My Billionaire Mom novel Chapter 371

Yvette was desperate now.

When she came to the plaza just now, she saw how the plaza had changed for the better. She had struggled to start her task. She had been a teacher in the school for so long, and the company had been there the entire time as well. Yvette had seen the development of the plaza with her own eyes.

She knew that this was all made possible by Chuck's painstaking efforts.

If she set the plaza on fire, Chuck's efforts would be gone and she would feel very heartbroken. But Duncan held too much power over her. If she didn't do this, Chuck would not even have a month to prepare himself and Duncan would definitely get him.

But what if Duncan didn't keep his promise? Yvette had taken this into consideration. However, she thought that he was the sort of person to follow the rules of a game.

After being torn in between for a moment, Yvette had finally decided to set the plaza on fire.

When the fire was ignited, she had burst into tears. She saw the fire grow bigger and bigger. It felt like she was burning Chuck's heart instead of the plaza itself. At that moment, Yvette had wanted to put it out immediately but she held herself back.

She suddenly thought of Chuck breaking up with her and the anger she would be faced with. They had been together for so long. It was the last thing Yvette wanted to happen between them.

But for Chuck's safety, Yvette was willing to do anything.

Be it scolded or beaten to death, Yvette was willing to withstand anything.

"Honey, what are you talking about?" Chuck felt his heart break at Yvette's distress at the moment. What was the matter with her? Her eyes were so red. Had she been crying for a long time?

Chuck reached out to hug her again, but Yvette took a few steps back. She could not bear it any longer.

"It was me..." Yvette eventually got out, after struggling with her words.

"Young Master," Betty took a deep breath as she came over. She was shocked to see the person behind the fire from the satellite image.

She wondered why Yvette had done it.

Just, why?

Betty couldn't even figure it out. After all, she was rather wary of Yvette's presence. But in the past few days, Betty had changed the thoughts she had towards Yvette. She could tell that Yvette was sincere to Chuck. But if she was sincere, why would she burn down his plaza?

"Betty," Chuck acknowledged her, startled. He thought, "Did she find out who the person behind the fire was?"

"Who set the fire?" The look in Chuck's eyes had turned harsh as he asked. "Find out who did it. I won't let them get away with it!" he said.

Yvette's was shaking.

Betty gave Yvette a cold look. After a moment of hesitation, she decided. "Young Master, I haven't found the culprit yet," Betty lied.

"Well, keep looking. We must find them, no matter the consequences! Get them to me, quick!" Chuck said coldly.

Betty was silent at that.

"Hubby, there's no need to look for them. It was me who set the plaza on fire," Yvette admitted in a trembling voice.

Chuck was stunned. "What? What is Yvette talking about?" He thought.

Betty stared at Yvette questioningly and thought to herself, "What's your purpose of doing this, Yvette?"

Chuck turned his head away in disbelief. Why would Yvette set the fire? He wanted to make sure he didn't hear her wrongly. "What did you say, Honey?" Chuck asked again.

"I set the fire," Yvette reaffirmed.

Chuck gasped out in shock. Yvette didn't seem to be joking, but what was the purpose of her doing so?

Chuck didn't expect Yvette to be the one who started the fire. When he sent her home just now, they had hugged and kissed each other. What had made her turn around and set the fire in such a short period of time?

"Stop joking, Honey," Chuck said solemnly.

"I'm not joking," Yvette said, her heart ached. She could tell that Chuck was getting angry by looking at him.

"Young Master, she's not kidding. It really was her who set the fire," Betty took her phone out and showed Chuck the screen. It was a satellite surveillance video. The video was not clear, but he could easily tell that it was Yvette in that video.

At this moment, Chuck felt like he got hit in the head by a bat. He was very confused!

"Why did Yvette set the fire?" he thought in exasperation.

Chuck was shocked still. "Honey, why did you set the fire?" he asked, still unable to comprehend.

"I did it without any reason. I just really felt like it," Yvette said as she bit her lip forcefully. The sharp pain would remind her not to spill her secret meeting with Duncan. She was afraid that she would accidentally blurt out the truth.

Yvette could not stand the look in Chuck's eyes at that moment.

"Why?" he asked, tone still riddled in disbelief. He knew that Yvette would never do anything to harm him. He knew this well.

It was impossible for there to be no reason.
