Chapter 796

Without warning, Yvonne raised her glass and threw its contents directly at Debra’s face.

“Yvonne! What the hell are you doing?” Drake snapped, pulling Debra behind him. “Go upstairs. Now!”

But Yvonne stood her ground, her gaze fixed on Debra with burning contempt. “I hear you’re from Seamar City, Debra. Your family’s gone bankrupt, haven’t they? Quite a fall from grace.”

The crowd watched in stunned silence, curious about Debra’s past.

Drake’s expression darkened further. He shot a warning glance at Conrad, whose hands were now clenched in desperation. Now he regretted acknowledging Yvonne as a legitimate daughter. She was expected to bring glory to the family, but what they received was only shame.

He had planned to keep Yvonne locked in a hotel and eventually find a reason to cut ties with her. But now, things had spiraled out of control.

In a final attempt to salvage the situation, he hurried forward and grabbed Yvonne’s arm. “Your wounds aren’t healed yet. Don’t cause a scene here. Go back upstairs.”

“No!” Yvonne wrenched her arm free, leaning in close to Conrad. Her voice was a low hiss meant only for his ears. “What if I told everyone here about your dirty secrets, Father? Would he be pissed off? Would he regret pushing me down the stairs?”

“Don’t act rashly!” Conrad warned, his face turning ashen.

He had always indulged Yvonne, knowing she held too much dangerous information. In fact, a large part of their success today was attributed to her effort.

If she exposed those secrets, both the Sharp family and the Lowe family would fall into disgrace.

Satisfied with his silence, Yvonne turned back to Debra and smirked, “Ms. Frazier, no offense, but I doubt Drake would ever fall for a fallen lady like you.”

She raised her voice, ensuring that everyone in the room could hear her. She added, “This evening is about the partnership between the Sharp and Nichols families. In honor of the occasion, I’ve prepared a special piano performance for Mr. Nichols.”

Her eyes flicked toward Juan, who remained silent. Since he didn’t object, she took his hand and led him toward the piano. “Shall we make this night unforgettable, Mr. Nichols?”

Her body language was unmistakably intimate, hard to reject by any man.

Debra watched with a frown, sensing a deeper game in Yvonne’s actions. But Drake seemed entirely indifferent. He leaned down toward Kale and whispered, “Take Debra upstairs. She needs a shower and a change of clothes.”
