Chapter 329
Cedric pushed down the doubts in his heart. He bowed respectfully. “Mr. Harper, the woman from Clusia who beat up Mr. Jenkins and Mr. Hart yesterday is definitely named Yvette. There’s no mistake about it. Even though we can’t find a clear picture of her face, the name is absolutely right. Is there an issue? Do you know this woman?”
Kaiden’s face turned cold, his body involuntarily trembling. The name instantly put him on edge, bringing back a flood of memories.
In the hallway, Kaiden’s sinister face was hidden in the shadow, looming in the light.
He still refused to mention this name. Yvette was his nightmare and a shadow that lingered over his life. She was the one who had ruthlessly chopped off his pinky finger.
He would never forget her stunning yet expressionless face and icy eyes in his lifetime.
Seeing Kaiden freeze in place with a horrified look, Cedric didn’t dare say a word, only stepping to the side quietly, wondering, ‘Who exactly is Yvette? How could she make Mr. Harper, who is always so collected, panic?‘
After a while, Kaiden snapped out of his memories. He moved his fingers slightly. Surrounded by a gloomy aura, he held back his inner fear and said, “Go check again. Is that woman still in Betrico? I want the information on her to be as detailed as possible.”
Cedric said, “I’ll do it right away, Mr. Harper.”
After Kaiden returned to his hotel room, he paced back and forth anxiously. He suddenly had a bad feeling, thinking, ‘What if this woman really is Ms. Zeller? Why did she show up in Betrico after disappearing for so many years? And why did she suddenly hit Robin and Malcolm and get involved in the conflict between Clusia and Ybaulla? But it is like her style. Only Ms. Zeller has such confidence.‘
Kaiden had a nagging feeling that something would go wrong at the competition. Yvette’s presence gave him a strong and unsettling premonition.
Kaiden clenched his teeth, pulled out his phone, and made a call to someone in Mysonna. If Yvette really showed up, Braydon would surely be more eager than anyone else to see her.
The call connected. The man’s voice on the other end was cold. “Got something to say?”
Kaiden felt a sudden chill down his spine. He had heard this voice for three years while they lived together at the training camp. After he returned to Ybaulla, they only spoke with each other when they had business to discuss.
Braydon seemed lifeless when interacting with anyone, only showing signs of liveliness around Yvette.
Kaiden tried hard to calm down, but the urgency in his voice gave him away. “Mr. Goodman, have you seen the news in the past couple of days? Do you know Ms. Zeller appeared in Betrico?”
Braydon stopped for a moment. His voice became even more somber than before. “I saw it.”
Now it was Kaiden’s turn to go silent. He thought, ‘Braydon used to go crazy at the mention of Yvette’s name. Why is he so composed now? Could he have fallen for someone else? But that seems unlikely. Everyone in the training camp has experienced Braydon’s obsessiveness. Getting him to change his goal? Only when hell freezes over.
Of course, Kaiden didn’t know that Braydon was utterly swamped. Ever since Damian returned, the underground world in Mysonna hadn’t had a moment of peace. Damian was very influential.
To counteract his formidable grandfather, Braydon used up almost all his energy. He couldn’t even find the time to see Yvette.
Kaiden continued, “Ms. Zeller is also an Interpol officer. Do you know that?”
In the study of the Goodman residence in Mysonna, the lights were off. Only the faint glow from the computer shone on Braydon’s handsome face and the charming scar between his brows.
On the table in front of him were all the newspapers from the last two days, and on the computer was a shadowy image of Yvette’s back.
Hearing Kaiden’s words, Braydon stared intensely at the image on the computer screen. A slight smile appeared on his lips. His voice was as cold as he said, “I know.”
Hearing Braydon’s words, Kaiden tightened his grip on the phone, thinking, ‘Braydon know about Yvette’s identity. Doesn’t he understand how terrifying that identity is? How can he still be so calm?”
Kaiden asked, “Mr. Goodman, do you know why Ms. Zeller is in Betrico?”
This is what Kaiden was concerned about. He was fully aware of who taught him fencing. If Yvette decided to interfere in the fencing competition, he would stand no chance of winning. He had to find out why Yvette was here. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to relax for even a moment.
Braydon stared at the photo, his eyes filled with wild intensity and deep infatuation. He yelled angrily on the phone, “A guy tricked her into going to Betrico. Yvette is just having a fling with him. She’ll come back to me sooner or later. That guy deceived her.” After yelling, Braydon threw the phone at the wall, shattering it instantly.
Kaiden stared blankly at the phone, thinking, ‘What did Braydon say? Is he losing it? He claimed that Ms. Zeller was tricked by a guy? That’s absolutely impossible. If anyone did the tricking, it must have been Ms. Zeller. But that’s impossible too. Ms. Zeller will never fall in love!’
Then Kaiden pondered again, ‘Given Braydon’s obsession and possessiveness towards Yvette, if it weren’t true, he wouldn’t have said something like that. So, it might really be true. Did Ms. Zeller really come to Betrico for a man? Even if that’s the case, it might not be a bad thing. It suggests Ms. Zeller didn’t intentionally get involved in the incident at the café yesterday. It was probably just a coincidence, making it less of a hassle and nothing to worry about.‘
Suddenly, Kaiden remembered that Robin was still at Betrico Hospital. He decided to probe Robin, thinking this person might know a bit more about the situation. Kaiden immediately shouted to the bodyguards at the door, “Get the car ready We’re heading to Betrico Hospital!”NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.
At Betrico Hospital, Robin was wrapped up like a mummy, only his eyes revealed. His legs and shoulders were all dislocated by Yvette. He also had gunshot wounds. He lost so much blood that he was going into shock when sent to the hospital. Fortunately, Betrico Hospital’s director personally gave him surgery to save his life. It could be seen how hard Yvette beat him.
Malcolm’s situation was even worse. The bullet had been in his body for too long. Thus, after it was finally removed, he was left with lasting issues. Half of his body couldn’t exert normal strength, making heavy lifting impossible for him. He was now a shell of his former self.
When Kaiden arrived, Robin was writhing in pain on the hospital bed. He didn’t trust the doctors at Betrico Hospital at all and refused any treatment unless doctors from Ybaulla flew over to diagnose him personally.
The doctors at Betrico Hospital weren’t about to indulge him. They figured if he didn’t trust them, he could just suffer.
