Chapter 93 Owning Up To
Her Mistakes
“Brian, I know you’re planning to see Rachel. But just for once, just this one time, can you stay with me?” Tracy
asked.
Brian’s anger seemed to settle a little.
He stepped forward and put his hands on her shoulders. “Tracy, Rachel is my girlfriend. I need to be with her.
I’m sorry, but I have to leave today.”
Tracy stared at him with teary eyes and said, “It’s already thundering, and the news says there will be a storm
tonight.”
Brian’s expression remained firm as he repeated with unwavering resolve, “No matter how bad the weather is,
I will be there.”
Tracy’s lips quivered hard.
She wanted to say something, but nothing came out.
Because of the bad weather, his jet couldn’t fly, so he asked Ronald to drive him instead.
Unfortunately, a storm hit them hard on the way. The heavy rain made it difficult to see the road.
Halfway through, Ronald asked, “Mr. White, should we keep going?”
“Keep driving,” Brian answered without hesitation.
Since Brian said he would come for her, Rachel waited the whole evening.
As the hours passed, there was still no sign of him.
By ten o’clock, she finally decided to take a shower, hoping that by the time she was done, he would have
arrived.
At eleven, Brian finally called. Rachel’s heart jumped as she quickly answered, “Did you reach?”
“Go to bed. No need to wait for me.”
His words crushed her hopes.
“Is something stopping you from coming?” she asked.
“Yes.” He kept it brief, knowing that if he told her when he’d arrive, she might stay up all night waiting.
“Rest up and sleep early.”

“Alright.”
After ending the call, Rachel couldn’t help but feel let down.
When she got hurt, Yvonne told her she had called Brian, but he was too busy to come.
This time was no different. He was held up again.
Even though she knew he really had work, she still felt disappointed.
Yvonne got home, knowing well that she had messed up.
So, she stayed inside the whole day and didn’t go out at all.
Her breakfast and lunch were brought to her room.
Dinner was the same.
“Your food is ready, please eat.”
But the voice that spoke wasn’t one she recognized.
Yvonne looked up and saw someone she didn’t know.
“Who are you? Why are you here? Where’s Jorge?”
The woman held the food carefully and said, “I don’t know lorge. I just s

tarted working here today.”
Yvonne understood right away.
She hurried through the villa and soon heard soft crying from the servants‘
rooms.
Inside, a few servants sat together, quietly wiping their tears.
“What should we do? Are we really not getting paid this month? I need the money to pay my daughter’s school
fees.”
“My mom’s hospital bills are so high every month. Without this salary, I don’t know how I’ll manage.”
Some tried to comfort the others. “We just have to accept it. Mr. Burke usually treats us well. He may seem distant and strict, but he pays better than most employers.‘
Yvonne quickly realized the key point–none of them had been paid this month.
She went straight to Leif. “Was it Norton who deducted their salaries?”
Leif looked away, clearly avoiding her eyes.
That meant she was right.
Yvonne’s hands shook with anger. “Where’s Jorge? He’s worked here for almost half his life. Where did he go?” “Mr. Burke said Jorge was getting old, so he gave him some money to go home and rest.”

“What?” Yvonne’s eyes burned with fury. Rest? Norton made it seem like a kind gesture, but he was clearly just
pushing Jorge out.
“How can Norton be this cruel? I know I messed up, but that was my mistake alone. Why punish the household staff because of me? I need to talk to him.” Yvonne turned, ready to march out.
Just then, a deep voice echoed behind her. “And how exactly do you plan to confront me?”
It was Norton himself. He had returned.
Yvonne couldn’t stay still any longer–she rushed forward.
“Norton, I take full responsibility for everything. I know you’re angry at them for keeping you in the dark, but none of this is their fault. Every wrong decision, every mistake—it was all mine. If you want to punish someone, punish me. Just don’t make them suffer for my choices.” Her earlier sharpness was gone as she clutched his
sleeve, her voice almost pleading.
“Oh?” Norton arched an eyebrow. “Didn’t you just finish cursing me?”
“I’m sorry!” Yvonne bowed deeply. “It’s all my fault. I shouldn’t have brought another man home. I shouldn’t have been jealous of Shelly. And I definitely shouldn’t have taken your favorite car and wrecked it.”
She bit her lip before continuing, “And above all, I shouldn’t have married you. I took away your chance to be with the person you truly love. That was my biggest mistake. From now on, no matter how many women you have–whether it’s Shelly or someone else, I won’t interfere. The household staff don’t earn much, but they rely on their wages to survive. Please, give them their pay.” After saying this, Yvonne bowed deeply once again.
This time, it was Norton who was caught off guard.
3…
Ever since they got married, they had clashed over everything.
She had never backed down before.
But now, she wasn’t fighting for herself–she was fighting for others, owning up to her mistakes without
hesitation.
Norton’s silence made Yvonne even more uneasy. “And Jorge… he’s spent his whole life serving your family. He never married, never had a family of his own. Sending him away like this is cruel. Please, bring him back and let him spend his old age in comfort. I’m begging you, Norton.”
Yvonne’s eyes stung, on the verge of tears, but she refused to let them fall.
Meanwhile, Norton adjusted his tie, his expression unreadable.
Watching Yvonne admit defeat so easily left an odd feeling in his chest.
Without another word, he turned and headed upstairs.
Normally, Yvonne would have stopped him or grabbed his arm.
But this time, afraid of upsetting him, she stood frozen, not daring to move.
“Well? Aren’t you coming up?” Norton’s voice rang out from the stairs.
