Winning her back after divorce (Divorce anxiety)

Chapter 233

Everyone in the hall gasped, trying to make sense of what she meant.

“Shut up!” Yasmine was enraged. “Vanessa, have you lost your mind?” “You’re the ones who’ve lost

your minds!” Vanessa yelled at the top of her lungs. “It’s our family’s assets. Why should it be given to

an illegitimate child whose origin we don’t even know?” “Enough!” Yasmine was clearly pissed off.

“Vanessa, do you know what you’re talking about?”

Vanessa scoffed, “Of course I do. In fact, I know everything. Ms. Schott, you’re my biological aunt.

Shouldn’t you know more about this matter?”

The keen senses of the reporters present told them that juicy gossip was about to be released.

They became excited and started shooting questions at Yasmine.

“Ms. Schott, can you answer Ms. Yoeger’s question?1 “Ms. Schott, what’s happening? Just whose

daughter is Kathleen’s mother?” “If Kathleen’s not Old Mr. Yoeger’s granddaughter, is she still qualified

to inherit the Yoeger family’s assets?”

Feeling smug, Vanessa stared at the stage with a smirk on her lips.

See it now? If you people can manipulate public opinion, so can I. I’ll never lose to all of you!

“I’

Yasmine cast Vanessa an indifferent glance. “You’re an idiot.” ■ I’m an idiot?” Vanessa snickered. “I

guess you’re right. If I were to be any more foolish, all of our family’s assets would’ve been taken away.

Anyway, I’ll never let you give our family’s assets to an outsider!”

Yasmine’s face darkened. “How is Kathleen an outsider? Even if she’s not Old Mr. Yoeger’s biological

granddaughter, she’s still the only descendant left by your mother’s daughter.

“Mother?” Vanessa let out an arrogant laugh. “Aunt Yasmine, if Kathleen’s mother, Rebecca, was

actually my sister from a different father, I’d gladly accept the decision. Unfortunately, she’s not!”

Yasmine’s expression darkened more. “Must you really unveil this secret?” “Why not?” Vanessa asked

icily. “Everyone’s going to find out about it sooner or later.”

It’s only a matter of time.

Yasmine gave her an unfathomable gaze and said frostily, “Fine. Since you’re dying to cause a scene,

then I won’t hold myself back from exposing the Yoeger family’s secrets. You better not regret this,

Vanessa.” “Regret?” Vanessa scoffed. “Regret is what I’ll be feeling when I watch you give away my

family’s assets with my own eyes.” “Very well!” Yasmine snorted. “I hope you’ll be able to keep up this

attitude until the end.”

Vanessa remained indifferent.

Yasmine turned to the crowd below the stage and announced emotionlessly, “I promise everything I say

today is the truth. I’ll accept any form of judgment if there is a single lie in my words.”

Everyone was ecstatic upon hearing that.

Yasmine said sternly, “The story begins over fifty years ago.”

That long ago?

The audience was shocked to hearthat.

“As everyone knows, the Schott family has three daughters. My eldest sister is Teresa, my second

sister is Frances, and I’m the youngest. My elder sisters were twins, and they were spitting images of

each other. Even our family members couldn’t differentiate them sometimes. Teresa had a serious

temperament, while Frances was more cheerful. Many people liked Frances Instead of Teresa, thinking

the latter was hard to get along with. When they turned twenty years old, Old Mr. Yoeger, Hector, fell for

Frances. However, he didn’t know it was Frances he was attracted to. On top of that, Teresa pulled

some tricks, causing Hector to marry her instead of Frances.”

She took a deep breath before continuing, “After the marriage, Hector realized something was amiss,

but it was already too late. From then on, he hated Teresa for pretending to be Frances and ruining his

marriage with her. Thus, he started giving Teresa the cold shoulder and drank all day, even refusing to

go home at night. At that point, Teresa was already five months pregnant. Hector never spoke to her,

even after she gave birth. In the end, Teresa fell into depression during her pregnancy. On top of that,

she lost excessive blood during labor. She lost all motivation to live and died in the middle of giving

birth.”

Everyone fell silent.

What the heck? Hector’s basically a scumbag!

“That’s not all!” Yasmine said furiously. “The doctor performed a C-section on Teresa. Turns out, she

had two babies—a boy and a girl. They were too small and needed someone to take care of them. It

was at that moment when Hector conceived an evil idea.”

Hearing that, everyone stared at Yasmine, wondering what the evil idea was.

Yasmine snorted coldly. “He told our family to let Frances marry him with the excuse that other women

might not treat Teresa’s children well. My parents were threatened back then; they had no choice but to

agree. Frances was in a relationship at that time. In fact, she and her boyfriend loved each other very

much. For the sake of our family and Teresa’s two children, Frances had to sacrifice her relationship

and marry into the Yoeger family. She didn’t realize she was already pregnant until she married Hector.

Unable to accept Hector as her husband, she made a deal with him. She would help him bring up

Teresa’s children. In return, he had to accept the child in her belly. However, Hector made a request.”

At that, she paused.

The crowd was intrigued; they could not figure out what request Hector had made.

Yasmine snorted again. “He knew Frances was great at business, so he let her manage the Yoeger

family’s business. I’m sure everyone’s heard of Frances being called an iron lady. Well, sure enough,

the Yoeger family’s business bloomed as soon as she got involved. At that point, she made another

request. She wanted to own thirty percent of the shares, and she wanted the right to manage them

personally.”

The audience listened attentively. They seemed to have a picture of what had happened.

“Hector agreed to her request,” Yasmine said indifferently. “In other words, Hector accepted it despite

knowing Frances was pregnant with someone else’s child. Secondly, she didn’t steal the shares. In

fact, she acquired it fair and square. Thus, I believe no one has the right to interfere with how she

decides to deal with her shares.”

With that, everyone in the hall finally understood the situation.

Yasmine glared at Vanessa. “Even if Hector were alive today, he has no power over those shares. So,

what makes you think you have the right to intervene, Vanessa?”

Vanessa paled.

When she found out Rebecca was not Hector’s biological daughter, she was so elated that she

instantly rushed over despite Zachary’s efforts to stop her.

She never expected there was more to the story. “That’s impossible!” Vanessa insisted, gritting her

teeth. “Words are not enough to prove it. I’ve got the results of the paternity test. I can prove that

Rebecca’s not my father’s daughter!” “You want proof?” Samuel spoke coolly.

Everyone’s attention instantly turned to him.
