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
The gunfire outside was incessant and reverberating.The cold wind blew over the smell of gunpowder which filled the air.Yvette’s face turned pale with fright. She lost her wits.She did not want to die from getting shot by stray bullets.Sean blocked her behind him so that she was within safe range.Yvette had no idea that the danger would come so suddenly.She also did not know that people could die so silently.Those teenagers she saw standing guard with guns just a second ago became corpses on the ground. They would never get up again.She followed Sean in shock.Tate ran to the front to open a path for them, but Mr. Cash’s siege was well-planned. He wanted to trap Sean from all sides and confront him head-on.Sean knew that Mr. Cash had such courage because this was at the behest of the old master.‘Hah… But so what?’ Sean thought.He could only get to where he was in this line of business not because he was benevolent, righteous, and moral.That was all bullsh*t!S
Tate was quite shocked to hear Yvette’s words.Yvette looked fragile and terrified as tears streamed down her face. That cowardice from being pampered all her life was not an act.She looked at Sean with tears in her eyes, which seemed to be filled with worry and affection for him.However, what she said was as cold and sharp as a knife.Tate paused and did not continue to speak.He knew that Yvette did not betray his plan, and that was enough.Tate was just worried that Yvette would be soft-hearted because of Sean’s actions, then his plan would be ruined.However, it seemed that he was overthinking it.Yvette hated Sean far more than he imagined.Outside the door, Sean stood there with a cold and stern face as he looked at Mr. Cash with an evil smile.“Mr. Cash, you can come out now.”Mr. Cash stood up slowly from behind the car door and held his head with both hands in a gesture of surrender.“Sean, I lost. I surrender! From now on, I won’t intervene in your affairs.”Al
Soon after, the doctor arrived.Sean also fainted due to excessive bleeding.He was carried into the room and surrounded by countless people.Yvette could not even squeeze in through the door.She sat in the corner and covered her ears because they were still buzzing.This felt like a dream.In the past when she heard Nicole jokingly talk about her near-death experiences, Yvette just smiled and listened without taking it to heart.She thought that there were not so many dangers in the world because the world today was peaceful, right?Now, standing here in person, Yvette seemed to have a different perspective on all her thoughts.The things Nicole told her did not seem to be tragic enough probably because Nicole held back some of the gory details.Yvette hung her head and felt the tingling pain in her heart.She was sober and in pain.“Okay, all of you can leave. The patient needs some rest. Only a few can stay.”The doctor nervously and helplessly chased everyone out of t
Yvette heard the conversation upstairs and smiled silently. She continued to make the soup with her head lowered.After some time, the chef, Farley, came in from the outside, looked at her, and smiled.“It smells so delicious! If the boss knows that you made this, he’ll be so happy that he’ll lick the bowl clean.”Yvette smiled gently and guiltily as she suppressed the complex emotions in her heart.“He was hurt because of me, so this is nothing.”The chef nodded in agreement.“I heard that. Although the boss used violent methods to bring you here, that’s because he can’t forget you. Ms. Quimbey, if you treat him better, he’ll protect you with his life!”Yvette’s eyes flickered. She looked fragile and sad.“Forget it. It’s all in the past. We’re even now. Not to mention, I can’t go back even if I want to. It’s shameful for the Sheldon family if people find out that I’ve gone through this, so they won’t want me to go back. What else can I do then?”The chef sighed regretfully a
Tate’s expression froze slightly.“But this isn’t good for us. We occupied this place not long ago, and we haven’t taken down the partners completely. If the old master makes a move, wouldn’t we be in a passive position?”Sean’s expression was gloomy as he narrowed his dangerous and sharp eyes.Tate looked eager, which was rare."Boss, we must prepare in advance. Otherwise, our chances of winning won’t be high once they attack. Unless…”“Unless what?”“Unless we can make a deal with Snakehead. He’s the boss here, and Southeast Asia’s biggest drug lord. If we can cooperate with him, we don’t have to worry about the old master’s threats.”Yvette listened to Tate’s words and felt her heart pounding.She vaguely realized something and subconsciously looked at Tate.Tate's face was dark, as if he was just being thoughtful for Sean.Sean also trusted Tate.The room was silent, so much so that Yvette could not even hear their breathing.Sean pondered for a full minute before he sa
