Chapter 104: It’s Too Sad to Reflect on the Past
"Do I not give you enough pocket money or are you unable to find a good woman?
"You’re out screwing around every day and now you’re bringing that kind of woman into the house?
"I think you don’t want to be the second son of the Leinster Family anymore!
"Get out of here from today!"
"Do you think I care?!"
Simon Leinster’s eyes were scarlet as he smiled, but the smile was tinged with arrogance and despair.
"That kind of woman?
"You think she’s dirty?"
He pointed at Yeliz Raven, "That kind of woman is dirty, and this kind of woman is noble?
"I tell you, Jack Leinster!
"I have never cared about this status since you cheated and drove my mother to commit suicide in depression."
After saying that, Simon Leinster took out all the bank cards, car keys, and house keys from his pockets and threw them all on the table with a clatter!
The living room fell silent. Yvonne never thought that their contradiction was so fierce.
It gradually seemed as if things were getting a little out of hand, and so many untold secrets were revealed.
Yvonne never heard Zachary mention these things about his mother. She subconsciously looked up at him.
Only to find that his cold face was devoid of any expression but calm.
Yeliz Raven’s face was so pale and her lips were trembling.
Simon Leinster stared at her fiercely, as if to eat her alive.
He sneered, "You’re happy now, aren’t you?
"I’m telling you, don’t worry, I’ll die later than you.
"If you dare to replace my mother’s position, I will let you pay the price anyway!"
With that, he dropped everything and left!
"Bang..."
He slammed the door shut.
Even the floor shook a little.
Then the living room fell silent again.
Just then, Yvonne felt a warm hand gently hugged her shoulder.
"It’s okay, don’t worry."
Yvonne looked up at him.
"I’ve been so busy at work lately. So I didn’t notice anyone reading your plans, and I’m sorry for being late getting back today and putting you through this."
Yvonne was touched. She was still worried that Zachary’s mood would turn bad when he heard about his mother.
She didn’t expect that he was in so much pain, but he was still thinking of her and comforting her like this.
"It’s okay..."
"I’ll find out who stole your plans."
After hearing Zachary say these words to Yvonne, the tears Yeliz Raven had been holding in her eyes completely fell down.
In this moment, she was completely broke down.
Her faith collapsed.
She gave up her dignity to become the kind of person she was once most ashamed of, and this was what she got in return!
She just watched!
Watching Zachary pampering another woman!
Who said Jack Leinster was lenient with her?
That was what he wanted!
Every day, he enjoyed this!
He watched her suffer indifferently and wanted her to serve him while watching Zachary and Yvonne show their love!
Her heart was so tortured!
For the first time, she didn’t talk to Jack Leinster, wiping her tears and going upstairs alone.
Jack Leinster, however, sat down holding the table.
He seemed to be tired, and there was a deep weariness in his eyes.
"This matter ends here.
"No one is allowed to continue the investigation."
...
Zachary wanted to say something else, but Jack Leinster had already walked away on his cane.
The atmosphere tonight was not good. It was not the time to continue the conflict with Jack Leinster.
However, though Jack Leinster had ordered not to continue the investigation, Zachary would not let Yvonne suffer this aggravation for nothing.
At night, Yvonne curled up in bed.
The man hugged her tenderly from behind, as if he were holding a soft bunny, and cradled her in his arms with immense affection.
Yvonne felt comfortable in his arms.
She turned around and put her hand around his neck.
"What was all that... Simon Leinster was talking about today?"
She only knew that Zachary and Simon Leinster were blood brothers. The name of Zachary ’s mother, Jack Leinster’s original spouse, was Martha Stone.
She only knew that Martha Stone had died many years ago, but...
"Your mother..."
"Well."
Zachary said, "Back then, she committed suicide by jumping off a building."
Yvonne’s heart thumped, and had been holding the head of Zachary.
"Just... like your brother said?"
"Pretty much the same.
"But the truth is a little more complicated."
Martha Stone, aged 50, committed suicide by jumping from the top floor of the building of the Leinster Group 10 years ago.
This was the biggest scandal of the Leinster Group. And back then this matter was so much in the air that all the veteran employees who had worked in the Leinster Group for more than 10 years knew about it.
But the matter was quickly blocked. And Jack Leinster ordered that no one in the Leinster Group could discuss about it, and the news media would be even less likely to report it.
Back then, Jack Leinster was the most powerful man in Hiltonan!
The year Martha Stone committed suicide, Zachary was 20 and Simon Leinster was 15.
Zachary was studying abroad at that time and was not in Hiltonan.
Simon Leinster just went to the company to find Jack Leinster that day. He saw his mother fall from the roof of the building when he passed the company gate.
Since then, Simon Leinster could not accept this fact and even suffered from bipolar disorder for many years.
That was why he was so grumpy and sometimes so sinister and weird.
There were also times when he was extraordinarily autistic and depressed. He was wandering alone all the year round.
"And the graveyard he said...?"
Zachary said, "The Leinster Family has a special mausoleum. My mother should be buried in that mausoleum.
"But Dad felt it was a scandal to the Leinster Family and didn’t let Mom to be buried in that mausoleum and unilaterally dissolved the marriage."
Yvonne, "..."
Yvonne was silent.
Little did she know that her unintentional provocation would reveal such an unpleasant past.
She hugged Zachary tenderly.
"It must have been hard for you to be alone abroad back then, right?"
"I came back the next day after I knew that.
"I was young and had a big fight with dad and Simon. But Dad still didn’t change his decision.
"Instead, he sent both Simon and me abroad.
"After we were sent abroad, there was nothing we could do. Simon has been making troubles all the time until now.
"As for me, I’ve learned since then that protest alone won’t solve anything. The only way is to make myself strong, strong enough that no one dares to confront me."
It was too heartbreaking for Yvonne to hear what Zachary had gone through.
Simon Leinster would show his emotions, but Zachary wouldn’t.
All of Zachary’s emotions were hidden in his heart.
Although he would not fight with Jack Leinster like Simon Leinster, Zachary was the one who endured all the bitterness and used his strength to ascend to the top position of the Leinster Family step by step.
Now, he could take full charge of that mausoleum.
"Will you... let your mother be buried in that mausoleum?"
Yvonne asked.
...
"I don’t know."
According to the traditional Angria custom, people should return to his ancestral home.
Martha Stone was married to Jack Leinster and had two children. They should be buried together.
But back then, Martha Stone’s depression and suicide was because of Jack Leinster’s cheating.
According to her character, I was afraid she was not willing to be here.
Yvonne also knew that there would be no answer to this matter for a while.
But no matter what, Zachary would definitely give his mother a good ’home’.
Instead, Simon Leinster...
She really didn’t know that the seemingly cynical Simon Leinster had such scars in
his heart...
Jack Leinster went to the company’s branch in Abari the next day.
Yeliz Raven also went to Abari with him.
Yvonne signed a contract with Belline, and she would go to Frobnia to shoot promotional films in a few days.
She was going to shoot in Frobnia for a month. Frank Taylor, Yesmina Sherman and Zachary all attached great importance to this. Worried that she was not safe alone, he immediately adjusted his work and planned to go with her.
She also had to ask the school for a month’s leave.
But fortunately, this was also a matter of glory for the school, so the school granted her leave.
On this day, after completing the formalities in the school, Yvonne was just thinking of going to the shopping mall to buy some clothes and daily necessities.
Although she went to work, she went abroad after all, just like traveling.
Girls loved beauty by nature. And just when she was free in the afternoon, Zachary was at work, so she went shopping alone in Times Square.
Yvonne wore a pair of blue denim high- waisted trousers today, the top half of her body was paired with a short one-neck bodysuit in light pink. Her hair was slightly curled and draped over her shoulders like seaweed. Her face was painted with light make-up and she looked pure and attractive.
She chose clothes from shop to shop. She heard that the place to go for this job was at the seaside. Frobnia had many beautiful beaches, which were unimaginable.
Frobnia women were very elegant. So Yvonne wanted to dress beautifully, too.
Then she walked into a store that specialized in lingerie swimwear and also bikinis.
"May I help you, miss?"
"Thanks, I’d like to buy lingerie and a bikini."
Yvonne told the sales her size and the styles she liked, and the sales immediately began to introduce it with enthusiasm.
"These are the new styles that just arrived in our store, we are the first in Hiltonan to get this product, they are not available anywhere else. They are very suitable for young and well-built women like you."
"Let me see."
Yvonne looked at these. They seemed to be beach style in summer, and each one was beautiful.
She was pleased and took several pieces to the fitting room right away.
This brand of lingerie was not cheap and was basically only worn by celebrities and famous women.
Sales saw that she took so much at one go, thinking that she must be very rich.
The sales felt that her performance this month would definitely be completed, and she thought she must serve her well and try to get her to buy more.
"Well, is it the right size?"
"Well."
"Do you need me to come in and take a look for you?"
"Uh"
Yvonne was a little embarrassed, "Or..."
"It’s okay, this is our work. Moreover, many female stars have also bought from us, and we are responsible for giving professional size advice. You don’t have to be shy."
