All Chapters of Came Like A Storm, Left Like The Dust: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Zach paid good money for a search and rescue party. They looked around the sea for almost a week but still did not find Yvonne. They were already exhausted at this point, and they sent a representative to persuade Zach to call off the search. But right when he wanted to say something, Zach’s gaze terrified him into silence. Zach’s assistant saw how haggard he was. Feeling resigned, he could only call the Frank family and Robin. By the time Robin arrived, it was already midnight. The search and rescue team had already gone back to rest. When he looked over, the sea stretched out for eternity. Zach stood alone in the distance and just allowed the waves to crash into him. “Have you lost your mind, Zach?!” Robin ran over and dragged him away from danger.The emotions Zach had been suppressing for a long time exploded forth. His grief and helplessness intertwined and choked him so tightly that he could not breathe. He slumped onto the sand in agony while he called out toward the

Pier brought Yvonne to his exhibition hall, and the decor inside took her breath away. After arriving in this country, she had gone out in search of another exhibition hall. But most of them did not meet her requirements. Every time she visited one, she had no further talks of collaboration with the curators. Delighted, she observed the decor inside. “What did this place use to be? Was it an exhibition hall too?”If it was not, how could it so perfectly suit her ideal exhibition hall?Pier smiled. “Do you like it? If you do, I’ll let you rent it.”“Considering the location, rent must be high. Name your price first.”When she went straight to business, Pier instinctively sat up straight, and he looked excited. “Pay me whatever amount you want. I don’t lack money, but I have a request.”Yvonne stopped walking, and her joy disappeared. “What is it?”“I have a project to secure, but my client and his wife are both Civilonians, just like us. Coincidentally, they share the same i

Suddenly, Zach reached out and grabbed her neck as he glared at her. “Eep!”“Bella, didn’t I warn you not to cause Yvonne any trouble? I told you before that I’d give you everything you want, as long as you behave and not bother her!”The pressure around Bella’s neck hurt her, and tears rolled down her face uncontrollably. But when she looked at Zach, her eyes were filled with resentment. “You said that you want to be with me and that you like me, but why can’t I be your proper wife? Why must I leave the country with you while she gets everything I want?!“You chose me, but why must I be the one who suffers?!”Bella stood up to Zach in anger and did not care that he was still strangling her. Shocked by her expression, he let go and instinctively staggered back. In his grief, he looked at the phone that was neglected at the corner. “Yvonne’s already dead. I won’t allow anyone else to slander and hurt her. I’ll look into this.”Sadness filled Bella’s face. She found herself

Yvonne sneezed at an inopportune moment. Feeling awkward, she grabbed some tissues and wiped her nose. The next second, someone draped his black suit jacket over her shoulders. “Mr. Frank, you’re so nice to your girlfriend. When are you two getting married?”“We’re not—”“Soon!”Yvonne fell silent and just gave Pier a look. He patted her head gently, and she instinctively moved backward. But it just made her sit closer to Pier. From an outsider’s point of view, they were flirting even more than a moment ago. Eleanor Clark, the wife of the potential business partner, giggled. “You two are such a good match. When you get married, I’ll be sure to attend your wedding!”Even at this point, Yvonne still thought that this was part of Pier’s plan. She could only brace herself and agree to it with a smile. When the party came to a close, Eleanor reluctantly bade her farewell. After sending Eleanor away, Yvonne felt all her energy drain. She sat in a random chair and massaged h

Zach’s face was swollen. But when he realized that Yvonne was ignoring him, he pursed his lips and tried to determine where she stood using her voice. “Yvonne, I’m sorry. I was wrong in the past. I didn’t know that you were captured because of me. I—”“Enough!” Yvonne suddenly cut him off. Right then, Zach could not see her trembling body and her disgust toward him. But Pier could. He hugged Yvonne and used his warmth to chase away the bone-chilling disappointment in her. It made Yvonne look at him, only to find that he was glaring at Zach. “Zach, you caused all the pain she suffered, and you’re just going to say that you didn’t know? Are you even worthy of calling yourself a man?”With that, he pulled Yvonne along and left. As Zach heard the sound of her heels fading away, he scrambled to his feet. But he ended up running into the door. Still, he ran after them pathetically while cradling his knees. However, when he arrived outside, he could no longer hear Yvonne’s hee
