“I won’t let go! You look so gorgeous and tasty. Come with me tonight. I’ll take good care of you!” Mr. Lance began groping Yvonne as he spoke. Yvonne became angry as she dodged his hands and slapped him. “How dare you slap me?” Flames were in Mr. Lance’s eyes as he got slapped. “Such audacity. Do you know who I am?” “Why should I care who you are? F*ck off!” This time, she attracted the attention of the bodyguards Mr. Lance had brought along with him. “Mr. Lance! Are you alright?” Mr. Lance nursed his stinging cheek. There was no way that he would let this go. He pointed at Yvonne as he said, “Take this woman to my room!” “Mr. Lance, she isn’t the kind of woman that you think she is!” the bodyguard answered after glancing at Yvonne. “I don’t care what kind of woman she is. I’ve got my eyes set on her tonight. Hurry up and take her to my room!” The two men dared not say anything else against Mr. Lance and dragged Yvonne along with them. “Help!” was the only thing Yvonne m
He had just finished speaking to someone when he opened the door. “You seem to be having a lot of fun, Mr. Lance!” a voice spoke out.That voice sounded incredibly familiar. Yvonne looked up in a daze toward the door and saw Jackson, dressed in a black suit looking back at her by the doorway with a shocked expression on his face. As her blurry vision came to focus, a cold smile appeared on that familiar face. He stood above her while observing her. His eyes were devoid of any emotion. Yvonne closed her eyes in desperation. She would rather get r*ped than letting him see her in such a messy state now. “President Miller!” Mr. Lance had not expected Jackson to make an appearance, and a cheeky grin appeared on his face. “What attracted you here to my place?” “This is my territory!” Jackson said coldly. “Mr. Lance, don’t you think you owe me an explanation for causing trouble in my territory?” Jackson was an apathetic man who rarely paid attention to other people’s business. He h
“Of course I am fine. What could happen to me?” Zachary laughed and said, “We’ll train together again another day, Miller. I’m going to get my revenge.” “I look forward to it!” Jackson retorted. Zachary had said that he was alright, but Yvonne saw what was going on just now. He was obviously at a disadvantage during his fight with Jackson because he had had too much to drink. She had always hated Zachary for some reason. She suddenly realized there was nothing about him to hate after he took his shirt to cover her tonight. Jackson sat in the room dejected. The corner of his mouth was bleeding from the fight, and there were bruises on his face. That made him look incredibly disheveled. James ordered someone to bring the first aid kit over. “President Miller, this might hurt a little. Hang on.” “This tiny wound does nothing to me!” Jackson said as he gritted his teeth. Compared to the gaping wound in his heart, a tiny wound like that meant nothing. He could not help but cur
“I’m much better. The doctor said I’m recovering well, and I can be discharged tomorrow to rest at home. Hospital stays are so expensive.” Wesley was worried about the cost of staying in a hospital, and it made Yvonne feel sad. “You’re not getting discharged tomorrow. Stay longer for a few more days. We’ll leave once you have fully recovered.” “I’m fine, Yvonne!” “Don’t worry about money, uncle. I have money! President Quimby is paying me a high salary.” “Zachary indeed treats you well, but you’re not alone, Yvonne. Besides your burdensome uncle, you also have a child to take care of. Leo is growing day by day. You can’t leave him with Yosef forever, you know? Your son needs a mother’s love.” The name “Leo” caused a sad expression to appear on Yvonne’s face. That’s right, she had a son. She could not ask Yosef to care for him forever, right? Sighing slightly, she forced a smile on her face and said, “Don’t worry, uncle. Once you’re better and I have saved up enough money, I
The next morning, Yvonne went to the office with a bruise on the corner of his mouth. Zachary also had a bruise on the corner of his mouth. When they saw the bruises on each other’s faces, the two burst into laughter. The atmosphere was a massive improvement from the night before. When it was time for lunch, Zachary took Yvonne to a nearby restaurant. It was a Mexican restaurant. Yvonne thought to herself, ‘Doesn't Zachary hate Mexican food? What’s going on today?’The two had not placed their orders when a voice spoke out, “I can’t believe we meet again so quickly!” When Yvonne turned around, she saw that Mr. Lance and two of his bodyguards were looking at her and Zachary. Zachary might have just arrived at South City, but he knew what’s going on in South City. He immediately recognized Mr. Lance at first glance and laughed as he said, “You missed out on the second part. It was no trouble finding you!”“Teach this boy a lesson!” Mr. Lance ordered his two men. The two men imme
The only thing left for Yvonne to do was pack up and go home. When she walked to the first floor, she saw an Audi parked outside. The door opened abruptly when the person inside the car saw her. Jared stepped out of the car. “Yvonne.” “What are you doing here?” Yvonne asked in surprise. “What happened to your mouth?” Jared’s expression turned sad when he saw the bruise at the corner of her mouth. “Who hit you?” “Who hit me? Commissioner Lance’s son!” Yvonne said, laughing out loud. “He hit you? Does that mean Zachary beat him up today because of you?” “Yes!” Jared was there to discuss the city development project with Yvonne. He knew all about Jackson’s plans to develop the city, and he also understood that Jackson was a capable man. There would be nothing to worry about if the city development project fell into Jackson’s hands. However, things had changed now since Zachary had returned and caused some trouble. The Quimby family was influential, and more importantly, Yv
“How about the twenty-fifth of next month as the engagement date? The city development tender should be settled by then!” “Alright, the twenty-fifth of next month it is.” Susan immediately agreed, and the two discussed details about Fiona and Jackson’s engagement before going their separate ways. Jackson only returned at ten o’clock that night. Jade started talking to him about the engagement when he returned. “I’ve discussed the engagement with Madam Millers today. The date was decided on the twenty-fifth of next month.” Jackson remained silent, and Jade continued coaxing him. “Jackson, Fiona is a kind, obedient girl who has suffered so much for you. You should marry her because of that. Besides, she’s Jared Summers’ daughter. No harm in marrying her.” Jackson remained silent. Jade had already grown used to her son’s silence. Ever since she had threatened him with death so that he would kick Yvonne out of the family, they had had less and less to talk to each other. Sometime
Both parties were stunned, and Sandra was the first one to come back to her senses. With a cold smirk on her face, she spoke in a hostile tone, “Oh? If it isn’t Fiona, the mistress?”Her words caused everyone in the shop to shift their focus to Fiona, whose face had turned red. She was a well-known and respectable socialite in South City but after Sandra called her out like that, she was extremely ashamed.“It seems that your lover is going to make you his official partner soon, huh?” Sandra had a cynical look in her eyes. “Nowadays, even an unscrupulous mistress can wear a gown while acting so high and mighty. People are so devious and harsh, unlike the people in ancient times.”Fiona wanted so badly to crawl into a hole in the ground. However, Sandra did not stop there. “Has the thought never occurred to you that you’ll get retribution for wrecking a family? When a mistress likes you give birth, the child will be born with a missing body part and that’s your retribution!”“Sandra
