Yvette sat there with two police officers opposite her.Initially, Yvette was very excited when she saw the police and could not wait to tell them about all her grievances in the past few days.However, she suddenly became very quiet.Yvette could not say a word.Without evidence, how could they bring Sean to justice?She sat there and listened to them absently.The police officers were also a little anxious, but somehow, they had intriguing expressions.Facing their serious inquiries, Yvette gritted her teeth. Her eyes suddenly felt sore.Her heart was moved.“Wait, I’ll tell you what happened.”Even if it was a sliver of hope, Yvette wanted to give it a shot.No matter how powerful Sean was, he was not invincible, so what if she succeeds?The police officers looked up at her.Yvette took a deep breath and told them everything she went through since New Year’s Eve, including what happened at Tattle Bar and the nightclub where the old master held his birthday party.The p
The Stantons did not give their all in Yvette’s case because they had too much on their hands.Back then when Nicole was in trouble, Grant got in touch with many parties, including those in the underworld.Grant really did everything he could to help Nicole.Thus, his high-profile act back then made him a target to his enemies.With one wrong step, the Stantons could lose everything.They were not as fearless as those criminals, nor would they compromise and embark on that path for Yvette’s sake.They could only provide assistance that was within their power.That was what Floyd told his children.Yvette took a deep breath, stepped forward, and hugged Nicole’s shoulders.She patted Nicole’s back and smiled. Her voice was low and hoarse as she said, “I know. Although I called you, I actually hoped that you didn’t show up. Sean was merciful to me, but he might not treat you the same way. I can’t expect others to protect me forever. I need to learn to grow up on my own. Although
When Yvette heard the weak voice, she was shocked and slowly turned around.She saw that the man on the bed had opened his eyes again.This time, Lance was clearly awake. His eyes were bright and concerned.“Yvette…”He slowly raised his hand.Yvette walked over in a few steps. She suddenly teared up, and all her bottled-up emotions suddenly surged.Tears streamed down her face continuously.She did not say anything and only cried until she was out of breath.Yvette could pretend like everything was fine in front of her mother and Fiona.She could also pretend to be strong in front of Nicole and Julie.However, one look from Lance made her unload all her pent-up emotions.“I’m sorry…”She whimpered as she was in pain.Lance sighed slowly and put one hand over hers. His breathing was labored, but he said, “I don’t blame you. You’ll be fine."Even if his life was hanging by a thread, Lance still did not forget to comfort Yvette.How was this her fault?To others, Yvette m
Some time ago, there was a crusade against this pharmaceutical company that was selling fake drugs. The fake drugs were ineffective on the patients, so the patients from a few hospitals that bought this drug died because of it. The hospital was also berated by the public for poor supervision and management.After that incident, all hospitals boycotted the drugs produced by this company.Once the investigation was over, this pharmaceutical company lost all its customers. Their source of income was cut off, and they were about to declare bankruptcy.Moreover, they might have to compensate the victims.At this time, Sheldon Corporation’s acquisition of this pharmaceutical company was tantamount to attracting unnecessary trouble. They might even lose their reputation.This pharmaceutical company would only drag them down. They also had to pay out a large amount of compensation.This was simply a losing business.Yvette did not believe that the shareholders of Sheldon Corporation d
Zeke had a glum expression as he pointed at Yvette in front of everyone in the conference room.He did not hesitate to go against Yvette openly.“For Lance’s sake, I was going to show you some respect, but you went overboard. What right do you have to be here? Yvette, do you think that no one knows your secret?”Yvette’s face turned pale.Her eyes narrowed slightly, and her heart clenched. It made her panic for a moment.Her secret?The days Yvette went missing were her biggest secret.However, no one except the police knew about the details of this.Yvette did not even tell Nicole or Julie about it because the police told her to keep it to herself.Naturally, she would not expose herself.How could her secret be known?Zeke looked at her gloomily with a vicious gaze.He said, “Don’t think we don’t know that you’ve already found a lawyer trying to embezzle Lance’s assets. I saw our company’s lawyers going in and out of the hospital. Did you coerce Lance into giving you powe
Yvette frowned. “Why did they suspend cooperation with us? Have we worked with them before?”Zane shook his head.“No, but they have a large-scale laboratory that makes a new drug. Previously, Mr. Sheldon got in touch with them, but I haven’t met them yet. That’s why I made an appointment for tonight, but the other party suddenly canceled…”Yvette was annoyed.If Sheldon Corporation wanted to get involved in the pharmaceutical industry, they could cooperate with this laboratory. It was much better than acquiring that fake drug manufacturer with a bad reputation.If that was the case, the shareholders could not refute her.Yvette looked up at Zane.“Do you know where the other party is?”Zane raised his eyebrows and said firmly, “Yes.”Yvette’s eyes flickered slightly. She smiled.Zane had always been very attentive and capable. Otherwise, Lance would not arrange for Zane to be Yvette’s assistant.At night, Yvette changed into a decent dress and followed Zane.Surprisingly,
The private room was not very dim and was bright enough.The people sitting on the sofa with their backs to Yvette suddenly turned back to look at her. Everyone was unfamiliar with Yvette.She also noticed that the women in the room were well-dressed properly and did not look like they worked in the club.Yvette immediately felt relieved and walked over with a smile.The man sitting in the main seat on the sofa was thin with sunken cheeks.He looked very imposing, and his eagle-like eyes looked fierce.At this moment, the man looked at Yvette with gloomy eyes.Yvette shook off the discomfort in her heart and smiled naturally.She nodded to the man sitting in the main seat on the sofa and said, “Mr. Lineman, I’m Lance Sheldon’s wife. It’s a pleasure to meet you”“Chandler Lineman” looked at Yvette with a meaningful smile.“Ms. Quimbey, I’m not Chandler Lineman. You’ve got the wrong person.”After he finished speaking, everyone around him chuckled softly and looked at each oth
Sean stood there, looking tall and handsome. He was a head taller than Yvette, so he had to look down at her.“You’re still blaming me for this? It was really an emergency at that time. The old master wanted to deliver the goods that day and asked me to make a choice. He just wanted to instigate our relationship…”Yvette sneered at Sean, who was pretending to be calm.“Instigate us? How is that an instigation? You were the one who made the choice. Why should you get the best of both worlds? It’s worth your while since you exchanged me for your opportunity, right? Sean, what am I to you? Do you think you can show off to me once you get what you want? Maybe you just haven’t worked with the old master’s backer, so you wanted to use me to get further information?”Sean’s face turned gloomy when Yvette said that.Although Sean was infuriated, his eyes remained calm.Yvette’s words were straight on point, exposing his selfishness, ugliness, and motive.She made his self-righteous affe
