Yvette struggled in horror and opened her mouth to bite Lexâs hand.However, Lex slapped her hard on the face.Half of Yvetteâs face was numb and painful.She gasped for breath and stared at Lex warily.âHow dare you hit me! Even if Sean is just using me, I still have some value. If you dare to touch me, Iâll never let you get away with it!âYvetteâs tone was cold, stern, and sharp.Even if she was imprisoned, she would not allow anyone to belittle her or become this hooliganâs plaything.If it really came down to it, Yvette would never compromise and fight him to the death.Lex covered his hand and sneered.His eyes were ruthless, and his smile became even more lecherous.âYou wonât let me get away with it? Even if I f*ck you right here, the boss wonât do anything to me! Heâs willing to give such an innocent girl like Melissa to me, let alone a sl*t like you! Even if he finds out, Iâll just say that you took the initiative to hook up with me!âLex gritted his teeth and poun
Although Lex deserved it, it was Yvetteâs own will to escape. She changed into the waiterâs uniform by herself.However, she was stupid to be fooled by them.What should she do?Yvette suddenly panicked.She felt scared and nervous.Her palms were soaking with sweat.Sean stood there and casually glanced at the wretched Lex without the slightest sympathy.His indifferent attitude made Yvette think that this was common for him.Lex kept saying that Sean would not do anything to him just because of a woman.It seemed that Lex overestimated his position in Seanâs heart.Even if Sean did not have feelings for Yvette, he still needed Yvette to be obedient until he finished brainwashing her.The way to make her behave was not to let others bully her.At that thought, Yvette gradually calmed down. âRight⊠I still have some value, so he wonât kill me just yet.âAfter getting rid of Lex, Sean took her hand and walked toward the banquet hall.He did not ask her much, which made Yve
After Sean said that, the air instantly turned cold.Mr. Cashâs fat and lewd face looked shocked. His eyes were bulging out.âSean Moore!âHe was about to start cursing when the old master interrupted with a glum face.âThatâs enough! Did you guys come here to quarrel today?âSean glanced at Mr. Cash indifferently.The old master snorted coldly and was dissatisfied with both of them.However, he did not hesitate and pointed to Melissa.âYou can take her away, but on one condition.âSean raised his eyebrows. âOld Master, just name your condition.The old master looked at Yvette, squinted his eyes, and deliberated for a moment.âLet her stay by my side for a while.âSeanâs face instantly turned cold.Yvette was so shocked that she did not know how to react.She looked at Sean strangely, with a bit of worry and panic in her eyes because she was afraid that Sean would agree to the old masterâs conditions.Mr. Cash chuckled lightly.Although the old master shut him off earli
Seanâs steps were heavy as he walked in front of Yvette. He felt like he could hear his heart struggling and tearing apart.He looked at Yvetteâs slightly pale lips and her messy waiterâs uniform and felt suffocated.She said she would not leave him. She said so herself.Hopefully, a month from now, she will still be here.Sean stood there and watched as Yvette smiled brightly at him. She heaved a sigh of relief and said, âCan we go now? I donât like this place. I donât want to come here again.âHer voice was still brisk and charming.It took him a lot of effort to get Yvette to be nice to him again.However, she would soon hate him to the core...Forget it. They were destined to be star-crossed lovers.Yvette took his arm and was about to walk out, but Sean stood there motionless.They stared at each other.She saw her reflection in his eyes and saw his guilt and ruthlessness.Suddenly, it dawned on her.She seemed to understand something.The smile on her face slowly di
Yvette opened her mouth and could not help but say, âI did keep my eyes open, and I already know what kind of person he is. You two are in the same gang, so youâre not any better than him!âThe old master heard this and smiled with his eyes.âIâm different, young lady. He ruined you, but I protected you. You should thank me!âYvette rolled her eyes.The old man glanced at her happily and smiled unconsciously. He put down the teacup and said, âWell, itâs my birthday today, so Iâll give you my birthday wish. Iâll fulfill your wish no matter what. Howâs that?Yvette paused.She looked at him in shock.Was this old man a gang leader?Why was he so nice to her?Yvette paused and looked at him warily.The old master looked at her. âItâs okay if you refuseâŠâYvette pursed her lips. âMy wish is to go home, my own home. Is that okay?âShe said it bluntly.Yvette was not a woman who had never seen the world. She had all the jewelry, bags, and clothes in the world.So, she would not
Yvette wanted the old master to take her back. That way, she would truly be safe when she got home.However, she knew her request was somewhat excessive.Yvette was also testing the importance of the old masterâs backer.If the backer was not that important, the old master would naturally refuse.But if the old master agreed...The old master looked at her and seemed to think it would be safer for him to send her home.He suddenly thought of something and stood up.âAlright. Iâll drop you off. Shall we go now?âYvetteâs heart trembled slightly.This showed that the old masterâs backer was someone important.The old masterâs subordinates were shocked when they saw him walking over.They looked at Yvette with a complex and surprised gaze.Yvette just walked out behind the old master as if nothing had happened.They took the elevator downstairs.The nightclub was still brightly lit.However, the vehicles on the street were mostly gone.The old masterâs stretched luxury car
Yvette believed Nicole.She really wanted to ask Nicole to investigate Sean, but she also knew very well that Sean was dangerous, so she did not want to involve Nicole in this.What Yvette encountered was terrifying enough, so how could she drag her best friend into it?She also thought about the old masterâs warning. If Yvette told the police everything without any evidence, they would not be able to arrest Sean either.What if that crazy man found out and came to look for trouble again? If that were the case, Yvetteâs peaceful life would come to an end.At that thought, Yvette calmed down.âHeâs just an old friend. Nicole, since Iâm back, you donât need to continue the investigation. How are you doing lately?âNicole breathed a sigh of relief.âIâm fine. I was just so worried about your safety. Aunt Quimbey and Aunt Fiona were also worried sick when we lost contact with you. I helped to search for you but couldnât find any clues. All of a sudden, Lance was hospitalized, and y
Yvette sat there with two police officers opposite her.Initially, Yvette was very excited when she saw the police and could not wait to tell them about all her grievances in the past few days.However, she suddenly became very quiet.Yvette could not say a word.Without evidence, how could they bring Sean to justice?She sat there and listened to them absently.The police officers were also a little anxious, but somehow, they had intriguing expressions.Facing their serious inquiries, Yvette gritted her teeth. Her eyes suddenly felt sore.Her heart was moved.âWait, Iâll tell you what happened.âEven if it was a sliver of hope, Yvette wanted to give it a shot.No matter how powerful Sean was, he was not invincible, so what if she succeeds?The police officers looked up at her.Yvette took a deep breath and told them everything she went through since New Yearâs Eve, including what happened at Tattle Bar and the nightclub where the old master held his birthday party.The p
Chatty and Fischer had been apart for so long, so they cried when they finally hugged.Fischer could not bear to see her cry.When her sobbing eased a little, Fischer lowered his head to wipe her tears and gently coaxed her not to cry.Chatty took a deep breath and calmed herself down as soon as possible.She had so many questions for him.Seeing that her eyes were swollen from crying, Fischer pinched her cheek and said with a smile, âDo you still want to drink coffee? If you donât want this, we can go to my place, and Iâll make you a cup of coffee.âChatty nodded.Fischer let down his hand and naturally held Chattyâs hand. He turned around to pick up her bag and pushed the door open.The waiter at the back was envious that they were such a perfect match.Chatty saw that he was holding her hand and felt as if an electric current passed through her heart.When they were young, Fischer often held her hand. They were inseparable, and he liked her the most.Was he still the same
After Chatty left, Clayton sighed miserably for several days, and Nicole was speechless when she saw this.Life in school was not so boring.Although Chatty had been spoiled since childhood, she was not arrogant or insufferable.Chatty was bubbly, outgoing, and clever, so she was very popular.From time to time, she invited everyone to party in her big villa. Thus, everyone loved her even more.Chatty also enjoyed her time alone.She would go for a walk along the Seine and feed the pigeons in the sunset...However, she always felt that someone was watching her whenever she was alone.Even so, she did not think much about it. After all, her father arranged so many security personnel for her.Maybe that stare was from a bodyguard.Chatty walked alone in the sunset with an ice cream in hand and a limited-edition bag that her mom bought for her. Chatty was planning to send this bag back to Mediania.She was a young and beautiful lady with stunning features, so she was a sight to
Clayton talked to Chatty about studying abroad.Chatty agreed without hesitation.He asked her where she wanted to go, to which she replied that she was fine with anywhere except France.Clayton pondered for a while before asking, âAre you reluctant about France because of Fischer?âChattyâs eyes turned red.âI donât remember him at all. Daddy, donât mention him!âShe felt aggrieved.Chatty grew up with him, and he suddenly disappeared one day.It felt like a dream.That person was no longer behind her. Fischer was no longer around.Chatty missed him very much, but Fischer did not even say goodbye.Clayton touched her head and looked at his daughter in distress.âChatty, now that youâve grown up, you should know that Fischer had no choice but to leave. He also couldnât contact you, so if you see him in the future, donât blame him.âChatty stubbornly turned her head away, pretending not to care.She was the apple of Claytonâs eye, so when had she ever suffered any grievanc
In the blink of an eye, Chatty grew up.As soon as she graduated from high school, she found a boyfriend.She was also happy to go home and share the good news with Nicole.Nicole did not think much of it. She thought that her daughter should enjoy the feeling of sweet and youthful love.Thus, Nicole asked Chatty about her feelings and did not think she was too serious in a relationship.Nicole felt that she could turn a blind eye to it.However, when Clayton found out, he could not sleep all night.Clayton intended to have a good talk with his daughter.Chatty did not think much of it.âEveryone in my class has a boyfriend. If I didnât have one, I wouldnât be able to keep up with the trend! Of course, I have to date while Iâm young. Otherwise, it wonât be considered puppy love anymore! Life without a first love isnât perfect!âClayton tried to persuade her. âYouâre still young. If you see the world, youâll know that men arenât great.ââThen is Mommy blind since sheâs with y
Another surveillance footage showed that the waiter almost dropped the tray because of the instability of the wine glasses, so the waiter moved the position of the wine glass. However, Jade was unaware of this.The autopsy results came out overnight.Jade was found to be poisoned by potassium cyanide.The ingredients were the same as the small bottle that Jade was carrying.Jade intentionally wanted to kill someone, but she accidentally killed herself.She would never understand which part of her scheme went wrong and why she ended up dead.The police checked the surveillance footage and found that the small bottle was initially dropped by Selenaâs aunt.They followed the lead and arrested her.The aunt confessed everything without omission and told the police that she was threatened, so she had to go to the event.However, the aunt did not want to harm anyone, so she took the opportunity of her fall to throw away the bottle of medicine.Unexpectedly, Jade did not give up and
Jade was silent for a moment. Then, she pursed her lips.âI donât care what method you use. You must get your parents to see Selena. Otherwise, I will make your parents drink this bottle of potassium cyanide.âJennifer raised her head abruptly. Her face was extremely pale.âOkay.âShe spoke in a low voice.The uneasiness and fear in her eyes could not be concealed.......A few days later, the opportunity came.Eric specially brought Selena to attend a charity auction to relax her mind.Moreover, he also bought a lot of jewelry and antiques. Soon, he became the focus of the crowd.After the auction, there was a charity dinner.Jenniferâs parents managed to get an invitation through various channels.Jade was already in the center of the venue. She wanted to watch this good show, but Jenniferâs parents came late, and the crowd dispersed when they arrived.Jade was furious.If they missed this opportunity, how long would they have to wait for the next opportunity?The Stan
When Selena talked about Nicole and Eric, she had a smile on her face, and there was no concern or disgust in her eyes.It was probably because Selena felt that Eric had left his past behind.Eric would never approach Nicole again, and they each had their own lives.Nicole smiled. The gemstone bracelet in the box was shiny and beautiful. It was extravagant with each carefully crafted gemstone. There was a kind of wild and exquisite beauty to it.Nicole shook her head and could not help but laugh.âI liked collecting these a few years ago, but Iâve restrained myself now. Thank you, I really like it!âSelena took the initiative to give her a gift, which showed that she did not mind Nicoleâs past with Eric. They just laughed it off.Nicole wore the bracelet on her wrist. It was indeed very beautiful.Selena smiled and was very happy to see that Nicole liked it.âThe past is in the past. Letâs forgive each other, okay?âNicole nodded with sore eyes.âItâs a pity I didnât prepare
Jadeâs rudeness made Floydâs face darken.Nicole twitched the corner of her mouth indifferently.âThe shares of Stanton Corporation belong to the Stanton family. Back then, Uncle Noah signed his shares over to the company so that he would only enjoy the dividends. Now that he has left the company, he will not be able to enjoy the dividends. Aunt Jade, your plan has failed. These shares arenât part of your property division. Even if they are to be divided, the interests of the company come first.âJadeâs complexion was dull.âThen what should I do? If he goes to jail, how will I survive? I donât care! Those shares must be given to me! Otherwise, I wonât rest!âJade sat there looking like a rogue, as if she was determined to get the shares.Floydâs face was gloomy, and he glanced at Jade with a complicated look.âYou should go back and wait for the police and the companyâs notice. Noah stole hundreds of millions of dollars from the company. The company is nice enough not to chase
Jadeâs face turned pale.âYou should try both, or at least find a reliable lawyer to get him less jail time.âNicole could not help but chuckle.She interrupted their conversation.âAunt Jade, in fact, you came at the right time. Weâre here to discuss how to rescue Uncle Noah!âJade glanced at her in surprise and disbelief.âThen⊠What did you discuss?âClayton smiled inexplicably. His warm gaze fell on Nicole, and he looked like he was watching a good show.Nicole sighed.âActually, we have consulted a lawyer. The worst-case scenario is the death penalty. After all, he killed two people. But there is a way. Uncle Noah was married to you back then, right? As long as you come forward to testify that Uncle Noah has been with you all the time, so he didnât have a chance to commit those crimes, there may be a glimmer of hope!âJadeâs face turned pale instantly, and she stood up in shock.âYou⊠You want me to give a false statement? How could I? This is illegal!âNicole sneered
