Chapter 569: Chapter 569 Not Simple

Yvette’s eyes were red, and she didn’t know what to say.

Stephen was always so gentle and tolerant, and he was so considerate of others.

Then, he ordered someone to bring a wedding dress, which was exactly the same as the one Yvette was wearing!

Yvette was surprised. "Stephen, how did you find the same dress?"

Stephen smiled. "To avoid unexpected situations, I have prepared two sets of clothes and jewelry."

"Stephen, I have really troubled you." Yvette was embarrassed.

Stephen teased, "If you’re really grateful, just act well today."

Yvette didn’t know how to reply.

After she redid her makeup and hairstyle, Marlon went backstage and checked again.

After confirming that there were no problems, he held Yvette’s hand and slowly walked out.

Because Stephen had explained that they had registered their marriage in Ireland, they would not go through that procedure again when they returned to Iceland.

Moreover, because Yvette was pregnant, the tedious process was also skipped.

They just greeted Kade and the other seniors from the Parker family.

After all, the wedding was fake. Marlon did not want Yvette to suffer a loss, so she did not need to go through those ceremonies.

When they arrived at the banquet, Marlon handed Yvette to Stephen and said in a low voice, "Take good care of Yve."

"I will," Stephen promised.

Yvette felt goosebumps on her skin as she muttered, "Don’t be so serious. You’re making me very nervous."

Hearing Yvette say this, they laughed at the same time.

"Let’s go." Stephen held Yvette’s hand and walked towards the guests.

Yvette looked around. There were quite a lot of people, but most of them were from Iceland.

It was actually a fake wedding. Given many factors, people out of Iceland were not invited.

But Marcus had worked with the Parker family overseas before, so he was also invited this time.

Feeling that Yvette was a little nervous, Stephen patted the back of her hand and said gently, "Just follow me closely."

Fortunately, the ceremony was soon completed.

Stephen said Yvette was tired and sent her back to rest.

When they reached the exit, a low male voice suddenly sounded, "Why did the bride leave so quickly?"

Yvette looked up. The man had a slicked-back hairstyle. Time has made him calm. He was a middle-aged man with a great temperament.

He wore a red velvet suit, and it was extremely eye-catching in color. It was particularly gorgeous under the light, but he did not look out of place at all.

It was as if he was born to be suited to this extravagant color.

The man’s eyes slowly swept over Yvette, and they looked into each other’s eyes.

Yvette’s mind went blank, and she involuntarily took a step back.

Fortunately, Stephen had been observing her, and he reached out to hold her in time so that Yvette would not fall.

But their movement was still discovered by the man in front of them.

The corners of the man’s lips curled up slightly. "What? Ms. Lynn, do you know me?"

It was clearly a very calm tone, but it made people feel like they were extorted a confession.

Yvette’s body trembled involuntarily, and her face turned very pale.

An indescribable feeling made her very afraid.

However, she also knew that she had lost her composure. She took a deep breath and covered it up. "I’m sorry, sir. I just sprained my ankle. I don’t know you."

However, the other party did not seem to believe her words. He said in a low voice, "Ms. Lynn, why does it seem that you are very afraid of me?"

The man’s sharp eyes were cold and threatening.

Yvette’s heart was beating very fast, and she was very panicked. She was almost defeated by his stare.

Stephen hurried to explain, "Mr. Beckford, Yvette is not afraid of you. She is feeling cold. The climate of America is more suitable for her than that of Iceland. She is not used to the cold weather here."

"Is that so?"

Keith obviously did not believe Stephen’s words and doubted, but he did not intend to continue to make things difficult for Stephen.

"Yes, Yvette. This is Dad’s close friend, Mr. Beckford."

Stephen introduced calmly, but he was holding Yvette with more strength so that she could stand firmly.

In that one minute, Yvette’s entire body was leaning against his palm.

Her slightly trembling body was covered by the wedding dress, and only Stephen knew it.

She was afraid.

He was puzzled for a second.

Why was Yvette afraid of Keith? They should have never seen each other before.

Yvette understood Stephen’s intentions, so she did not seem to be that afraid anymore.

She calmed herself down and politely greeted, "Hello, Mr. Beckford."

Yvette’s voice was extremely soft, making Keith’s heart soften for a moment.

He was thinking that if that child was born, he would be at the age of Yvette.

He did not know whom the child was like, but he had the genes of his parents, so he must be very pretty.

"Mr. Beckford, then I will take Yvette back to rest first," Stephen said and was ready to leave.

Keith was absent-minded for a moment. His sharp eyes fell on Yvette’s wedding dress as if he had seen through it. He said, "Ms. Lynn is pregnant. You need to pay attention to your body. Don’t catch a cold. It’s not good for the baby."

These words made Yvette’s heart skip a beat again.

She always felt that when Keith mentioned her baby, his expression was very strange.

Stephen blocked Keith’s sight with his body and replied firmly, "Of course, I will definitely protect Yvette."

"Not bad. I admire you." Keith laughed.

"Then we will go."

After saying it, Stephen led Yvette back.

Before they could leave that place, a young man rushed forward and was about to hug Yvette.

Stephen frowned slightly and stretched out to stop him.

Joseph also knew that it was inappropriate. He scratched his head and called out affectionately, "Ms. Thiel!"

When Yvette saw him, her heart warmed up. "Joseph, why are you here?"

"Marcus has something to do. I happen to be on a holiday, so I came here," Joseph said happily.

The boy who had never focused on his study was now a postgraduate student.

After going to university, Joseph developed a great interest in scientific research and was addicted to studying.

It had been many years since they had last seen each other. It was not until Yvette returned to New York that he contacted her through email.

Although they hadn’t seen each other for many years, they were still close to each other.

They would never feel awkward when they met.

Stephen saw that it was cold outside and was afraid that Yvette would catch a cold. He suggested, "Let’s go in and talk."

"Alright, let’s go."

The three of them walked in together.

They did not notice Keith behind them, who was staring at Joseph with a meaningful expression.

Yvette only looked like Alena, but Joseph reminded Keith of himself.

He found it familiar.

He furrowed his brows, rarely revealing such a side of him.

It was said that the wolf had a winning game when the shepherds quarreled. Lance, who had changed into a suit, stood alone in a corner with a black stick, getting the entire situation.

He saw everything.

He saw Yvette and Stephen holding hands as they greeted the guests with smiles on their faces.

He also saw Yvette rely on Stephen as she had once relied on him.

Previously, he had always felt that Stephen and the Parker family were not good. But at this moment, he realized that he was very envious of Stephen.

After Yvette left, Lance withdrew his gaze and noticed Keith in a red velvet suit in front of him.

His eyes were fixed on the backs of Yvette and Joseph, and he was actually distracted.

Lance did not know much about Keith. Although he was a member of the Beckford family, he did not have a deep relationship with his family.

But thinking that he was Juliette’s uncle, Lance’s eyes fell on him.

After Yvette chatted with Joseph for a while, Joseph saw that she was not very comfortable and let Yvette rest.

Yvette was indeed uncomfortable. Otherwise, she would let Joseph stay for a while longer.

Joseph smiled. "It’s fine. Ms. Thiel, take a good rest. I plan to stay here for a few more days. Stephen also arranged a place for me. When you are better, we will gather outside."

Joseph regarded Stephen as his brother-in-law, although he still addressed Yvette as "Ms. Thiel".

Stephen put on a gentle smile. "Don’t worry. If you need anything, tell me."

"That’s great. When I get better, I’ll contact you," Yvette said.

When there were only two people left in the room, Yvette removed his disguise and felt a chill.

"Yvette, what happened just now?" Stephen asked her with concern.

"I..." Yvette didn’t know how to answer, and her arms were still trembling.

Stephen took a blanket over and draped it over her. He said softly, "I’ll go get Marlon to come over. Don’t worry. I will..."

He paused and seemed to realize that something was wrong. He coughed lightly and said, "We can solve everything for you."

Yvette nodded. Just as she was about to speak, Marlon came in.

"Yvette!" He was a little worried. He went forward and squatted slightly. He gently held her arm and asked with concern, "Stephen said you are not feeling well. What happened to you? Do you need a doctor?"

"No." Yvette shook her head. "I’m fine."

At this time, Stephen had left the room to them.

Even if Yvette said it was fine, Marlon was still worried.

"Is it really not a physical problem? If you don’t want to see the doctor of the Parker family, I will take you out to see the doctor."

As he spoke, he got up to take Yvette out.

"No, Marlon. I just saw Juliette’s uncle, Keith."

"What’s wrong? Did he make things difficult for you?" Marlon frowned.

Yvette shook her head. "No. Marlon, I am very scared when I see him. His eyes make me very scared. I always feel that I have seen him."

"Have you seen him?"

Marlon did not know much about Keith, but he felt that it was impossible.

It was said that Keith had been abroad a long time ago when Yvette was still a child.

For so many years, he never returned to New York.

Although he was a member of the Beckford family, it seemed that his relationship with his family was not very good.

"Yvette, did you not rest well? Was it because of the pressure?"

Marlon felt that Yvette definitely did not have a good rest.

He held Yvette’s hand and comforted her, "Your current task is to have a good rest. I will handle the rest."

"Have you sent out the gifts?" Yvette asked.

"Yes. Yvette, don’t worry. I believe that we will see Mother soon."

Yvette was taken to the room by Ayana.

Marlon recalled Yvette’s words and was a little worried. He got someone to get the surveillance videos from the scene.

Because of the angle, the surveillance could not capture Keith’s expression.

However, it could be seen that Keith’s eyes had been following Yvette and the others as they left.

Marlon was lost in thought.

Keith didn’t have close contact with the Beckford family, but after all, he was Juliette’s uncle, so he was naturally on Juliette’s side.

The case of Juliette’s death had been closed. Moreover, the forensics confirmed that Juliette’s death was because she had been cut by Rod and had not been treated in time. After that, she stopped breathing due to coughing.

Moreover, she was not a simple victim. The prosecution found some evidence in her residence and could conclude that she was related to many cases. However, she had passed away, so there was no way to pursue her other responsibilities.

However, the things that she had done would not be forgotten. They were recorded in the document.

The prosecution had kept Yvette and Lance’s identities a secret to keep them safe.

If they did not get in touch with the important scrolls, they would never know that the two had something to do with the extermination of Rod.

Therefore, it was impossible for Keith to know that when Juliette died, Yvette was also present, but it could not be ruled out that he knew it. In short, he had to pay attention to Keith.

At the same time.

In the hotel, Lance was sitting in front of his computer, looking at all the information about Keith.

Keith was very alert and did not leak any other information.

The information showed that he had been working abroad all year round.

He had a wide network, including some nobles and royalty.

With these connections, he could easily get some projects that others could not reach, and a large amount of profit would flow into his account.

He was probably the richest man in Iceland.

This was also why he could receive the greatest respect from the two largest families in Iceland.

After all, although the two families were prosperous, they had a lot of people and also needed funds. Some of Keith’s big projects usually needed cooperation, which could bring benefits to the two big families.

Moreover, Keith had a well-trained elite troop, which was no worse than the people of Rod and the Parker family.

Given the benefits, no one would be Keith’s enemy.

Lance looked through Keith’s information and could not find anything wrong.

Keith seemed to like to be alone and lived abroad all year round. Lance was not even sure about his address.

Sometimes, Keith was in Italy, and sometimes in Iceland. He was like a traveler who had no fixed residence.

Moreover, he had always been single and was not in a relationship. This way, there were very few ways to inquire about him.

Lance kept staring at the short messages, and his eyes became dry.

If a person had little information, he was either an ordinary person or someone back an unfathomable background.
