SWNOVELS Chapter 147
Night fell as thick clouds drifted in the dark sky. The stars and moon gradually disappeared. It was completely dark.
Inside the Chambers family’s villa, Zachary was standing motionlessly by the window. His dark eyes were focused on something in the distance.
His face was slightly pale. Somehow, he looked lonely.
Lucas, the butler, entered the room carrying a tray full of food. He felt sad when he saw Zachary’s back.
Matthew only slept three to four hours every day in the past two weeks.
It seemed that Claude and Dennis were determined to destroy the Chambers family this time.
Now, the Chambers family’s bank account could only sustain them for three more days. After that, they would basically have nothing.
Three generations’ hard-earned fortune was about to be gone. How could Matthew not be heartbroken?
But now, the Chambers family was at the end of its rope with no chance of turning the tide.
Unless a miracle happened!
Lucas walked in and put the food on the table.
He sounded very worried.
Lucas said, “Sir, here’s some food that the servants just made. It’s all your favorites. Please have some. You have barely been eating lately. You can’t go on like this anymore. You will be ill.”
Zachary looked away. He turned around and sighed.
He picked up the cigar on the table but soon noticed that Lucas was worried. He reconsidered it and then put the cigar back down
Zachary said, “I know. Leave it there. You should go to sleep now You’ve been running around with me lately. I know you must be tired.”
Lucas was touched. His eyes became a bit misty.
He said, “Sir. I’m strong and I’m used to it. Don’t worry about me I know you won’t even touch the food if I leave now. You will just sit there and let the food get cold. Please, at least have a few bites of it.”
Zachary stared at Lucas, saying with a serious face, “Have a seat. I gue butler now. Let’s just talk like friends.”
I never saw you sitting, not even once.
You’re not r
Emy
Lucas still behaved respectfully. He said hesitantly, “Sir… this…”
“Have a seat.” Zachary said, “You’ve been working for me for over thirty years since I was very young. We’re both getting old, aren’t we? Through all those ups and downs in the past years, you never left me. I’ll never forget that. After Lilian left, you’re the only one I can talk to. You know the Chambers family’s current situation. In about three days, I’ll have to declare the family’s bankruptcy
Zachary said as he took out a bank card from the second drawer on the left. Then he pushed it to Lucas.
He explained, “There are 1.5 million dollars debited in this card. It’s for you. Consider it as a gift to show my gratitude to you. Please take it. Once the Chambers family goes bankrupt, find a place to enjoy your retirement. There’s an apartment on
Wes Rad for you. I’s already under your name Its small but should be perfectfor retirement
Lucas looked up at Zachary in shock. He said, tearful. “Sir, I’ve saved enough money over the years. This is too much. I can’t
rake it I can’t.”
Zachary waved his hand. He said, “Take it. You’ve been working for me for so long
Lucas wiped away the tears off his face and cautiously said. “Sir, the young lady is Cyanbird. She might be acquainted with many gurus in the business world. If
Lucas noticed that Zachary looked quite displeased. But he plucked up the courage to say, “If she can lend us a hand, maybe the Chambers family will have a chance… sir…
Zachary suddenly looked cold and a little bit angry.
He interrupted Lucas coldly and terrifyingly seriously, “Stop. Even if the Chambers family goes bankrupt tomorrow, I will not ask for her help. Don’t ever me
At the door of the study on the second floor, Yvette had been standing there in a black outfit for ten minutes.
After entering the house, Yvette didn’t see a single servant.
Compared to the once lively villa, it now looked even deserted.
Half of the security guards at the entrance were gone. Only a few men were playing cards and chatting at the entrance.
There wasn’t even a trace of its former glory
There was only a lamp on in the second-floor study in this large mansion, making it stand out.
The Chambers family was clearly in decline.
Yvette suddenly said. “Excuse me, are you free? Can I talk to you!”
Yvette’s voice startled the two people talking in the study.
Zachary looked up and saw Yvette, who was standing at the door. He opened his mouth wide in shock.
However, Lucas was overjoyed. He somehow always deeply believed in Yvette. He thought it seemed that she could solve any problem easily.
Zachary stood up and walked to her.
Yvette walked unhurriedly to the sofa and sat down.
Lucas was smart. He closed the door for them and stood somewhere not very far away from them. He was ensuring no one eavesdropped their conversation.
Just a few days ago, he caught several servants secretly sending messages to Nellie.
In a fit of rage, Matthew fired them. But Lucas was afraid that there might still be some of Nellie’s moles among the staff so he stayed.
He knew Yvette must have returned here for something important. He wouldn’t allow anyone to interrupt them.
Yvette lounged on the couch, half-closing her eyes, with the corners of her eyes slightly raised. Her eyes were dark and bright. She looked arrogant, defiant, and wild,
Zachary felt a bit uneasy being stared at by her. He cleared his throat and then said, “Why did you suddenly come back

Chapter 147
Yvette! What happened
Yvette leaned back and casually picked up a document on the table.
Zachary didn’t mind it at all. There was nothing that he wanted to keep from Yvette anymore. He had already left everything to her. Besides, it was just a document about the renovation of the commercial area.
Yvette flipped through it nonchalantly. She flipped the pages at the same speed as last time.
In less than 10 minutes, she finished reading the thick stack of paper.
Zachary had already gotten used to it. Yvette was Cyanbird, a world-renowned artist. Nothing else about her was supposed to be surprising anyway.
Yvette tossed the document onto the table. Resting her chin on her hand, she rolled her eyes around with a hint of coldness in her eyes.
She tapped on a few pages with hot glowing fingers. She said, “Here, and here, these numbers aren’t correct. The third line on the first page, it should be thirty percent. On the fourth page, the costs are two percent higher.”
Zachary picked up the document and carefully checked the numbers that Yvette had just pointed out.
Sure enough, he found she was right. With a cold look, he realized there was a mole inside the Chambers Group.
What surprised him even more was that Yvette found these two errors so quickly.
Even a financial expert would probably need much more time to double-check it.
He wondered how high Yvette’s IQ was. He didn’t even dare to take a guess.
Yvette looked indifferent. She gently tapped her fingers on the edge of the table..
She said in a soft and low voice, “Tomorrow, someone will come to find you at the office of the Chambers Group. He’s planning to invest in the company. As for the amount, you will decide it on your own.”
After that, Yvette turned around and left, not giving Zachary a chance to speak.
Zachary forced a smile. He didn’t take Yvette words seriously. Even billions of dollars could not solve the Chambers Group’s crisis.
But Zachary still asked Lucas, who was outside the door, to receive the guest that Yvette just mentioned tomorrow,
After all, the guest was Yvette’s friend. He wouldn’t embarrass her friend.
