SWNOVELS Chapter 127
Just as Laicas was unsure what to do with Yvette, a housekeeper reported, “Lucas, the makeup artist has arrived and is waiting at the door.”
Upon hearing the makeup artist’s arrival, Lucas instructed the housekeeper to escort Winona back from the west side of the mansion for makeup. Then, he carefully approached Yvette, who was sitting on the couch.
He said. “Ms. Zeller, the makeup artist is here. Please go back to your room first. I’ll have them come up to do your makeup shortly.
Yvette was not interested in these matters, but remembering Lilian’s dying wish, she nodded quietly and replied coldly. “Got it
Lucas thought for a moment and decided he needed to tell Yvette about the makeup artist. Just as he was about to speak, Winona and Nellie returned, interrupting him. Nellie said, “Lucas, the makeup artist is here, right? Quickly, send her to Winona’s room. We can’t afford any delays.”
After finishing her sentence, Nellie suddenly noticed Yvette sitting on the couch. With Zachary not around, Nellie stopped. pretending, and her words were filled with insincerity. “Oh, Yvette, you’re here too? My eyesight is getting bad”
The living room couch was facing the door, making Yvette visible as soon as one entered, Still, Nellie insisted on making a few rude remarks to her.
Winona stood quietly and thought, ‘Mom will definitely not let Yvette off easily today!
She figured she might as well enjoy the spectacle without getting herself involved. Her task today was to be the perfect, lofty princess admired and envied by everyone.
Yvette didn’t lift her head, her delicate, fair hands fiddling with her phone. Her gaze carried a unique, cool arrogance
She uttered, “If your eyesight is bad, you should check it sooner rather than later because once it’s too late, there’s no going back.
Nellie was speechless. Yvette’s words infuriated her, causing her face to flush with rage. Nellie exclaimed inwardly. “This brat is even more vicious than Lilian. Back in the day, I could deal with Lillian well, but doing the same with Yvette is definitely not going to be easy!
Nellie held back her anger and thought bitterly, ‘Be as arrogant as you want. It won’t last past today. I’m waiting to see Yvette cry later
Nellie forced a smile as she gave Yvette a nasty look and said maliciously, “Yvette, I truly hope you can always be this sharp- tongued.
Yvette finally lifted her head, looking at Nellie as if she had seen something disgusting. Though she said nothing, it drove Nellie even crazier than if she had spoken. Yvette’s disdainful and cold gaze almost pushed Nellie to the brink of losing control of her anger.
Yvette ignored her reaction, put away her phone, walked upstairs, and paused midway. Without turning her head, she said something that completely shattered Nellie’s composure.
Lucas almost couldn’t suppress his laughter at the side and mused, ‘Ms. Zeller is truly impressive. I can’t believe she mentioned Mrs. Chambers’ menopause in front of everyone.”
Nellie’s menopause had only begun this year. She tried hard to keep it a secret and only had Lora make her special medicine. However, there was no such thing as a secret that couldn’t be discovered. The housekeeper has talked about it privately, but no one dared to mention it aloud as Nellie was terrified of aging

Chapter 127
The last thing Nellie wanted to admit was that she was going through menopause. She took all sorts of supplements daily to maintain a youthful appearance. Moreover, she didn’t want Zachary to know about it. It was a matter of pride for her, and it was how she reassured herself she was still young and that he wouldn’t leave her because she was losing her looks.
When Yvette revealed Nellie’s menopause in public, it was like stripping away her last veil of dignity. Yvette turned around and went to her room, leaving Nellie infuriated in the living room.
Soon. Lucas escorted the makeup artist and the team upstairs to Yvette’s and Winona’s rooms.
In Yvette’s room, Lucas had long removed the cheap pink decorations that Nellie initially set up for her. Only a few outfits that had been prepared back then remained in the closet.
Yvette never even bothered to look.
The makeup artist of Yvette, Tony Leach, was known in Seacrity for being sharp-tongued. After gaining some fame, he often bullied newcomers. This time, he made a deal with Nellie. He would receive a check worth 15 million dollars if he got the job done. He never thought highly of Yvette, anyway. To him, she had an undeserved reputation.
When Tony entered the room, he saw the plain tracksuit and canvas shoes with no logos and noticed the emptiness inside with hardly any decent decorations. He secretly peeked inside the closet. As makeup artists, they must be familiar with clothing brands and the latest trends. He immediately recognized the colorful outfits that had been out of fashion for years. He recalled-Winona’s room filled with antiques, world-class paintings, and a vanity adorned with diamond necklaces and gemstone ring.
He was more convinced of Nellie’s words, saying Yvette was indeed an unloved daughter. With that thought, he felt even less burdened. He didn’t know Yvette had just moved back into this room last night and didn’t plan on staying long.
Moreover, he had no idea that the seemingly simple tracksuit was custom-made, with Yvette being the only person in the world who owned it. Because of his disdain, he also overlooked the Vibe designer dress from Sienna tucked away in the corner. The gift box had a label exclusive to top-tier VIPs
Tony confidently instructed his assistant and two interns to arrange all the makeup and tools without consulting Yvette, acting as if he were in his own home.
The assistants and the interns felt uneasy, glancing at Yvette, who sat quietly on the side, playing her phone the whole time.
One of the adorable female interns worked up the courage to look up and asked, “Ms. Zeller, where do you think we should put this?”
Tony had intended to make things difficult for Yvette, but his subordinates ruined this plan, leading him to immediately reprimand the female intern who spoke. “Do your job and stop with the nonsense,” he snapped.
The intern who was scolded felt embarrassed, but she didn’t regret what she had done. Since childhood, her mother had always taught her that the least one should have was politeness, a fundamental principle she couldn’t abandon. However, she figured she would lose her job soon and thought, ‘No big deal. I can always find another one. After all, I’m not learning much from Tony anyway
An assistant glanced at Tony, feeling sorry for the young intern. He had thought the intern was quite talented and hardworking, but now it seemed her time here was over.
The next
next moment, they heard Yvette, quietly sitting on the couch, suddenly shout, ‘Get out!”
Tony turned around and saw Yvette putting down the cup and standing up. Her gaze was surprisingly cold, with an air of indifference that was striking.
