Yvette was grieving and passed out at some point.She was worried about all the unknown and could only be a doll that Sean kept in a glasshouse for people to watch.When Yvette woke up again, she was in a completely unfamiliar room.Everything from last night rushed into her mind.Her face was pale as she sat up abruptly.The unfamiliar environment made her feel more insecure.She wanted to get out of bed, but she suddenly tripped over something.When she looked down, she saw a white nylon rope tied to her ankles.Yvette’s heart kept sinking into an abyss.While she panicked, her feet were soaked in blood. That feeling and dead silence made her feel unsettled.Nothing she could reach could become a weapon that she could use to threaten others. There was not even a vase in the room.Yvette suddenly snapped and shrieked.Finally, someone came over and pushed the door open.Sean was wearing a black shirt and trousers. His face was still cold as usual.“You woke up? I’ll brin
In an instant, Sean’s expression darkened. He raised his head and stared at the man grimly.The person next to him saw that Sean was upset and immediately went to hug the thin man’s shoulders and jokingly scolded him, “You’re so full of yourself, huh? This woman is different from the ones in the club that you can screw with anytime you want. The boss brought her back for himself, so don’t think about her.”The thin man also saw that something was wrong and smiled sheepishly as he stepped back.“I was just saying… She came from a wealthy family and was brought up in luxury. I was just curious because I had never touched a woman like her before. Don’t worry, Boss! Without your word, I won’t touch even a hair on her!”The gloom in Sean’s eyes gradually faded. He was indifferent as he mocked him.“Useless! So what if she’s from a rich family? Women are all the same once the lights are off, aren’t they? I’ll take you all to Gold Digger’s tonight. You guys can get all the girls you want
Sean’s appearance made Melissa heave a sigh of relief.Melissa took a step back to get out of the way.However, her eyes held complicated emotions when she was standing behind him.Melissa adored and admired Sean.Yvette froze in place and looked wretched as usual.Her face was as pale as paper without a hint of color.“Sean, what are you trying to do? If you want revenge because I dumped you back then, just kill me. Why do you want to torture me like this?”“Torture? How is this torture? You haven’t seen real hell yet.”Sean’s tone was cold and sarcastic.“Don’t you want to know if Lance is still alive? I’ll tell you. He was lucky and was rescued in time. But now, he has two broken ribs and he’s still unconscious.”When Yvette heard Sean’s words, her relaxed body slowly stiffened again.The light in her eyes flickered. Yvette did not know whether to be sad or happy about it.She really wanted to see Lance!Seeing the conflicting expression on her face, Sean felt inexplica
Sean only slept with Melissa because she was sent to his bed when he was drugged.After the deed, Sean paid off Melissa’s debt and found a job for her. There was nothing more between them.However, to Sean’s subordinates and especially Lex, they had long thought that Sean must have liked Melissa since he slept with her.They thought that Yvette, who liked to hook up with men before she was married, still did not reel it in after marriage.To them, Yvette was just another prostitute with a better background.Yvette was nothing compared to a pure college student like Melissa.Thus, Lex looked at Yvette lewdly, but he would not contaminate Melissa.When Lex heard what Sean said, he was obviously shocked and looked at Sean in a panic.“Boss, you know that’s not what I meant. How could you give Melissa to me?”Melissa stood beside him. Her face was pale, and she bit down on her lips so hard that they were about to bleed.She remained silent.Sean ignored Lex and looked straight a
In the next second, Sean just stood up and glanced at them.“You guys can eat. I have something else to do.”Melissa looked at his back as he went upstairs and felt disheartened.Disappointment was written all over her face because she cooked this meal with all her heart.Tate called her over.“Melissa, come and eat with us. Don’t be a stranger.”Melissa forced a smile and walked over.“Maybe Mr. Moore isn’t used to my cooking. I have to improve myself.”Lex smiled and said, “No need! The boss has always been very picky. Unless his meals are made by special chefs, he won’t eat them.”Melissa’s face changed slightly, and she smiled embarrassedly.“Really?”……Upstairs.Yvette squatted in the corner and looked like she had lost her mind. She looked so wretched and listless.She trembled when Sean pushed open the door and came in, but she did not say a word.Sean raised his eyebrows, walked over, took out a sharp knife at his waist, and cut off the rope at her feet.Yvette
Yvette raised her head stiffly and looked at Melissa in disbelief.It was not because of what Melissa said about Yvette, but what Melissa said before that – money laundering, drug dealing, and underground brothels. Was Sean involved in all these now?Yvette’s heart froze. It felt like the blood in her body was slowly coagulating.No wonder Sean was so supercilious and unscrupulous.He disregarded the law by breaking into Yvette’s home, beating them up, robbing them, and imprisoning her.It turned out that Sean had long infringed the law.He took a path of no return.It was because of this news that Yvette completely panicked.If Sean was fearless, how could Yvette leave?Melissa smiled and comforted Yvette.“Ms. Quimbey, since you’re already here, just stay here obediently. It’ll be better for you to listen to him. We can only survive if we obey him.”Yvette’s heart thudded.Her face turned pale, and she slowly moved her gaze up to Melissa’s face. She frowned and said, “W
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
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 a
