Chapter 429
Skylar had exhausted all options. With no movement on Diana's case, she could only pray Beatrice would pull
through so that Vic might show mercy on Diana.
Yolanda surveyed the living room as she changed her shoes. Only Joe, Yvonne, Harold's family, and Skylar
remained. Winnie must have left shortly after her.
She headed straight upstairs without greeting anyone. Seeing her attitude, Joe's temper flared. "Yolanda! We're
all trying to help here. Don't you care about your mother at all?
"Yolanda, stop right there!" Ignoring Joe's outburst, Yolanda continued upstairs. She was too exhausted for their

"Dad, please calm down. Don't make yourself sick." Yvonne rubbed Joe's back. "Maybe Yolanda was out looking

"Hah! What help could she find? Without Mr. Savage backing her, she's nothing!" Joe was still fuming. "I don't
want a daughter like that! If Diana faces charges, I'll spend every penny fighting her case. Then I'm going
straight to a lawyer to legally disown Yolanda!"
His anger made him reckless with his words. At the mention of "every penny," something flickered in Yvonne's
eyes, but she stayed quiet.
The room fell silent again. Everyone was staring at their phones as they waited. Upstairs, Yolanda called Rowan.
"Yolanda! It's been a long time!" His voice cthrough patchy amid background noise.
"Find better reception. | need to ask you something important."
After that, Rowan shouted, "Hold on! I'll call you back in five!"
Five minutes later, her phone rang. This time, Rowan's end was quiet.
"What's wrong? Are you in trouble? Do you needthere?" the moment the call was connected, Rowan said
hurriedly. "You're alright, aren't you?"
"I'm fine. | need information on the Shadowthorn's movements."
"Shadowthorn?" Rowan paused. "Why them?"
The Shadowthorn was an infamous international assassin organization, known exclusively for poison-based kills.
Yolanda had recognized their handiwork in both Nigel and Beatrice's poisonings-specifically their leader's
signature compounds.
Usually, Shadowthorn contracts cost tens of millions. It made no sense for someone to spend that much
targeting top-tier families in a small city.
After Yolanda explained the situation, Rowan agreed it was strange. "I'll look into
it. I'll probably receive snews in two days."
He paused, then remembered something. "Oh yeah, that imposter nearly had a car accident recently."
“Nydia?"
"Yeah. Someone tampered with her car."
"Getting past the Hoffman's security can't be easy." Yolanda smiled. She knew Rowan had created openings in
Nydia's security detail.
"We can't catch our enemies without taking risks." Rowan said casually, "That imposter needs to learn that
impersonating you has consequences."
"Did you find anything?"
"No. They were careful."
