Chapter 1541
Chapter 1541 Scared to Death
The words "previous life" hit Yvette like a gust of wind in the dead of winter, freezing her in place.
Yvette was so shocked that even the simple act of lifting her head became sluggish. She
stared at Wynter in disbelief, as if staring at a demon who had no place in the mortal world. How did Wynter know?
There were many things Yvette could understand, but her rebirth was something she had only ever confided to Kenton, who had no reason to tell Wynter! Plus, this was so unimaginable that it wouldn't occur to anyone out of the blue!
"Y-You..." Yvette began trembling, her knees struggling to support her weight. Not even Clyde's imposing presence had ever made her feel this way.
But now, fear gripped her from the depths of her soul. She was terrified, and her shoulder hunched instinctively.
This resembled her biological parents. Yvette was the type who only feared those who were more ruthless than herself, and this was one of those moments.
The realization dawned on her that she was unable to threaten Wynter. Additionally, Wynter's methods were far more sophisticated and calculated than she had ever imagined. Yvette was starting to fear for her life.
Her mind raced, and she found herself voicing a suspicion that had once seemed too bold even to consider. "So, were my mother and Wanda caught because of you?"
Wynter glanced at her. "You can think of it that way."
"You're not the Wynter I know!" Yvette exclaimed as if she had gone completely insane. Tears spilled down her face as she trembled with fear. "Who are you?"
Wynter's own memories were murky, but there was one thing she was sure of. "I'm here to seek justice for the Wynter from the previous life. She did nothing wrong, yet you all conspired to drive her to her death.
Her gaze seemed to pierce through Yvette, stripping away her lies. "You keep insisting that you're innocent. If that were true, then with your second chance at life, you should've known that Wynter wasn't a threat to you.
"She would have eventually been taken back to the Quinnell family. But what did you do? You still made sure she couldn't even live a normal life in Riverburg."
Yvette heard Wynter's voice echo through the villa, like the whisper of a vengeful ghost. Her hands shook violently. "I... I didn't mean to. I won't do it again, I swear. Please, just give me one more chance."
"Sure." Wynter didn't give her a chance to act further.
Yvette's head snapped up. She wondered if she heard Wynter correctly.
Wynter stood there, her voice measured and calm. "I keep people around as long as they're useful. Yvette, now is the time for you to prove your worth.
"You've been reborn, so what do you have to offer me? Think carefully. I'll give you five seconds. Five... four... three..."
Before Wynter could continue, and seeing the silver-haired boy and the umbrella-carrying girl make a subtle move, Yvette blurted out in desperation, "I can tell you everyone's ending! I know the stock market! You're playing the stock market, right?
"I know how every industry will develop over the next ten years! Kenton was an idiot for not listening to me. Please, don't lock me away. My value is more than just that!"
"Stock market?" Wynter's lips curled in amusement. "You seem to have forgotten that I've already beaten your predictions in the stock market."
Yvette's eyes darted in a panic as she scrambled for more. "The Whitman family! I know about the Whitman family!
"When Mr. Whitman Senior passes, the family's ledgers will be investigated. It's all because of a decision made by someone in the provincial government."
Wynter was silent. Because of that, Yvette knew she'd caught her attention and wanted to elaborate.
However, Wynter pulled out a chair. "Let's talk about the Winston family's fate."
