LOGINYsabel was rescued, but her mind didn’t survive it. She’d been completely broken, reduced to a shell of herself, and had become mentally ill.She was eventually forcibly admitted to a psychiatric hospital.As for Lawrence, after the Yelm family went bankrupt, he was burdened with massive debts and faced multiple charges of fraud and intentional assault. He was sentenced to fifteen years in prison.I heard his legs were broken while serving the sentence, leaving him to live a life worse than death.And those security guards who once helped him abuse his power didn’t escape justice either, as they all received what was coming to them.Two years later.I had successfully led Bluebell Group into overseas expansion. The so-called small logistics company had long since grown into a giant, something towering and unstoppable. Not long after I returned from abroad, the front desk called to say that a woman wanted to see me, claiming to be an old acquaintance of mine.I looked up and sa
Ysabel’s face turned pale when she saw the clause in the agreement that required her to leave with nothing. She snapped.“Quintus Gill, how can you be so heartless?“Ten years, and I leave with nothing? Is that all our relationship is worth?”I thought she was getting a bit too loud.“Not enough?” I said flatly. “Then here’s a little bonus for you.“The deputy director at Andale has been eyeing your position for years. After all these years, she must have some compromising evidence on you.“Sending you to prison for a decade shouldn’t be a problem at all.“After all, the Gills have a team of elite lawyers who’ve never lost a case nationwide. You’re no match for me.”Ysabel shook. “That’s impossible. How could you do this to me?”I scratched my ear, and honestly, I was already done listening.“Five seconds. Sign or don’t sign. Your choice.”Peter signaled, and ten tall, imposing bodyguards formed a solid wall of muscle.Trapped in the middle, Ysabel dared not speak out and
“Are you daydreaming?”My voice was as cold as ice.Ysabel collapsed completely to the ground.Peter looked at her ugly face and couldn't help but speak up for me.“Ms. Walter, do you honestly believe those ‘high-quality’ clients were your doing?“If it weren’t for our CEO, you’d still just be an ordinary person earning three thousand a month.“If not for Mr. Gill, you’d never have made it to the position of Sales Director.“Everything you have is thanks to his favor. Your pretentious act is so blatant, even I can’t stand it anymore.”My body swayed, and Peter cut himself off. He rushed me to the hospital right away.I lay in the hospital for two full days.When I woke up, Peter was sitting by my bedside, visibly furious even while working. “What happened?” I asked hoarsely.“That shameless woman,” he said through clenched teeth. “She’s been making a scene here every day.”I lowered my gaze, silent.Peter hesitated before asking cautiously, “Mr. Gill, you don’t still hav
For a split second, Lawrence froze. Then he burst into laughter, even falling to his knees and pounding his hand on the floor.“This is killing me. You’re just the owner of some run-down little logistics company, yet you actually think you can shake the Yelm family?”He looked up at me, pure contempt in his eyes.“You’ve got a death wish!”He stepped forward and kicked my phone away. “You think one phone call changes your pathetic image? Give it a rest. You’ve already embarrassed yourself enough.”I let out a cold laugh.“Lawrence Yelm. The eldest son of Yelm Corporation. I’ve seen you before, at my company’s annual dinner. Though I guess someone like you wouldn’t remember.”The sneer on his face stiffened. His gaze on me faltered, and a few seconds later, his eyes widened.“Bluebell Group?”He stared at me intently. His expression twisted. Suddenly, both his hands shot out and grabbed me by the throat.“Impossible! Just because your last name is Gill, you think you’re the CE
My head buzzed, then went completely blank.“Ten years… and you could just walk away?”She stared at me like I was a complete stranger.“Yes, I’m done!“Why on earth would I entrust my whole life to a penniless bum like you!”Every word hit like a sledgehammer, crushing the last bit of hope inside me.Lawrence stepped in smoothly, his voice dripping with smug satisfaction. “Quintus, take a good look at yourself. Stay with you, Ysa gets nothing but a hard life. Stay with me and she’ll live a life of luxury and privilege.”He strode over, grabbed a chair nearby, and smashed it at me. “You piece of trash, get out of here!”I wiped my forehead and my palm was stained with blood.Several security guards suddenly rushed in and pinned me to the ground.I struggled fiercely, but I couldn’t break free from their restraint. “Perfect timing. This man is trespassing. Drag him out now!” Lawrence ordered arrogantly.The guards wasted no time. They pulled out their batons and brought
I deleted the messages.Then, I tossed the high heels into the trash can before I turned to head home.Just as I reached the front door, I heard voices from inside.My heart sank as I pressed my finger against the fingerprint scanner.Beep—“Fingerprint recognition failed.”I tried again but I got the same result.The people inside heard the noise and opened the door. Lawrence stood there, arms crossed and looking down at me with a crooked smirk.“Persistent little trash, aren’t you? What now? If you’re done making a scene, get lost. Don’t ruin my time with Ysa.”Fighting back my rage, I glared at him. “This is my house. You’re the ones who should leave.”Lawrence laughed as if I’d just told the best joke of his life. “Your house? And you can’t even get in? Don’t be ridiculous!“Ysa was kind enough to let you crash here for a while, and you got the nerve to take advantage of her.”He pulled out the property deed and flipped it open right in front of me.It read, [Owners: Y
