Chapter 225: Arresting Yvonne



Chapter 225: Arresting Yvonne

When Joel got to his company building the following day, he was surprise to see Yvonne at the entrance. The moment she saw him, she hastened her steps towards him.

''Mr. Asante, do you remember me?'' she asked, her hands clutching hard unto her Chanel purse.

''I do, but how may I help you?'' Joel looked at her, seeing the desperation in her eyes.

''I have something you are interested in'' she said firmly looking determined. Joel glanced at her and pointed towards his office.

''Let's talk inside'' Joel started walking inside and Yvonne followed behind. When they reached the secretary's desk, Amy stood up and Joel beckoned on her to sit back and personally opened the door allowing Yvonne to go in first before he did.

''Sit down'' he said to her and went over to his chair. Yvonne sat down and removed a stack of photos from her bag and placed them on the table.

''I know where she is currently''

''Emily Sanchez?'' Joel looked at her with cocked brows.

''I know you've been searching for her for the past five years because she stole the original copyright to your first designs. Because of her you couldn't start your own designs and instead started a fashion studio''

''You have quite a lot of intel on me, Miss Yvonne, but why are you telling me this? What exactly do you want?''

''I need you to stop Jordan from investigating the case of Jessi's accident. If you do that, I will personally lead you to where Emily Sanchez is''

''What makes you think I have the right to interfere in Jordan's business? Jessi's accident is between you and Jordan. It has nothing to do with me, so what makes you think I can help you?''

''This isn't going to be the end of it. I know Jordan and he is merciless in dealing with his enemies. I am the same too, but, I won't be the only one to suffer in this case. I dug into Paige's life and guess what I found out, Mr. Asante? You won't believe it''

''What did you find out?''

''It isn't confirmed yet but you will be the first to know when I confirm my suspicions''

''I'm sorry but I don't think I will be able to help you. You had the chance to do the right thing but you didn't and it is too late to turn the tides of the past. You must pay for the consequences of your actions. Also, you just made a big mistake by coming here to negotiate with me. Emily Sanchez, I know where she is but I just decided to ignore her''

Yvonne bit her lips and chuckled sarcastically, ''Mr. Asante, I thought you were in love with Paige? Are you playing with Mirabel because Jordan took Paige away from you? Or are you using her for a greater purpose? You have been in love with Paige for a long time, are you sure what you have with Mirabel will stand the test of time when Paige becomes single again? From what I know, you two are childhood sweethearts. Paige used to love you. I can make her yours; Paige''

''You really treat people like objects, don't you? Childhood sweethearts? Haven't you seen children throw away their favourite toys after getting a new one? I am quite disappointed that you have become such a person, Miss Yvonne. Your insecurities and desperation is so obvious that it is now driving you crazy. You know you have nothing to hold unto so you want to start sowing discord among us? My feelings for Paige and her feelings for me are our own business and that is already in the past. The only one my eyes see is Mirabel. I am not like you who use people. I will never stoop so low as to play with someone's feelings. Also, you just made the biggest mistake by coming here to say these things to me, you know why? Because everything you just said has been recorded and Jordan is already downstairs with the police waiting for you'' Joel looked at her coldly.

''What?'' Yvonne's face turned green as she looked at Joel who had a mocking smile on her face.

The door knocked and Jordan pushed Jessi inside the office together with Paige, Lucas, Carlien and Mirabel along with two police detectives.

''Did you really think Joel was someone you could threaten? You are so despicable, Yvonne'' Mirabel said and went to stand beside Joel who was already standing up.

''I'm sorry you had to hear that'' Joel said softly to her and she smiled.

''Miss Tutu, you are under arrest for the manipulation of Jessi's accident, defamation and coercion of the victim's state of mind'' the detective in charge of the case said to her and she laughed looking at them.

''What is this? You are really going to arrest me? You set a trap for me?'' She asked looking at Jordan.

''Yes, you have been hiding so well that the police hadn't found you out but I suddenly had a feeling that you would do something. Since you first approached Joel for a job, I thought he might just be your target after his relationship with Mirabel came out. I guess I really know you too well, it wasn't hard for you to fall into my trap''

''What?'' She chuckled and turned to Paige, ''you must think all is shiny with you and Jordan but let me tell you, you will leave him sooner or later because a relationship between the two of you was ruined even before it began''

''What do you mean by that?'' Paige asked her, suddenly feeling uncomfortable.

''Paige, don't listen to her. She is spouting nonsense'' Carlien said to Paige.

''No, this isn't the first time she said something like this. Tell me, what do you mean by what you said?''

''You will soon find out anyways. Where will be the fun if you found out so early? Take your time and I hope the pain you feel tire you apart and make you so miserable that you will hate Jordan for the rest of your life''

A slap resonated in the air. Paige's whole body shook even as she stepped back after slapping Yvonne in the face.

''I hope you rot in jail you evil woman'' Paige said to her.

''You have always been one to find joy in making people miserable. Yvonne, people like you really have no saving grace'' Lucas said to Yvonne.

''Yes, I am that kind of person. I don't want anyone to be happy if I am not happy. As for you'' she turned to Carlien, ''did he tell you about his ex-girlfriend? How she died because of him and his stepbrother? Be careful, you might just be the next victim to be sacrificed in their inheritance war''

''You must think you are a god meting out judgment to people, but what to do? You are nothing and your words mean nothing to us. You are more like a broken record and darling, broken records are broken for a reason''

Lucas gave Carlien and high five after she finished saying that she smirked looking at Yvonne condescendingly. It made Yvonne furious but what could she do about that. Just as Carlien said it, she was a broken record and there was a limit to everyone accepting her attitude that never changed.

''Let's go, Miss Yvonne'' the detective said to Yvonne and she looked at everyone in the room and was about to leave when Jessi suddenly held her hand and she stopped and looked at her.

''You never told me that you were sorry. Not even once. You don't feel apologetic to me even for a second, sister Yvonne? I really loved you''

''What would my apology do for you? Will it make you walk again?''

''No, but I am receiving therapy. There is hope for me, but, is there hope for you? It seems that between you and me, you are the one with no hope. The path that you took has taken you so far that you don't even know how to make a return'' Jessi said to her.

''I don't intend to even turn back. Remember what I said, Paige. You and Jordan, no matter how much you love each other, you will still have a decision to make very soon'' she said and went out.

''That woman really doesn't give up. Paige, don't take to heart what she is saying. As Carlien said, she is a broken record'' Mirabel tried to console Paige but when Jordan looked at her face, he could still sense the conflictions in them. She was disturbed by what Yvonne said.

''So, what will happen to her now?'' Joel asked trying to ease the awkward silence in the office.

''She is going to jail for what she did. Thank you for cooperating with me on this one, Joel. I keep owing you favours'' last time, after he sent Mirabel home, Jordan had called him to talk about his plans. Little did they know that Yvonne was going to come to him earlier than they had thought. As they went inside, he had taken out his phone to give Jordan a call. It so happened that Paige and Carlien had also wrapped up all work at the hospital in Touching Village and were now back that night before.
