Yvette struggled in horror and opened her mouth to bite Lex’s hand.However, Lex slapped her hard on the face.Half of Yvette’s face was numb and painful.She gasped for breath and stared at Lex warily.“How dare you hit me! Even if Sean is just using me, I still have some value. If you dare to touch me, I’ll never let you get away with it!”Yvette’s tone was cold, stern, and sharp.Even if she was imprisoned, she would not allow anyone to belittle her or become this hooligan’s plaything.If it really came down to it, Yvette would never compromise and fight him to the death.Lex covered his hand and sneered.His eyes were ruthless, and his smile became even more lecherous.“You won’t let me get away with it? Even if I f*ck you right here, the boss won’t do anything to me! He’s willing to give such an innocent girl like Melissa to me, let alone a sl*t like you! Even if he finds out, I’ll just say that you took the initiative to hook up with me!”Lex gritted his teeth and poun

After Sean said that, the air instantly turned cold.Mr. Cash’s fat and lewd face looked shocked. His eyes were bulging out.“Sean Moore!”He was about to start cursing when the old master interrupted with a glum face.“That’s enough! Did you guys come here to quarrel today?”Sean glanced at Mr. Cash indifferently.The old master snorted coldly and was dissatisfied with both of them.However, he did not hesitate and pointed to Melissa.“You can take her away, but on one condition.”Sean raised his eyebrows. “Old Master, just name your condition.The old master looked at Yvette, squinted his eyes, and deliberated for a moment.“Let her stay by my side for a while.”Sean’s face instantly turned cold.Yvette was so shocked that she did not know how to react.She looked at Sean strangely, with a bit of worry and panic in her eyes because she was afraid that Sean would agree to the old master’s conditions.Mr. Cash chuckled lightly.Although the old master shut him off earli

Yvette opened her mouth and could not help but say, “I did keep my eyes open, and I already know what kind of person he is. You two are in the same gang, so you’re not any better than him!”The old master heard this and smiled with his eyes.“I’m different, young lady. He ruined you, but I protected you. You should thank me!”Yvette rolled her eyes.The old man glanced at her happily and smiled unconsciously. He put down the teacup and said, “Well, it’s my birthday today, so I’ll give you my birthday wish. I’ll fulfill your wish no matter what. How’s that?Yvette paused.She looked at him in shock.Was this old man a gang leader?Why was he so nice to her?Yvette paused and looked at him warily.The old master looked at her. “It’s okay if you refuse…”Yvette pursed her lips. “My wish is to go home, my own home. Is that okay?”She said it bluntly.Yvette was not a woman who had never seen the world. She had all the jewelry, bags, and clothes in the world.So, she would not

Yvette believed Nicole.She really wanted to ask Nicole to investigate Sean, but she also knew very well that Sean was dangerous, so she did not want to involve Nicole in this.What Yvette encountered was terrifying enough, so how could she drag her best friend into it?She also thought about the old master’s warning. If Yvette told the police everything without any evidence, they would not be able to arrest Sean either.What if that crazy man found out and came to look for trouble again? If that were the case, Yvette’s peaceful life would come to an end.At that thought, Yvette calmed down.“He’s just an old friend. Nicole, since I’m back, you don’t need to continue the investigation. How are you doing lately?”Nicole breathed a sigh of relief.“I’m fine. I was just so worried about your safety. Aunt Quimbey and Aunt Fiona were also worried sick when we lost contact with you. I helped to search for you but couldn’t find any clues. All of a sudden, Lance was hospitalized, and y

The Stantons did not give their all in Yvette’s case because they had too much on their hands.Back then when Nicole was in trouble, Grant got in touch with many parties, including those in the underworld.Grant really did everything he could to help Nicole.Thus, his high-profile act back then made him a target to his enemies.With one wrong step, the Stantons could lose everything.They were not as fearless as those criminals, nor would they compromise and embark on that path for Yvette’s sake.They could only provide assistance that was within their power.That was what Floyd told his children.Yvette took a deep breath, stepped forward, and hugged Nicole’s shoulders.She patted Nicole’s back and smiled. Her voice was low and hoarse as she said, “I know. Although I called you, I actually hoped that you didn’t show up. Sean was merciful to me, but he might not treat you the same way. I can’t expect others to protect me forever. I need to learn to grow up on my own. Although
