Ch. 2111..2120

Chapter 2111 Bullied

Nicole looked sideways at Clayton.

Clayton’s breathing in the darkness was very light.She knew that he was not asleep.

“For the time being? That’s to say he might go back in the future?”

Nicole had experienced unimaginable dangers, so she did not want the people around her to experience it too.

Not everyone was so lucky to survive a crisis over and over again.

Clayton sighed lightly.His tone was cold as he said, “They might not give up easily.His aunt is the best at tugging at people’s heartstrings.Otherwise, she could not have managed the family for so long.But I can’t keep him by my side forever.”

Michael was grown up and had his own mind.

Nicole blinked.

“Why don’t we let him stay?”

“I’ve spent so long paving the way for him in the field he’s studying now.He’s the best at it and likes what he does.He has the top teachers in Europe and can only get the best education there.”

Clayton’s voice was a little low and hoarse.

Perhaps he was tired.

“Go to sleep, baby.He won’t leave until he becomes an adult, anyway.When the time comes, I can’t control him either.I don’t want to bring myself unnecessary trouble.”

After saying that, Clayton turned around and pulled Nicole into his arms.

Shortly after, his breathing was long and steady.He fell asleep.

These two days, Nicole and Clayton were not at home during the day, and Floyd had limited energy.

Thus, Floyd arranged for the maids to take the children out to play.

Fortunately, the kids listened to Michael, who was like an old hen leading a flock of chicks.

Mr.Anderson arranged for a few people to go with them.

Michael was unrestrained and took his younger siblings to the amusement park.It was rare to see Levi so happy that his eyes were filled with excitement.

Fischer jumped up and down and insisted on holding hands with Chaity.

Michael, as the eldest brother, directed the staff to inspect the facilities to ensure their safety before they rode on them.

Michael would not let them book out the park, so it was rare for Chatty and Levi to see such a lively place.

Chatty did not need to be carried and happily observed her surroundings.

Fischer was glued to Chatty as if he could not survive being a single step away from her.

Levi looked at the two peas in a pod helplessly and had no choice but to follow Michael.

Michael held Levi’s hand.

“Do you want to ride on the merry-go- round?” Levi shook his head and pointed to the roller coaster in the distance.

“I want to ride that one.” Michael paused and frowned.

“It’s a bit dangerous for you!” Levi looked at him with a straight face.

“It’s not dangerous.I’m not afraid.”

Michael hesitated for a moment, looked at Levi’s pleading eyes, and agreed.

Thus, he brought Levi on the roller coaster.

Chatty went around happily and ran to a pond with Fischer.The water in the pond was very shallow, and many children were fishing.

Fishing was Chatty’s forte.

Thus, Chatty rolled up her sleeves to show Fischer her skills.

Before Chatty could get in, someone next to her grabbed her skirt and handed her a candied apple.

“Chatty!”

Fischer looked at the boy who was taller than him and was stunned for a moment.

Then, anger surfaced on his little face.

Fischer pushed the boy with all his might to keep him away from Chatty.The boy was stunned for a moment.He fell to the ground and looked at Fischer in puzzlement.

Fischer took Chatty’’s hand and said, “He was the one who pushed you into the water last time! We can’t play with him!”

Chatty was too young and had long forgotten about what happened.

Chance sat on the ground.His fair and tender face looked very hurt as he bit his lower lip.He was so aggrieved and did not know how to explain himself.

Chance wanted to forget what happened that day, but others would remember.

Fischer wanted to pull Chatty away, but Chatty would not give up on catching the big fish inside the pond.

Perhaps Floyd’s hobby had gotten to Chatty because the fish in the pond was too tempting for her.

Chatty turned around and got in.She was very flexible.

Fischer reluctantly followed.

Chance helplessly watched Chatty leave, stood up weakly, and wanted to go in.

However, he was suddenly pushed down by the kid next to him.

The little boy saw that Chance was alone and fearlessly provoked Chance because his parent was next to him.

“Go away! Do you hear me?” Chance looked very sad and puzzled.

He was also hurt.

The next second, Chatty stood up from the side and pushed the arrogant child to the ground.

“Say sorry! Do you hear me?”

Chatty stood there arrogantly.

Although she was wearing a beautiful skirt, she did not look weak at all.

Chatty stared at the child with dissatisfaction and tried to use her fists to solve the issue.

That kid looked left and right for his parents.

Seeing that his parents were not far away, he cried out loud.

Someone rushed over when they heard a cry.

The boy’s parent picked him up, looked at Chance, Chatty, and Fischer, and said angrily, “Where did you all come from? How could you bully him?”

Fischer said from the side, “He pushed him first! 1 saw it all.”

“I don’t care.I didn’t see it.You’re all bullies! I’ll go to the manager and ask for an explanation.”

Chatty stood there fearlessly and stared at the woman.

“Don’t go! Wait here.I’ll get my daddy to teach you a lesson!”

Chatty took out her children’s watch and called Clayton.Fischer stared at Chance silently from the side.It was such a good day until they met him.

What a bummer! The parent and boy insisted on extorting Chatty’s parents, especially after seeing that Chatty’s smartwatch was a limited edition of an expensive foreign brand.She thought this was a good opportunity.

The parent took those three children to the visitor center.

She explained what happened and felt even more aggrieved, especially when her child was the one who cried.

The other three children did not cry at all.

The staff looked at them and had no sympathy for this troublesome woman.

Chapter 2112 Nicole, Save Me

At this moment, everyone was quiet.The parent looked at Michael in shock.The blonde-haired and blue -eyed child had such a ruthless look in his eyes.

Chatty and Fischer clapped their hands happily.

Chance stood there, dumbfounded.

After a while.The director of the amusement park rushed over.He personally came forward to solve this matter, so it was dealt with smoothly.

The children did not apologize in the end.

However, that parent did not pursue the issue any further.She was very satisfied with the conditions offered by the director, which was an all-expenses paid admission to the amusement park for this visit.

The parent happily carried her child and left.

After the director dealt with the woman and child, he wiped his sweat and looked at the staff.

“In the future, this family will be on our blacklist.We don’t need to let them in again.”

“Yes, sir.”

The director turned his head and put on a smile.

“Please follow me to the office.Mr.Sloan is waiting for you there.”

Chatty was excited and ran out with Fischer.Levi frowned and looked at Michael.

“Big Brother, why didn’t Uncle Clayton come here?”

Michael glanced at him and raised his eyebrows.

“Why would you use a machete to kill a chicken? You’re still too young to understand!”

“Oh.”

Only Chance was hesitant to go over.

After all, this problem arose because of him, but Chatty’s father did not invite him over.

Chance was deliberating whether to go when Levi went over and took his hand.

“Chance, come with us! My uncle is very gentle and kind.He likes children too!”

Chance nodded heavily upon hearing this.

Clayton was waiting in the director’s office, looking casual and relaxed.He did not bother to quarrel with a shrew in person.However, he also did not want his precious daughter to be bullied.Thus, Clayton came and waited in person.

The door opened.

Chatty ran in with a bright smile and rushed into Clayton’s arms.Her milky scent filled Clayton’s nostrils.

“Daddy…”

Clayton could not help but smile and put her on his lap.

“Who is this little troublemaker? Daddy and Mommy are so worried because you sneaked out!”

Chatty pointed at the group behind her.

“Brothers!”

Clayton did not blame them.He just looked at Michael and said with a smile, “I’ll let you go for today because you stood up for your sister.”

He did not blame Michael for his impulsive behavior because Michael only did it for Chatty.It was well-deserved! Michael smiled.

“I’m eternally grateful!”

Finally, when Chance came in, Clayton’s eyes narrowed slightly.Clayton turned to look at Fischer and beckoned to him.

“Come, Fischer.You’re the most obedient and honest boy, so tell me who started it first.I promise not to blame you all.”

Fischer smiled and thought, ‘Of course! Uncle Clayton is so gentle and kind.He’s the best -tempered daddy.’

The little boy obediently ran over and hugged Clayton’s arm, acting like a spoiled child.

“Someone pushed him, and Chatty bravely helped out.” Clayton’s eyes flickered.

He instantly figured out what happened.

Everything was clear as day.

Clayton’s dark eyes swept over Chance.

Chance subconsciously lowered his head, then raised his head again and looked at Clayton.

“I’m sorry.”

His voice was tender and hoarse as if he was not used to speaking, but he tried his best.Clayton frowned slightly and raised his eyebrows again.

“I’ll let it go this time.Chance, if you’re bullied in the future, don’t expect a lady to stand up for you.You need to be more responsible.”

Chance’s face instantly turned red like a cooked shrimp.His head felt hot as he nodded.He silently clenched his fists and thought, ‘I will definitely become stronger so that I can protect Chatty!’ Clayton pinched Chatty’s little face and said with a sincere smile, ”

You were really brave, but Chance is a boy and doesn’t need your protection.Look, Fischer has always protected you.

Levi and Michael will also protect you, so if something goes wrong in the future, you have to hide behind them!”

Chatty clenched her fleshy fists.

“No, I’m Ultraman!”

Clayton was speechless.

New Year’s Eve.

Everyone got together to count down for the New Year.Clayton seamlessly integrated into the Stanton family by relying on his sweet talk.

It was rare for Floyd to not focus on beating Kai in the New Year.

Instead, Floyd was chatting happily with Clayton.

Nicole stayed up for the countdown and saw that Chatty was asleep, so she crept back to her room.Her phone on the bed lit up over and over again.

Nicole picked up her phone and saw that it was Yvette.

She smiled and answered the call happily.

“Ms.Quimbey, are you already wishing me a happy new year before midnight?”

Yvette was silent for a few seconds before she yelled in a hoarse and twisted voice, “Nicole, save me!”

In the next second, the call ended.

Nicole’s expression changed dramatically.She suddenly had a bad premonition.She ran out with her phone.

Yvette’s story was coming to an end.

Sheldon’s Residence.

Yvette looked at the mess in front of her eyes and instantly felt suffocated.

Lance was beaten with injuries and blood all over his body.It was horrifying.

Yvette wanted to save him, but the person behind her tightly strangled her neck as if he was torturing her on purpose.

Someone’s cold breath surrounded her.It was useless no matter how much she cried.

This should have been a good day for a family reunion.

Yvette never imagined that Sean Moore would break into her house with some thugs.

Sean looked so bloodthirsty and aggressive, as if no one could stop him.

Just like that, Sean barged into and messed up her peaceful, ordinary life.

The people he brought with him smashed everything they saw.

Everything that Yvette and Lance carefully arranged at home was destroyed.

Sean seemed to be using his own way to destroy Yvette’s life.

Lance was proficient in martial arts, but he was still at a disadvantage compared to the people Sean brought.

However, Lance refused to beg for mercy, especially in front of his wife.

Lance was determined not to have his dignity trampled on.

However, the more Lance retaliated and resisted, the more ruthless Sean’s subordinates were.

Chapter 2113 Don’t Want to Get Divorced

Sean pinched Yvette’s chin and said in a vicious tone, “You look like you’re living a good life.I still remember everything you said before.I just don’t understand why you suddenly stopped loving me when we were clearly in love with each other.You didn’t even give me a chance to change.Yvette…Tell me why?”

Yvette cried until she was out of breath.She looked different from her usual radiant and beautiful self.She looked extremely wretched.

Yvette had never been so afraid even when she was in such a dangerous city like Cali.

At that moment, she did not know if Lance was still alive outside, and she did not know if she would be able to survive the New Year.

Yvette used to do as she wished with men, but she treated every formal relationship seriously, especially when she was with Sean.She did not expect that Sean would be hung up on the past.

Yvette dumped Sean back then, and he took it as humiliation.

That was why Sean came today.He wanted her to pay the price.

This was her retribution.

Yvette cried until she did not have the strength to answer, but Sean did not give her a chance to hesitate at all.She never knew that Sean would be so excited to see her in despair.

Sean’s eyes darkened.He did not want to mistreat himself, so he tore off Yvette’s clothes and pounced on her.

Yvette struggled even more, but she had no strength to fight back because Sean overpowered her.

Sean reacted even more violently when he smelled her breath.He grabbed Yvette’s neck with one hand and threatened her.

“You’d better not resist, Yvette.Unless…You want that man outside to die.”

Yvette instantly stopped struggling as if she was struck by lightning.

Sean blatantly threatened her as if he did not care whether what he did was illegal or not.He was just using his own violent way to destroy Yvette.

Sean stood below Yvette’s apartment for so long and watched as Lance went in and out of her place.

It seemed like nobody cared about that kind of heart-wrenching pain Sean felt at that time.

Only Sean knew how painful it was.It was as if his whole body was grilled over an iron plate.

For Lance’s sake, Yvette no longer refused Sean’s advances.She was just as stiff as a puppet.

However, Sean knew how passionate Yvette could be in bed and did not like that she had become so cold now.

Why could she compromise for Lance? Right in Yvette’s and Lance’s bedroom, Sean frantically took everything from Yvette and forced her to cater to his wishes.

Seeing her in pain made him feel better.

After he was done, Sean was satisfied, but Yvette slumped over like a broken doll.

“Can you let us go now?” Yvette asked in a hoarse voice.

Her tears could not stop falling as soon as she spoke.

Sean’s face darkened immediately when he heard this.He slowly put on his clothes and sneered.

“Let you go? This is just the beginning, Yvette.We’ll take things slow.”

Yvette stood up abruptly and shouted at him hysterically.

“What the hell are you trying to do? We’ve broken up so long ago, and I’ve been married for so long.Why are you still pestering me? Don’t you forget that I was barely happy when I was with you back then! Why can’t you let me go?”

Yvette suppressed the anger in her heart that felt like a volcano that was about to erupt.

Sean stared at her dangerously and sharply.He looked slightly hurt.

“You said you didn’t care, but then you changed your mind, so I got divorced.But you abandoned me and left me with nothing! Yvette, now you tell me that you weren’t happy when you were with me? Did you marry Lance so that he could give you a good life?”

Sean’s black eyes were grim and frigid.His tone was even colder.

If so, then Sean had fallen for a materialistic woman.

Sean and Yvette’s relationship was shunned by the world, but he did not think so.

Yvette had a flamboyant character.

They were happiest when they were together.

If she cared about other people’s perceptions of her, she would not have taken a fancy to a married man like Sean.

They were clearly able to move past their rough patch, but why did Yvette suddenly change her mind and leave Sean?

“Since you got married, I’ve been waiting for the day you’ll get divorced.But I’ve waited for too long, Yvette.How could your relationship with him improve? Don’t you love me? I can give you whatever you want.I no longer need to fight for anything or live for someone else.I have everything now, so you can come back to me.”

Sean’s eyes were bloodshot with a bit of madness and ruthlessness.He loosened his grip on Yvette’s neck slightly.

When he saw her breathless face, his expression softened.He looked heartbroken and less ferocious.His hands that were touching her face gently felt rough.

“Yvette, come back to me.No one will dare to say anything or accuse us.Let’s start all over again.”

A sliver of hope finally surfaced in his eyes.

Sean saw that Yvette kept crying, so he caressed her thigh and said suggestively, “Look, we’ve always been very compatible, haven’t we? I know that you liked it very much.Lance Sheldon is nothing to you, so l don’t mind.Even if you’re married, you can still get a divorce.”

Yvette gritted her teeth and covered her face while she sobbed.Her whole body was shivering from the cold.She could feel that Sean had changed.

He was no longer the man he used to be.

After she got married, she deliberately blocked him out because she was afraid that she still had feelings for him.

However, without her knowledge, Sean must have experienced something out of the ordinary during this time.She was terrified deep down.

Yvette had a privileged life since she was a child.She was a little unruly, but she was still timid.She had been raised in her mother’s cage since she was young and could never get out.

Although Yvette was flamboyant, she was still a law-abiding citizen.

Sean’s words completely frightened her.She had never thought about divorce.

Yvette and Lance were planning to have a child because she had already begun to envy Nicole and Clayton’s stable life together.

Yvette thought she could do it too.She was just one step behind.She cried until her voice was hoarse.

When she came to her senses, she looked at him

Chapter 2114 Hope and Despair

The man on the floor was limp and looked like he was dying.

Lance’s nose was bruised, and his face was swollen.He also had multiple wounds on his body.His injuries were just appalling! Yvette’s whole body began to tremble from the chill.

She was flustered and miserable as she kept calling his name.

However, she did not get a response.

For the first time in her life, Yvette felt like her body and soul were separated.

When she saw Lance in pain, she just wished that she could die with Lance.

That kind of pain was like her body was ripped apart.It was something she could never imagine before tonight.

Yvette’s world crumbled overnight.

Seeing Yvette’s depressed look, Sean’s subordinates obviously felt a little guilty.

Although Sean looked unhappy, he did not look worried or scared.

Sean glanced at his subordinates as if he was saying, “You guys attacked him while I was in the room?”

His subordinates shook their heads quickly and quickly shirked off the responsibility.

“I didn’t touch him! He’s just too fragile.We only kicked him twice, but he looked like that.He’s still alive though.Boss, should we get rid of him?”

They were familiar with such things.

All of them were used to doing things like that and did not value human life.

Sean looked at Yvette, who instantly turned pale when she heard their conversation.

Yvette hugged Lance’s head tightly and looked at them with unconcealed hatred in her eyes.

Sean did not hesitate.He looked at the time and went straight to pull Yvette up.

“Let’s go.There are still 15 minutes until the New Year.Let’s not waste time here.”

Yvette stumbled and almost fell because she was dragged by Sean.Her shoulders were also completely exposed.

Sean’s subordinates consciously looked away when they saw this.

However, some were brave and blatantly ogled at this unfortunate but beautiful woman with a lewd smile.

Sean’s eyes suddenly darkened, and he threw the coat he was holding over Yvette’s shoulders.

“Put this on and follow me.”

Yvette’s husband was dying, so how could she compromise? She threw away Sean’s coat.

A faint smirk surfaced on her pale face, and her eyes were filled with sorrow.

“Get lost! I don’t want you! Take my money and get out of my house! Sean Moore, you’ll get your retribution one day.If you’re so great, why don’t you kill me? Even if I die, 1’ll become a ghost and haunt you for life!”

Yvette no longer compromised, and her eyes were full of hatred.She hated Sean so much for recklessly breaking into her home and for hurting her and her husband.He disrupted her perfect life! Sean stared at her quietly for a few seconds.His eyes were dark, deep, and bottomless.

He did not say much and only glanced at the man closest to Yvette before he lifted his foot and left.

Sean’s subordinates understood what Sean wanted and went forward to pull Yvette’s arms behind her back and tied her hands up.

They did not care whether she was in pain.

Another person took a few steps forward, picked her up over his shoulders, and walked out.They did this so smoothly as if they had done it many times before.

Yvette screamed in horror, but her voice only echoed in the air, and no one responded to her.

No one came to rescue her in this closed-off neighborhood.

Any security system did not seem to work against real criminals.

“Sean, you murderer! I won’t let you get away with it!”

Aman looked at her, sneered, and slapped her skin that was exposed.He said contemptuously, “Shut up! Our boss isn’t afraid of anything.He won’t mistreat you if you make him happy.If you struggle again, I’ll make you run around naked!”

Yvette shuddered at his words.

Sean, who was in front, also heard it and paused in his footsteps.He turned to his side and looked at the man with his dark and cold eyes.

The man immediately shut his mouth in fear.

The car was parked not far away.

Yvette looked at the lights that were gradually getting farther away.Her vision started to blur as tears welled up in her eyes.

Just like her life, she could no longer go back again.

Yvette did not know if Lance was alive or dead, but she suddenly felt like laughing at her absurdity in the past.

She was the Great Miss Quimbey who was an influential figure in the circle of high-society ladies.

Although she did not have many accomplishments in life, she had a great starting point, married Lance, and had a lavish lifestyle.

However, at this moment, Yvette could feel that her good days were coming to an end.

Sean was like an abyss that desperately sucked her in, leaving her no chance to come out again.

Yvette fell on top of Sean because Sean’s subordinate threw Yvette into the car.

Those subordinates sized Yvette up with a lecherous gaze as they thought to themselves, ‘Sean might give her to us after he’s done playing with her..”

After all, those subordinates had never slept with a high-society lady before.

Although Yvette’s chest was exposed, she no longer had any sense of shame.She was trapped in the dark and had no mood to think about anything else at all.She just zoned out as she sat there numbly.

Not long after the car drove away, Yvette suddenly saw an oncoming car.It was a very familiar yellow car.

Yvette was stunned when she noticed it was Lance’s mother, Fiona.

Fiona called them before, saying that she would not countdown to the New Year with them, but she suddenly came over.

Yvette seemed to have seen a lifeboat and was about to lean on the car window to call for help when a hand tightly covered her mouth from behind in the next second, preventing her from making any sound.

Her facial features were distorted.She wanted to knock on the window with every opportunity she had.

This was her last chance.

However, in the next second, Sean’s deep and stern voice rang in her ears like a voice from hell.

“If you dare to make a sound, I will kill her too.Yvette, don’t provoke me.”

He was capable of doing what he said he would do.

When Yvette heard this, her soul seemed to have left her body.She immediately calmed down.She bit her lip tightly and dared not make a sound, seemingly afraid that the slightest bit of noise would bring danger to Fiona.

Fiona was a gentle and kind person who loved her so much and did not mind all her shortcomings.

Yvette could not hurt her mother-in-law.

With tears in her eyes, she watched as Fiona’s car passed by her side.

Perhaps Fiona would arrive in time to save Lance! Yvette was in extreme pain.

On this New Year’s Eve, she seemed to have opened the door to hell.

Chapter 2115 No One Dares to Save You

Yvette was grieving and passed out at some point.She was worried about all the unknown and could only be a doll that Sean kept in a glasshouse for people to watch.

When Yvette woke up again, she was in a completely unfamiliar room.

Everything from last night rushed into her mind.Her face was pale as she sat up abruptly.

The unfamiliar environment made her feel more insecure.She wanted to get out of bed, but she suddenly tripped over something.

When she looked down, she saw a white nylon rope tied to her ankles.

Yvette’s heart kept sinking into an abyss.While she panicked, her feet were soaked in blood.That feeling and dead silence made her feel unsettled.

Nothing she could reach could become a weapon that she could use to threaten others.There was not even a vase in the room.

Yvette suddenly snapped and shrieked.

Finally, someone came over and pushed the door open.Sean was wearing a black shirt and trousers.His face was still cold as usual.

“You woke up? I’ll bring you breakfast in a while.”

“What are you trying to do? Didn’t you get the money? I have more money besides the cash in the safe.I’ll give it all to you if you let me go.Please just let me go!”

Yvette’s voice was hoarse.Her throat was still sore and did not recover overnight.

She did not forget the looks that Sean’s subordinates had when they saw the gold and jewelry in her safe.

Thus, she thought that they came for money.However, Sean just stood there, unmoved by her proposition.He sneered.

There seemed to be a bit of indifference and mockery in his eyes.

“Money? Yvette, I don’t want money.I want you.”

The room seemed to be dead silent from despair.

“Why? Do you hate me so much?”

Yvette looked at him in disbelief.She did not expect that breaking up with someone would have such a serious consequence.

Sean looked at her for a few seconds, then walked forward slowly.He exuded such a strong and intimidating vibe.

Sean pinched her chin with no warmth or pity in his eyes.

“I do, especially when I see how well you’ve been living.I hate you even more.You probably don’t know, huh? After we broke up, I deliberately approached you, but you drove me away and ignored me like I’m a piece of garbage.Yvette, how could you treat me like this?! We’re the same people who don’t care what the world thinks of us.I live in fear every day, but what about you? You were just enjoying life with Lance!”

Yvette’s eyes widened as she held back her tears.She asked, “So, you want to take revenge on me, right? Just kill me or hit me then! Why did you beat him up?! Why?!”

Yvette did not want anything to happen to Lance even if it meant she would be beaten half to death.That was because this was all her fault.

Everything happened because of her.

What did Lance do wrong? Since they got married, Lance loved her and took care of her.He did not neglect her in the slightest.

Yvette felt that she must be living such a good life because of all the accumulated good karma in her previous life.

The moment Yvette thought about Lance getting beaten up for her sake, she felt suffocated and miserable.

Sean stared at her and sneered.

“How can I bear to hit you? Yvette, I know you.Hitting you won’t make me feel better either.I want you to fall in love with me again so that you can feel what it’s like to have your love unrequited.Only then will I consider letting you go!”

Yvette’s heart trembled as she looked at his dark eyes in disbelief.

After Sean finished speaking, he let out an evil laugh, took a step back, and wanted to leave the room, but Yvette suddenly said, “That’s impossible! Someone will find out what you did, and you’ll be arrested.I’ve already made a rescue call last night, so someone will come to save me soon!”

Sean paused and laughed sarcastically.He was mocking her naivety.

“Ms.Quimbey, you’re so well protected by the people around you that you think the world is just black and white.You’re so naive.Me getting arrested? If the law could punish me, I would’ve died several times over.Will I still be standing here right now? Yvette, give up on that thought.No one will save you.”

Yvette felt a chill in her heart from his words.

An eerie coldness rose from the soles of her feet.She was truly terrified.

Sean did not care for the law, and he wanted to drag her into hell.

Yvette did not understand why Sean became like this.

Back then, no matter how cornered he was, he would not have challenged the boundaries of the law so openly.

The current Sean was simply lawless! Sean’s eyes were filled with an indecipherable gloom that was as dangerous as the deep sea.He flung his hand away fiercely.

Yvette fell to the floor.

The rope on her feet cut her skin.

However, that pain was nothing at all.

Yvette looked up at Sean with tears in her eyes.

Sean was like a demon in the dark.He did not care that she was crying.He patted her face to humiliate her by treating her like a pet.

“You’re a smart girl, so you should understand that you can only survive if you’re obedient.Lance wasn’t capable enough to protect you, so just let him die.Don’t feel bad.He’s just a man.What’s a man to you anyway?”

Yvette always toyed around with men.

If she liked someone, she could go all out to get him.She had yet to feel powerless in a relationship, right? There was a trace of satisfaction in Sean’s eyes.

Seeing her helpless expression, Sean felt inexplicably happy.

However, his heart was empty after the happiness died off.He felt a little uncomfortable and unreconciled.

Sean walked out the door without hesitation and went downstairs.

Several of the subordinates downstairs were sitting and chatting.

When they saw Sean coming down, they stood up.

Chapter 2116 Lifesaver

In an instant, Sean’s expression darkened.He raised his head and stared at the man grimly.

The person next to him saw that Sean was upset and immediately went to hug the thin man’s shoulders and jokingly scolded him, “You’re so full of yourself, huh? This woman is different from the ones in the club that you can screw with anytime you want.The boss brought her back for himself, so don’t think about her.”

The thin man also saw that something was wrong and smiled sheepishly as he stepped back.

“I was just saying…She came from a wealthy family and was brought up in luxury.I was just curious because I had never touched a woman like her before.Don’t worry, Boss! Without your word, I won’t touch even a hair on her!”

The gloom in Sean’s eyes gradually faded.He was indifferent as he mocked him.

“Useless! So what if she’s from a rich family? Women are all the same once the lights are off, aren’t they? I’ll take you all to Gold Digger’s tonight.You guys can get all the girls you want no matter their price!”

The thin man’s eyes lit up.He no longer looked so apprehensive.

“Thanks, Boss!”

The others also cheered and looked forward to that night.

Sean looked at the message on his phone and paused.

“I need to go out.Get someone to watch her.”

The fat man on the side suggested, “Should I get Melissa to come? She’s obedient and sensible.Maybe she can persuade Ms.Quimbey to accept this place.”

Sean’s face was taut.He threw his car keys over and did not object.

“Inform her and go pick her up.I’m going out.”

“Yes, Boss!”

The fat man followed Sean out, while the thin man secretly wanted to go upstairs to take another look at the woman.The person next to him pulled the thin man out.

“Can’t you see that the boss is upset? How dare you think about his woman?”The thin man smiled innocently, “I just wanna look at her.Did you secretly feel her up when you carried her last night?”

“P*ck off!”

The place was quiet as if it was isolated from the world.

Yvette walked around the room in a trance.She went everywhere that she could reach with the rope binding her.She did not find anything sharp, not even the corners of the table, not to mention a mobile phone.

Suddenly, Yvette heard a car gradually driving away.She felt energized in an instant.She was still wearing the same clothes she wore last night that exposed a large area of her skin.

The cold air hit her, and Yvette had goosebumps all over her body.She did not have time to think about it and started to untie the rope on her feet.

However, the rope was tied with a special method.No matter how hard she tried, she could not untie it.Her body was trembling from nervousness.Her beautiful and delicate fingernails were all broken, and blood oozed out.

However, she seemed not to feel the pain as she continued to tug at the rope desperately.

Why? Why did no one come to rescue her? Yvette did not know how Lance was doing and could not calm down for a moment.She finally realized what being anxious meant.

If something happened to Lance…

Yvette dared not think deeper into it.

What should she do in the future? Yvette was in a hurry and broke several fingernails, but the rope showed no sign of loosening.Her vision suddenly blurred with tears.She could not hold on anymore.She hunched over on the floor, looking so thin and frail.

Her shoulders began to tremble violently.

She had never experienced this before.

The toughest time she had was when she was accused of being a homewrecker.

She had always been the Great Ms.Quimbey that got whatever she wanted.

Even if she failed, she would still have countless opportunities to succeed.Her life had always been surrounded by happiness and luxury, and she had an innate sense of superiority.

She never expected to fall to such a low point in life.

The violent blow brought her back to reality.

Sean hated her so much that he did not care about killing Lance.

Why was Sean so unscrupulous? Yvette was confused, but she tried to calm herself down.

She whimpered helplessly as she prayed that Nicole, who received her call for help last night, could find a way to save her.

Suddenly, she vaguely heard the sound of a car engine.

Yvette got up and looked at the window.It was still the same car.

Sean came back again.

Yvette felt her heart turning cold and sinking, but the next second, she saw that the person who pushed open the door and got out of the car was not Sean.

It was a lady in her twenties.

The girl seemed to be aware of Yvette’s gaze and looked up.

Yvette frowned slightly and thought the girl looked familiar.She seemed to have seen her somewhere before.

Suddenly, Yvette had an epiphany.

Right! It was Tattle Bar! Yvette and Nicole used to frequent that bar.

If Yvette remembered correctly, this girl was one of the staff who sold drinks.

The reason why Yvette had an impression of her was that Nicole bought alcohol from her several times because she felt bad that this girl had to work so hard for tuition fees.

Her name was Melissa.

Melissa disappeared in a blink of an eye.

Yvette stood there in a daze and heard footsteps gradually approaching.

When Yvette looked back, Melissa pushed open the door and came in.

Melissa had some baby fat on her tender face.

She looked at Yvette with a smile.

“Ms.Quimbey, I was hired by Mr.Moore to take care of you.You can let me know if you need anything.”

Yvette stared at her and opened her mouth.The hope in her heart rekindled.

“Do you know me?” Melissa nodded.

Yvette gritted her teeth.

“Then can you let me out of here? Or can you help to call the police, or notify my family?”

She looked at Melissa expectantly.

Chapter 2117 Real Hell

Sean’s appearance made Melissa heave a sigh of relief.

Melissa took a step back to get out of the way.

However, her eyes held complicated emotions when she was standing behind him.

Melissa adored and admired Sean.

Yvette froze in place and looked wretched as usual.Her face was as pale as paper without a hint of color.

“Sean, what are you trying to do? If you want revenge because I dumped you back then, just kill me.Why do you want to torture me like this?”

“Torture? How is this torture? You haven’t seen real hell yet.” Sean’s tone was cold and sarcastic.

“Don’t you want to know if Lance is still alive? I’ll tell you.He was lucky and was rescued in time.But now, he has two broken ribs and he’s still unconscious.”

When Yvette heard Sean’s words, her relaxed body slowly stiffened again.

The light in her eyes flickered.

Yvette did not know whether to be sad or happy about it.

She really wanted to see Lance! Seeing the conflicting expression on her face, Sean felt inexplicably irked.

“It’s a good thing that he didn’t die.Yvette, if you don’t listen to me, I’ll make sure that he never wakes up again.”

Yvette abruptly raised her head and stared at him with angry eyes.

“What gives you the right to be so lawless?!” Sean laughed lightly.

“Well, I call the shots here, so you have to learn to adapt.Otherwise, I have plenty of ways to train disobedient women.”

Sean pinched her chin to see her angry face.It was as if he could crush her to death with just a little bit of force.

After he finished speaking, he turned around, passed by the door, and looked at Melissa expressionlessly.

“Since she’s not behaving, you don’t need to feed her tonight.Just lock the door and get some rest.” Melissa nodded with a smile.

After Sean left, Melissa’s eyes were still glued to him.

Yvette suppressed her emotions.

She knew that she should not have a mental breakdown at this moment.

As long as Lance was still alive, she had to live.

There was hope as long as she was alive.She could see Lance if she left this place.

Yvette covered her face and took a deep breath.She looked sideways at Melissa, who was closing the door.

“Are you with him?” Her voice was hoarse but calm enough.

Melissa thought this sentence had another meaning and nodded shyly.

Yvette pursed her lips and looked at her with complex eyes.

“You were still a student when you were working at the bar.Why do you want to hang around with people like him? Did you quit school?”

Since Melissa could not help her, Yvette thought she should learn more about the enemy’s situation.Sean’s patience would be exhausted if Yvette kept cursing at him all day.

What would she do if he decided not to tie her up and wanted to kill her instead? Melissa paused in her movements.Her expression was indescribably subtle.

“I can’t afford tuition.My mother took my student loan and gave it to my brother, so I had nowhere to go.Fortunately, Mr.Moore saved me.” Yvette snorted.

“Why would he be so kind? He treats you as a nanny anyway.”

Melissa shook her head, opened her mouth, and wanted to explain that she was not a nanny.

However, after some thought, Melissa had only slept with Sean that once, and he never looked for her again.

Although Sean gave her a generous remuneration and a stable job, she was invisible to him.

However, Melissa thought it was enough to see him from a distance.

When Melissa was called over to take care of Ms.

Quimbey, she knew that Mr.Moore treated Ms.

Quimbey differently.

“Ms.Quimbey, Mr.Moore is a very good person.He won’t be angry if you talk to him properly.” Melissa said patiently.

Yvette laughed and snorted.

“He’s a good person? You’re all deceived by him! He’s not even human!”

Sean was not there anyway, so Yvette would curse him however she liked.

Melissa pressed her lips together, looked at Yvette, and said, “Anyway, he’s a good person.Ms.Quimbey, you can’t eat tonight, but what would you like to eat tomorrow morning?”

Yvette was furious.How could she have the appetite? She turned her face away.

“I don’t want to eat.”

Melissa lowered her eyes, turned her head, and left silently.

Downstairs.

Two tall men — one fat and one thin — came in.

A smile appeared on Melissa’s face.

The thin man happily ran over.

“Ms.Melissa, I knew you’d come back!”

When Melissa heard this address, she lowered her head shyly and remained silent.

The fat man punched the thin man’s shoulder and coughed.

“Is the boss back?” Melissa nodded.

“He went back to his room.What do you guys want to eat? I’ll cook for you?”

The thin man rubbed his hands and winked at her.

“Since the boss is back in his room, what are you still doing here? Hurry up and serve him!”

Seeing how straightforward he was, Melissa could not help but blush.She lowered her head and felt embarrassed.

“Don’t say that.Mr.Moore didn’t ask me to go over and told me to take care of Ms.Quimbey.”

The fat man glared at him.

“That’s right.Don’t make a mess.If the boss gets angry, you’re done for!”

The thin man curled his lips in dissatisfaction.

“I’m not wrong.The boss only wants Ms.Quimbey because he couldn’t get her.Ms.Quimbey is married and likes to ignore the boss, but he spent so much effort to bring her back.If it were up to me, I’d create an accident and kill their whole family to get revenge.The boss insisted on bringing her back, so he must’ve wanted to subdue her.Look at Melissa! She’s also his woman.She’s well-mannered and obedient.Melissa, if you work hard, you’ll become our lady boss in the future.We don’t want a divorced woman to become our lady boss!”

Melissa’s face flushed red as the thin man spoke in a suggestive tone.

Chapter 2118 Just Testing the Waters

Sean only slept with Melissa because she was sent to his bed when he was drugged.

After the deed, Sean paid off Melissa’s debt and found a job for her.

There was nothing more between them.

However, to Sean’s subordinates and especially Lex, they had long thought that Sean must have liked Melissa since he slept with her.They thought that Yvette, who liked to hook up with men before she was married, still did not reel it in after marriage.

To them, Yvette was just another prostitute with a better background.

Yvette was nothing compared to a pure college student like Melissa.

Thus, Lex looked at Yvette lewdly, but he would not contaminate Melissa.

When Lex heard what Sean said, he was obviously shocked and looked at Sean in a panic.

“Boss, you know that’s not what I meant.How could you give Melissa to me?” Melissa stood beside him.

Her face was pale, and she bit down on her lips so hard that they were about to bleed.She remained silent.

Sean ignored Lex and looked straight at Melissa.

“What do you think?”

Although it was a question, Sean did not actually mean to ask for her opinion.Melissa also knew that this was not up for discussion.She did not know how to answer, so she just kept her head down in silence.

Tate, who was standing on the side, saw that the situation was not right and kicked the skinny Lex behind the knee.

With a thud, the thin man knelt down.

Tate said with a smile, “This stupid donkey must’ve had too much free time recently that he has time to think about nonsense.He only has eyes for women.Boss, why don’t you let Lex deliver the goods this time?”

Lex looked up at Tate in surprise.

“Tate, you…” Tate glared at Lex fiercely.

Lex knelt there for a while and did not know what to say.He was also observing Sean’s expression.

Sean glanced at Lex coldly.

There was no trace of warmth in his voice as he said, “The old master hasn’t made a move yet, so I’ll let you know who will deliver the goods when the time comes.”

Tate thought about it and continued this topic.

“Boss, the old master trusts you more now, but he still refuses to take you to see his higher-ups.Is it because he’s afraid that you’ll steal his credit? Or does he not trust you enough?”

Lex was spirited when he heard this and was about to speak, but Sean gave him a look.Everyone immediately understood that look.Melissa stood there and pursed her lips.

“I’m going to cook first.”

She returned to the kitchen, and the others breathed a sigh of relief.Sean looked at Lex and said in a cold tone, “If you keep running your mouth, I won’t give you another chance and leave you to the old master.He will naturally have his way of dealing with you.”

Lex smiled ingratiatingly and said, “Boss, I know my mistake…”

Sean withdrew his gaze and raised his chin.Lex hurriedly stood up.

Only then did Sean answer Tate’s question slowly.

“Whether he’s doubtful of me or afraid that I’ll steal his credit, what I want to know most is the person behind the old master.”

As long as he knew who was backing the old master, he could overthrow the old master and take his position.Then, he could truly occupy half of the underground kingdom instead of just becoming the old master’s puppet.

Tate pondered for a moment and said slowly, “Boss, we’ve analyzed it before.

The person behind the old master is either a high-ranking official or a wealthy businessman.But it’s most likely a wealthy businessman who can help the old master launder money.

So, Ferguson Corporation and Stanton Corporation are the most likely candidates.Is that why you brought Ms.Quimbey here? Are you just testing the waters?”

Tate was suddenly enlightened. Sean raised his eyelids, but his expression did not change much. Silence meant that he admitted to it.Lex suddenly widened his eyes.

“So that’s what it is! Boss, why didn’t you tell me sooner? I really thought you had an obsession with Ms.Quimbey!”

Tate chuckled lightly.

“Why would the boss tell you his idea? The boss deliberately allowed Ms.Quimbey to run into the bedroom so that she could make an emergency call just so he could test it out.That way, we can see who’s trying to save her openly and secretly, right?”

Sean finally lifted his eyelids and glanced at Tate with some admiration in his eyes.

“If the people behind the old master are the Stantons or the Fergusons, they will definitely come to me through the old master.When the time comes, it’ll be easier to get close to them.Eric seemed to be a law-abiding citizen on the surface, but that’s only because he cleans up so well that no one could catch him.When I was doing business with him back then, I had to show him respect if I wanted to cooperate with him.His power was not as simple as it seemed.As for Stanton Corporation, Grant desperately moved toward brighter routes in order to leave his sister with a clean company.Who knows what kind of skeletons will be in his closet? Both of them are somewhat related to Yvette and Angie.Since Angie is dead, Yvette is our only bait.”

Yvette was also the best bait.

Nicole would not let anything happen to Yvette.

The Quimbeys and the Sheldons were closely related to Ferguson Corporation, so regardless of which aspect, they would involve Ferguson Corporation.

No matter how they looked at it, this was a very good move.

The thin Lex nodded with sudden realization.

However, he turned to look at Sean in confusion.

“Boss, if you want to test them, why don’t you just kidnap the heiress of Stanton Corporation? She’s the President of Stanton Corporation and the ex-wife of Eric Ferguson, so no matter how I see it, I think she’s the most suitable candidate!”

Sean’s eyes turned cold and stern.

Tate, who was on the side, looked at Lex with a meaningful smile.

“If you kidnap her today, we’ll get blown to smithereens before the old master could speak.Whoever dares to touch that woman will die.Her husband isn’t one to be trifled with.If you don’t believe me, you can give it a try…”

As soon as he said that, Lex’s expression changed.He smiled sheepishly.

“Are you trying to get me killed? If the boss doesn’t dare to touch her, how would I have the guts?”

Tate snorted lightly, turned his head, and continued to say to Sean.

“Boss, there’s no movement from those two so far.All their attention is on Lance.We don’t know when we’ll get news from them either.I’m also afraid that the old master will find out our motives!”

Chapter 2119 Is He Better Than Me?

In the next second, Sean just stood up and glanced at them.

“You guys can eat.I have something else to do.”

Melissa looked at his back as he went upstairs and felt disheartened.Disappointment was written all over her face because she cooked this meal with all her heart.Tate called her over.

“Melissa, come and eat with us.Don’t be a stranger.” Melissa forced a smile and walked over.

“Maybe Mr.Moore isn’t used to my cooking.I have to improve myself.”

Lex smiled and said, “No need! The boss has always been very picky.Unless his meals are made by special chefs, he won’t eat them.”

Melissa’s face changed slightly, and she smiled embarrassedly.

“Really?”

Upstairs.

Yvette squatted in the corner and looked like she had lost her mind.She looked so wretched and listless.She trembled when Sean pushed open the door and came in, but she did not say a word.

Sean raised his eyebrows, walked over, took out a sharp knife at his waist, and cut off the rope at her feet.Yvette looked at him in surprise and vigilance.

“What do you want to do?”

When their eyes met, Sean lowered his head and pointed in the direction of the bathroom.

“Go take a shower and change your clothes.I don’t want you to stink up the room, then I’ll have to trouble Melissa to come in and clean up after you.”

Yvette gritted her teeth, stared at him deadly for a second, and stood up against the wall.She had not eaten for a day, so she felt dizzy when she stood up.

A hand next to her held her arm so tightly that it could break her wrist.

Yvette felt the pain and winced.

Sean immediately let go of her and sneered.

“After all this time, you’re still so squeamish.”

Yvette glared at him and walked toward the bathroom with disgust and anger.Sean’s eyes sank.

When Yvette closed the door, a hand suddenly blocked her way.

“what else do you want?”

Sean had a lustful smile on his face as he said, “I’ll help you wash up.”

“No need.”

“It’s not that I haven’t helped you wash up before.I want to help refresh your memory of our past.”

After that, Sean carried Yvette and placed her on top of the sink. A forceful kiss soon followed.

Sean was aggressive.He was more reckless and impatient than he was back then.However, the more saddening change was that there was no longer any warmth in his eyes.

Instead, his eyes were so dark and deep that she could not read him.

Even when he was at a high, his eyes were always like those of a poisonous snake.It was as if he could kill someone anytime, anywhere.It was useless no matter how much Yvette cried or struggled.

The more she struggled, the rougher he was.He did not care for her enjoyment at all.

Back then, they had sex because they were emotionally attached, so they both enjoyed it.

Now, they were just torturing each other.

After multiple times and hours, Yvette was in a trance.Her voice was hoarse, and her whole body was sore as if someone had peeled off her skin.She seemed to feel that Sean helped her take a bath and put her on the bed.

He did not leave and lay beside her.

When she was about to fal] asleep, she heard his gruff voice lingering in her ears.

“Is he better than me? How can you actually fall in love with him, Yvette? But now, you’re finally back at my side.”

It was a night without dreams.Yvette finally had a good sleep after the huge shock and panic.She slept soundly that night because she was exhausted.The man next to her had been looking at her for a long time.The emotions in his eyes fluctuated.

Finally, he sighed and lay down beside her.

When Yvette opened her eyes again, there was no one around her.

The room was empty.

Yvette got up abruptly.To her surprise, the rope that bound her feet was gone.She jumped off the bed as if she was freed.

The next second, the door opened.Yvette’s smile instantly stiffened.

The one who opened the door was Melissa.She came in with a bowl of oatmeal and some side dishes.

“Ms.Quimbey, you must be hungry.Eat something before you go back to sleep.”

Yvette froze as if someone had punched her in the chest.She felt stuffy and hurt.

Yvette was still trapped in the same situation and had to be told when to eat.She did not want to eat their food, but she did not want to die here either.

Lance was not dead yet.She had to go out alive and find Lance because she owed him too much.

Yvette no longer treated Lance as a mere partner in their marriage of convenience that she could rely on.

Lance’s tolerance and love softened Yvette’s heart and changed her.She had fallen for her husband long ago.

It was just she thought she had all the time in the world to express her long-lasting love to him.

However, seeing her current situation, Yvette regretted it.

Yvette always caused all kinds of trouble, and Lance taught her to handle things while he taught her to be a better person.

Lance was such a gentle and pure person.

Besides making money, he would spend time coaxing her.

However, he was in a coma because of her.

How could Yvette be at ease? At that thought, Yvette looked up at the person standing at the door.

“Fine, I’ll eat.”

Melissa smiled, walked in, and saw that Yvette had changed into a brand new dress.

However, there were a lot of love bites on Yvette’s chest that seemed to explain the noise she heard last night.

Melissa quickly lowered her head to hide her gaze.

She forced herself not to look, and her smile was a little forced and pale.

“You haven’t eaten for a day, so you can’t eat greasy food.Have some oatmeal to fill your stomach, and I’ll cook whatever you feel like eating at noon.”

Yvette looked at her and frowned slightly.She inadvertently thought of the exposed marks on her chest and felt disgusted, so she lifted her dress to cover up.She sat on the ground and saw that the bowl and spoon were made of stainless steel.

Chapter 2120 His Women

Yvette raised her head stiffly and looked at Melissa in disbelief.

It was not because of what Melissa said about Yvette, but what Melissa said before that - money laundering, drug dealing, and underground brothels.

Was Sean involved in all these now? Yvette’s heart froze.It felt like the blood in her body was slowly coagulating.No wonder Sean was so supercilious and unscrupulous.He disregarded the law by breaking into Yvette’s home, beating them up, robbing them, and imprisoning her.

It turned out that Sean had long infringed the law.He took a path of no return.It was because of this news that Yvette completely panicked.

If Sean was fearless, how could Yvette leave? Melissa smiled and comforted Yvette.

"Ms.Quimbey, since you’ re already here, just stay here obediently.It'll be better for you to listen to him.We can only survive if we obey him." Yvette’s heart thudded.

Her face turned pale, and she slowly moved her gaze up to Melissa’s face.She frowned and said, "We? What's your relationship with him?"

Yvette only noticed after the fact that Melissa’s expression was different at the mention of Sean.

Yvette thought that she was so stupid and careless.

How could a promising college student forgo her bright future to stay with Sean just because he helped her? Melissa would only do so if they were in an intimate relationship.

Sure enough, Melissa lowered her head shyly and looked at Yvette timidly.

"My relationship with him is just like yours.But don’t worry, I won’t do anything to you.I’m just happy to stay by his side.There used to be a lot of women here, but as soon as you came, Mr.Moore kicked everyone out.It’s only you and me here now, so I'll take good care of you."

Yvette’s heart kept sinking like it was falling into an abyss.She felt terribly cold.She also felt nauseated and wanted to throw up the meal she had earlier.

Seeing Melissa’s innocent face, Yvette felt a chill in her heart.

Yvette opened her mouth but did not know what to say.She did not know whether she should condemn such an ignorant but "tolerant" Melissa or condemn Sean, the perpetrator.

Yvette sneered.She thought that Sean was in pain because he hated her so much for dumping him. When Yvette found out that Sean had more than one woman around him, she thought, ‘What right does Sean have to hate me so much?’ They had already ended things, so why did Sean have to disrupt her peaceful life? Seeing Yvette’s helpless and shocked face, Melissa blinked innocently.

"Ms.Quimbey, are you alright?"

Yvette gave her a complicated and deep look and pursed her lips.

"You're his woman, so why are you so generous to let me stay here? Aren’t you afraid that I'll make Sean kick you out?"

Melissa’s face turned pale in horror.

"Ms.Quimbey, don't worry.I know that Mr.Moore likes you the most, so I won’t fight with you.I just want to stay by his side."

Looking at Melissa, Yvette seemed to see a reflection of herself when she was with Sean a few years ago.

Was Yvette also that reckless? No, she was not.

At that time, Yvette was completely kept in the dark.

Yvette felt torn apart from the inside and was extremely uncomfortable.

Melissa saw that Yvette was not in the mood to continue eating, so she packed up the cutlery and was about to leave.

Suddenly, Yvette stopped her.

"Your silk scarf is very beautiful.Can you lend it to me? I don’t even know whose dress I’m wearing.It’s too revealing."

The marks Sean left on Yvette’s body were very obvious.If she wore a scarf, it would cover those traces.

Melissa looked at Yvette, lowered her head, put the tableware on the ground, then took off her silk scarf and handed it to Yvette.

Yvette smiled and took it over.

When Melissa bent over to take the tableware, Yvette suddenly stepped forward.Her eyes narrowed as she strangled Melissa’s neck with the silk scarf from behind.

Melissa struggled in horror, but Yvette used all her strength to pin her down.

Yvette’s eyes were scarlet and cold as she stared at Melissa and wrapped the silk scarf around her neck.

"Don’t blame me.I didn’t want to hurt you, but you and Sean are on the same side.I don’t want your generosity.You can stay in this hellhole by yourself!"

Melissa looked terrified, but Yvette did not hesitate to slam her elbow against Melissa's head.

Melissa’s head hit the floor, and her face turned pale.

Gradually, Melissa lost her strength to struggle and collapsed.

Yvette took a deep breath and quickly got up from Melissa.She reached under Melissa's nose with her trembling hand.

Fortunately, Melissa still had a faint breath.She was not dead.

Phew.

Yvette was afraid that she would accidentally murder someone.She did not want to become someone like Sean.

After she calmed down, Yvette stripped off Melissa’s clothes without hesitation and wore them.

Then, she took the quilt off the bed and covered Melissa with it.

Yvette did not have time to dress Melissa.She just wanted to take this opportunity to get out of there.It was rare that Yvette could think so fast on her feet.

Since yesterday, Yvette had observed that besides Sean, there were two other men and Melissa in the villa.

Yvette was initially deliberating whether there would be other people somewhere nearby.

However, Melissa told her that many women lived in the villa before Yvette came.

Thus, Yvette boldly guessed that there was no one else around.

This was a great opportunity.

Yvette imitated Melissa's look.She tied her hair back in a ponytail and put on Melissa’s jeans, white shirt, and silk scarf.She looked so innocent.

From the back, Yvette and Melissa were about the same size.

Even if someone saw her, they would not be able to tell if it was her or Melissa.

Yvette covered her chest and tried to calm herself down.Her heart was pounding so hard that it felt like it would jump out of her chest.Before leaving, Yvette glanced at Melissa, who was lying on the floor, and left without hesitation.

Yvette ran downstairs, which was quiet and empty.

There was no phone anywhere.

Yvette ran out apprehensively and checked her surroundings carefully.

There was nothing special about this villa, and there were no cars outside.

Sean had taken the car.

Yvette was about to run out to take a taxi when she suddenly saw an inconspicuous old electric bike leaning against the front gate of the villa.

She ran over excitedly, but there was no key in the ignition.

Yvette’s heart sank in disappointment.

She suddenly remembered something and felt around Melissa's jeans pockets.

Sure enough, there was a small key inside.

Yvette was so pleasantly surprised and plugged the key into the ignition.

It was just the right fit! She had not ridden an electric bike before, but she knew how to ride a bicycle, which was probably about the same.

Yvette rubbed her hands, went up, and fell two or three times in a row.

Her arms were bleeding, but she dared not delay a moment and gradually got used to it as she rode carefully to the hospital.She wanted to see Lance as soon as possible.

When she got to the hospital, Yvette did not ask for directions and went straight to the VIP floor.

Strange enough, there were no bodyguards on that floor.

However, Yvette did not think too much about it.She looked for Lance in every room and finally found him in the ward down the corridor.

Yvette excitedly pushed the door open and went in.
