Chapter 100 Looking Forward to the Future
I pursed my l*ps and squeezed my somewhat cold hands, saying, “I had no evidence. I
once tried to speak out, but no one believed me. Now, I have the guts. to tell you because
I’ve found the person who conspired with Moore against me back then.‘”
She nodded slightly, looked at me, and then took a teacup from the table in front of her.
She placed it in front of me and tapped the table. “Sit down.”
Seeing her invitation, I nodded. I had been standing since I entered, and my legs. were
indeed feeling a bit numb.
After sitting down, she poured me a cup of tea and after a moment’s thought, looked at
me and said, “Yvette, you’re smart and good at assessing situations. Technically, now that
you’re pregnant, as an elder, I shouldn’t be separating you two. But I still have to say this
upfront: since you’re confident you can clear up the incident from five years ago, I’ll
believe you. As for the Scott Corporation, its current situation, frankly, is not optimistic.
With financial difficulties and internal and external troubles, even if your father were alive,
he might not be able to revive it, let alone you. You must understand that any slight

law, could affect the future development of the Young Corporation.”
I understood her point and nodded without arguing.
Seeing that I did not object, she continued. “Of course, now that you’re pregnant, I won’t
force you to divorce Iddy. But whether you can maintain this marriage will depend on your
abilities. I must remind you that although Iddy has a strong. sense of responsibility, he
doesn’t have feelings for you. If Scott Corporation. cannot overcome this crisis and it goes
bankrupt, you and Iddy must divorce, and the child in your womb must stay with the
Youngs.”
Inodded, relieved that she was no longer focusing on my relationship with Idris. I looked at
her and said, “Don’t worry. The Scotts‘ affairs will never affect the Young Corporation.”
She did not say much more, leaning back in her chair. “Alright, since that’s the case, I
won’t say anything more. I’m also tired. You go do your things. I’ll rest here for a while.”
Clay With that, I had managed to settle matters with Madam Young

hat surprised at how easily I had convinced her, I stood up, sald
and Young, and left the room.
In the courtyard, the guests had mostly finished eating. They were either listening to the
opera or gathered together, chatting and reminiscing.
After talking to Madam Young, I felt somewhat relieved. I had always been confused in life,
but I was very clear–headed about marrying Idris. I liked him, even if I had always tried to
appear indifferent. I always knew what I wanted.
Now that this child had appeared at such a time, did it not mean that my bond with Idris
was not over yet? I would not get a divorce unless absolutely necessary. Even though I
was not sure if he loved me, it was okay. There was plenty of time, and I would strive to
become a part of his life.
Now that things were clear with Madam Young, I also needed to talk things out with Idris.
Of course, I had to tell him about the child. This time, he was really going to be a father.
Feeling good, I looked around the courtyard but could not find him. Instead, I saw Maxwell
with my mother.

I approached them and asked my mother, “Mom, did you just arrive?” I had not seen her
when I congratulated Madam Young earlier.
She nodded. “The traffic was congested along the way. I was planning to come. alone, but
since Little Sanchez had nothing to do at home, he came with me. Where’s Madam Young?
I arrived late, so I need to speak to her and personally deliver the gift.”
I pointed to Madam Young’s courtyard and glanced at Maxwell, who usually disliked such
gatherings. Why had he come too?
Noticing me looking at him, Maxwell did not pay me any attention, instead eagerly
observing the layout of the Youngs‘ mansion.
As my mother went to Madam Young’s room, I said to Maxwell, “It’s rare for you to be
interested in such gatherings.”
He turned his attention away from the stage and pointed. “Is this The Magic Flute? Madam
Young has quite the taste.”
I rolled my eyes at him, about to tease him a bit.
Suddenly, a head popped out from the side. It was Zoe, her round face smiling You’re here,
Yvette. Charles said someone was asking for you at the pavilion in
