Chapter 205
Chapter 205 The auctioneer stretched his neck , staring at us for a long time , looking a bit dazed .
Put , being the profesional he was , he quickly regained his composure and announced , 400 million dollars , once .
400 million dollars , twice , 400 million dollars , three times .
Sold : But , being the professional he was , he quickly regained his composure and announced , 400 million dollars , once , 400 million dollars , twice , 400 million dollars , three times .
Sold The moment the hammer fell , Zachary stood up , his brows furrowed as he glanced in my direction It seemed like it just hit him hed paid so much more than necessary for the Wavepeak Stadium , didnt he ? Lets go .
I said , rising without hesitation , ready to leave .
Just then , I felt a tug on my wrist .
It was Hayden pulling me back .
Yvonne , lets talk , he said .
Im sorry , Mr.
Parker , but my schedule is full today .
If you need anything , you can contact my secretary ? I replied coolly , without looking back as 1 walked away .
The indifference and coldness he once showed me ? I was returning it all to him , piece by piece .
As I exited the auction , Lucy rushed to catch up .
Yvonne , wait ! Marlon had already opened the car door for me , and when I heard Lucys voice , I turned , my eyes flickering with a faint shine .
What is it ? Yvonne , are you mad at me ? Joanna and I arent what you think we are , she said , gripping her hands tightly , her eyes red and slightly swollen .
We found a coffee shop , where she confided in me that three years ago , Joanna had gotten involved with a well known editor in the industry , and through him , she met Zack .
Though Zack seemed sharp , he had no reservations about women , and it didnt take long for him to be deceived .
Lucy , for Zacks sake , had feigned niceness toward Joanna while secretly trying to gather evidence of her wrongdoing , After we cleared the air , the phone rang from the hospital Ethan had woken up .
It turned out that the USB drive Ethan had given Lucy had been swapped .
Even though Lucy had managed to decrypt it , there was nothing on it .
But Ethan had kept the real video , and with Dylan as a witness , we went to the police .
Joanna was quickly arrested and charged with attempted murder .
Sophias son , sadly , did not survive .
She went mad , clutching his lifeless body , telling anyone who would listen how obedient and cute he was , saying he was going to grow up to be president .
As for Yosef , he ended up in prison as well .
He sent word through his lawyer that he wanted to see me .
After much hesitation , I decided to go .
When I saw him again in prison , he had shaved his head and was dressed in prison clothes .
He sat on the other side of the glass , his eyes glistening with tears as he looked at me .
Yvonne , Im sorry … he began .
I stared at him calmly .
Did you and Sophia kill my mother ? No … no , I didnt .
Your mother ….
she really did commit suicide , Yosef choked on his words .
Im a bastard .
I betrayed your mother , but I never intended to kill her .
Sophia just sent her a photo of us together and said some provoking words .
Thats all .
The answer , though painful , brought me some peace .
At least the hatred that had been festering inside me didnt grow any deeper .
1/3 Exclusive Prolia 3:38 PM D Chapter 205 Yvonne , I didnt want to leave you to die alone … Its just that … Yosef tried to explain , but his words faltered as he realized he couldnt justify his actions anymore .
1 looked at him , and surprisingly , all the bitterness from the past was gone from my heart .
1 It was your choice .
I dont blame you .
I remember you once said that after this , our father daughter bond would be severed .
I hope you meant that , I said calmly , standing up to leave .
With that , I turned and walked away , leaving the past to fade away .
Dylan had started working at a hospital , hoping to accumulate experience before eventually opening his own clinic .
1 respected his decision and occasionally brought Waylon to visit him .
Zachary , who had won the Wavepeak Stadium land , was initially elated , but soon found himself facing a liquidity crisis and turned to Hayden for help .
Hayden bought out all of Zacharys shares in the Parker Group , effectively making him leave the company for good .
Six months later , Lucy and Yasir had married , and she was quickly expecting .
With her large belly , she wasnt as mobile , so I brought small cakes for her to cheer her up .
Lucy , cake … Waylon fed her a spoonful of strawberry cake .
Such a good boy , Lucy said , gently patting his little head .
Her eyes softened with love .
I hope my baby will be as obedient as Waylon .
Your baby couldnt possibly be anything but good , I smiled and shared some tips on childbirth with her .
Her eyes widened .
Is it really that painful ? Should I go for a natural birth or a C section ? Depends on the indicators .
Dont worry , I heard Yasir arranged the best hospital for you , I reassured her with a smile .
Its still going to hurt , huh ? Oh , being a man is so much easier , just waiting to be a father , Lucy grumbled , clearly frustrated .
She sighed again , thinking of Yasir .
If it werent for him , I wouldnt have to go through all this .
Waylon , who seemed to enjoy the conversation , leaned over and pressed his ear to her belly , mumbling he wanted a baby sister .
It made both Lucy and I burst into laughter .
Just then , Yasir came in , carrying her favorite roasted chicken .
Mrs.
Parker , arent you staying to eat ? I saw Hayden and Marlons cars outside waiting to pick you up , Yasir said , as he unpacked the roasted chicken .
Both of them are here ? Lucys curiosity piqued as she craned her neck to look at me .
I sighed and corrected Yasir , Hayden and I are divorced now .
You can call me Yvonne .
But I heard Hayden say he didnt sign it .
The signature on the divorce papers was his mothers , and you guys arent even really divorced , Yasir said confidently , as if he had all the facts .
Really ? Lucy was stunned .
Yvonne , then who are you choosing ? I didnt respond .
Waylon suddenly jumped into my lap and said , Mommy , lets go home .
Okay .
I smiled , gently lifting him into my arms , nodding at Lucy and Yasir as I turned to leave .
Waylon felt so comforting in my arms .
Suddenly , he asked , Mommy , do you like Marlon or Hayden ? After Joanna was jailed , Hayden had learned about my son .
Waylon had met him before , and it seemed they were quite close , probably due to the blood connection .
Waylon , who do you like ? I asked , turning the question back to him .
Waylon thought for a long time before answering , I like both .
Such greed ! I chuckled , pinching his little nose , just as I spotted two cars parked outside one from Hayden , the other from Marlon .
Both men had gotten out of their cars , their eyes fixed on me and Waylon , with the golden rays of the setting sun casting long shadows behind them .
The end .
