Facade of Love (Yvette Scott and Idris Young)
Chapter 336

Chapter 336 Dug Out in the End

I responded to both of them without looking back and got into a taxi waiting by the roadside. I told the driver the address, heading straight to the Scotts Residence.

At the Scotts Residence,

My mother was in the living room, engrossed in her TV show. When she heard some commotion, she glanced at me and complained, "What's going on with you and Little Sanchez lately? Neither of you come back for dinner, and you're out all night. Is our home really that unpleasant to you?"

After changing into my slippers, I sat down beside her, grinning, and said, "Mom, what are you talking about? I've just been really busy with work lately. I had a backlog of things to deal with from a few days ago. Otherwise, with my dimwitted brain, I'd probably squander all the assets you and Dad left behind in no time."

She snorted, clearly in a bad mood, and said, "You'd better not be using work as an excuse."

I chuckled and joked, "Well, fine. Maxwell didn't come back tonight?"

She gave me a disdainful look and asked, "Were you two not together?"

I shook my head and replied, "No."

My mother paused, then thought for a moment and said, "Perhaps he's out with that girl Alice.

Alice?

I pursed my lips, feeling a bit curious, but I did not ask further. Maxwell seemed to be getting close to Alice lately. The last time I heard, they were supposed to be investigating the land subsidence issue in Lorrell. Then, how did they end up in Lake City?

Could it be...?

I did not dare to think too much about it. I felt a strange sense of discomfort.

In the following days, Idris continued to send bouquets, each with a different style but all very beautiful. Looking at the flowers that occupied most of my office's square footage, Maxwell could not help but comment, "Do you really like flowers that much?"

I pursed my lips. Honestly, I used to like flowers quite a bit, but now... it was hard to say.

Seeing that I was silent, Maxwell could not help but shake his head slightly and said, "Who on earth taught the mighty Mr. Young this primitive way of pursuing someone? Is this the only trick he has?"

I could not be bothered to argue with him and raised an eyebrow, looking at him. "What have you been busy with lately?"

He was taken aback for a moment, furrowing his brow. "Can't you see? Work. What else could keep me busy?"

I pursed my lips, gazing at him without saying a word.

Seeing this, he furrowed his brow slightly and said, "Don't look at me like that, making it

Thinking of what his had mentioned earlier about the flowers blooming, I hesitated for a WANYIKA It lookest at him. "What's the matter?"

"YAKKAY PANAS with Alice to go to the orphanage to spend time with the kids. If you have FRANS YOU COME Jom us," he said in a calm tone, devoid of any strong emotions.

I know that he spent a significant amount of time at the orphanage and occasionally Yonnered there. After hesitating for a few seconds and recalling Idris' words, I paused for a TOW MOTO SENYMdds before saying, "I'm not sure yet. I'll see tomorrow."

sing him like this, I asked, "What is it?"

He pursed his lips and replied lightly, "Nothing, just a bit tired. By the way, I told Aunt Deb, and she'll be going there tomorrow too."

I responded with a light hum as well but felt that something was off about his mood.

Curious but not wanting to push further, I did not ask any more questions,

When Uncle Marcus entered the room and saw both of us sitting in silence, he looked puzzled for a few seconds and then said to me, "Something has happened."

Maxwell and I both raised our eyes to look at him and instinctively asked, "What's wrong?"

Uncle Marcus handed me his tablet and said, "The news came out this morning. It was suppressed for several hours, but for some reason, it suddenly started trending again."

Taking the tablet, I glanced at the trending topics and felt a pang of anxiety.

The Youngs disregard human life and defile the law'. These accusations are quite serious," Maxwell stood behind me with his arms folded, squinting his eyes and saying, "All three cases are linked to Mr. Young. It seems like a big deal."

Did Officer Jackson not say that this would not be leaked? Just a few days later, everything was coming out, practically naming Idris as the person responsible for these actions,

Seeing me silent for a while, Maxwell raised an eyebrow and asked, "What's wrong? Scared witless?"

Passing the tablet to Uncle Marcus, I pursed my lips and said calmly, "Someone wants to target the Youngs."

Maxwell glanced at me with a sidelong look and said with his arms still crossed, "Well, haven't you ever doubted him? Jack Zanier is dead for real. This is a serious matter!"
