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
Yvette sneered, raised her head, and looked straight at Sean.“Don’t think that you ended up like this because I dumped you. You’re not that fragile. Back then, you were unfaithful while you were still married to your ex-wife. This shows that you’re a scumbag! I fell in love with you back then because I was deceived, but I wasn’t blind and finally found someone I could marry. On the other hand, you made excuses to stoop so low. Drug dealing, women, money, and sex are all temptations that made you like this! Why did you bring me here? Is it so I can witness your incomparably glorious moment? Or are you irritated that I didn’t choose you, so you want to destroy me?”Yvette looked at Sean bluntly and exposed his darkest thoughts.“Admit it, Sean! You’re not trying to get back together with me. You’re just trying to satisfy your own vanity! The police will arrest you soon, and I’m waiting for the day you get the death sentence!”After she said that, Sean took a step forward, strangled
Melissa was extremely emotional when she said this.Tears streamed down her face, and she looked so pitiful.This speech stirred up everyone’s sympathy, especially Lex’s.“Boss, Melissa is so pitiful. She’s just like us and doesn’t have it easy. Besides, she’s sincere to you, so just let her stay!”Tate also agreed.Sean pondered for a moment, then slowly retracted his gaze.“Then stay for the time being. Your task is to take care of Yvette. Don’t say anything unnecessary. If this kind of thing happens again, I’ll send you off somewhere.”Melissa trembled.A chill rose in her heart.What Sean meant by sending her off somewhere would either be the nightclub or someone’s bed so that he could make the most out of these women.Melissa did not want this. She wanted to be with Sean.She nodded immediately. Her eyes were sincere, and she solemnly promised.“Okay, I’ll take good care of Ms. Quimbey.”Tate’s eyes flickered, and he said with a smile, “You can get some rest, Melissa.
The soft light penetrated the quiet room.The sunlight shone through the gap in the curtains, and the person beside Sean stirred.Yvette’s body was sore, not only from Sean’s torment but also from her injuries when she fell.She fell into a deep sleep and blamed herself for not being vigilant.The man beside her was awakened. His eyes were half-open, and he was a little annoyed with being disturbed.Yvette glared at Sean and regretted that she did not strangle him while he was sleeping.Her thoughts were so straightforward that they were almost written on her face.Sean saw this and casually placed his hand on his forehead.He sneered and said, “Did you regret not strangling me while I was sleeping?”Yvette gritted her teeth. She changed her expression and made a mental note of this.Sean nonchalantly pulled Yvette into his arms and started to feel around her body.Yvette pushed him away in disgust. “Don’t touch me!”Sean was stunned. His eyes gradually became clearer.He
If Sean was arrested, he would no longer disturb Yvette’s peaceful life.Yvette seemed to have a goal, and she constantly thought about Sean’s room door.“Ms. Quimbey, what are you looking at?”Lex, who was downstairs, squinted his eyes to size her up.Yvette stared at his lewd eyes and felt disgusted.This man was always looking at her with lecherous eyes.She sneered and walked downstairs.“I can look at whatever I want. What do you care?”Yvette was aware that she was in their territory and should probably play nice, but even if she was humble and obedient, they would only humiliate and look down on her even more.Why should she please a minion?Lex wanted to say something, but Tate stopped him.Sean put down his mobile phone and glanced at her.“Why are you so angry early in the morning?”He was calm as he pointed to the location of the dining hall.“Let’s have breakfast!”Yvette turned around and walked over.She would need strength to run, so she would not ill-tre
