Lance spoke decisively.He did not drag his feet, and he was not sympathetic or indecisive like the day before.Whitney’s face turned pale.“Is our past that embarrassing? You promised to marry me and even said that marriage doesn’t matter to you…”Her words were almost incoherent.Lance coldly interrupted her.“You know full well that our past was nothing. Even if it wasn’t you back then, I’d still say the same thing. I didn’t say that because of you.”Whitney’s body swayed, and her face was glum.Her eyes were bloodshot as she held back her tears.“I accompanied you through your toughest time. I don’t believe that you’ll forget that.”Lance’s eyes turned colder.“I could get through that time because of myself, not because you turned around the situation for me. Don’t think so highly of yourself.”Whitney sucked in a breath, finally realizing that Lance had changed.Actually, he did not change.Lance used to be more lenient toward women, but here he was, refuting her wi

Nicole said, “Don’t do anything to her as long as she doesn’t actively seek you out. Let Lance settle his own affairs.”Yvette pursed her lips. “I think so too. I don’t wanna get my hands dirty!”The two ladies talked for a while longer.Nicole noticed that Yvette did not have the same negative emotions as yesterday, so she finally hung up the phone feeling reassured.Clayton hugged Nicole from behind and let out a laugh.“You’re really taking matters into your own hands, huh? Are the company’s affairs still not enough to keep you busy?”Nicole sighed helplessly. “Well, I don’t have a choice. If it was anyone else, they could probably let go of it after a few years. But Yvette’s different. She’ll definitely get a divorce as long as she finds out Lance has an affair. She might look like she doesn’t care about anything on the surface, but she gives her all when she likes someone.”Clayton rubbed Nicole’s neck and kissed her.“Well, Lance is really unlucky to have such an ex.”Ni

The assistant smiled calmly. “Mr. Collins, I haven’t been notified of that arrangement. If there are any personnel changes, the human resource staff will contact you.”Mr. Collins’s face was pale, and he left looking defeated.The assistant looked away dully and thought, ‘Luckily, I’ve been on Yvette’s side!’Lance pulled Yvette back into the office. Yvette’s struggle was futile, so she became a little impatient.Once they were inside, she broke away and rubbed her wrist with one hand.Yvette thought, ‘My poor wrist! It was crushed twice today!’She looked at Lance with dissatisfaction. “What are you doing? Did you take the wrong meds today?”Lance stood there with his fists slightly clenched.“Why didn’t you discuss with me first?”He was referring to the business trip to Cali.Yvette’s expression was dull as she raised an eyebrow.“This is a company issue, so it should be discussed in the office. Why should I discuss it with you first? It wasn’t too late to let you know ju

Lance did not stand up for Yvette when he was talking to Whitney at the stairway that day. Yvette ultimately felt that it was not worth it.She thought, ‘What’s the point of feeling sorry for myself? What’s the use of caring about other people’s opinions? I’ve loved frankly, and even if it doesn’t end well, at least it was still a blast!’In the first half of her life, Yvette had taken her relationships too seriously.First Sean, then Lance.Lance did not do anything wrong. He was actually quite innocent.However, Yvette just had an epiphany.The honeymoon stage of their marriage was a great memory, but she could not be immersed in bliss forever.Yvette was just incompetent. She would always be known as Mrs. Sheldon, and other people only addressed her as “Vice President” out of respect for Lance.She seemed to have nothing to complain about.Once she thought it through, those awkward situations did not matter anymore.Yvette took a deep breath and began to prepare the materi

In the afternoon, Lance and Yvette went to Fiona’s place. Yvette had already prepared a gift for her.Lance got the driver to pick them up and drop them off at his mother’s house.Thus, he and Yvette sat in the back, but the two of them did not speak for a while.The driver felt a little uncomfortable.In the past, Yvette would always chatter non-stop. Although Lance listened inattentively, he still answered her questions and responded to everything she said. They were all used to it.Suddenly, they were so quiet, so the driver was not used to it.Since they did not speak, the driver also dared not say a word.They arrived at Fiona’s house like that.It was a small villa that was not too big with a front and back garden and a good view.Lance bought the villa here back when this plot of land was first developed. It was very expensive.The nanny smiled and came over to open the door.“You’re finally here! Madam has been busy around the house all day.”Lance nodded and took Y
