Chapter 11 Are We Very Familiar With Each Other?
Inside the luxurious bathroom, Zoey stared blankly at her reflection in the mirror. She kept taking out tissues and wiping her face.
The tissue in her hand was stained red.
She thought of what her grandfather had said. He had mentioned that she would get sick at twenty–eight.
Initially, she had thought it was a joke and dismissed it as her grandfather’s superstition, but now, there were only three days before her twenty–eighth birthday.
“How could this happen?” She murmured to herself.
She wanted to call for someone and was about to open the toilet door, but when she stepped. forward, she suddenly felt dizzy, and her entire body collapsed.
Yves had no idea about Zoey’s situation.
At this moment, he was sitting opposite Ashley’s father. Ashley’s father was named Daniel, an honest and responsible man. Upon hearing Yves’s words, he shook his head and said, “Yves, you shouldn’t get involved in this mess. You are an outsider and don’t understand the situation in Haven City. Patrick has connections with the Lopez family.”
“The Lopez family used to run a martial arts school in Haven City, and their ancestors were also quite rich. There are even stories about them having some sort of immortals in their lineage,” Daniel explained.
Ashley joined in and said, “Dad, we’re now in the 21st century. Don’t talk about those things.” “This is true,” Daniel continued, “That person is considered a legend in the history of Haven City. Most of the locals in Haven City have heard stories about him.”
“What is that person’s name?” Yves asked.
“He is called Mason Lopez,” Daniel said, “The Lopez family has a deep–rooted legacy in Haven City. They may not have much money now, but they have a great influence in legal and illegal domains Patrick’s mother is connected to the Lopez family. Provoking them… won’t lead to any good
outcomes.”
As he said that, he sighed and added, “I’ll just pay off the debt slowly. It is just that life may become harder for Ashley.”
“You should listen to Ashley’s words!” Yves said, “You were tricked by your old classmate. He works for Patrick.”
“That is why I say I met someone bad!” Daniel sighed, wearing a troubled expression on his face. Yves smiled faintly and said, “Just leave this matter to me. I’ll help you settle your debt and return the one million dollars that belongs to you.”
Daniel shook his head and said, “Yves… we are now in a lawful society.”
“Dad, just let him help you!” Ashley said, “Yves knows a very powerful woman. She had someone to give Patrick a good beating today, and Patrick was terrified of her. Yves might have a solution to deal with him.”
Yves nodded and said, “Exactly.”
Daniel gritted his teeth and said, “If you can help me clear the debt, you can take the entire one million dollars. I just want to live a peaceful life.”
At this moment, Ashley’s mother brought the dishes to the table. Apart from mashed potatoes with gravy, there were omelets, grilled cheese sandwiches, and salads.
An apologetic smile appeared on her face, and she said, “I’m sorry. My family is living frugally these days.”
Yves just smiled and said, “This is already quite a feast.”
Ashley’s mother had excellent cooking skills.
After taking a few bites, Yves’s phone suddenly ráng. Yves picked it up and glanced at it. He discovered that it was a call from an unknown number.
His expression changed slightly, and then he answered the phone, saying, “Hello.”
An incredibly cold voice sounded at the other end of the phone, “Bastard, who are you? Why is Valentina’s phone in your hand? What is your relationship with Valentina?”
Upon hearing this voice, Yves smiled faintly and replied, “Valentina is my wife. Are you looking for her?”
On the other end of the phone, the voice fell silent momentarily. After a long time, he exhaled heavily and said, “Bastard, I don’t care who you are or your relationship with Valentina, but I advise you to return the phone to Valentina and stay away from her, or else…”
After saying this, he said in a threatening tone, “Otherwise… you’ll die!”
“Oh!” Yves calmly responded, “I won’t.”
“You go to hell…” The voice on the other end seemed somewhat frustrated suddenly.
Before he could finish speaking, Yves hung up the phone.
Ashley looked at him curiously and asked, “What is wrong?”
“There is nothing. Let’s eat!” Yves picked up his forks again.
At this moment, a series of screeching brakes sounded outside the door.
“Yves!
“Yves!”
Immediately, a shout rang out.
At the same time, two figures appeared at the entrance. One was a middle–aged man, and the other was a beautiful woman with long hair.
Yves turned to them, and when the two saw Yves’s clear eyes, they both were surprised momentarily.
Seeing these two, Yves frowned and asked, “Who are you?”
“Aren’t you blind?” The woman asked.
Upon hearing her voice, Yves’s expression changed slightly. He finally recognized this woman through her voice. She was Zoey’s sister, the one who had framed him. As for the man with her, -Yves wasn’t familiar with him.
“Is it any of your business whether I’m blind or not?” Yves’s tone suddenly became calm.
“I’m Zoey’s father!” At this time, the middle–aged man in a suit said calmly, introducing himself, “My name is Matthew Lewis.”
Yves was slightly surprised.
When he first came to Haven City, he had visited the Lewis family once, but he was expelled
directly from the house during that time, and he hadn’t even met anyone from the Lewis family. After that visit, Yves had made several attempts to visit the Lewis family, but they had shown no willingness to meet him.
It wasn’t until the last time Zoey had arranged for Kimberly to personally come and fetch him that he had his first encounter with the Lewis family, but he hadn’t expected that Zoey was plotting against him.
“Why do you look for me? Yves asked, frowning.
He had fulfilled his engagement, but the Lewis family had gone back on their word. The marriage license had been torn up, so he had no further relationship with the Lewis family.
“Come with me!” At this moment, Matthew said with an unquestionable tone, “Mr. Lewis wants to see you”
As he spoke, he covered his nose and looked at the house with a trace of disgust on his face. He then turned and walked away.
Kimberly also followed him and left
However, they waited at the car door for a while, only to find that Yves hadn’t come out.
Matthew frowned. He went to the entrance again and asked, frowning, “I told you to come out. Can’t you hear me?”
In the room, Ashley and others looked at Yves in astonishment
Yves calmly took a few more bites of his food. Then, he turned around, looked at Matthew, and asked, “You want me to go out, so I should just go out? May I ask are we very familiar with each other?”
