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
The few subordinates on the side laughed in a low voice.Yvette blushed and walked away because she could not stand them.If she was not Yvette Quimbey and if she did not go through so much, then she might be touched by all the thoughtful things that Sean did for her.Unfortunately, her heart was still.Sean looked at her back and smiled warmly.He coughed.“Tate, have you contacted Snakehead yet?”…...The chef was busy in the dining room, setting up the table with his dishes as well as some local specialties.“Ms. Quimbey, come and try some! The boss bought these local specialties elsewhere because he was afraid that the ones I made weren’t authentic!”He snickered and went back into the kitchen.Yvette smiled, lowered her head, and ate seriously.She could not get used to the local specialties and frowned after taking a bite.Fortunately, the chef’s cooking was comparable to that of a Michelin chef. He was very skillful.Yvette stayed in the villa for a while.The nex
The car shook and screeched to a stop.Yvette almost bumped into the seat in front of her.In the next second, a small suitcase appeared on Yvette’s lap.Yvette looked at Sean in shock. He was smiling faintly as he said, “For this transaction, the other party asked you to go in person. Otherwise, there’s no deal.”Yvette’s expression changed dramatically as if she was holding burning coal.“I…”Panic spread all over her body.Sean smiled. His dry hands pinched her earlobe and squeezed her gently. This made Yvette motionless.She felt her hair stand on end.“Don’t worry. Farley and I will protect you from behind. Look, we have so many people, so what’s there to be afraid of? I’ll teach you…”His voice was gentle yet chilly.Every word he said was dragging the pristine Yvette into his filthy hell.Yvette felt that she was strangled by a poisonous snake, but she thought she could win over the snake.Unexpectedly, Sean still tried to use her to his benefit.From the beginning
Sean smiled, glanced at Farley, and walked in.Farley nodded and followed behind with a vigilant look.It was a completely different view in the abandoned factory building. There were many rooms without doors down the winding paths.The place was empty, and nothing could be seen.As soon as Yvette entered the building, the strong smell of gasoline, dampness, and decaying matter flooded her nose.She pinched her nose in disgust while Sean, who was next to her, pulled her up the stairs to the south staircase.Yvette subconsciously broke away from him.Sean thought she was throwing a tantrum, which was very much like her, so he did not take it to heart.When they went upstairs, Sean did not let Yvette go ahead.He walked in front, while Yvette walked in the middle, and Farley walked at the back.It looked as if he was protecting her.Yvette frowned but could not tell what was weird about this.She looked at Farley with strange eyes.Farley thought she was nervous, so he smile
The mercenaries that Sean hired had been surrounded.Not only that, the mercenaries were also disarmed.The people who surrounded them were all wearing police uniforms.There were Medianian and foreign police officers.Farley’s face instantly turned pale.They could no longer retreat, which showed that this transaction was a trap.Farley pulled Sean.“Boss, run! The police have surrounded this place. If we drag this on, we won’t end up well.”Sean also saw the situation outside at this time, and his face turned pale.His expression was gloomy, and he turned cold.His eyes were dark and indifferent.They were clearly surrounded, but Sean did not know if Snakehead was in on it.It was frightening to think that a smuggler would cooperate with the police.Heh.Sean suddenly realized that he was actually afraid.Soon after, Farley stood in front of Sean with a cold expression.“Boss, you run first!”Sean slowly raised his gloomy and stern eyes as he looked at the person who
Sean stared at Yvette intensely. His eyes were red and restrained as he said gently yet seriously, “Yvette, I know it isn’t you. This has nothing to do with you. Wait for me…”He wanted her to wait for him to come back for her!The rope was behind Sean, and he could pull it if he stretched out his hand.However, the police officers would certainly fire at him.It was risky, but this was his only chance at survival.The moment he moved, Yvette held something in her hand and roared, “Sean, I told you that you’d die in my hands!”Sean was shocked when he saw her aiming a gun at him.For a while, the air was cold.Farley’s expression changed in shock. He twitched the corners of his mouth, and shouted, “Boss, go now!”Sean felt as if his heart was gradually cracking and shattering to pieces.Yvette told him this before, but he never took it to heart.That was because he thought it was just a moment of anger.Yvette had said many harsh things before.Sean could not hear anything
Yvette held the bottle of water and stood up slowly.She looked at the waves in the distance, blinked, and looked away.Sean had led a thrilling life, which brought him to his death.Yvette did not see Snakehead or his subordinates walking out of the factory, so she figured that they must have left.Everything was over.Yvette would never come to this place again.After getting in the car, Tate handed Yvette his phone.“You can call your relatives and tell them that you’re safe now.”Yvette blinked. The complicated emotions in her heart surged.Life had to go on. Yvette went through so many dangers and trials, so she had to live a good life from now on. Yvette took the phone and called her mother.Soon, Mrs. Quimbey answered with a hoarse and tired voice, “Who is it?”“Mom, it’s me.”“Yvie? Is it really you?! I’m about to die of anxiety. Are you alright?”Mrs. Quimbey was choking up, so it was evident how anxious she was.Yvette relaxed her voice and replied, “Yeah, I’m
