Yvette overheard their conversation to this point and did not want to hear any more.She did not know what was the point of eavesdropping.Up to now, how could Lance still decide to hide it from her?The entire company already knew about this matter, but she was the only one kept in the dark.If Yvette had not known about it in advance, would she have acted like a fool and gone to make friends with her new colleague?Yvette stood there. For the first time, she felt that she was so pathetic.Lance knew everything about her, but he did not want to share his secrets with her.After one short year of marriage, Yvette thought that the two of them were compatible enough to grow old together.But now, it seemed like it was a little too far-fetched for their relationship to last so long.That stairway door separated both their worlds.Yvette did not understand this side of Lance at all.Whitney questioned Lance like she was his legitimate girlfriend.“Misunderstand? You’re afraid t

Lance was feeling anxious and complicated inside.He called home, but the maid was the one who answered the call.“Is Madam home?”The maid said, “No, didn’t Madam go to the office to look for you?”She was just wondering about it.Lance said, “Let me know when she’s home.”“Yes, sir.”Lance let out a deep breath after hanging up the phone.Yvette overheard his conversation with Whitney earlier.‘Would she overthink things?’ Lance thought.Whitney’s words earlier were very harsh. However, since Lance just found out about his mother’s ploy to get rid of Whitney, he felt indebted to her and just let her keep venting her grievances.Thus, he did not retort.Who knew that it would be such a coincidence?Lance looked at Yvette’s phone number and fell into deep thought. ‘We were just being intimate this morning. Yet now, our relationship is about to be over so soon? I don’t want it to end, and I can’t let this end...’He no longer had the mood to go back to work. Thus, he drove

The bar’s staff accidentally overheard Yvette’s private affairs. Thus, they were more careful in serving her.The bar manager tried every way to make Yvette happy, but Yvette just kept on drinking.Her phone rang over and over again with calls from different numbers, but she did not answer it.Sheldon Residence.Lance used countless numbers to call Yvette, but she did not answer.His patience was wearing out.He looked very worried.Finally, he called Nicole, who also rejected his call resolutely.Needless to say, Yvette must have called Nicole beforehand. Otherwise, Nicole would not have refused so decisively.Lance hesitated if he should call Clayton to ask for his help. However, he was afraid that too many people knowing about this matter would make it a farce instead.The maid, Mrs. Sally, stood by the side. She did not know what was going on, so she was apprehensive and lost.Lance was preoccupied, so he told Mrs. Sally to go about her own work.Mrs. Sally wondered if

No other sounds were coming from the bathroom except for the sound of running water.Lance felt like he was talking to himself since there was no response. He felt helpless.This was the first time he had to deal with Yvette like this. He initially thought that they could easily get over this matter, but now, it seemed that it was not so simple.The sound of water finally stopped. Yvette went into the tub.Without needing to think, Lance knew that it would take at least two hours for Yvette to come out of the bathroom. That was because of her complex routine, which included a massage and skincare.In the past, Yvette would invite Lance to join her, and they would get intimate.Lance would occasionally cooperate, but he really could not control himself whenever it came to Yvette.Occasionally, he would also punish her for fooling around because she delayed his video conference many times.Now, Yvette locked the door behind her and shut him outside, which made him feel so helples

Fiona said, “Bring Yvette home for dinner tomorrow.”Lance’s mind was a mess.“I’m busy.”His tone was harsh, and Fiona could hear it.She sneered.“What, did that woman make up some nonsense, which made you think that I’m the devil who broke you up?”Lance pursed his lips. “Mom…”“Don’t call me mom! If you don’t come back tomorrow with Yvette, just change your last name to Locke!”That was Whitney’s last name.Fiona then hung up the phone ruthlessly.She became suspicious because of Mrs. Sally’s phone call, which made her investigate the company.There were rumors going around the company about Lance and Whitney having an affair in the stairway that day.Fiona did not believe that Lance would have an extramarital affair and do such a shameless thing.The only possibility was that Whitney deliberately made a show of it to others so that people would misunderstand their relationship.Fiona had seen such tactics long ago.Fiona was the only one who could explain what happe
