GoodNovelChapter 227
As Hunter left, Irene and Yvette fixated on Yasmine's retreating figure. No matter how hard they tried, they
couldn't comprehend how they'd been completely outmaneuvered.
"You can't leave!" As Yasmine and Morgan were about to make their exit, Irene called out loudly, "Yasmine!"
"I'm not sure what else Ms. White wants to discuss. The auction is over," Yasmine stated.
"I don't need you to remind me, | know the auction's over. What | didn't expect was how deep your scheming
runs. I'm impressed you could spinaround like this. But I'm curious, who told you about Misty Evergreen Isle?
Was it Yonas?" Irene glanced softly at Yonas beside her.
In all of Soucrity, aside from Yonas, no one else could access such confidential documents. How Hunter got them
was a mystery, but Irene was sure that the intel Yasmine held cfrom Yonas.
Yasmine chuckled self-mockingly, "Ms. White, are you askingor interrogating me? Besides, why should | tell
you?" She pierced through the crowd with her gaze, locking onto Yvette, and uttered a meaningful line, "Ms.
Grant, happy cooperation."
Irene suddenly glanced at Yvette, and Xavier furrowed his brows as he looked at her, too. Just when she was
about to ask Yasmine something, she realized that Yasmine had already left with Lucy and Morgan. Irene looked
at Yonas, "Yonas, | have something to ask you, Yvette, you can go ahead, no need to wait for me." She paused
before also addressing Xavier, "Mr. Flynn, may | have a word with your wife?" "Xavier, don't..." Yvette cautiously
held onto Xavier's hand, sensing the dangerous vibe coming from Irene, making her want to flee. To her surprise,
Xavier simply shook off her hand and walked out of the venue.

The auction had only ended fifteen minutes ago, yet the venue was empty, except for Yvette and Irene. Yvette
swallowed nervously, staring anxiously at Irene, "Ms. White, what do you want to talk about?"
"You betrayed me?" Irene squinted her eyes. Yvette nervously stepped back, while Irene kept closing the gap
between them, slowly cornering Yvette.
Just as Yvette was trying to evade, Irene suddenly lifted her hand and slapped her hard. The crisp sound echoed,
and Yvette's cheek burned with pain. She held her face in disbelief, staring at the cold expression on Irene's face
as tears fell down her cheeks. "You hit me? How dare you hit me?"
"Why wouldn't | dare hit you? You teamed up with that witch to harm me! Do abandoned island? Can you
compensate for my loss?" Irene finally ripped off her mask of pretense.
you know how much | paid for that
Yvette shook her head in pain, feeling the swelling on her cheek which might already be puffy. "I didn't decide to
bid on Crescent Isle, you did that yourself! That day, Yasmine toldeverything, and | passed it all on to you
without hiding anything. I'm a victim here too! | was forced to buy Emerald Isle and Xavier is already very upset
with me." The thought of Xavier's earlier look made Yvette uneasy.
"Yvette, have you forgotten what I've got over you? This isn't over today. Do you think Yasmine has evidence that
| don't? Mine is way more complete than hers!" Irene declared.
"What do you want?" Yvette asked, eyes
wide open.
Irene chuckled coldly. "Perpetrators harming others should always pay the price, don't you agree?"
"You wantto take the blfor you?" Yvette's forehead was covered in cold sweat. How could she have
forgotten? That day, she didn't just relay what Yasmine had said to Irene, but also revealed all the evidence
Yasmine had shown her. Irene must have known Yasmine was starting to act against her. In such a critical
moment, the only way to escape unscathed was to push out a scapegoat, just like the tshe rescued Helen.

Irene chuckled softly, "Yvette, are you having a memory lapse? What do you mean by taking the blfor me?
You were the one breaking the law from the start. You planned everything from the beginning to the end. | knew
nothing about it." ""You!" Yvette was shocked.
"Yvette, be a good scapegoat for me," Irene said, maintaining her graceful smile as she calmly exited the venue.
Yvette walked into the parking lot. Xavier's face was grim. He only spoke once she got into the car, "Do you
know about the Misty Evergreen Isle situation?" Yvette's heart sank. She never imagined that the person she
relied on the, most would also doubt her. Yvette spoke helplessly, "I don't know. From the beginning, Yasmine told
"What did Irene tell you?" Xavier asked.

Yvette's heart skipped a beat. "Xavier, you have to save me." Before she could even get the words out, her eyes
welled up with tears. "I didn't tell you everything that day. It waswho drove Helen's car, but Irene was the
one who planned it all. | was confused, thinking you still had feelings for Yasmine. But | swear, | didn't cup
with the idea. Yasmine found evidence proving that it wasin the villa that day, not Helen."
"So, are you saying that Irene wants you to take the fall now?"
"Yes! | have no idea how things got this bad! But you have to help me, for the sake of the child, please!" Yvette
sobbed, tears streaming down her face. If Xavier refused to help, she would go to Selena, because Selena would
surely help her.
Xavier drove in silence, casting a cold glance at Yvette. "If you hadn't brought this upon yourself, none of this
would have happened. Helen tried to kill herself and is still in the hospital because of this child." Helen was his
sister, after all. This time, she wasn't responsible, yet she was being forced to take the blame.
"What are you saying? Are you going to abandon me, Xavier? Take a good look, the baby I'm carrying is yours!
Could you really bear to let him be born in prison?" Yvette cried out, her voice sharp.
"We'll talk about it at home," Xavier said, feeling like his head was about to explode. He didn't want to deal with
this anymore. First, it was Helen, and now it's Yvette; there wasn't a single person at hwho could give him
speace.
But it was too late... Xavier and Yvette had just gotten hand hadn't even sat down when police cars arrived
at the Flynn residence. Selena, shocked, quickly shut the door and hurriedly helped Yvette into the basement.
"Yvette, hide, don't cout," she urged. Xavier watched Selena's actions unfazed. "It's useless," he said softly.
The door swung open, and several police officers entered, getting straight to the point, "Where's Yvette?"
