Ch. 2121..2130

Chapter 2121 She Saw Yvette

Yvette saw the dying person lying on the bed.

The man who used to be able to carry her on his shoulders with one hand now had tubes and wires connected all over his body.She stood there and carefully held Lance’s hand.Her tears fell uncontrollably.

This was the first time she felt such a heart-wrenching pain.The silent pain was like being stabbed a million times.It was indescribable.It was nothing at all like the pain she had experienced before.

At this moment, the grievances and guilt that Yvette held back overwhelmed her.She wished that she could suffer and die on his behalf.

Yvette regretted that she had been so unrestrained before she met Lance because Lance now had to bear all the consequences.

Lance could have married a gentle and kind girl and lived the rest of his life in wealth and power. Why did he happen to meet Yvette? Yvette cried as she sat there.

Suddenly, the hand she clasped seemed to twitch.She paused slightly and wiped away her tears. "Hubby, are you awake? I’ll get a doctor for you." She was about to push the door open, but when she saw the person outside, she instantly froze in place.Sean and his subordinates were waiting for her outside.

They were looking at her as if they were watching a good show.

Sean’s face was gloomy, and his eyes were like ice.He pushed open the door and walked in, looking at the man on the bed with undisguised viciousness.

"Have you cried enough? Come with me once you’re done." Yvette's chest trembled fiercely.Her tears fell uncontrollably, so much so that she could not wipe them away.

Yvette wanted to control herself, but she could not help it.She could not calm down when facing Sean.

They were in a confrontation when Yvette suddenly heard cluttered footsteps outside.

Was it the bodyguards or the doctors? Her expression changed as she ran out in desperation.

As long as someone saw her, she would be able to break away from Sean’s grip.However, in the next second, Sean said slowly in a hoarse and threatening voice, "Yvette, look..."

Yvette suddenly froze.

When she turned around, she saw Sean pulling out Lance’s life support with bloodshot eyes.Sean’s subordinates also joined Sean when they saw this.

The medical instruments in the ward were pushed to the ground.

Those that could not be overturned were smashed with force.

Yvette stood there in shock and watched as Lance’s face gradually turned blue.He could not breathe.Her heart clenched as if it was stabbed, and she ran back in horror.

"Stop! Stop..." Yvette could not watch Lance die in front of her.

The moment she pounced over, Sean grabbed her hands.

His eyes had a dangerous gloom as he looked at her indifferently.

"Come with me obediently.If you dare to alert people, I won’t mind letting you see how he dies."

Yvette lost all hope and only felt her ears ringing with pain.Sean forcibly held her as they walked out silently.

Yvette’s eyes blurred as she looked back.She seemed to be getting further and further away from Lance.

Sean led Yvette and his subordinates to hide in the stairwell.

When the doctors ran into Sean’s ward, Sean dragged Yvette into the freight elevator.

On the side opposite the freight elevator was the common elevator.

Just as the freight elevator doors closed slowly and left a small gap, Yvette’s eyes flickered.

Yvette seemed to lock eyes with the person inside the common elevator.

"Yvette..."

Nicole was shocked and wanted to run over.

However, in the next second, before Yvette could say anything, a big hand tightly covered her mouth.

The freight elevator door closed, and the elevator descended.

Yvette’s only hope was once again cut off.

Nicole stood there and frantically pressed the button to the freight elevator.

However, this freight elevator just would not stop.

Nicole was so anxious and said to the person next to her, "I saw Yvette!"

Some experts from abroad were following Clayton, who frowned slightly and said, "Were you mistaken? When we came out, the door of the freight elevator was already closed..."

"No, I saw Yvette at that moment! It was really her! She was here!"

Nicole tugged on Clayton’s arm and said incoherently, "Get someone to stop them downstairs!"

Clayton nodded.He led the experts in and took out his phone.

After he arranged everything, he went to calm Nicole down.

"Don’t worry.If it’s really her, it means she’s safe now because she can still show up here."

After Clayton finished speaking, he clicked his tongue.

"Why didn’t she call the police or contact her family?" Nicole’s face turned pale.

There was a commotion coming from Lance's ward, so they went over to take a look.

Lance, who was lying on the hospital bed, had a blueish face, and the expensive medical equipment in the ward was smashed and rendered unusable.

The doctors were trying to resuscitate Lance while the nurses pushed the hospital bed to another room.

Nicole gave way to them and looked shocked.

"What’s wrong with Yvette? Who kidnapped her?"

Although Yvette had a bad temper, she would not offend people easily.

However, looking at the situation now, Nicole thought that the people Yvette offended were certainly not ordinary.

Those people came to kill.It was frightening.

Clayton frowned.He looked solemn and stern.

There was another group that suddenly rose to power.

It was just that Clayton tried to stay clean and did not want to get involved in shady businesses in Mediania, so he never tried to investigate deeper.

Clayton would not do anything to others if they did not offend him.He just wanted to take good care of Nicole.

He would not even intervene if Yvette was not Nicole’s best friend.

In the past few days, Clayton had never left Nicole’s side.

"Don’t worry.We have already contacted Mrs.Quimbey, and we'll do our best to help her."

As he spoke, his phone rang.Clayton picked it up, frowned slightly, responded briefly, and hung up.

"My people downstairs said that no stranger was in the freight elevator.It was just the hospital’s janitor, not Yvette.You might have been mistaken because you haven’t slept well these days ever since Yvette went missing.Baby, let’s go back first?" Nicole frowned.

Her heart was in turmoil.She clearly saw Yvette earlier.

How could she be mistaken? Clayton held Nicole's shoulders and walked out while he coaxed her.

"Don’t worry, Lance will be fine.The police are standing guard here, and I'll tell them to strengthen their defense with the Sheldon family’s bodyguards.This kind of thing won’t happen again.Don’t be anxious.Didn’t Chatty say that she wants chocolate? Shall we buy some for her?"

Clayton did not tell Nicole about what happened.His people downstairs did not see anyone because those people most likely got off the elevator halfway.

Nicole frowned slightly.Her attention was diverted because of Clayton.

"She can’t eat so many sweets, else she'll get cavities!"

Clayton laughed and followed her wishes.

"Okay, then we won’t buy it." The couple went downstairs.

Nicole glanced at the freight elevator and suddenly thought of something.

"There should be surveillance cameras inside the elevator, right?"

Clayton knew that Nicole would not give up without trying.Thus, he could only take her to the security room.

The security personnel shook his head and said, "The surveillance camera in the freight elevator broke down a month ago and hasn’t been repaired yet!"

Chapter 2122 You’re No Different From Them

Nicole looked at Clayton expectantly.

"Isn’t that suspicious?" Clayton stroked her hair and shook his head helplessly.

"You're just being paranoid.It happened over a month ago.Who would’ve thought Lance would be hospitalized here?" Nicole pouted and was speechless.

On the way back, Clayton’s idea made Nicole feel slightly better.

Nicole smiled. She was really apprehensive lately because of what happened with Yvette.

Mrs.Quimbey was a strong career woman, yet she put aside all her work and cooperated with the police’s investigation.

However, there was still no result.

There was still no hint of what the perpetrators’ motives were. As of the third day after Yvette went missing and Lance was hospitalized, they still did not make any progress.

Clayton was unwilling to delve into this matter, nor did he want Nicole to dig deeper into it.

The main reason was that Clayton had already noticed this matter involved the underground drug trade.

Clayton did not want to touch this area, especially not for Yvette, because she was not worth the risk.He just wanted to be together with Nicole in peace.

However, Nicole was too nice to Yvette, so Clayton could not stay out of it completely.

Clayton would still do according to Nicole’s wishes sometimes.

Clayton had a feeling that the perpetrators were not after him and Nicole, so why should he meddle in this matter? Nicole did not sleep well for two days.

At that moment, she leaned on Clayton’s shoulder and fell asleep.

Clayton sighed and instructed the driver in a low voice, "Drive slowly and steadily."

"Yes, sir."

Lance’s mother, Fiona, had already told Yvette’s mother what happened.

Mrs.Quimbey was watching the police’s movements while Fiona watched over Lance’s safety.

Fiona just went out to buy something, yet her son almost lost his life again.

This made her feel mentally exhausted.

Mrs.Quimbey rushed over when she heard what happened.

Fiona sat outside the emergency room and cried.

When she saw Mrs.Quimbey walking over, she wiped away her tears and said, "Didn’t I tell you that I’m fine? Why did you come over?"

Mrs.Quimbey sighed.

"How can I be at ease? Where’s the police? Don’t they have officers standing guard here? How could this happen?" Fiona sighed and choked up.

"They said that the plainclothes officers were changing shifts and happened to spot a fugitive at that time, so they left their post." Mrs.Quimbey looked furious.

"That’s ridiculous! How could they not leave someone behind to protect Lance?!" Fiona took her friend’s hand.

"Forget it.The doctor came out earlier and said they managed to save Lance.If they found out any later, the lack of oxygen to the brain would make Lance paralyzed."

Mrs.Quimbey had a complex and anxious expression.

"I don’t know what kind of people that brat offended! There's been no news from her. If you hadn’t gone over to visit them on New Year’s Eve..."

No one would know if Lance died at home.Fiona was heartbroken.She sighed and persuaded Mrs.Quimbey.

"Although Yvette has a flamboyant personality, she’s just a bubbly person and not a troublemaker.She doesn’t have anything to do with Lance’s incident.She’s also a victim, and her whereabouts are still unknown, so stop scolding her!"

Mrs.Quimbey looked grateful and guilty.

"I feel sorry for you guys that she married Lance."

"What are you talking about? I really like Yvette.She’s not pretentious, and I can see how hard she works.Lance and Yvette plan to spend the rest of their lives together.Now, the most important thing is to find Yvette.I hope nothing happened to her." Mrs.Quimbey also nodded worriedly.

Yvette was taken back to that villa.

Sean brought her in with a grim expression.The thin man behind Sean was indignant.

"This woman delayed today’s trade! The old master will be angry."

Tate shot Lex a warning look, and Lex shut up instantly because he worried about the outsiders present.Sean stared at Yvette, who was thrown on the sofa.

Melissa, who was fully clothed and sitting on the sofa, sobbed in grievance.

When she saw them, she immediately stood up.

"You guys are back!"

Sean ignored Melissa and only stared at Yvette as he suppressed the anger in his heart.

"you're really something, huh? You actually went to the hospital to check if your husband is dead? Didn’t I warn you that you have to stay here obediently if you don’t want him to die?"

Yvette’s face was pale at first, but she gradually eased her emotions.Her glimmering eyes looked very stubborn.

"Why shouldn't I run? Who do you think you are? You've had an endless stream of women by your side after I got married.It’s not like you haven’t slept with a woman or two in this villa.You even slept with the nanny, who used to be a college student.Why are you pretending to be a victim when you’re the predator? Sean, I know who you are.You're a drug dealer now and dabble in money and sex trade.You kidnapped me only because you wanted to humiliate me like one of your prostitutes.You destroyed my marriage and ruined everything for me.You probably want me to disappear from this world.This is how you find your own sense of existence, right?!"

Yvette shouted at him in a fit of anger and was greeted with a fiery slap on the face.The villa was dead silent.

There seemed to be no sound at all.Yvette covered her ashen face and looked at him with indescribable hatred and disgust in her eyes.

There was no longer any trace of warmth from when they were dating.He dared to hit a woman.

What a scumbag! Sean stood there with a glum face and clenched fists, but his stern eyes were looking at Melissa.

"You told her?" Sean yelled coldly, which made Melissa shudder in fear.

His eyes were bloodshot and scarlet as if he was going to eat someone.

Melissa stood there with a torn expression.Her lips turned white with fright.

"I...I didn’t mean to.I just wanted to develop a good relationship with Ms.Quimbey."

Sean’s eyes were filled with indescribable anger.It felt as if his mask was torn apart, and his ugliest side was exposed.He did not want that.

Apart from the tears in Yvette’s lofty eyes, there was also disgust and hatred for him.It was as if she was looking at a rotten corpse in a stinky ditch.

Sean was hurt by Yvette.He stared at Melissa indifferently and did not feel any pity for her. "Get out of here now!"

Melissa looked at Tate and Lex for help in an attempt to ask them to speak for her.However, Lex did not dare to provoke Sean at this time.

Even if Lex had no brains, he would not dare to stir trouble at this moment.

Tate sighed, looked at Melissa, and said, "Melissa, I'll walk you out."

Melissa looked regretful.She bit her lower lip and looked at Yvette again, then she wiped away her tears with shame and ran out.

Lex was also tactful enough to chase after Melissa. The living room fell silent again.

Sean tried his best to suppress his anger.His eyes flickered when he saw the marks on Yvette’s face.However, the annoyance in his eyes disappeared quickly. "There’s nothing else I can say now that you know.I’m like this now and do all kinds of evil.Are you satisfied? Don’t think that I won’t lay hands on you, Yvette.To me, you’re no different from those women!"

Chapter 2123 Who Was He to Lecture Her?

Yvette sneered, raised her head, and looked straight at Sean.

"Don’t think that you ended up like this because I dumped you.You’re not that fragile.Back then, you were unfaithful while you were still married to your ex-wife.This shows that you’re a scumbag! I fell in love with you back then because I was deceived, but I wasn’t blind and finally found someone I could marry.On the other hand, you made excuses to stoop so low.Drug dealing, women, money, and sex are all temptations that made you like this! Why did you bring me here? Is it so I can witness your incomparably glorious moment? Or are you irritated that I didn’t choose you, so you want to destroy me?"

Yvette looked at Sean bluntly and exposed his darkest thoughts.

"Admit it, Sean! You’re not trying to get back together with me.You’re just trying to satisfy your own vanity! The police will arrest you soon, and I’m waiting for the day you get the death sentence!"

After she said that, Sean took a step forward, strangled Yvette’s neck with one hand and lifted her up.There was a sinister look in his eyes.

Every word she said made him feel like strangling her.

"Yvette, don’t force me.You know I’m not that kind of person."

Sean’s eyes were red and dangerous.He was not as bad as she said he was.

Sean was forced into a marriage of convenience.He cheated because he could not hold back his feelings for Yvette.He did all these illegal things because he was cornered.

Every step he took was risky.

Why was he so lacking in Yvette’s eyes? Yvette sneered.Her eyes were full of contempt.She raised her chin and looked at him.

"What? Do you dare say that you’re a faithful man? Did you not sleep with anyone when we weren't together? Haven’t you slept with Melissa?"

Her voice was hoarse, and her tone was somewhat mocking and decisive.

If he admitted it, Yvette would mock his hypocrisy.

If he denied it, Yvette would mock his character.

What was so wrong for Yvette to get married? When Yvette met the right person for her, she wanted to live an upright life.

What right did Sean have to lecture her? How was he clean? So, why was Sean pretending to be a faithful man in their distorted relationship? Facing Yvette’s contempt, Sean let go of his hand as if he was stabbed.

Yvette panted heavily as she sat on the sofa and clutched her sore neck.

Sean would not let Yvette die so easily.

Otherwise, why would he bring her back in such a tortuous way? Sean’s expression was stiff as he looked at her with dark and deep eyes.

He looked hurt.

However, Yvette was not bothered to look at him.

Soon, Sean resumed his indifferent and hostile expression.He looked stern, aggressive, and domineering.

"You care so much about the women around me.Are you jealous or angry?"

His eyes were fixed on her.

Yvette sneered.

"Sean, do you think I’m very open when it comes to relationships? I wouldn’t have been so depressed if you were another person.I’m just afraid that you'll give me STDs!"

There was undisguised disgust in her eyes as if she was looking at a piece of garbage.

Sean was shocked.He narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at her with surging anger.His bad mood was uncontrollable.He grabbed Yvette’s arm and walked upstairs.His voice was extremely cold as he said, "You guessed it right.I have STDs and I want to infect you!"

Sean brought Yvette to the same room and the same bed.He stripped naked and went straight to it.

Sean seemed to only care about venting his frustration and treated Yvette as an ordinary woman.He was taking revenge on what she just said in his own way.

There was a huge disparity in strength between men and women, so Yvette soon lost to him.

Her eyes were swollen from crying so much, and her voice was hoarse.

After the ordeal, they were back to square one.

In a daze, Yvette seemed to feel an icy touch on her burning face.It was as if a volcano that was about to erupt was doused by ice water.

The anxiety and uneasiness in her heart also eased.

Sean changed his clothes and went downstairs.He saw that Lex and Tate were sitting in the living room.

They were his subordinates who followed him in this business from the very beginning.

Thus, he had always valued and trusted them.

They were homeless and often lived with Sean.

They lived in villas and nightclubs and would follow Sean wherever he went.

Only now, there was another woman besides them - Melissa.

Melissa sat opposite Tate and Lex with red and swollen eyes.She looked aggrieved, guilty, and uneasy.

"Boss, you’re here!"

Lex guessed that Sean was in a better mood after venting out his anger.He touched his head and quickly handed over a cigarette to Sean.

Sean glanced at him, took the cigarette, and sat on the main seat.

Lex hurriedly helped him light the cigarette in one slick move.

Sean taking the cigarette indicated that he was no longer angry.

Lex raised his eyebrows and shot a look at Tate and Melissa.

"Boss, did Ms.Quimbey create any trouble?"

Tate frowned and asked, "Actually, you can just tell her if you really like her.Those women were just for show, and you’ve never touched any of them.You only slept with Melissa because you were drugged..."

"Enough!"

Sean’s face was gloomy.It was fine if Tate did not mention it.

At the mention of this, Sean instantly felt stuffy and unpleasant.

Melissa stood up in a tangle and tugged on her shirt.She looked embarrassed.

"I’m sorry, Mr.Moore.It’s all my fault.I’m willing to explain to Ms.Quimbey.I didn't think of letting her misunderstand our relationship."

Sean’s eyes were indifferent as he looked at her.

"I asked you to leave, so why are you back here? I found a job for you and gave you a sum of money.I didn’t treat you badly.You should go back to school and get married!"

Melissa’s face instantly turned pale.She had no expectations of him.

However, being able to stay by his side was already her greatest wish.

When she heard Sean saying all that so bluntly, she felt even more embarrassed for what she had done.

"Mr.Moore, I don’t have any other intentions.I just wanted to stay here to thank you for saving me.We were drugged that time at the bar, and you owe me nothing.Please let me stay! I won’t say anything unnecessary anymore!"

Seeing Melissa’s humble and pitiful look, Lex could not stand it any longer.

"Boss, it’ll take time to find someone you can trust to cook for now.Melissa isn’t a jealous woman, so please let her stay for the time being until you find a reliable nanny!"

Tate nodded at the side.

"Right.Otherwise, if something happens to Ms.Quimbey, it’s not convenient for us to do anything..."

Sean looked indifferent and pondered for a moment.He tapped away the ash on the cigarette and looked at Melissa coldly.

"Melissa, you know who we are.Can you afford the consequences of staying and throwing away a bright future?"

Melissa was shocked.She looked at him and nodded.

"I don't have to go to school.I know what you’re doing is illegal, but I also know that if you weren’t cornered, why would you risk your life to do this? Not everyone is born in a wealthy family and pampered in life.If I sell alcohol in the bar to earn my tuition fees, I'll either have to pay a protection fee or get robbed by my mother.If I hadn’t met you, Mr.Moore, I’d probably get bullied in a corner somewhere..."

Chapter 2124 Brought This Onto Himself

Melissa was extremely emotional when she said this.Tears streamed down her face, and she looked so pitiful.

This speech stirred up everyone's sympathy, especially Lex’s.

"Boss, Melissa is so pitiful.She’s just like us and doesn’t have it easy.Besides, she’s sincere to you, so just let her stay!" Tate also agreed.

Sean pondered for a moment, then slowly retracted his gaze.

"Then stay for the time being.Your task is to take care of Yvette.Don't say anything unnecessary.If this kind of thing happens again, I’]] send you off somewhere." Melissa trembled.

Achill rose in her heart.

What Sean meant by sending her off somewhere would either be the nightclub or someone’s bed so that he could make the most out of these women.

Melissa did not want this.She wanted to be with Sean.She nodded immediately.Her eyes were sincere, and she solemnly promised.

"Okay, I'll take good care of Ms.Quimbey."

Tate's eyes flickered, and he said with a smile, "You can get some rest, Melissa.Let us talk."

Melissa wiped away her tears and went upstairs.Lex’s gaze was fixed on Melissa’s back.

Sean noticed this and snorted lightly without exposing him.

Tate coughed and pulled Lex’s attention back.

"Lex, you were in the hospital today.Did you see the Fergusons or the Stantons?"

Lex paused and said solemnly, "No, we went in after leading the police away.No one from the Ferguson family or Stanton family showed up.Boss, is it too soon?"

Sean squinted his eyes.He was pondering and scheming something.

"Let's wait for a while.I saw Nicole Stanton.Since she showed up, she'll definitely find a way to save Yvette."

Tate said, "But Clayton Sloan is an old fox and won’t let her interfere, right?"

Sean glanced at him and hooked his lips.

"You don’t know them.Nicole and Yvette have been friends since they were kids.Yvette is so carefree and can live so comfortably until today partly because of her best friend Nicole’s protection.Nicole blocked out those vicious words and dangers for Yvette, so Yvette..."

Sean did not continue because he suddenly realized that he felt a warmth in his heart that was long lost to him when he mentioned the past.

Yvette was the one who told him all this.Now, he would use it against her If Yvette found out, she would probably go crazy.

However, he could not look back.He lowered his gloomy eyes.

Tate seemed to feel the change in Sean’s mood and immediately changed the subject.

"There’s no movement from the old master, Boss.His birthday is in two days.Do you want to take the opportunity..."

Sean met Tate’s gaze.

Lex speculated on the side.

"Get rid of him?" Tate looked shocked.

"Are you going to do it?"

Lex guessed it wrong and smiled sheepishly.

"I wouldn't dare! The old master has more than 20 bodyguards by his side.It’s hard to get close to him."

Sean showed a slight impatience.

"Alright.With our current power, even if we kill the old master, the people around him will be eyeing us.We'll become the target of public criticism, so we must think of a surefire solution.Tate, it’s a good idea to set the delivery location in the hospital to hide in plain sight.But to be safe, we should change it next time." Tate nodded knowingly.

The corners of his mouth twitched when he thought of something.

"If we didn’t happen to be there, we wouldn’t have seen Ms.Quimbey.How did she get there?" Lex sneered.

"Melissa’s electric bike is gone."

"Someone like Ms.Quimbey knows how to ride an electric bike?"

Tate looked at Sean and was obviously a little shocked.

Sean frowned with a gloomy expression.He remembered that Yvette did not know how to ride a bike.

Whenever Yvette went out, she would either drive or get a chauffeur.

How did she ride an electric bike? Lex pulled the corners of his mouth and said meaningfully, "But she didn’t even call the police.I guess she still has some brains to know that it’!] be useless."

Sean’s eyes were sinister as he smiled mockingly and said, "That’s because she’s stupid, so she went to the hospital first.She’s still so stupid after so many years."

The Yvette that Sean knew was too well protected.

Yvette had never encountered any danger, so she did not know how to handle such situations.She went straight to the hospital without thinking.

Perhaps that was because she was most worried about the man lying in the hospital.

At that thought, Sean felt his chest getting stuffier.

Sean wanted to let Yvette go, but he could not.

Thus, he would never let go of the opportunity to take her back when he had power, even if it meant dragging her into hell.

Sean waved his hand.

"You guys can leave.Remember to contact the buyer tomorrow." Tate nodded.

Sean went upstairs without saying a word and returned to his room.He did not enter Yvette’s room.

Before Lex left, he noticed this and clicked his tongue.

"Tate, do you think the boss is tired of that woman? Why didn't he go to her room to sleep?"

Tate slapped the back of Lex’s head and warned him.

"Don’t even think about it.What does it have to do with you anyway?" Lex snickered.

"We're buddies with the boss who have gone through so much together.He won't be stingy about a woman, right? Didn’t you notice Ms.Quimbey’s figure? It’s amazing! I want to sleep with her at least once in my life!"

Tate frowned at him and warned him for the last time.

"Although we’re buddies with the boss, that’s his woman.Don’t be confused.If you want women, go somewhere else and look for them.Don’t covet the boss’ woman."

Lex stared at Tate, unconvinced.

"What are you saying? If I really sleep with her, will the boss shoot me? He was willing to give Melissa, who he slept with, to me, so what's another married woman?"

Tate did not want to talk to him and went out when it was dark.

"I don’t want to talk to you." Lex glanced upstairs in dissatisfaction.

When he thought about Yvette’s good figure, he felt an itch in his heart.

However, he was just saying that for fun.He would not actually dare to go upstairs.It was better for him to get a woman elsewhere.

After an hour, Sean took a shower, changed his clothes, and took a small first aid kit to Yvette’s room.

He did not look at her carefully before.She was so well-behaved when she fell asleep, so he could look at her carefully.

There were bruises and cuts on her arms and knees.It was especially obvious at night.His eyes darkened as he slowly put on the ointment for her.

Sean was annoyed by his actions downstairs.He did not want to lose his dignity in front of her, but when he hit her, he felt that he was torturing himself instead.

If only they could go back in time to how they were before...

After putting on the ointment, Sean put the first aid kit back into his room before he went back to sleep beside Yvette.

His unsettled heart finally felt a little more comfortable when he held her hand.

If Yvette behaved well, he would treat her the same as before.He would pamper, coax, and follow her wishes.

However, his Yvette was like this! Sean laughed mockingly at himself.He just brought this onto himself.

Chapter 2125 Get a Divorce

The soft light penetrated the quiet room.The sunlight shone through the gap in the curtains, and the person beside Sean stirred.

Yvette’s body was sore, not only from Sean’s torment but also from her injuries when she fell.She fell into a deep sleep and blamed herself for not being vigilant.

The man beside her was awakened.His eyes were half-open, and he was a little annoyed with being disturbed.

Yvette glared at Sean and regretted that she did not strangle him while he was sleeping.Her thoughts were so straightforward that they were almost written on her face.

Sean saw this and casually placed his hand on his forehead.He sneered and said, "Did you regret not strangling me while I was sleeping?"

Yvette gritted her teeth.She changed her expression and made a mental note of this.

Sean nonchalantly pulled Yvette into his arms and started to feel around her body.Yvette pushed him away in disgust.

"Don't touch me!" Sean was stunned.

His eyes gradually became clearer.He chuckled lightly.His voice was low and cold as he said, "I almost forgot.You’re worried about getting STDs.But it’s too late for that, Ms.Quimbey.We’ve done it so many times without any protection, so you’re now just as filthy as me."

After that, he pinned her down beneath him and looked at her coldly.

"Yvette, if you want to live comfortably here, you’d better not provoke me all the time.Otherwise..."

Yvette was not afraid of him and stared at him as if she was ready to fight him to the death.

"Otherwise what? Do you want to hit me again?"

That was how Yvette was.She would rather suffer herself than let others take advantage of her in vain.

Sean laughed.His eyes were dark, and he touched the face he slapped yesterday with one hand.

"I won’t hit you again.If you hate that slap so much, you can hit me back.I'll give you this chance." He took her hand to slap his face.

Yvette was not polite.She withdrew her hand and slapped him with all her strength.That slap was very loud.There was a momentary silence in the air.

Sean looked at her without speaking and held back his emotions.

Yvette felt a little guilty, but she hated him even more.

Yvette got up from him after she was done torturing him.

Sean chuckled lightly.

The expression on his face softened slightly, and he touched his inner cheek with the tip of his tongue.

Needless to say, his cheek must be red.

This woman was really not afraid of death.She showed no mercy at all.

Sean squinted his eyes and took a deep breath.

"Are you satisfied now? I'll coax you only this once.You’d better hold back your temper next time.I won’t do anything to you, but I won't be polite to Lance."

Hearing Lance’s name, Yvette, who had the upper hand, was instantly suppressed.Yvette turned to stare at him with indescribable pain in her eyes.

This was her reaction when Lance was mentioned.

Sean took a mental note.He was upset, so he got up from the bed.

Yvette tilted her head and calmed herself down.

"Sean, you’ve already slept with me, hit me, and humiliated me enough.What do you want me to do to let me go?"

Sean paused while he put on his clothes.He turned his head, looked at her calmly, and watched her silently before he reached out and pinched her face.He looked a bit frivolous and indifferent.

"Yvette, I never told you before, but men like to subdue women with your character.Divorce him and stay with me, then I'll let him go."

This was a compromise to Sean.He would let Lance go, but not Yvette.

Yvette’s eyes gradually turned bloodshot.

"Divorce?"

"You don’t want to? Are you that reluctant to part with him?" Sean looked at her playfully.

"Are you reluctant to part with Lance or your identity as Mrs.Sheldon?"

Yvette’s body was tense as she tried her best to restrain her emotions.

"You lunatic!"

"Do you think Lance will still want you back now that I’ve slept with you? Is that why you don’t want to divorce him?"

Sean was always provoking Yvette with the harshest words.

Sure enough, Yvette suddenly raised her hand and slapped him.However, this time, she did not get to hit him in the face as she wished.He squeezed her wrist tightly and smiled playfully.

"Yvette, you’d better treat me like you did before.Maybe then I’ll let you go when I’m sick of you.Otherwise, the more you resist, the more danger Lance will be in."

With that, Sean approached her threateningly and kissed her on the forehead.This satisfied him.He did not mind that Yvette wiped her forehead in disgust.He just smiled faintly.

"Go wash up, Ms.Quimbey."

Yvette felt a chill and despair in her heart.

The current Sean was like a cold-blooded killer who could suffocate anyone near him.

Yvette felt terribly cold.She had to find a way to get out of there.She did not want to stay there any longer.

After Yvette washed up, she looked at herself in the mirror.Her eyes were red as hell.She was terrified for the past few days.

How could she be obedient? When was Yvette ever obedient? After Sean impatiently closed the door and left, Yvette finally relaxed her shoulders slightly.

Yvette also realized that she should not have gone to the hospital immediately when she managed to escape yesterday.She should have called the police or at least called her family first.

Yvette was regretful.She came out after washing up and found that the door was locked.She could not leave the room.

However, she did not hear the car leaving the compound.

Soon, she heard someone walking upstairs.

That person knocked on the door and opened the door with a key.

Sean would certainly not be so polite.Sure enough, it was Melissa.Yvette’s eyes flickered.

If she remembered correctly, Melissa was kicked out yesterday.

However, why was Melissa still here? Sure enough, people like them could not be trusted.Melissa could feel Yvette’s doubt.

She smiled and said, "Mr.Moore asked me to stay and take care of you, Ms.Quimbey.What happened yesterday won’t happen again."

Yvette rolled her eyes.What she said did not matter.

Melissa continued, "Mr.Moore wants to take you out, Ms.Quimbey.Will you get changed and come downstairs?"

She put the clothes next to the door and gently closed the door and left.

Yvette’s eyes flickered slightly.

‘Take me out?’ Well, as long as Yvette could see someone, she could call for help.

This was the first time Yvette felt excited here.She really wanted to laugh out loud.She quickly took the clothes that Melissa brought over.It was a dress that was well-suited to Yvette’s style.It was also her favorite brand.

However, Yvette was not in the mood to pay attention to these at the moment.She did not care what she wore as long as she could leave this place.

When Yvette left her room, she studied the building for the first time.

The room she lived in was directly opposite the stairway.

There were many more rooms down the corridor.

The innermost door was the most luxurious and looked very different from the rest.

Yvette’s eyes froze slightly.

Could that be Sean's room? Was there evidence of his crimes in his room? Yvette suddenly felt a little tremor in her heart.

Something very important passed through her mind.

Even if she left, Sean would bring her back over and over again.He would threaten her and Lance, and she would never have any peace.But what if he got caught?

Chapter 2126 It Was a Bar

If Sean was arrested, he would no longer disturb Yvette’s peaceful life.Yvette seemed to have a goal, and she constantly thought about Sean’s room door.

"Ms.Quimbey, what are you looking at?"

Lex, who was downstairs, squinted his eyes to size her up.Yvette stared at his lewd eyes and felt disgusted.This man was always looking at her with lecherous eyes.She sneered and walked downstairs.

"I can look at whatever I want.What do you care?"

Yvette was aware that she was in their territory and should probably play nice, but even if she was humble and obedient, they would only humiliate and look down on her even more.Why should she please a minion? Lex wanted to say something, but Tate stopped him.

Sean put down his mobile phone and glanced at her.

"Why are you so angry early in the morning?"

He was calm as he pointed to the location of the dining hall.

"Let’s have breakfast!"

Yvette turned around and walked over.She would need strength to run, so she would not ill-treat herself.

Yvette sat down unceremoniously and picked on the breakfast.

The reason Yvette picked on the dishes was that Melissa’s cooking was subpar, and Yvette could barely swallow them.

Compared with Yvette’s rich breakfast in the past, this was like a huge blow to her.

Tate glanced at Yvette and said to Sean, "Ms.Quimbey looks to be in a good mood today."

Lex snorted coldly.He did not try to conceal his voice and even raised his voice deliberately.

"Why are you showing that princess attitude, Ms.Quimbey? Do you think someone will pamper you?"

Lex just could not stand Yvette’s aloof look.

In the past, young socialites like Yvette would not even look at him because they looked down on him.

Now that Yvette was in his hands and had become a prisoner, what right did Yvette have to yell at him? Lex felt his self-esteem getting trampled on.

Tate could not stop Lex and noticed that Sean’s face was getting darker.

Sean did not say anything yet, so why was Lex so indignant? Just when Sean was about to lose his temper, Melissa came over with a platter of cut fruit and said with a smile, "Have some fruit."

Sean glanced at Lex with a bit of warning.However, Lex clearly did not take it to heart.

"Melissa’s so caring.We're only relieved if the boss has a woman like you by his side." Melissa stood there awkwardly and looked at Sean a little nervously for a while.

Yvette put down her chopsticks after she took a few bites.

That skinny man barked like a dog, which really affected Yvette’s mood.

Yvette stood up and walked over, completely ignoring Lex's provocation.She just glanced at Sean.Sean gave her a deep look before he stood up with his phone.

"Are you done eating? Let’s go..." Yvette glanced at him.

"Have you eaten yet?"

"No." Yvette sneered and looked outside.

"How can you let me eat something that you can’t even swallow? Not to mention, there’s an annoying dog barking here."

At that moment, the room was silent.Lex’s face immediately turned glum.

Sean glanced at Lex and did not say anything.He did not plan to stand up for Lex.Sean just warned Yvette nonchalantly, "Don’t talk nonsense."

He grabbed her arm and walked out.Tate and Lex hurriedly followed.

After taking a few steps, Sean paused and looked back at them.

"Lex, you can stay to watch the house, lest you two fight on the road."

After that, Sean left with a stunned Yvette.Lex was also dumbfounded.

The boss actually abandoned him because of a woman! This was something that never happened before! Watching them leave, Lex was infuriated.His resentment toward Yvette grew even more.

Melissa comforted him softly, "Lex, I’m sorry.If you didn’t speak up for me, Mr.Moore wouldn't have taken his anger out on you."

Lex forced a smile and said, "It’s okay.I don’t blame you.That woman is trying to sow discord, but it doesn’t matter.The boss is only momentarily interested in her.Why would he like a woman who got married immediately after she dumped him?"

The corners of Melissa’s mouth twitched.She smiled and did not answer.

Melissa thought, ‘Ms.Quimbey is so arrogant, yet Mr.Moore is willing to endure it.I’m afraid he’s not just temporarily interested in her"

After they went out, Yvette finally relaxed a little.Her mind became active, and her thoughts seemed to be written on her face.

Even Sean saw through it.He chuckled lightly and shook his head.

"Do you think you can take the opportunity to escape?"

Yvette’s slightly upturned lips froze as she looked at the passing scenery outside the window.

"If there’s a chance."

Sean rubbed his forehead and said lightly, "Before you make a run for it, just think about that half-dead husband of yours.My people are always standing by in the hospital, waiting to pull out his life support."

That sentence made Yvette’s body stiff.She looked at him silently for a while.Sean lowered his head, but he noticed her gaze and asked with a smile, "Are you angry again?"

"I’m just curious.You disregard lives and treat people like dirt.Have you ever thought about what will happen after you’re arrested?"

Sean finally turned his head sideways and glanced at her with dark eyes.He looked a bit irritated.

"why don’t you worry more about yourself? What will you do now that you’re in my hands?" This conversation created tension between them again.

Tate, who was driving in front, pretended not to hear it at all.

Yvette did not know where the car was going.She guessed that Sean would not be so nice to tell her even if she asked, so she did not bother.

When they stopped at a bar, Yvette thought that this place looked familiar.It was the Tattle Bar, which Yvette and Nicole frequented.

Yvette was still in shock when the people in the car went out.

Sean urged her impatiently.

"You’re not coming?"

Yvette jumped out of the car and looked at this familiar place.Why would Sean dare to bring her here? So many people here recognized her.

Was this his territory? Was that why he was so reckless? Seeing Yvette’s shocked expression, Sean snickered meaningfully.

"Are you scared? Don’t you come here often? Maybe you’ll meet an old acquaintance.Oh, I forgot.Since you’re missing, I don’t think any of your friends are in the mood to drink and dance here, huh?"

Sean was referring to Nicole.To Yvette’s disappointment, Nicole did not come out often to drink and dance due to Clayton’s objection.

What’s more, it was still daytime.

Yvette’s face was stiff and gloomy as she followed him in.

Since it was daytime, the bar was generally closed to the public.However, many people were coming and going from the bar at that moment.It was just different from the loud music and bright lights in the bar at night.

This scene was more like an underground trade disguised as a bar.

When she saw the people walking around, Yvette was shocked.

None of them were waiters she was familiar with.

Many men in black clothes and full face masks went around the bar.

However, everyone was carrying a medium-sized box as they hurried to the back door.

Chapter 2127

See the world As soon as Yvette and Sean entered, the bar owner greeted them.

The man who had his way of ushering customers at night was a little mysterious at this moment.

He frowned when he saw Yvette, then smiled and looked away.

“Mr. Moore, you brought a friend today?” Sean glanced around иσνєℓєвσσк.¢σм and replied, “How's the preparation?” The bar owner smiled and said meaningfully, “It’s going well.

We changed the route and transaction time at the last minute, so the informer won’t get news of it.” Sean hooked his lips.

“We were targeted by the police last time because we were too careless.

Let’s take a break for a while after finishing this order.” “Understood.” Yvette stood there with a pale face as she listened to their conversation.

They did not hide anything from her and spoke openly.

The dangers that she thought were far away from her were actually happening around her.

Moreover, it seemed that Sean did not play an ordinary role in this matter.

Yvette did not dare to think too deeply about this since she never had contact with these before.

Yvette looked so out of place standing there.

She felt like she was standing on the edge of a cliff and trembled in fear.

The bar owner glanced at Yvette.

His smile deepened.

“Ms. Quimbey, you haven't finished drinking the wine that you kept here.

Shall I pour you a glass?” Yvette opened her mouth but could not utter a word.

Sean chuckled and put his arm around Yvette’s shoulders.

“No need.

Let me see today’s sample.” The bar owner nodded.

“Sure, it’s ready.” He clapped his hands.

One of the people who passed by stopped walking and came over with a box.

Sean patted Yvette’s shoulder.

“Would you like to take a иσνєℓєвσσк.¢σм look at what’s inside?” Yvette froze.

Sean could feel her body trembling.

She shook her head.

“I don’t want to.” The bar owner laughed all of a sudden.

Sean also chuckled helplessly and said in her ear, “Don’t worry.

It’s not what you think.

Would I be so blatant if it’s drugs? I’ve never touched that line of business.” Yvette paused and looked at him.

Her heart eased slightly.

It was not drugs.

That was her first impression.

After all, Melissa said that Sean did all kinds of evil.

Sean pushed her forward and urged her.

“Take a look.

It’s your favorite.

I promise you won’t get scared.” He seemed to have set a trap for her.

He was waiting for her to jump into his trap and fall in love with him.

Then, she would never be able to climb back up again.

His voice was a bit deceitful as if he wanted her to open the box and uncover the secret.

Sean could not wait to share his secret and achievements with her.

He also wanted to see her expression after knowing the truth.

He pushed her shoulders from behind.

“Go on, open it and take a look.

You should be very curious to see what’s in there.” The bar owner watched them quietly and smiled.

Yvette’s body shivered as she took a few steps forward.

She looked at that box.

The clips she saw on TV countless times flashed through her mind.

Would it be bricks of white powder or some bloody weapon? Yvette took a deep breath.

She walked over slowly and mentally prepared herself for whatever she might see, then she slowly opened the box.

Looking at what was inside, Yvette was shocked.

She never thought that it was not drugs or a weapon inside, but a stack of money.

Yvette looked back at Sean.

Sean raised his eyebrows and walked to her side.

“Isn't this your favorite? This is the British pound.

Didn’t you mention before that you think the British pound has the most beautiful design out of all the banknotes in the world?” Suddenly, Yvette’s face turned pale.

“This is a counterfeit note.” Although Yvette did not notice it at first glance, the note looked different upon closer look.

What's more, there were so many boxes here.

They were catching up to the bank’s speed of printing notes.

She immediately understood what was going on.

Sean was printing fake money.

Yvette’s face was pale.

This was out of her expectations.

Sean smiled and heard the bar owner laughing.

“Ms.

Quimbey, you used to travel all over the world, so you must be familiar with foreign currency.

It’s really amazing how you can tell that it’s a fake note at a glance.” Yvette frowned.

“Are you guys printing counterfeit banknotes?” She thought countries already cracked down on these counterfeit banknotes, so they would not be able to circulate these.

How could it be...? The bar owner smiled.

“Ms. Quimbey, how did you find out that this is a counterfeit note? Even locals can’t tell the difference between this and the actual British pound.” | He seemed to be asking for Yvette’s advice humbly.

Yvette sneered.

“I use real notes, so I can tell at a glance that something’s wrong with this one.

Do you guys really think you can get away with it?” She looked at Sean with a bit of confusion and contempt in her eyes.

“The world is going digital now, yet you still get into this business.

Do you really think that the money you print can be circulated? Do criminals not care about cost and IQ now?” She humiliated them.

Sean and the bar owner looked at each other, and the two laughed.

Yvette looked at them and felt confused.

The bar owner closed the box and said mysteriously, “Ms.

Quimbey, these won’t be circulated here.

Of course, they won't be circulated in England either.” “Then where will these be circulated?” The bar owner gave Sean a meaningful look.

Sean’s face was cold.

He did not answer her question.

Yvette seemed to understand a little.

These notes would be иσνєℓєвσσк.¢σм circulated in countries where the British pound was not commonly used.

Once they shipped these out, those people abroad, including those from professional institutions, might not be able to distinguish such well-made counterfeit banknotes from real ones.

Sean glanced at her.

“Alright, I just want you to take a look.

When they’re in circulation, I’ll buy you some nice clothes.” His tone was doting, but Yvette became unusually quiet.

Yvette studied finance in university, so she knew how many checkpoints a counterfeit currency would need to go through before it circulates.

It was not as simple as a few counterfeit banknotes.

This was hundreds of billions, which would need to through all levels, from senior officials to banks, international institutions to small towns.

They would not be able to continue if there was a mistake in any steps.

Clearly, Sean was one of the suppliers.

He was very confident in his own business, and it looked like he was not worried about the market at all.

This showed that there was already a complete supply chain.

Yvette suddenly understood why Sean did not need to deal drugs to make money.

That was because he did not need to make money since he would just print money.

She lowered her eyes.

“No need.

I won’t spend your money.” Yvette had her own business and earned clean money, so why would she spend the money that he earned through such dirty means? She had never lacked money.

When Sean heard this, иσνєℓєвσσк.¢σм he was slightly stunned.

However, it only took a moment for him to recover his expression.

He forcibly dragged her by the wrist and walked upstairs.

“Let’s go.

I'll take you to meet some friends.” Yvette struggled to no avail and was dragged upstairs into иσνєℓєвσσк.¢σм a private room down the corridor...

Chapter 2128 She Learned to Behave

Sean pushed the door open.

There was laughter inside the private room as if they were celebrating this upcoming big business.

They were a little stunned when they saw Yvette, who was behind Sean.

"Mr.Moore, you brought someone?" Someone asked.

Sean’s face darkened.

Sean sneered and sat down on the main seat that was vacant.

The person next to him naturally got up and made room for Yvette.

There was silence in the private room.

Sean took out the cigarette and lit it slowly.He glanced at the people around him.

"Where are your people? Why don’t you call them over to have some fun?"

They instantly understood.They no longer looked at Yvette with such hostility and vigilance.The man by the door stood up and went out, but he came back soon after with more than ten beautiful women.

Yvette was stunned when she saw this scene.Her face instantly turned gloomy.

Perhaps to them, Yvette was no different from these women.

After a while, the private room was lively again.

Someone wanted to come over and light a cigarette for Sean, but Sean waved his hand and looked at Yvette instead.

Yvette did not notice Sean, let alone intend to serve him.She sat there quietly without moving and looked totally out of place.

Everyone in the private room was accompanied by a woman.

Yvette was repulsed by their endless laughter and dirty jokes.

Sean twirled the cigarette in his hand.

A man next to him saw this and smiled meaningfully.

"Mr.Moore, your woman isn’t very sensible.Why don’t I give you mine and we can exchange women?"

The man patted the curvy woman beside him and asked her to sit next to Sean.The woman's eyes lit up.

Everyone wanted to get close to Sean.

Unfortunately, they did not have the chance.

The corners of Sean’s mouth twitched.He picked up the lighter and lit a cigarette for himself.

"No, thanks.I'll do it myself.You can keep your woman."

The man shook his head.

"It seems that you’re interested in this type of woman, huh?"

Sean smiled and said nothing.He just stretched out his hand and pulled Yvette into his arms.

Yvette avoided his breath and tried to keep herself away from him.She had heard of such sensual gatherings.It was inevitable in business.

However, the events Yvette used to attend were filtered.

Moreover, as Lance Sheldon’s wife, she would never have the opportunity to see such a filthy scene.

Sean was so generous to let her see everything.

The people in the room were foul-mouthed.

Sean also chuckled lightly from time to time.

Suddenly, aloud noise came from downstairs.Some sort of alarm rang.

Someone in the private room shouted, "The cops are here! Let’s go! "

Everyone was instantly flustered.

Yvette did not know who dragged her into the crowd.She was so excited to hear this and planned to use this opportunity to leave with the police.

Yvette would testify against these people when she met the police.

With the evidence downstairs and her as a witness, it would be a good opportunity to take them down.She bent down and tried to hide among the group of women.

Of course, the men left first.

The women were left behind.

The moment Yvette was about to leave the room, someone inside the room shouted, "Stop—"

The women froze immediately.

No one moved, so Yvette did not dare to move either.

Yvette was just one step away from the light outside.She would not just give up like that.

Yvette made a quick decision, gritted her teeth, suddenly pushed the woman in front of her, and stepped out.

She stood by the railing and looked down to see that the bar was completely different from what she saw when she first came in.

The bar looked normal again.

Some people were quietly cleaning the place while the bar owner yawned and greeted the uninvited "guests" in blue uniforms.

Yvette was about to run down excitedly when someone suddenly grabbed her arm.

Then, she was dragged back into the room.

Yvette screamed and quickly pushed Sean away.

However, after seeing Sean's dark eyes, Yvette suddenly thought about his warning.

‘Lance.." Yvette stood there with a pale face.

The police downstairs glanced at the bar owner and frowned.

"What's going on? You have customers?" The bar owner smiled and shrugged indifferently.

"They’ re my regulars and want a place to party, so I can’t disagree.Oh, that’s his girlfriend..."

One of the police officers looked up meaningfully.

"Is she really his girlfriend?"

Sean stepped forward and pulled Yvette into his arms.He explained with a smile, "Of course, she’s my girlfriend.She drank a little too much today and got mad at me when she saw other women around.You're fine, right babe?"

He looked toward Yvette with a strong sense of warning.If she said one wrong word, Lance would be dead.

Yvette’s heart sank, and she nodded dumbfoundedly.She did not dare to risk Lance’s life to test Sean’s bottom line.

That was because the current Sean was an arrogant lunatic.

Yvette could not escape now.She wanted Sean to get arrested.

At that thought, Yvette smiled, took Sean’s arm, and laughed coquettishly.

"Who's your girlfriend? Didn’t you want to date someone else?" Sean was stunned for a moment.He put his arms around her waist and played along.

"How could I?"

The two officers below looked at each other with a smile and believed their relationship.

The bar owner said with a smile, "Officers, everything’s going well here.The bar will be open at night, so you’re most welcome to come over later!"

One of the officers smiled and said, "This is just a health check.If there’s anything, just give us a call."

"Of course, I will." The two police officers left one after another.

The bar resumed its silence.

The bar owner came in, looked up at Sean, and said, "I don’t think they came because they heard something.There are police in other shops nearby.Mr.Moore, should we continue?"

Sean’s dark eyes flickered slightly.He took a deep drag of the cigarette and laughed.

"Continue." Yvette looked up at him in shock.

Sean touched her head.

"You finally learned to behave.Do you know what would’ve happened if you said one wrong word just now?"

He smiled warningly, which made Yvette panic.

Yvette pursed her lips.

"I’m not that stupid.How would I know if you were just testing me with some fake officers?" Sean paused.

He suddenly laughed.He did not know whether to laugh at her for assuming too much or for being stupid.

However, he was in an inexplicably good mood.

Yvette rolled her eyes and knew that her answer was quite stupid.

"In exchange, can I go and see how the money is printed?"

Even a counterfeit note would require an extremely sophisticated machine.Such machines were generally hard to come by.

Maybe she would be able to get more clues.Sean stared at her intently as if he was reading her mind.

"No.If you really want to understand my business, you’ll have to become one of us."

Chapter 2129 His Sincerity

Yvette’s face darkened.She was puzzled.

"One of you guys? You want me to be your subordinate?" Sean touched her hair.

"You’ll be one of us if you get a divorce and marry me."

Yvette was still not one of them even after she slept with Sean multiple times.Yvette narrowed her eyes slightly and did not speak.He forced her to get divorced, but Yvette did not want to compromise.She did not want to divorce Lance.

Yvette and Lance put so much effort into their marriage, so neither of them would give up easily.She would never divorce Lance and be with Sean.

Sean’s eyes darkened and turned cold when he noticed her silence.

"If you're not all in, don’t think about knowing so much.I’m not that stupid to let you gain evidence just so you can report me."

Yvette’s eyes fluttered, and she subconsciously raised her head.She panicked for a moment, but she quickly calmed down.

"You don’t really want to marry me.You just want to get revenge on me for marrying Lance.In that case, why should I sacrifice my marriage? When you get sick of me, I’ll end up with nothing and lose Lance.I'm not that stupid."

Yvette did not want Sean to see her real motive, so she had to find other reasons to cover it up.Sean smiled and pinched her ears.

"Of course, the Great Miss Quimbey will never let herself suffer."

He stubbed the cigarette in his hand on the railing and pulled her downstairs.

"Let’s go."

Yvette frowned and thought, ‘Is that all?’ Did he bring her out on purpose just so that she could see what business he was in? When the bar owner sent them out, Yvette suddenly realized something was wrong.

"Where did those people disappear to just now?"

That large group of men and women should not have gone unnoticed.

However, when Yvette was on the second floor while she talked to the police downstairs, she did not see anyone else.

How come? They should not be able to get out so soon.Sean’s eyes were a bit gloomy and nonchalant.

"You really are dumb.I guess you don’t know how many backdoors and secret passages there are in this bar, huh?"

Yvette was stunned for a moment.She really did not know! Yvette went to the bar purely to drink, dance, and relax.She came here as a customer, so she would use the main door.She did not expect this bar to have a back door and secret passages.No wonder those masked people carrying those boxes disappear so quickly.She was extremely scared and flustered.

When they got into the car, Tate sat in the driver's seat and glanced at Sean in the rearview mirror.

"Boss, are we going back to the villa?" Sean glanced at Yvette.

"You behaved well today, so I'll reward you.What do you feel like eating? I’ll get someone to buy it for you."

Yvette glanced at him.

Her eyes flickered slightly, and she demanded, "Stop at the cafe in front and buy me a cup of milk tea!"

Sean frowned slightly.

"I thought you hate drinking this stuff? Why don’t we go to a boba shop then?"

He was indeed wary of Yvette and did not let go of such a small abnormality.

Yvette blinked and frowned impatiently.

"The cafe used to be a boba shop, but the owner changed her business.Her coffee isn’t great, but the milk tea is pretty nice.Her old customers still go there to buy milk tea.Are you going to buy it for me or not?"

Sean glanced at her, then looked at Tate.

Tate immediately understood.He slowly parked the car on the side of the road and got out of the car to buy the milk tea.

Sean took Yvette’s hand from behind and laughed.

"Your habits changed, but your temper is still the same.How did Lance put up with you?"

Yvette paused and wanted to withdraw her hand, but she held back.She pouted.

"Lance has a good temper.At least he won't make me mad with just a few words!"

Sean’s face darkened slightly.

The man squeezed her hand, which made Yvette withdraw her hand in pain.She glared at him.

"You hurt me!" Sean squinted his eyes indifferently.

"You deserve it.Don’t mention his name in front of me." Yvette sneered.

"You mentioned it first!"

Sean turned his head away to soothe his emotions.It was quiet for a while.

Suddenly, Yvette asked him, "Sean, are you really hung up on me? Were we that in love with each other?"

Sean’s eyes darkened, with turbulent emotions concealed in them.

His face was extremely calm as he replied, "Did you think that our love wasn’t enough when we were together?"

His question made Yvette speechless.If she dared to deny it, Sean would strangle her to death.

Yvette had always been casual with her feelings.Her enthusiasm and recklessness made people mistakenly think that she was all in.

In reality, she was not that deeply in love with him, but she did love him back then.

Yvette thought about the past and felt pressured.She did not want to mention or recall it.

Back then, her feelings were like a raging fire that burned herself and others.

After she met Lance, that fire became milder.She started to yearn for him and anticipate their future.

"It’s all in the past."

Yvette did not want to deny it, but she did not want to say anything more either.

Sean licked the corner of his lips and sneered.

"I can’t get over it." Yvette’s slender eyes looked at him mockingly.

"You can’t get over it?"

She did not continue her sentence.

That day when she yelled at him in the villa, they parted on bad terms.

Those words she said pierced his heart.

Although Sean could not get over Yvette, there was no shortage of women around him.

Yvette did not want to say it so clearly because she did not want him to think that she cared.She did not care if he had other women.

Sean understood what she meant.He looked out the window and saw Tate buying milk tea through the glass windows of the cafe.

It looked like Tate would take a while.

Just when Yvette thought the conversation between them was over.

Sean said in a hoarse voice, "If I said that I didn’t have another woman after you, would you believe me?"

Yvette raised her eyebrows, looked at him, and said nothing.

These heartfelt words might be able to fool little girls, but Yvette did not believe it.

Melissa’s feelings for Sean were not merely an unrequited love.

Yvette could see through Melissa’s thoughts.

Melissa was intimate with Sean.

That was why she said it so openly.

Sean looked at Yvette with dark eyes for a few seconds, clenched her hand tightly, and said in a cold tone, "When I first entered this industry, many opponents wanted to hurt me.I didn’t have that much experience at that time and was drugged by one of my subordinates.Melissa was also drugged, so we had no choice but to sleep together that one time.Apart from that, I never touched her again.Those women in the villa are used as a cover and are mostly Lex’s and Tate’s women.I never once touched them."

His face was stiff as he looked at her and explained word by word.He was so serious and sincere that it felt like a boulder was smashing her heart.

She had nowhere to hide.

Yvette had to force herself to confront his sudden confession.

Did she believe him? When he asked her that, he wanted her to believe him.He opened up to her and wanted to show her that he was not as filthy as she thought he was.

Even if his business was not clean, his heart for her was true.Sean confessed to her, so Yvette could not brush it away lightly.

Chapter 2130 Change Rooms

Sean stared straight into Yvette’s eyes as if he was trying to find a hint of nostalgia or affection.

That way, he would not have disregarded his dignity to say these words for nothing.He already explained it to her so clearly, so what more could he say to make her believe him? Finally, Yvette lowered her eyes and curled her lips.

"I don’t believe you."

She wanted to withdraw her hand, but Sean suddenly squeezed her tightly.

At that moment, he was so infuriated that he was on the verge of losing his temper.

So what if what he said was true? Would Yvette stay and engage in criminal activities with him? Yvette’s heart did not waver or struggle for a moment.

All she could think about was New Year’s Eve, when he suddenly broke into her house, injured Lance, and raped her.

How could she feel moved? Bah! Yvette did not have a fetish for getting raped, nor would she ever give in to someone who ruined her life, even if he was her ex- boyfriend that she used to love.

All she wanted was to put him in jail for life.

Sean’s eyes quickly darkened.He felt as if something hit his chest, and the pain was suffocating.

However, he still smiled and nodded calmly on the surface.

"Ms.Quimbey, you’re not so easily deceived anymore."

Sean would not continue to open up to her because he did not want to give her any chance to humiliate him again.

Since she did not believe him, so be it.

As long as Yvette stayed by his side, they would go back to the way things were sooner or later.

Yvette curled her lips and said casually, "No, you just didn’t improve much.Don’t worry.I don’t mind if you slept with Melissa or someone else because it has nothing to do with me."

She clearly drew a line between them.

Yvette only wanted one man to be part of her future — Lance.

As for Sean, he could go to hell! Tate came back with the milk tea and handed it to the back.

"Ms.Quimbey, is this it?"

Yvette looked at the familiar packaging and responded with a smile, "Yes, thank you."

She took it over, put the straw into the cup, took a sip, and sighed contentedly.

However, her hand was empty in the next second.

The man next to her snatched over the cup of milk tea, took a sip, frowned, and drank another sip before he returned it to her.

"Gross."

It tasted bitter.

Yvette lowered her eyes and smiled without saying a word.

The car engine started, and they drove away.She suppressed her mood and did not turn her head to look at the cafe.

However, she seemed to have succeeded in doing a big thing right under Sean's nose.

When she looked at the cup of milk tea in her hand, she knew that her whereabouts would soon be known.

That was because the owner of this cafe was Julie Nixon, who had always kept a low profile.

Nicole did not like to drink milk tea, and the only person who ordered milk tea from there was Yvette.

Yvette smiled and felt extremely happy.

This went better than she thought.

Sean noticed her change in mood and frowned slightly.

"Are you that happy to drink this milk tea?"

Yvette instantly restrained her smile and curled her lips unnaturally.

She said, "The sugar in this milk tea increases dopamine levels and makes me happy."

Hearing this, Sean smirked indifferently.He was obviously not interested in her nonsense.He closed his eyes, held her hand, and felt her smooth and soft palm.

It was as if her hands were boneless and could be crushed with a slight force.

Back then, he did not think that he would one day hold her hand again.

Yvette wanted to withdraw her hand, but it was useless.It was bright outside.

Many people were walking on the road.

Some were in a hurry while some were laughing and chatting.

The light outside was completely different from the darkness in this car.

Yvette wanted to go down so she could run and laugh freely, but she clenched her free hand and told herself to wait.It was not the right time yet.

She smiled slightly and thought, ‘Lance, wait for me.I can go back once I get evidence.When the time comes, no one will be able to disturb our lives again"

Sean took Yvette back to the villa.

Melissa quietly cleaned the house and studied cookbooks.

When she saw them return, she happily greeted them.

"You're back!"

Her eyes were drawn to the cup of milk tea in Yvette’s hand.Her face stiffened slightly.

Such a random little thing made Melissa uncomfortable.

Lex came out of the kitchen and walked over happily.

"Boss! Melissa especially found a tutorial online to learn how to cook.You have to try her cooking later!"

Sean’s gaze was indifferent.He did not even look at her when he went to the living room and sat down.

Yvette stood there and paused for a while.

"Should I go upstairs?"

Sean pursed his lips.

"You can walk around freely in this villa as long as you don’t go out alone."

He did not expect to lock Yvette in the room because that would only make Yvette go berserk.He also knew that it was not good for them to repair their relationship.

Sean wanted Yvette to compromise with different means, so he did not mind giving her a little freedom.

Yvette raised her eyebrows, walked to the sofa next to him, and sat down.

Tate did not say anything and sat there as well.

Lex was dissatisfied.

"Boss, how can you let this woman walk around here...?"Yvette sneered.

"whose territory is this? Will I have to walk around eggshells when others are around?"

Lex was livid.

Sean reacted to the word, "others".

What she implied was that she did not want to listen to anyone else except Sean.

Sean smiled and said to Lex, "You can either go upstairs or go out and have fun by yourself."

Lex was speechless and furious.He was kicked out because of Yvette’s one sentence.

Lex did not leave and sat there, staring at Yvette.

"I'm not leaving.I’ve lived here for so long.We should go by order of who got here first!"

Yvette rolled her eyes and did not respond to this hooligan.She felt like talking to him was a waste of breath.

Yvette stood up and walked upstairs.

Seeing this, Sean did not continue to sit and followed her upstairs.

Melissa looked at their backs and the milk tea that Yvette she left on the table.Her eyes darkened.Her chest felt sore and bitter from envy.

Yvette pushed open the door of her room, but she did not go in.Sean said from behind, "Why? You don’t want to go inside?"

Yvette pursed her lips and turned her head.

"This room is too small and doesn’t have much daylight.Can I change rooms?" Sean smiled.

It was reasonable for Yvette to make such a request.

After all, she would not allow herself to suffer no matter what.

Yvette had extremely high requirements for any hotel’s conditions, let alone here.It was a good thing that she was picky because it meant that she was not against staying.

Sean raised his eyebrows.

"Sure, you can choose your room."

To prevent Sean from doubting her, Yvette started from the room next door and opened the doors one by one.

When she was two doors ahead, Sean reminded her from behind, "That's Lex’s room."

Yvette retracted her hand in disgust and did not even want to touch the door handle.
