Chapter 265 Yvette .

The bodyguard was struggling to hold back , but there Howard was , leaning on his cane , with Josiah right behind him .

Howard was here , just as the private detective had confirmed .

Yvette smirked , thinking , Everything the detective has uncovered is true ! And Josiah is here ! They really are close , huh ? That meant Josiah was in on the deception too .

Perfect She nodded , her expression tightening .

Lets go inside Her eyes narrowed , and she muttered under her breath , I want to see what kind of woman could catch Howards eye , If shes truly his hidden treasure , she must be extraordinary Yvette ! Howard suddenly grabbed her wrist , his dark eyes locked onto hers as his voice dropped to a serious tone .

You can go in , but theres no woman in there .

Oh ? Wette raised an eyebrow , clearly unconvinced .

Yes ! Josiah added , backing Howard up .

Howard is just … Shut up ! Yvette snapped , cutting him off .

I know youre with your brothert I dont believe either of your she jerked her arm free of Howards grip pushing open the door and stepping inside .

Where is she ? Co Come out ! Yvette stood in the middle of the living room , scanning her surroundings with a sharp gaze ..

There was only eerie silence around her .

It was so quiet that it felt unnervingly empty like nobody lived here at all .

No , this cant be true Yvette couldnt believe it and quickly dashed up to the second floor .

Howard Josiah glanced at Howard before following Yvette up the stairs .

Yvette stormed into the master bedroom , yanking open the door to the walk in closet , only to find it completely bare .

She started opening the doors to other rooms one by one , but every room was the same , empty and untouched .

This doesnt make sense .

Yvettes face drained of color as she muttered in disbelief , shaking her head .

wrong ! Josiah had been following closely behind her .

Where is she ? Yvene suddenly turned to him , her eyes blazing with accusation .

There are clearly signs that someones been living here .

Where have you hidden her ? The rooms had obviously been tidied up too quickly .

Yvette guessed that the woman and any of her personal things had been hidden away somewhere .

Josiah frowned deeply .

Yvette , youre being too paranoid .

Theres no one here .

Yvette gasped in frustration , frowning with pain .

Josiah , after all these years of knowing each other , do I not deserve a truth from you ? Is your loyalty only to your brother ? Are you going to help him deceive me ? Josiah said , Yvette .noveldrama

Say something ? Yvettes eyes were red with tears streaming down her face as her voice cracked Please , just tell me the truth ! y step .

He grabbed her hand gently .

What do you want Josiah to say ? Youve seen it Yvette … Howard arrived , leaning heavily on his cane cane with every yourself .

Just stop causing a scene .

Causing a scene ? Yvette said with tears in her eyes , I cant believe you said that .

Her gaze hardened as she locked eyes with Howard .

You always have one step ahead of me , dont you ? You must be glad that I failed to find her .

She knew , after t tonight , Howard would be even more careful .

Im not stupid ! You know exactly what youve done to me.

She pulled her hand away ay from Howard , turned , and headed downstairs .

Howard followed her , calling out , Let me at least drive you home .

No need .

Yvette didnt even look back , taking a deep breath .

I dont want to see you or your dear brother .

She threw the words over her shoulder and stormed down the stairs .

Howard and Josiah stood frozen , as though her words had cemented them in place .

Howard muttered , frowning as he called out to his trusted aide Hervey .

Have someone follow her and make sure she gets home safely .

Hervey said , Dont worry , Mr.

Howard Flynn .

The artists k back their complaints .

Are we seriously waiting around for just her ? Keep it down .

Lawrence call her again .

kept checking the clock , unable to hold Shannon was also starting to feel the pressure .

After all , Yvette had promised to arrive on time , Gritting her teeth , she called her again .

The phone rang for a while before it went through .

Yvette , are you stuck in traffic or something ! Im not coming Yvettes cold voice came through the phone , sharp and dismissive .

She hung up before Shannon could say anything more .

Hello ! Shannon stood there , stunned .

She thought , What Is she serious ? And she didnt even explain ! How am I supposed to explain this to everyone ! However , Yvette was someone she couldnt afford to upset .

Reluctantly , she walked into the rehearsal room , forcing a smile .

Sorry guys , Yvettes schedule couldnt be rearranged , so todays rehearsal is canceled .

As soon as the words were out , complaints and murmurs filled the room .

She couldve told us earlier .

Why make everyone wait so long ? Does she think her time is more valuable than ours ? Shannon kept apologizing .

Sorry , everyone , Im so sorry She turned to Sienna , her tone genuinely regretful .

Ms.

Shaw , I didnt mean to waste your time Its fine Sienna smiled calmly , appearing much more composed compared to those artists .

Even if Yvette hadnt been late , she wouldve been done around the same time anyway .

It didnt affect her much .

Tm leaving then Shannon said .

Take care .

Ms.

Shaw As Sienna changed in the dressing room , she couldnt help but wonder , What was going on ? Yvette had promised to come .

Why didnt she show up Her phone buzzed with an unread message .

It was from Josiah five minutes ago .

Im here , by the front gate ] Once the changed , she headed out , spotting Josiah by the car from a distance .

Are y you tired ? Josiah took her bag from her as she approached .

I didnt do anything tonight Sienna shook her head and looked up at him , her gaze assessing .

Yvette didnt show up .

She made everyone wait .

Do you know what happened ? What ? Josiah tilted his head with a smirk tugging at the corner of his lips How would I know ? Seeing Siennas doubtful expression , he couldnt help but grin .

Are you testing me ? I really dont know .

If youre curious , I could ask Howard .

He pulled out his phone , ready to make the call No need ! Sienna grabbed his arm .

She couldnt bring herself to disturb Howard so late over something like this Are you sure ? Josiali raised an eyebrow , his eyes glanting with teasing amusement .

Tin afraid you dont trust me and might get jealous over something ridiculous Shut up ! Sienna shot him an exasperated glare before bending down to get into the car .

Josiah watched her slender figure as she climbed to the car , his smile fading as he stood frozen for a moment .

He thought , Sorry , Sienna … Please forgive me for not telling you the full truth .

Its about Howard , and then theres Rosie ..

By the way … As Sienna settled into the car , she remembered something and turned to Josiah .

Did you you find out who ow that phone number ? Josiah gave a short nod , his long fingers tapping lightly on the steering wheel .

He said , Sorry , Sienna .

I found out ..
