Chapter 28 The Fall Chapter 28 The Fall All eyes locked on Mandy's laptop . No one even glanced at Yvonne , who had been shoved to the floor and lay crumpled beside the couch . +10 Free Coins On - screen , Yvonne could be seen dashing into John's study . She pulled open the drawer , found the bottle of pills , stared at it for a moment - then tossed it straight into the trash : Not only that , she even grabbed a few scraps of paper and carefully covered it , burying the bottle so it couldn't be seen . Undeniable . The proof was ironclad . One by one , the Tate family turned their eyes on Yvonne - with disgust , with distance , with cold revulsion . Sally blurted out , " Mandy , when did you install a camera in the study ? What were you planning ? " But right now , no one really cared about the surveillance . What mattered was why . Why had Yvonne done it ? Mandy ignored Sally . She calmly shut her laptop and looked at Yvonne with a cool , mocking smile . Yvonne was still on the floor , as if her legs couldn't hold her up anymore . Maybe they couldn't . Her body trembled . Tears streamed down her face like broken pearls . Normally , when Yvonne cried , the whole family rushed to comfort her , fearing she might feel the slightest pain . But now , her tears looked like crocodile tears - dangerous , manipulative . Had they not seen it with their own eyes , none of them would have believed it . Sweet , gentle , perfect Yvonne ... had tried to murder their father . Jade stared at her like she was seeing a stranger . Her expression flickered wildly between disbelief and horror . Finally , she whispered weakly , " Why ... ? " " Why would you do something like this ? Your father loved you - adored you ! How could you throw away his medicine while he was dying ?! " No one could make sense of it . Under their searing stares , Yvonne broke down sobbing . Her cries were pitiful , trembling like a flower in the rain . " Daddy ... I'm so sorry ... I wasn't thinking ... I - I lost my mind for a second ... Please forgive me ... " She crawled toward John , clutching his knee , sobbing harder . " Daddy , punish me however you want . I'll take whatever I deserve . I'm sorry ... " But this time , John didn't melt . His gaze was like ice . Colder than Mandy had ever seen . The more perfect a person appears , the harder they fall . And Yvonne's fall was spectacular . Seeing that her father wouldn't forgive her , Yvonne panicked . She raised her hand - and began slapping herself . Smack ! " Daddy , I'm sorry ! " 1/2 P P Chapter 28 The Fall Smack ! " I was wrong ! " John clearly remembered seeing the medicine just last night - right in the study drawer . And now , with Mandy's surveillance footage , there was no doubt . Yvonne had hidden the pills . On purpose . When his life was hanging by a thread . Why ? It didn't take a genius to figure it out . She wanted the blame to fall on Mandy . Such calculation . Such cruelty . Smack ! John's palm landed hard across Yvonne's cheek . The sound cracked through the air . Everyone froze . That slap wasn't light . For John to hit her like that ... his fury had reached the limit . Yvonne stared at him in shock . Her own father - who had always loved her the most - had struck her . She wanted to resist . But now wasn't the time . She lowered her head , tears dripping down her face . " It's all my fault ... I deserve it . " John roared , " I gave you everything ! Everything ! And this is how you repay me ?! " Yvonne sobbed on the floor . " Daddy , I'm sorry ! " " Daddy , I truly know I was wrong ! " " Daddy ... " But John couldn't even look at her . He turned his face away in disgust . +10 Free Coins Even Jade , who had always shielded Yvonne , was stunned speechless - her expression full of disappointment and defeat . " You stay here and reflect on what you've done . " That's it ? That's the end of it ? Not a chance . " Heh ... A cold , mocking laugh escaped Mandy's lips . Jade might have conveniently forgotten what she said earlier - but Mandy hadn't . She turned to her , her smile razor - sharp . " Miss Jade , if I remember right , you said earlier ... anyone who tried to kill their own father should be handed over to the police . Locked up . Thrown out of the Tate family forever ." Her tone cut like a knife . " You haven't forgotten , have you ? "
