Yvonne didn't expect Sue to say something like that.
For a moment, she didn't know how to respond.
When Sue saw her in a daze, her old eyes grew brighter. "Because Miss Smith, you care about me, right?"
"Ah, what?" Yvonne's eyes flashed as she pretended not to understand.
Sue laughed and said, "Madam, stop pretending, I know it's you."
Yvonne's pupils trembled slightly, and she pursed her lips. "Sue, you..."
"Stop telling me that I have made a mistake." Sue interrupted her. There were obvious signs of aging on her face, and she said with a serious look, "I know I didn’t make a mistake from the beginning. You're madam, because only madam wouldn't try to lie to me and would care about an old lady like me."
Yvonne opened her mouth and was suddenly speechless.
Had she been exposed?
It was all because she did not want to lie!
"Madam." Song Auntie stretched out her hand to hold Yvonne's hand. "Just admit it. Your expression says everything." 1
Yvonne sighed and pulled her hand away.
Sue smiled.
She knew that sigh meant madam was admitting it.
"Madam..." Sue called Yvonne as she choked up.
Yvonne's nose twitched as emotions flooded her. "You got me, Sue. You win. I admit I am Yvonne."
"I knew it, I knew it!" When Sue heard Yvonne’s confession with her own ears, she couldn't help but embrace Yvonne excitedly. "Madam, you're not dead! You came back."
"Yes, I'm back." Yvonne hugged Sue back.
Sue cried, "Madam, where have you been for the past six years? Since you're alive, why didn't you come back?"
Yvonne patted her back lightly and didn't answer her questions.
Sue cried for a while, and then finally stopped. After releasing Yvonne, she held Yvonne’s face and looked closely. "Madam, what’s the matter with your face?"
"I made some changes," Yvonne replied casually, touching the mole at the corner of her eye.
But Sue noticed the hatred that flashed in her eyes.
Sue felt distressed. "It's not that simple, right? I know you well, madam. If it weren't for an accident, you wouldn't have done anything to your face."
"Sue..." Yvonne smiled bitterly. "Sure enough, you know me best."
"So something really happened?" Sue raised her voice.
Yvonne nodded lightly. "Yes. Six years ago, my face was disfigured, and it was reconstructed to this face."
"What?" Sue was surprised by her words and stood up. "Disfigured? Madam, what happened?"
Yvonne hesitated for a moment and got up. She took off her top, revealing her pale waist.
Sue didn't know what she was doing until Yvonne turned around. Sue's eyes widened suddenly, and her eyes were filled with horror. "This... This is..."
"It's a burn!" Yvonne said calmly.
Sue reached out with her trembling hand and touched the large scar on the back of her waist.
The scar was a dark color. It was dark red, distorted, and it felt uneven when she touched it. It looked so horrifying that one would get goosebumps seeing it.
But Sue did not find it ugly, she was just concerned. "It must’ve hurt, right?"
Yvonne lifted her chin slightly. "Yes, it was her. In the industrial zone, I didn't get out of the car to find
Jason. Jacqueline pushed me out. She wanted me to burn in the fire, so in order to get rid of the suspicion, she said that I got off the car for Jason."
"So that’s what happened!" Sue was furious when she learned the truth, and she hit the couch with a punch.
Yvonne looked at her toes. "Because I didn't die, the police and Henry's men couldn't find my body.
However, Jacqueline was worried that it would bring about more problems if time went on and my body hadn't been found, so she got someone to set up a corpse and staged it to be me so Henry would think that I'm dead. That way, Henry would give up looking forme." 1
"But something’s not right. If Jacqueline did that, wasn't she afraid that you might come back later? If you came back, she would no longer hide the fact that she pushed you out of the car and faked the corpse," Sue asked.
Yvonne smiled coldly. "She also secretly spent money t o hire people in order to find me and kill me, so she could avoid trouble in the future!"
But destiny played a trick on her. She showed up by herself before Jacqueline's people found her.
"I see." Sue asked again, "Madam, how did you survive that fire?"
"It was the lake. I jumped into the lake when the fire started spreading, so I wasn't burned. But because of this, I passed out due to the strong current, and my brother rescued me." When Yvonne said this, her eyes softened slightly.
Sue was very confused. "Your brother?"
"Oh, it's Sam," Yvonne explained.
"From the Smith family who lives abroad?"
"Yes."
"How did he become your brother, madam?" Sue asked.
Yvonne's eyes faded softly and became cold again. " This was because of the second fire. After I was rescued by my brother, I've been healing and recovering at my brother’s place. I waited until my body was almost back to normal again before asking my brother to send me back."
"Send you back?" Sue was taken aback. She suddenly thought of something, and her mouth opened wide. " Could it be that particular day?"
