After stime, she felt restless, so she left the music room and went outside.
There, she spotted Luther, whom she hadn't seen in years. The elderly man was dressed in a tuxedo. With his distinguished white hair, he looked sharp as he instructed the workers. When Luther noticed Yvette, he visibly paused before regaining his composure and walking toward her.
"Ms. Snyder, have we disturbed you?" he asked politely But what followed cut deeper than any profanity-laden insult. "I thought you wouldn't hear us, considering your disability.

However, she had later overheard him and his daughter, Lynn Gresham, talking about her.

After all, she was Xavier's legal wife and officially married into the prestigious Lane family. It must have been such a joy for a household staff like him to enjoy the privilege of lecturing his employer. "Luther, I'm afraid you're wrong. I'm not like those upper-class ladies you describe, and I can't meet your standards," Yvette replied firmly. She had originally planned to go to the company later, but now she had no intention of leaving. "I won't leave here today. If you wantto go, you should call Xavier."

He hadn't expected that a few flowers would keep her occupied. Finally, she hadn't thought of running away.
When he suddenly laughed, the senior manager reporting to him couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine. He asked fearfully, "Mr. Lane? Did I do something wrong?" Xavier cback to his senses, wiped the smile off his face, and resumed his cold demeanor. "You can leave now." The senior manager immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
