Chapter_209

The tension that had been simmering all day was palpable as Yvette and Jeremiah arrived at the police station. The soft hum of the Jeep’s engine slowly faded as they stepped out, the cold air brushing against their skin, only adding to the anticipation.

Yvette was calm, unfazed by the flurry of events that had just unfolded. The miracle of her acupuncture had already begun to ripple through the city, but that was not her primary concern. Today was about something else: getting justice. She was here to make sure the man responsible for her father’s accident paid for what he’d done.

Jeremiah opened the passenger door with a fluid motion, and Yvette’s long, lean figure stepped out, drawing the attention of everyone present. Her cold, aloof demeanor was enough to silence any chatter. The weight of her presence was unmistakable.

Andrew, who had been standing nearby, smoking a cigarette, immediately extinguished it when he saw their approach. He walked toward them quickly, but there was a tinge of discomfort in his movements—an unspoken acknowledgment that he hadn’t been able to inform Yvette sooner.

“Ms. Chavez,” he greeted, his voice respectful but carrying a hint of unease.

Yvette didn’t break her stride as she nodded slightly, her eyes narrowing as she glanced at Jeremiah, who had already given her a look that spoke volumes. She raised an eyebrow, wondering if Jeremiah’s calculated plans were slowly coming to fruition.

Andrew’s greeting seemed to hang in the air for a moment before Yvette’s gaze shifted back to him. Her cool indifference wasn’t just a shield—it was part of the confidence she had cultivated over the years. There was no room for weakness in the presence of her enemies.

“Is he inside?” Yvette asked, her voice crisp and clear, cutting through the tension.

Before Andrew could respond, Wyatt stepped forward, his eyes immediately landing on Yvette. He had known her for a while, but after the recent revelations about her true identity, a different layer of respect and wariness emerged. Yvette had long since ceased to be just a girl from Seacrity—she was now a powerful figure in her own right.

“Mr. Chavez, Ms. Zeller,” Wyatt greeted with a warmth that felt practiced, but also genuine. The smile he gave Yvette was more sincere than the one he had flashed earlier to Andrew.

Yvette acknowledged him with a brief nod, her posture remaining unwavering. “Hello, Mr. Langford,” she said politely, her voice composed.

Wyatt’s smile softened further, and for a split second, Yvette could see a flash of admiration in his eyes. It was clear to her that Wyatt was beginning to understand just how formidable she truly was. Despite her calm and controlled exterior, she was a force to be reckoned with.

“Please, follow me,” Wyatt said, gesturing for them to enter the station. He stepped aside, allowing Yvette and Jeremiah to pass first. The gravity of the situation was now evident to everyone within earshot—Yvette was no longer just the daughter of the man involved in the accident. She was a key player, and no one would dare stand in her way.

Inside the station, the tension from the earlier interrogation was still thick. Zane Chappell, the director, had been working tirelessly to extract the truth from the culprit, but as expected, the man was stubborn and defiant, sticking to his story that it had been an accident. No matter how hard they pushed, the man remained unwavering.

Yvette’s presence in the station seemed to change the dynamic. The culprit, who had been so indifferent to the questioning, shifted uncomfortably when he saw her enter. He knew who she was—and he understood that she was not someone to be trifled with.

“Why are you so confident it was an accident?” Yvette asked, her voice low but full of authority. Her eyes locked onto the man, piercing him with a gaze that could freeze anyone in their tracks.

The man shifted nervously under her stare, his previously confident demeanor cracking for the first time. Zane Chappell, who had been observing quietly, noted the shift in the room. He had seen many criminals try to lie their way out of trouble, but something about Yvette made even the most hardened individuals falter.

“Ms. Zeller,” Zane said, his voice respectful but also a bit cautious, “The man insists it was an accident. We’ve got him under close watch, but we still don’t have any definitive proof beyond his word.”

Yvette didn’t respond right away. She stepped closer, her presence like an invisible weight bearing down on the culprit. He could no longer meet her gaze.

“Do you think I’m stupid?” Yvette asked softly, her voice now carrying an edge of danger. “If it were an accident, why wouldn’t you cooperate with the investigation? Why lie? Why run?”

The man swallowed hard, his nervousness now palpable. He could feel the noose tightening around him, but he wasn’t ready to crack. Not yet.

Jeremiah, standing just behind Yvette, remained silent, but his presence was a constant reminder that this was no ordinary interrogation. The Chavez family’s influence loomed large.

Wyatt watched the scene unfold, a quiet sense of admiration for Yvette building within him. He’d heard stories, but seeing it firsthand was another matter entirely. Her methods were unconventional, but they were undeniably effective.

“You can tell me the truth now,” Yvette continued, her voice colder than before. “Or you can keep digging yourself into a hole. Either way, I’ll make sure the truth comes out.”

The man’s resolve wavered. For the first time, his bravado faltered. His eyes flickered toward Zane, who gave him a small, almost imperceptible nod, signaling it was time to crack.

With a long, defeated sigh, the man finally spoke.

“It wasn’t an accident,” he confessed, his voice cracking with the weight of his admission.

Yvette’s eyes narrowed, satisfaction flashing across her face. This was just the beginning. Now, the real work would begin—ensuring that justice was served, not only for her father but for everyone who had been wronged by this man’s actions.

Jeremiah stepped closer to Yvette, his hand brushing hers in silent support. There was no need for words. Together, they had made sure the first step toward justice had been taken.

As they left the station, the night air felt a little lighter, a little less oppressive. But for Yvette, the battle was far from over. This was just one victory in a much larger war.
