The Heart Left Behind (Cole and Yvonne) novel Chapter 218

The woman was blatantly finding an excuse for her greed.

"In that case, you should head home and wait."

Why should I pay for something like this?

Perhaps because she realized that I was getting mad, she looked a little grim and said in a softer tone, "I'm just asking for the compensation that I deserve." She looked at me sheepishly.

I could see the conflicting emotions on her face. I pointed at Yvonne behind her. "You should look for her—not me."

I was not going to pay a single cent.

I was about to leave, but she grabbed my hand. Someone had started a live stream, broadcasting everything I said to them online.

"You can't even take responsibility for your own children, yet you call yourselves adults?" I looked at them, annoyed.

"Don't think that just because you're a general manager, you can do anything you like. We're in this situation because of you two."

Everyone had sent their children to this school because of Yvonne's live streams. Now that a scandal had broken out in the school, Yvonne had to bear the responsibility.

"Didn't you say you treat your wife the best? Are you trying to escape responsibility now?"

"I only have one wife, and her name is Lorraine Sommerton."

Yvonne looked at me in a daze with tears welling up in her eyes. She walked over to me. "Cole." She sounded pitiful. Jared would have caved in immediately seeing her in this way.

"Don't talk to me in that tone. I have nothing to do with you."

She bit her lower lip, looking guilty. "I don't have much money anymore. All of my money was used to hire a lawyer."

"Are you going to court?"

I had completely forgotten about the custody case with her until she said that she had used up all of her money to hire a lawyer to get Xavier back. At that moment, I realized she had set me up.

"You made this mistake. You'll solve it on your own."

My shares were not doing well on the market. I didn't have the time to care about her.

"Cole," Yvonne called me from behind, but I ignored her. She was then harassed by the group of parents. With furrowed brows, she promised that she would give them a satisfactory answer.

"You won't get anything out of me if you continue harassing me this way."

This was enough to shut all of them out. Their intention was money, after all. Since Yvonne had already agreed to pay them, they need not continue bugging her.

The live stream was viewed by millions. Everyone was guessing about my relationship with Yvonne. Some even speculated that this was a setup that Yvonne and I came up with.

I looked at Murphy's message and sneered, "These people have such vivid imaginations."

"Mr. Joplin, what should we do now? Our enemies are starting to write about us."
