Chapter 43 Just Throw It Away
“What’s up? Go ahead,“Helens said, looking up from her paperwork
“Given the current situation, what are Yvette’s chances of winning this case?” Whitney asked…
Helena pamed, considering carefully. “With no physical evidence and no witnesses, things don’t look good for Yvette. That said, it’s not a garanteed. If we lour the first trial, we can appeal and keep searching for new evidence. But that would take a lot of time
Whitney tell a sinking feeling in her chest.
If the case dragged on in a year or more, Yelle’s studio might not mavive.
Alter a moment of silence, Helena asked, is something going on?”
Whinney supped out of her thoughts. “The mist summons arrived”
“Already?” Helena sounded surprised. It had only been a few days. Something fell off. “Rachel seems to be in an awful hurry like the really hat it out for Yvette. Do they have some kind of deep–seated grudge?”
Whitney hadn’t told Helena about the attak between Damian and Rachel, so Helena had no idea that Rachel’s real target was Whitney, not Yvette
It she told Helena, she was worried about how disappointed she might be in her own brother.
Whitney decided to keep it to herself. It was not to protect Damian’s image but because she didn’t want Helena to feel on between her and her brother.
For the same reason, the had also asked Yvette not to tell Helena about it.

“Caring about me and king me are two different things” Yvette took a bite. “He told me self he doesn’t like me. Should I still be holding out hope?”
“Maybe he loves you but just doesn’t realize it yet?”
“Hah. That’s not something that would happen with him.”
Yvette took a deep breath, forcing herself to sound cheerful “t’s fine. Once this is all over, I’ll throw myself into my career. They say if you’re unlucky in love, you’ll becky in other things, right? So I’ll forget about love and focus on being successful in my caree
Seeing the determined look on Yvette’s face, Whitney smiled and said, “Then, I’d better hold tight to your coattails
Yvette still needed plenty of rest, so after chatting a bit longer, Whitney left the hospital
Once she got home, she began packing Helena had been realistic–this case could dragon for a long time.
Whitney dreaded to think of what this might do to Yvette if it stretched on for a year or more. The strong, confident Yvette could end up worn down and defeated
This wasn’t just an ordinary case with a quiet a solution
When powerful families went to court, even the smallest scandall could stir up the media. And this was a full–blown Lamuit
The public didn’t care about the truth, they only wanted to watch the drama untold
Yvette would be under constant scrutiny. And when that happened, how would she cope? If that as the reality, Whitney would rather move back into Damian’s house. He said he’d drop the charges as soon as she moved back in, so the sooner, the better,
