Sean attracted everyone’s attention. Some gazes were envious, while some were restrained or respectful.However, they all had one thing in common, which was fear.The crowd consciously made way for Sean.Sean did not greet anyone and walked to the back.Tate, who was dressed more formally than usual, walked toward Sean and nodded at the couple.“Boss, the old master is waiting for you inside.”Sean nodded and walked inside holding Yvette’s hand.Yvette was not curious about this “old master” and thought that he was most likely a mafia boss. The more Yvette knew, the more danger she would be in.However, she was forced to know who the old master was at that moment.Yvette did not want others to see that she was nervous, so she might as well keep acting calm.She kept a faint smile on her face and followed Sean.Behind the divider was a spacious and luxurious lounge.After they went in, an authoritative old man with a head of white hair and a white beard was sitting in the ce
The old master’s attitude was clear and stern.Yvette’s eyes lit up again after having lost all hope.When she heard that so many people were looking for her, the tears in her eyes almost overflowed.Yvette realized that she was not alone.She was never forgotten.The old master lectured Sean, but Sean’s face was still indifferent.“So what? Most people will search for a missing person, but they’ll give up if they can’t find her after a while. She’s with me now, so I won’t let her go unless they come and grab her personally!”After that, he glanced at the old man. His tone eased.“It’s your birthday, so don’t get worked up over this small matter. I’ll take care of it.”The old master narrowed his eyes and stared at Sean for a few seconds with a bit of viciousness and coldness.Yvette looked at the old man expectantly.She hoped that he could convince Sean to let her go.However, at a turning point, the old man sighed.“Sean, I know you’ve always been prudent, but now, you’
Yvette spoke ill of Sean without hesitation.She did not understand why these women desired Sean so much. What kind of rumors have they heard about him?If they knew of the crimes he did, he would not even look at him.Daisy glanced at Sean strangely and looked at Yvette sympathetically.“I didn’t expect that a good-looking man like him would be so stingy.”Yvette nodded in agreement.Daisy sighed with regret.“There’s such a huge difference between the party downstairs and this one. Do you know that the Chairman of Stanton Corporation is celebrating his birthday downstairs? How great would it be if we can get into the Stantons’ social circle?”Yvette’s expression changed slightly. She looked at Daisy in shock.“Who are you talking about?”“The Chairman of Stanton Corporation. Haven’t you heard of him? I just heard of it when I was downstairs. Those high-society people have a special VIP lane, so they won’t bump into people like us. Moreover, the two floors are heavily guarde
Melissa closed the door from the outside and slowly locked it.“Go ahead. I have to lock this door so that it doesn’t raise suspicion. It’ll also buy you some time.”Melissa said as she slowly put the lock back on.Yvette should be happy, but she had a vague feeling that something was wrong.For some reason, she felt a little nervous.Yvette had to get to the 26th floor, so she gritted her teeth and ran downstairs.She could not remember when Floyd Stanton’s birthday was, but it seemed to be in this season.Yvette excitedly ran down two floors and saw a person standing there.In an instant, her whole body turned cold and stiff like she had fallen into an ice cave.“Ms. Quimbey, long time no see! I’ve been waiting for you since I was kicked out of the villa.”The person standing there seemed to have been waiting for her. He was not at all surprised to see Yvette and smiled at her lewdly.That person was Sean’s skinny subordinate, Lex. Yvette was repulsed by him because his
Yvette struggled in horror and opened her mouth to bite Lex’s hand.However, Lex slapped her hard on the face.Half of Yvette’s face was numb and painful.She gasped for breath and stared at Lex warily.“How dare you hit me! Even if Sean is just using me, I still have some value. If you dare to touch me, I’ll never let you get away with it!”Yvette’s tone was cold, stern, and sharp.Even if she was imprisoned, she would not allow anyone to belittle her or become this hooligan’s 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.“You won’t let me get away with it? Even if I f*ck you right here, the boss won’t do anything to me! He’s willing to give such an innocent girl like Melissa to me, let alone a sl*t like you! Even if he finds out, I’ll just say that you took the initiative to hook up with me!”Lex gritted his teeth and poun
Although Lex deserved it, it was Yvette’s own will to escape. She changed into the waiter’s 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 Sean’s 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. ‘Right… I still have some value, so he won’t kill me just yet.’After 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. Cash’s fat and lewd face looked shocked. His eyes were bulging out.“Sean Moore!”He was about to start cursing when the old master interrupted with a glum face.“That’s enough! Did you guys come here to quarrel today?”Sean 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.“You can take her away, but on one condition.”Sean raised his eyebrows. “Old Master, just name your condition.The old master looked at Yvette, squinted his eyes, and deliberated for a moment.“Let her stay by my side for a while.”Sean’s 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 master’s conditions.Mr. Cash chuckled lightly.Although the old master shut him off earli
Sean’s 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 Yvette’s slightly pale lips and her messy waiter’s 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, “Can we go now? I don’t like this place. I don’t want to come here again.”Her 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
