Yvette glanced at the jewelry box and let out a light laugh, crossing her legs as she settled back in her chair. "No need." Being rejected by Yvette again and again, Nellie felt too embarrassed and finally lost her cool.

The living room was completely silent. The servants even didn't dare to breathe loudly.

But this time. Zachary didn't scold Yvette. Instead, he stared at the jewelry box for a moment before looking at Yvette, who was nibbling on sham, and then at Nellie, whose expression was sour. "If Yvette doesn't want this, then let it go. It looks too old-fashioned for young people. You can keep it for yourself Yvette raised her head in surprise, finding Zachary to be kind of interesting.

After that, Zachary turned to Lucas, "Go grab the Heart of Lorry from my collection." Winona felt a rush of jealousy. Just last night, Zachary had given Yvette a villa worth over 30 million, and now he was giving her the Heart of Lorry-the crown jewel he had bought at West Auction House for millions. Winona adored it so much, but every tshe brought it up, Zachary said they'd discuss it when she got married. Zeke, who had lost the villa, and Winona, who had lost the jewelry, both began to feel resentful toward Zachary. He seemed to favor Yvette too much, and a wave of insecurity washed over them.

Nellie was on the verge of exploding. 'How could Zachary scoldright in front of the servants? This's too much! Noticing Zachary ignoring her after giving orders to Lucas, Nellie realized he was mad. She had to smooth it over for herself. "You're right, honey. I should have thought it over. I wanted to get Yvette a gift, but I just don't know what young people are into these days. I'll make it up to her another time." Though she aimed her words at Yvette, her gaze kept shifting to Zachary. Seeing his expression soften, she felt relieved-the only one she truly cared about was him Hearing Nellie's words, Zachary decided to give her an out. "Alright, we can talk about it again when there's something better. Now, let's eat." After dinner, the Chambers family dispersed to do their own things, since it was the weekend.

Zeke wanted to chat with Yvette, but she completely brushed him off. Not wanting to make things awkward, Zeke decided to head outside.

Nellie went out with the ladies from the other three prominent families for afternoon tea, leaving only Zachary and Yvette at home.

In the study, Zachary watched Yvette, a pang of nostalgia stirring within. She resembled Lilian so closely that it felt like Lilian was standing right in front of him.

Zachary wore a sad expression, with no trace of yesterday's irritated demeanor. "Yvette, now that you're back home, are you thinking about changing your last name?" "No." Yvette shoved her hands into her pockets casually and gave him a look that mixed defiance with annoyance.

Zachary nodded, not surprised. His tone softened a bit. "Alright, if you don't want to change it, that's okay. I'll state you're keeping your mother's last nto honor her.

Is that all? If so, I'll leave. Yvette was satisfied with Zachary's decision. It saved her the hassle of arguing. Zachary felt a headache brewing. Dealing with Yvette was challenging. She was the daughter of the woinan he loved most, and he regretted the lost years with her. He genuinely wanted to make up for that time..

Chapter 15 932%2 He added. "Actually, there's one more thing. I'm arranging for you to attend Argrol University. Zeke and Winona are already there, so you'll have someone to look out for you."

Argrol University was the top school in Seacrity. Its students usually cfrom wealthy families or had om outstanding grades. Getting Yvette in now was impossible, since the semester had already started for two weeks, and the school typically didn't take in new students at that point, not even from elite families.

But thinking of Lilian, Zachary was determined that Yvette deserved the best. To help her secure a spot, he donated over 15 million dollars' worth of lab equipment in her name, persuading the principal to make an exception for her. However, she would have to start as a freshman. "No need. I can get into Argrol University on my own," Yvette responded confidently.

Zachary slammed his hand on the table in anger. "Yvette, don't be stubborn! How do you expect to get into Arghol University on your own? Stop dreaming, and get ready. I'll have Lucas drive you there on Monday." With that, Zachary hurried out-more like he was fleeing the study-worfied that Yvette might say something to challenge his poor nerves.

Yvette was left standing there, puzzled. "Wait, shouldn't I be the one walking away?" X
