthy friends during her spare time, she would stay home and
y onlineputer games with them.
I couldn’t imagine Julia as someone with such high levels of motherly affection, partly because she
always seemed like a snobbish woman with a sessful career.
“Alright, I’ll try my best,” I said with a shrug. “Don’t put so much hope on me. I don’t expect her to
shower me with love, but I’ll be more than happy if she treats me the same way she treats Shelley.”

I could always rely on Christopher to do his best to take care of things for me. The next day, he went to
inquire about thewsuit against Crystal. Once he had the information in hand, he called me to ry
the news.
ording to Christopher, things had gotten out of hand for Crystal. She had be the talk of the
town, and many of her fans had grown to hate her. And since she had a high-profile career, it was
impossible to deal with the matter discreetly.
I was surprised to see that even Christopher thought that this was a critical problem at hand. Feeling
stumped, I asked, “What are we going to do now?”
“Silly woman. There’s nothing that money can’t solve. Well, all it takes is to pay those who sued Crystal
so that they will drop charges against her. Leave it to your father to deal with that. If he can’t even
handle that, then I have nothing else to say,” Christopher said and chuckled over the phone.
“What if money can’t solve this? You have to know, some artists regard their artwork more valuable
than their own lives.”
“If that’s the case, then too bad. That will serve her right.”
