Chapter 260 Crazy Lance Why did he say that to her and make her wonder?
She was no longer an eighteenâyearâold girl. She would think Jamie was trying to give her a hint.
A beastâs confession would only disgust her!
Before he could speak, Fiona came over.
Jamie got out of the car. They said something in front of the car door. Fiona was angry and cried. She glared at the window viciously.
Ellen heard something like an apology. Fiona probably wanted Ellen to apologize to her.
Jamie knew Ellen must not apologize to her, so he dismissed Fionaâs idea.
In the end, Jamie coaxed her into the car helplessly.
When the police arrived, Ellen explained she had a conflict with her boyfriend and deliberately called.
After the police questioned her, they checked the villa again and left after criticizing Ellen.
Ellen left in Jackâs car.
When the two cars passed each other, Jamie glanced at Ellen meaningfully.
Ellen felt her scalp numb.
She didnât know what this crazy person was going to do.
If not for the fact that the doctor Jamie mentioned was indeed a great cardiologist, she really didnât want to stay for a minute longer.
She took out her phone and sent a message to Kenyon, âWe can leave in about ten days. Have you made the arrangements on your side?â
âAll is well.â
Only then did Ellen relax and delete the message.
No matter what kind of perverted game Jamie wanted to play, she would not waste her time on it.
She would leave New York with her parents.
Yvette was locked up at home by Lance.
She was locked up for five days, and Lance never showed up again.
The helper in the villa was still Mary.
However, she would only bring Yvette food and was ordered not to talk to her.
Once, Yvette wanted to borrow her phone, only to find she was not allowed to have one with her.
Yvetteâs hope was in vain.
She ate, slept, and watched TV every day. She was in good health.
Having been locked up, Yvette studied which window she could escape from.
Unfortunately, the villa design was meticulous, and her plan failed again..
Finally, the man returned on the fifth night.
Yvette was a little excited when she heard the door ring, and then she calmed herself down.
She realized she might be crazy from being locked up.
Lance came in. His expression was as calm as ever, and no emotions could be seen on his face.
Yvette wanted to say something but did not know what to say.
Fortunately, he only glanced at her. Then he bent his fingers to untie his tie and went to take a shower.
The pitterâpatter of water in the bathroom sounded like a terrifying warning to Yvette.
It reminded her of that nightâs madness.
Lance had listened to her pleas for mercy and hadnât been ruthless.
But it had been too long, and she could not stand it.
She didnât know why Lance had been so crazy. In short, the manic behavior that night had been wrong.
Tonight, she wanted to have a good talk with him calmly.
Lance took a bath and came out wearing blue loungewear. His wet hair made his handsome face less fierce and serious. It was a different style of beauty..
Yvette wanted to please him and asked, âHave you eaten dinner?â
âYes.â
âAre you thirsty?â Yvette was determined to do something to break the awkwardness first.
Lance stared at her for a second and nodded.
Yvette poured water, and Lance was leaning on the bed reading the latest magazine.
She was a little afraid and handed warm water to Lance. She wanted to retreat, but Lance grabbed her wrist.
He placed the warm water on the head of the bed and exerted a bit of strength in his hand. Yvette sat on him with her feet off the ground.
To be more precise, it was an intimate posture as they were face to face.
âAh!â
Yvette cried out in alarm. She was so scared that she wanted to get out of bed, but the man pressed down on one of her ankles.
âDonât you have something to say?â He rubbed the protruding bones of her ankle with his slightly hot.
fingertips.
Yvette did not dare to anger him. She endured the itch and said, âIâve missed many classes. Can I go back to class tomorrow?â
âI resigned for you.â
Yvette widened her eyes, not daring to believe what she had just heard. âWhat?â
she asked dully.
Lance said, âIâve explained to your superior. Arenât you happy that you donât have to go to work?â
Yvette cursed him inwardly and wanted to have a good talk, but she couldnât hold it in.
âLance, what right do you have to resign for me? Thatâs my job. I didnât say I wanted to quit. Why did you think you could make the decision for me?â
This overbearing man!
She was really furious.
âWhy?â
He pinched her chin with his other hand and chuckled, âBecause Iâm your man.â
His smile was cold and terrifying.
Yvette trembled.
She was afraid that if she displeased him, she would suffer like that night.
She said softly, âLance, what I said is true. There is really nothing between me and Charlie. Can you not add so many charges on me just because of your imagination?â
âImagination?â
Lance repeated, his tone vague.
Yvette nodded and explained desperately, âI really have nothing to do with Charlie. You are being paranoid.â
After she finished speaking, she wanted to cover her mouth.
She looked at Lance nervously, afraid that he would be unhappy.
The manâs eyes were sharp, and he coldly said, âI am being paranoid? You were working in his company.â
Yvette did not understand. What did he mean by working in Charlieâs company?
She had never heard that her company had anything to do with Charlie.
Lance opened a document in his phone and handed it to Yvette.
Yvette found the company had been purchased by Charlie the second day she joined it.
The boss was just nominal.
She explained in a panic, âI didnât know. I really didnât know about this.â
Lanceâs eyes were cold as if he did not believe her.
Yvette panicked. She did not want to be locked up again.
âHe really threatened me. If you donât believe me, let me confront him!â
âConfront him?â
Lance pursed his lips and mocked, âWhat can you get out of a living dead?â
âWhat?â
Yvette looked at him in disbelief. âCharlie isâ¦â
âHe has become a vegetable.â
Yvette only felt a bang in her head!
She had thought at most Charlie would become disabled. She hadnât expected him to become a vegetable!
Yvetteâs shock was more like grief, which was offending to Lance.
Lanceâs dark eyes narrowed. âAre you heartbroken?â
Yvette froze from his question. She shook her head and said, âNo, I just canât accept it.â
She had known Charlie for a long time. It was impossible that she didnât have feelings for him. She was not coldâblooded.
Moreover, although Charlie was bad, he did not cause any actual harm to her.
At the last moment, he had risked his life to protect her.
Yvetteâs trance displeased Lance, He hadnât come back for five days because he was afraid he would lose control and hurt her again.
He tried to convince himself that he did not mind, but the truth made him want to destroy everything!
His eyes darkened, and he suddenly pushed her onto the bed. His hand came in from the hem of her skirt. It was selfâevident what he wanted to do.
Yvette was frightened and explained with a trembling voice, âLance, I donât know about work, and the threat is true. How can you believe me?â
Lanceâs eyes were deep and serene like snow. âThen explain why Charlie is giving you all the assets under his name?â
