Yvette smiled: “It’s worth it to exchange my life for yours, Ms. Zelnik.” Gemma didn’t expect her to have the guts to do something like this.
“Yvette, isn’t your child alive and well? If something happens to you, who will take care of him?” Gemma was not afraid of death; she had already died once. However, she didn’t want to die now; she still wanted to find her daughter, whom she had never met. As Yvette exerted a little more force, the dagger pierced Gemma’s skin.
She slowly said, “The Lane family will take care of him. My death will not affect him at all.”
Gemma’s eyebrows were sweaty from the pain. She didn’t expect that the woman in front of her would dare to come alone to take revenge.
Yvette didn’t really want to kill her. After all, she still had to take care of Zachary and Noah. However, as a mother, she had to keep her children safe.
She drew back the knife.
“Ms. Zelnik, I’m teaching you a lesson. You are not wrong for protecting your daughter, but not at the expense of laying your hands on my son.
“If this happens again… I’m the type of person who can let go of everything. I will never forgive you.”
After the warning, Yvette threw the knife into the trash can on the side and walked away briskly.
It had been a long time since Gemma had been threatened like this. She put her hand on her lower abdomen before looking at the blood on her palm with cold eyes. At this moment, she was sure that her daughter was no match for Yvette.
Although Zoey was also ruthless, she was afraid to die. Gemma could tell that Yvette was not scared of that at all. If Yvette was pushed to the edge, it would be a disaster.
From where he was sitting in the car, Ray had seen everything that had just happened.
He always thought that Yvette was a woman who needed protection. This, however, was the first time he found her so brave.
After all, Gemma’s professional bodyguards were not weak by any means. If they had noticed what Yvette had done, she would have died miserably.
Now that Yvette had finally vented her anger, she sat back in the car. Ray started the car. On the way back, Yvette received a call from Xavier.
“Where are you?” Xavier hadn’t gotten off work yet. He had heard from Mark that it was Valentine’s Day.
“Outside. I’ll be back soon.” Yvette said.
Outside? Xavier instinctively thought she went on a date with Aaron again. But it was Valentine’s Day today! “Send me your location; I’ll pick you up right away.”
“No need. Ray will drive me back.”
It was always Ray or Aaron…
Xavier asked Mark to locate Yvette’s phone directly. After he took a look, he noted that Yvette was not far away.

Xavier sent a text to Yvette, asking her to wait where she was because he had plans with her.
Seeing the message, Yvette had no choice but to let Ray go back first. She got out of the car by herself, waiting outside a store.
Not long after, Xavier’s car arrived. Mark even helped him take a look around, only to see no signs of a man anywhere near Yvette.
After Xavier got out of the car, Mark informed Yvette, “Mrs. Lane, I’ll leave Mr. Lane to you. I’m clocking out as I have something to attend too
He wanted to be with his fiancée.

Confused, Yvette looked back at Xavier beside her. “You said something’s up. What is it?”
“It’s Valentine’s Day. I want to have dinner with you privately.” Xavier said. Valentine’s Day?
Yvette had never celebrated this kind of celebration before, and she didn’t care much about it. She only realized it was Valentine’s Day when

“Let’s not. There’s nothing special about Valentine’s Day,” she
uttered.
The things she couldn’t get before didn’t feel all that important anymore now.
