Rebirth In Divorce: My New Mr. Perfect by Henry Foster

Chapter 228

Selena quickly shook her head. "She's not home, please leave."

"Mrs. Flynn, we've checked the surveillance on all the roads. Yvette and Mr. Flynn went straight hfrom the

auction. Please cooperate with our work," the officers said. "What do you want with her?" Selena asked.

"She's suspected of inciting a crand needs to be taken back for investigation," an officer said sternly.

Selena calmly stated, "That's impossible; someone must be framing her."

"Mrs. Flynn, without evidence or a warrant, we wouldn't be here. Please cooperate with our investigation," the

officer insisted.

As Selena tried to argue, Xavier had already opened the entrance to the basement. "Yvette is right here," he

said. The police exchanged glances and hurried down to catch her.

When Yvette was brought out, her face was pale, and her shoulders were trembling. She tried to grab Xavier,

"Xavier, save me!" But Xavier watched her coldly the entire time, "Tell them everything you know."

Yvette realized Xavier wouldn't save her anymore. She looked towards Selena in pain, "Mom, help me!"

Selena hurried over, looking at Yvette, she said, "Be careful with her, she's pregnant. Can you take responsibility

if anything happens?"

As they stepped out the door, Yvette suddenly stopped, "My stomach hurts!"

Xavier frowned deeply and quickly pushed others aside to hold Yvette. "What's going on?" he asked.

"Xavier, help me, my stomach hurts," Yvette said, looking deathly pale, as if she could faint at any moment.

The police exchanged looks, "Take her to the hospital."

On the way back, Yasmine hit the play button, filling the car with upbeat music. Lucy, sitting in the back seat,

danced happily. "I didn't expect things to go so smoothly today. | thought there would be a bunch, and of people

competing withfor Misty Evergreen Isle. Yasmine was spot on; those people had no idea. You should've seen

it, once the auction ended and | cto you, Yvette's face, Hunter's face, and even Irene's were all green with

envy."

Yasmine chuckled, "Thanks to you, Lucy. How about grabbing sfood together? Let's have Morgan treat us

today. | even brought my Paragon Hotel membership card. Let's head over there."

Thinking about going to the Paragon Hotel made Lucy's cheeks blush. She quieted down and secretly pulled out

a compact mirror from her bag.

Half an hour later, the car stopped at the Paragon Hotel entrance. The valet took it to park, and after Yasmine

pulled out her membership card, they were personally attended to by the manager. They were seated in a

relatively quiet spot, and they didn't even have to choose a chef. It was Chuck who had given them the

membership card.

When Chuck walked in, he noticed Lucy was slightly distracted Memories from yesterday still lingered in his

mind. He averted his gaze and placed the menu down, "Ms. Sanchez, feel free to order," while putting the tablet

in front of Yasmine.

Yasmine faintly sensed something unusual between the two of them. After randomly ordering a few dishes, she

handed the tablet back to him. "Besides what we've already ordered, just bring us a few more dishes, whatever

you like."

"Okay." Chuck hastily left, as if he couldn't escape fast enough, while Lucy watched him flee with a hint of hurt in

her eyes.

"Lucy, did something happen between you two again?" Yasmine asked.

Lucy shook her head, unwilling to talk. How could she possibly bring up what happened with Chuck the night

before last when they were drunk at the bar?

The dishes hadn't been served yet, but Chuck placed a bowl of soup in front of Lucy. "Drink this."

Lucy looked down and saw | was ginger tea. "I don't want it," she murmured.

Chuck nudged the soup back towards her. "You have to finish it."

As the two of them went back and forth, Yasmine knew exactly what was happening and covered her mouth,

giggling. Morgan, of course, noticed as well and offered, "Why don't you finish cooking and then sit with us to

eat?" "No way!" Chuck and Lucy exclaimed simultaneously to Morgan

Once all the dishes were served, Chuck glanced at Lucy and said "Chere for a moment, I've got something

for you." Though puzzled, Lucy still obediently stood up and followed him.

In Chuck's lounge, because he's a top chef, it closely resembles a suite at a hotel.

Lucy stood at the door, reluctant to go in. "What do you want to give me?"

"How can | give it to you if you won't cin?" Chuck replied.

Lucy finally stepped inside, and as she did, Chuck slammed the door shut and pinned her against the wall. "Why

did you run away that day?" Chuck asked, his breath heavy, as if trying to suppress his

anger.

"I..." That day, Chuck was brewing traditional medicine in the kitchen for Lucy. The sound of him slicing ginger

made her restless. The events of that night were still fresh in her mind. Why did they end up in bed again? As

she watched Chuck's back in the kitchen, she couldn't tell if she liked it or not, but her racing heart couldn't lie.

In a panic, she hobbled out of Chuck's house.

"Answer me." Chuck's eyes were bloodshot.

Lucy avoided his gaze and stuttered, "Afraid."

"Afraid?" Chuck squinted, never expecting

reason. "Afraid of what?"

"Afraid of liking you," Lucy replied.

Chuck's breath hitched. He couldn't quite put his feelings into words; his heart was racing. "Why are you afraid of

that?"

Yasmine and Morgan were savoring the food in front of them. "Morgan, do you think those two will end up

together?" "Hard to say, one keeps avoiding, the other doesn't dare to speak up," Morgan said calmly,

"When | told you at the auction that Yonas gavethe plan, you didn't seem surprised, nor did you strongly

opposemeeting him again."

Morgan said expressionlessly, "Do | even need to stop you two now? I can tell how things are going."

Yasmine gave a bitter smile, "You were right back then, | should have listened to you. Irene suits him better."

Ambitious, decisive, and strategic, she jumps into things without hesitation, making her a great asset to Yonas's

career. 2/3

"No one's perfect from the start. | only held you back to protect you from getting hurt," Morgan said. Having

been through pain once, it's a lesson to be cautious. But Morgan kept this last thought to himself.

"Morgan, can | have a small section of Misty Evergreen Isle? Just a tiny portion on the vacation island," Yasmine

requested.

Morgan looked at her, puzzled, "Sure, what are you planning?"

"It's a secret for now," Yasmine said with a smile.

"We only got Misty Evergreen Isle thanks to you, and the Sanchez Group is also yours. You can do whatever you

want," Morgan said with a smile. He never once thought of taking his sister's property for himself; he merely

managed it for her. 3/8
