A Journey from Bitterness to Truth (Matilda and Yvan) novel Chapter 437

Everyone was bustling about, but when Matilda and Yvan's eyes met, they both instinctively took a step back. In the next moment, Matilda turned around first, clutching Criss's arm tightly. "Why is Yvan here of all places?"

"Umm..." Criss seemed unfazed, "Well, he is Mr. Boyd. It's not surprising to see him at an event like this."

Matilda frowned, pulling Criss away, "I really don't want to see him."

Criss stroked his chin thoughtfully, a sly smile playing on his lips, "Maybe he's here chasing after you, who knows?"

Matilda felt a chill run down her spine, "No way, Yvan doing something like that? Don’t joke about it."

Criss caught the flicker of avoidance in Matilda’s eyes but said nothing, just arched an eyebrow. Then, turning his head slightly, he caught a glimpse of Yvan in the distance. The man was striking, with deep-set features and an intensity between his brows that seemed almost oppressive.

As the summit officially began, they entered the hall and took their seats. Matilda, being Criss's plus one, stayed in the guest lounge waiting for him to finish his meetings. Bored, she took out her phone.

When she turned on her Bluetooth, she received a message—【Would you like to accept a photo share from this device?】

Bluetooth connections only work over short distances, so without much suspicion and thinking it was a prank from Criss, Matilda accepted. Suddenly, a selfie of a woman appeared on her screen.

The woman's face bore a striking resemblance to Matilda’s, instantly reminding her of a scandal she had been embroiled in, framed by another woman's actions!
