Chapter 1065
When There Is Nothing Left But Love
âWhat kind of logic is that?â Emery countered with a hint of contempt. âIf you regard yourself as a
commodity, then you should act like one. A commodity has value. Do you know your value? âWhy on
earth did you attach such a high value to yourself when youâre a commodity that has changed hands
every so often? Do you think youâre worth that much? Youâre a commodity that has zero aesthetic and
practical value, yet you price yourself as a customized commodity. Do you think youâre worth that
price? Well, the answer is no.â
Oh my God, Emery is simply⦠Amazing!
All at once, Yvonneâs face flushed bright red at her lecture. After a long while, she glared at her and
snapped, âWhat has that got to do with you? Howâs that your business?â
At that, Emery merely snickered, not in the mood to continue debating with her. âItâs indeed none of my
business. Letâs go!â
Naturally, there was no way we could continue with the meal after that debacle. As Emery strode out of
the restaurant while dragging Camelia and me along, she muttered, âPeople are really ridiculous
nowadays. Her values are erroneous, yet she doesnât allow anyone else to point them out. Come on!â
After saying that, she turned to me with a frown. âWell, Iâm curious. How did you get acquainted with
that freak? Damn it, sheâs just pissing me off so badly!â
Startled for a moment, my gaze remained locked on hers. With the corners of my mouth twitching, I
replied, âYou donât remember her? She was a hostess at your nightclub back then. She was forced to
drink, so John and I intervened. I later got her a job at Nickâs company, but it wasnât long before she got
her hooks into John.â
Emery was stunned for some time before she blurted, âDang! Are you serious? Itâs been so long that I
donât have any recollection of her. Sheâs really crazy.â
After exiting the restaurant, we went straight to the mall. Once those two women started shopping, they
were in a world of their own. When the shopping spree drew to an end, the entire trunk was filled to the
brim.
Completely worn out, I sat at the lounge on the first floor and waited for them while they shopped.
I had just sat down for a brief second when I spotted a man dragging Yvonne out of the mall by the hair.
His movements were vicious and indifferent, turning her silky hair into a tangled mess.
âPlease let go of me! Iâm sorry, I wonât do it anymore. I beg you! Iâll give you all the money, so please let
go of my hair!â Yvonne wailed at the top of her lungs.
However, the man showed no signs of taking mercy on her. Instead, his grip on her became
increasingly brutal. âYouâll do anyone as long as they give you money, huh?â
The manâs vulgar words were indeed unpleasant, and he proclaimed that in a booming voice, so
everyone around them heard that. As they unwittingly attracted peopleâs attention, an elderly lady
stepped forward and persuaded, âYoung man, just talk it out if thereâs a problem. This isnât an
appropriate way to treat a woman.â
âShe doesnât mind doing it with any man and has now given me STD! This is all on her! Not only is she
filthy as hell, but she also ruins others! Itâs already merciful of me when sheâs such a despicable
woman!â
Yvonne then fell to the ground while struggling with him. Looking all pathetic, she stared at the man as
she rebutted in a tearful and aggrieved voice, âI didnât! It wasnât me! Youâre the one who contracted it,
for Iâve got no STD at all! All those are wealthy men, so how could they possibly have STD? Itâs you
who contracted it by sleeping around with random women, yet youâre blaming me?â
Slap! The man didnât pull his punches, so it was a heavy blow. At that strike, Yvonne saw stars, and
blood trickled out of the corner of her mouth.
âWhat a load of crap! Would you have gotten STD if you havenât gone to the nightclub to prowl for men
even when you were together with Mr. Stovall? Did you think that wealthy men have no STD? Even if
they do, would they tell you? Youâll even do it with an old man in his sixties or seventies for a quick
buck, so who would believe you when you say you have no STD?â
Upon hearing this, a sense of unease flooded me. Could it be that Iâve truly hit the nail on the head, and
Yvonne Wilde truly has STD? At the thought of this, I hastily took out my phone and called John.
Fortunately, it was relatively quiet on his side when the call was connected. When he heard the
commotion on my end, he asked, âWhere are you? Why is it so noisy? And what happened?â
âIâm at the mall. Where are you?â I demanded. When I saw the man beating up Yvonne, my brows
inevitably creased. Standing up, I headed toward the security booth.
âIâm having tea with Emma. Would you like to join us? Uncle Louis has an exquisite tea that he has
kept for a few years, and the taste is rather good. You can come over and try some.â From his voice, it
seemed that he was getting along well with Emma today.
Smacking my lips, I retorted, âDonât tell me you stole the tea? Youâll be dead meat when Uncle Louis
learns of it. Oh yes, when were you last intimate with Yvonne Wilder?â
Pfft! The sound of water spraying out sounded, followed by his violent coughing on the other end.
âLetty, you did that on purpose, no? Even if you want to mess with me, you donât have to say such a
thing at precisely this moment. That question of yours is too personal!â
I propped my hand against my forehead in embarrassment. After deliberating for a moment, I urged,
âWell, just hurry up and tell me. I want to know! This concerns your entire life, so tell me quickly. Stop
dawdling!â
As mortification pervaded him, John cleared his throat and lowered his voice to a mere whisper as he
spoke into the phone. âLetty, can we speak about this at home? Emma is right in front of me now, so
how am I supposed to answer that? Are you sure youâre not doing this deliberately?â
