"You haven't changed a bit after four years. You are meaner than ever," Yvette said with a bitter expression. "Do you really think I am going to believe a scheming woman like you?"
"It is okay if you don't believe me. How about we make an agreement?" A dim light flashed in Summer's eyes.
"What are you trying to pull here?"
Summer snickered. "What can I do under your nose when you are so influential in Santabaca? You will find what I am going to propose irresistible."
"I am all ears." Yvette looked at her warily.
"If you can convince your son to give up Charlotte's custody, I will bring Charlotte to leave Santabaca for good, and I will never appear in front of the Valentine family again. What do you say?"
Summers' calculation was that Yvette could be a strategic piece of chess.
Yvette looked at Summer for several seconds. "Why should I trust you? I will trust anyone but you," she said coldly.
She could not agree to Summer's proposal for two reasons. The first was that she had no clue of what was on Summer’s mind, or rather, what she was
scheming.
And the second reason was that she knew Mark liked this child. She could not imagine what would be Mark’s reaction if he found out that she was working with Summer.
"Besides, the Valentine family can afford to raise even dozens of children, let alone one. If Mark wants it, we will support the child. It isn't even a problem." She paused, fiddling with her red polished nails before she continued her sarcasm.
