When Yvette fell back in horror, the cold wind blew past her ears. Tate, who was behind her, supported her, and Yvette quickly grabbed onto the railing again.Tate’s muscular body jumped over the railing with ease.He then reached out to pull Yvette up.Yvette was so shocked that she could not stand straight. Her legs were limp, and she leaned against the wall.If no one was trying to kill her, she would definitely fall to the ground.However, Yvette did not forget the crisis ahead.She had already seen Tres’s hostility and contempt toward her, but she did not want him to look down on her.Anyway, she was Sean’s woman, so Tres would not dare to.Yvette raised her eyes and looked at the Tres in horror, but he did not even look at her.He just stared at Tate in dissatisfaction.“What are you doing? Why would you save this woman?”Tate adjusted his clothes and said calmly, “She’s the boss’s woman, so I must save her.”Tres laughed in exasperation. His smile was even more hideo
Sean was in a good mood. He glanced at Yvette and tucked her hair behind her ear.“Don’t be afraid. We’ll be there soon. We’ll be free once we leave this place.”Sean opened his arms, looking reckless and contemptuous.Yvette lowered her head and remained silent.Sean did not mind her silence.Tate opened a bottle of red wine and handed them a wine glass each. Sean’s excited eyes were a little red.When Sean handed the glass to Yvette, Yvette did not take it over, so he left it on the side.The remaining three people clinked glasses. The crisp sound was lost in the helicopter’s whirring.Sean went to Southeast Asia.Yvette did not like it there because it was corrupted. It was a drug trafficker’s paradise.However, Sean found it very exciting. It seemed as if he had been longing for this day.Perhaps it was because they were no longer in Mediania, and he knew Yvette well enough to know that she did not have that much influence to do anything abroad.Thus, he was relatively
The room was not locked probably because they knew that Yvette could not run far even if the door was wide open.On the contrary, leaving the door unlocked could show Sean’s trust in Yvette.This sense of trust seemed like a nice gesture, but to Yvette, it felt more like humiliation.However, Yvette still stood at the door to listen in on the conversation downstairs.“Boss, you’re amazing. You poached the old master’s client at the first transaction. That is also the old master’s biggest client. Who knew he would agree to cooperate with you?”“That’s right! The main thing is the location. It’s the main planting ground for coca too, so we don’t need to worry about production or the supply chain again. The sky is the limit! Now, the old master won’t be able to touch you. We just changed the dynamics of this place, and we’re big enough to suppress the old master!”“Yup. Now that we have control over this channel and our boss still has some of the old master’s power, we’ve basically
Sean did not notice her expression. He held her hand stubbornly and laughed.“Yvette, I’m really happy today.”Seeing that Sean did not advance any further, Yvette gradually relaxed.“Happy? You’re happy because you’re addicted to crime, right?”The corners of Sean’s mouth twitched, and his throat moved.“I never thought that I’d be so successful one day. I thought my life was over.”Yvette looked at him mockingly.“You’re happy that you abandoned your bright future?”Sean said, “Now, I have my own career, and you’re back by my side. Yvette, I can give you whatever you want. No one in this world loves you more than I do.”Yvette fell silent when she heard his seemingly affectionate words.She looked out into the dark with erratic eyes.Love?If he loved her, would he have traded her for business?Yvette did not believe that Sean loved her.In the beginning, she already knew that he was a narcissistic opportunist and that what he loved most was himself.At this moment, sh
Yvette went to the bathroom to wash up. Sean also joined her.He hugged her and attentively squeezed the toothpaste for her.Yvette accepted his service calmly without looking flattered.The smile on Sean’s face reached his eyes and gradually deepened. He bowed his head to kiss her hair, cheek, and nose from time to time.They seemed to have returned to the time when they were passionately in love, as if they wanted to be glued together all the time.In the end, Sean reluctantly left only when Tate knocked on the door.However, he also brought Yvette with him.The people downstairs did not know what to say for a moment when they saw the couple going downstairs hand in hand.Tate was used to it, so he calmly went to help in the kitchen.When Tres saw this, he looked indifferent and resentful.However, the woman sitting next to him tugged at him to attract his attention.“Everyone is here. Let’s eat.”Sean looked at them and regained his usual composure.He could tell that t
Even if this was Sean’s room, Sean still did not give Yvette true freedom.Sean still did not believe her.Yvette stood there with a pale face and looked at the device in Tate’s hand.Tate gently put the device back in its original position and rearranged the sofa. He stood up and walked to a place not far from her.“Ms. Quimbey, if it doesn’t suit your taste, why don’t you go and give the chef some feedback? That way, he can improve based on your suggestions. I don’t understand anything about cooking.”Tate winked, and Yvette immediately understood.She took a deep breath.“Well, there’s still a big gap between the desserts he makes and a five-star restaurant. I feel like making them myself. Is there enough equipment in the kitchen?”“There should be.”Tate said and left the room first.Yvette also followed him downstairs.There was no one in the kitchen.Tate signaled her to go in and stood at the door by himself so that outsiders could see there was a distance between th
The man looked at the chef, Tate, and Yvette with a smile.“Okay, then I won’t frighten Ms. Quimbey. Call Sean and ask him to come back. The old master is still waiting for Ms. Quimbey to have tea.”The chef looked at Tate in a tangle.Tate took out his phone without hesitation.The man walked inside and sat down as if it was his own home.He sighed.“Sean is really something. The old master gave Sean this channel and hopes that Sean doesn’t let him down. If Sean doesn’t do well, the old master will take it back.”The chef smiled and said, “Are you hungry? Shall I make you something to eat?”“No need.”Tate was quick to inform Sean, who did not delay either.In less than ten minutes, Sean had already arrived at the compound.The car engine was just as loud as the helicopter.Sean came in with heavy steps and an icy face.“Mr. Loubon, forgive me for the lack of hospitality since you came over so suddenly without informing me.”Mr. Loubon smiled and stood up with superficia
Mr. Loubon stood there with a heavy expression and did not make a sound.The old master gave the power that he had accumulated over the years to Sean, who dared to take it.Sean thought he had a grasp of all the old master’s network and resources, but that was just his vain thoughts.After the old master vented his anger, he called that number again.He sounded guilty and anxious as he said, “He took her away. It’s my fault, so I’ll find a way to save her. Don’t worry. I said I’ll save her and bring Yvie back safely even if I have to sacrifice my life!”In the end, the old man’s face turned red.The person on the phone said something that made the old master clutch his chest. He could not catch his breath, and his phone dropped to the ground.Mr. Loubon immediately stepped forward and picked up the phone.By then, the other party had already hung up.Suddenly, there was a commotion outside.A subordinate came in and reported, “Mr. Cash is here.”Mr. Loubon frowned and was ju
