My Love for You Broke Me

Chapter 574 Oppressing the Yonders

Kevin's place was a bit far from my location. It would take around one hour to arrive at my destination. The idea of driving for an hour or more frustrated me, and I could feel a headache coming on.

Kev was right. Things with the Yonders were getting annoying.

My eyes fluttered closed for a moment. When I opened them, a new resolution formed inside my mind. I took out my phone to call Anthony.

Fifteen minutes later, a helicopter landed outside the villa.

It was about half an hour after Kevin called me when I arrived at his house on a helicopter ride. Before getting down the helicopter, I reminded the pilot, "Wait here."

I was going home by helicopter later.

A few bodyguards were waiting outside the house, and I figured that they were working for the Yonders. I looked at them as I approached, and they returned my gaze respectfully. One of them spoke, "Ms. Felix, Mr. Yonder is expecting you. This way, please."

Eilam was nowhere to be found when I walked into the living room.

I ignored the middle-aged man sitting in the living room and asked Kevin, "Where is he? I'm here to pick him up."

"He's doing homework upstairs."

Why is Eilam doing that?

I immediately realized it was an excuse to put the man off. After pondering for a moment, I shot the man a question. "Who are you?"

Judging from the surprised look on his face, I could tell he wasn't expecting me to ask such a question. "I'm Levi. Levi Yonder."

"Oh. Are you Eilam's father?"

"I'm… uh… his uncle."

My surprise must mirror his. "Where's his father?"

"He can't leave his work, so I was sent to Bryxton to pick up my nephew on his behalf." Levi rose to his feet and explained, "Eilam's mother took him with her when she left in secret. Our attempts on searching for him were fruitless. If it wasn't for Daniel calling us, we would never have found Eilam. Besides, you took him under your wing. Ms. Felix, I appreciate your kindness."

Levi was good with his words and reading the situation.

His bodyguards were also doing a good job.

Due to them being well-mannered, my frustration was slightly lifted. I sat next to Kevin and continued, "I

brought Eilam back from France. As he's an orphan abandoned by his family, I'm planning to adopt him. However, his so-called father now shows up out of nowhere after I made the decision. You're putting me into a difficult position."

I feigned a melancholy expression. Before Levi could answer, I continued, "I have done all the necessary preparations, and Shawn is aware of it. He doesn't mind having a son of Eilam's age. Furthermore, he's expecting Eilam to become a better person in the future. He has great expectations of Eilam. Why would I allow Eilam to return to a family with declining influence, which can't guarantee him a good growth environment?"

Levi's expression hardened. "Ms. Felix, you're threatening me. I'm well aware of it. However, Eilam's father thinks about him every day. After all, Eilam is his son."

"Well, what did he do to try to get his son back over the last few years?"

"I just told you—"

"Go home, Levi. Go back to Rothfield. Your presence irritates me. Did you know that I was frustrated when I learned that I had to come over? I hate car rides, and it takes more than one hour to get here from my house. Fortunately, I can travel in a helicopter, or else I would have taken it out on you. Tell Eilam's father that he can take his child back, but it's after Shawn and I lose ground. Am I clear?"

Levi was a clever man. He knew my answer was no.

"Ms. Felix, are you trying to oppress us with your power?"

I smiled at him. "Your family did the same to Eilam and his mother. In fact, I know nothing about your

history. However, Eilam's father indeed abandoned her for power. Your family abandoned him once, and you could abandon him again. Levi, you can't expect it to be an easy job after everything your family did. Besides, what I said is less important. We should listen to Eilam's thoughts instead."

Levi frowned upon hearing that. "Are you implying that Eilam doesn't want to go home with me? And if he's not willing to go home, you won't let him go even if I insist. Am I right?"

Kevin grabbed my arm all of a sudden, and I got the hint. I put on a domineering attitude. "Even if Eilam wants to go with you, I won't allow it to happen. After all, if I agree with you on this matter, I can't control what your family will do to manipulate him. Here's one thing. Eilam is under my guardianship before he reaches adulthood."

"Ms. Felix, you're being unreasonable."

"You're right. So what?"

In the end, Levi left in defeat. Once he was out of sight, Kevin put an arm around my shoulder and complimented, "You have a sharp tongue, Ray. I can't believe the quiet Shawn found himself a wife with such a gift. That's unexpected."

I squinted at him. "Is that a compliment?"

"Of course! I admire you so much! We should definitely share gossip when we have the time."

I involuntarily asked, "Gossip on who?"

"Who else? There's only one person in my mind."

There were many people, to begin with.

But he was only interested in Shawn's gossip.

I surged to my feet. "I have no interest in gossiping about my husband. Where's Eilam? I want to see him."

It was my first time in Kevin's house, so I had no idea about its layout. He led me up the staircases. I found a Golden Retriever, a Husky, and a Border Collie in the corridor, and I was surprised. "You have many dogs."

"I need them to protect our Little Eilam, or else Big Bad Levi will take him away."

I was taken aback by his words for a moment.

"Kev, you have an incredible sense of humor."

He tightened his grasp around my shoulder. "I'm kind of familiar with the Yonders, you know. Levi is a polite guy and it's hard to hate him. However, the ones who get on my nerves are Paul and his sister, Laila. Paul might be the head of the family, but he respects Laila very much. Therefore, she's in charge of half of the family business."

"Kev, you indeed have a way of getting information through the grapevine."

Kevin was proud. "Of course. No famous family can escape my radar. I know facts about them, especially the rumors."

His words reminded me of something.

He didn't know me at all when we first met.

Now I found something off in his words.

Was that an act, or was he genuine about it?

After all, he just claimed that he knew the well-known families. The Felix Family was the top family in the city back then. Furthermore, I frequented the headlines. The chance of him not recognizing me was zero.

What made him lie?

I stopped in my tracks, causing Kevin to cast me a confused look. "Why aren't you moving? Eilam is in the room at the end of the corridor."

"Kev, I have a question."

He let go of me. My words piqued his interest. "What is troubling you, pray tell? Maybe I have the answers to it."
