CHAPTER 49: CHAPTER 49: IS SUMMERS’ FATHER PRESIDENT JENNINGS OF APEX?

Stellan Aston’s face changed, and he suddenly stood up. "Ethan Grant?"

Ethan Grant had previously meddled in Yvette’s affairs, so what does this mean now? Is he helping Yvette?

Yvette really has some skills, being able to get Ethan’s assistance.

To what extent has she sunk to such lowly depths?

Fingers clenched tightly, Stellan left the living room with a dark expression.

"Contact Jayden Grant, I’m going to the Grant Family!"

Bring Yvette back!

...

On the green train heading to Montville, Yvette huddled in a corner, eating a chicken sausage.

She had boarded without a ticket, afraid that both The Aston Family and the Grant Family would track her movements using her ID.

The station was approaching quickly.

Chances are, she’d have to keep hiding from now on.

Upon exiting the train station, Yvette nibbled on some crispy noodles while searching for a public phone booth to call Caden Summers.

"Brother..."

"Yvette, where did you go..." Caden asked anxiously.

"Brother, don’t worry about me. I’m fine. Give me an account number, and once I start working and earning money, I’ll transfer money to you every month." Yvette took out a notebook and pen, asking softly.

"You’ve just arrived in an unfamiliar city, take care of yourself first," Caden said, his heart aching for Yvette. "Don’t worry about us."

"Consider it saving money for Summers; it’ll still require funds for future medical treatments." Yvette’s voice was slightly hoarse.

Holding back tears, trying not to collapse emotionally, Yvette spoke again. "Brother... I’ll be alright."

"Today, Ethan Grant came and took Summers for a checkup. I don’t know what his intentions are."

Yvette’s hand, holding the phone, paused for a moment. Ethan went?

"Brother, Ethan Grant is different from Jayden Grant." Yvette explained a bit for Ethan. "But it’s still wise for us to keep our distance from The Grants."

"You don’t need to worry about things on our side; they can’t do much to us."

"It’s just that Summers’ condition is quite serious. He had several nosebleeds today, which only stopped after going to the hospital. We still need to find his biological father..." Caden was a bit nervous, fearing it might upset Yvette.

"I know, I’ll find him." The reason Yvette came to Montville was to meet someone.

That year at the Meridia Hotel, besides Chase Sinclair and Tom Ziegler, there was one more person who was most likely — Henry Jennings from Apex, who was the only one to find Yvette after her accident and offered to help her as long as she was willing to follow him, ensuring she wouldn’t go to prison.

"Yvette, take good care of yourself out there." Caden’s voice was very low.

Yvette responded, jotting down the bank account number. "Then I’ll talk to you later, I’ll keep in touch frequently."

Hanging up the phone, Yvette blankly looked at the unfamiliar city.

How could she meet Henry Jennings?

Apex Group is an enterprise that is no less than Grant Group. Although not in Meridia, its powerful influence in Montville is not something ordinary people can attach themselves to.

Years ago, Henry Jennings noticed Yvette because of a ballet performance.

Yvette performed a solo on behalf of the troupe, astonishing everyone. After the show, someone told her that a big shot had taken an interest in her.

That year, Yvette was only nineteen, young and naive, holding a deep aversion to such matters, let alone the fact she had Jayden Grant, disdaining anyone else.

She directly rejected Henry Jennings, but it only fueled the man’s competitive spirit.

For a long time, Henry tried various ways to find out about Yvette, even going to her school.

Unable to tolerate it anymore, Yvette harshly told Henry off, after which he didn’t bother her again.

At that time, she didn’t know what a terrifying person she had offended.

It wasn’t until after she went to prison that Yvette learned that the Jennings Family of Apex Group was indeed no less than The Grants, an absolute overlord in the business world.

Even the collaboration between Grant Group and Apex was on equal footing.

On the night of the incident six years ago, Yvette attended a charity gala in Meridia, not intending to partake in such events after the issue of genuine and false heiresses arose.

However, that day, Stellan found her, saying she must represent The Aston Family because the invitation to the gala bore Yvette’s name. For the sake of The Aston Family, she had to go.

Yvette went, unaware it was the trap Stellan and Charlotte had carefully devised for her.

At the gala, Yvette saw Henry Jennings again, who told her that if she couldn’t survive in Meridia, she could always come to Montville to find him, and he’d have no problem supporting her.

Yvette refused again, retreated to a corner, and drank the wine he had handed over, after which her consciousness became a blur.

During the five years in prison, Yvette pondered over all the men who might have appeared in her room that night, concluding that Henry Jennings was the most likely, because she had once offended him.

"Miss, looking for accommodation? Hotel! Need a taxi?"

Outside the train station, those soliciting customers shouted at Yvette. She stood there hesitantly for a while. She had only 500 yuan on her, insufficient to afford a hotel.

Lowering her head, she left the train station, found a 24-hour bank, and huddled in a corner to rest.

It was too late today; tomorrow, she would look for a job.

She needed to settle down first, then find a way to approach Henry Jennings to find out the truth.
