Chapter 11

"Don't be like that, Charles…" Tiffany tugged on Charles' sleeve before looking at Yvonne guiltily. "I'm sorry, Yvie. Charles didn't mean it like that. I was the one who was out of line.""Don't try to defend her! I know her better than you do—she's just jealous of you!" Charles frowned.Yvonne watched them echo each other's words as they stood there. Suddenly, she was reminded of her previous life.Back then, Charles and Tiffany had sat before her and thrown the divorce agreement at her. At the time, Charles' tone had been icy, and he'd looked like he was in a rush to sever ties with her. Meanwhile, Tiffany had tried to talk him into putting things nicely.Yet when Charles had stepped away briefly, Tiffany had gone into detail about how Charles had never forgotten her and had constantly contacted her.Only then did Yvonne realize her three-year marriage was a joke. She and Charles had gotten engaged at 18, a period that had stretched for five years, followed by three years of mea

"Hurry and head to the infirmary. Make sure your bones aren't injured." Alison looked at Shawn. "Take Yvonne there, Shawn.""Got it." Shawn accompanied Yvonne downstairs.When he saw her bowed head and trembling shoulders, he thought she was in severe pain. After some hesitation, he reached out to pat her shoulder and tell her not to take Charles too seriously.Unexpectedly, when they got to the foot of the staircase, Yvonne suddenly started laughing.Shawn was taken aback. "Wait, you…""Sorry, Shawn. I couldn't resist." She dried the tears at the corners of her eyes. "You didn't believe my act, did you?""Your act?""Did you really think I was crying?" she asked."Weren't you?""Of course not." She stretched her arms. "I won't cry because of an idiot like Charles.""Then why did you…" Shawn started."This afternoon's classes are too boring. Going to the infirmary gives me a legitimate excuse to skip." Yvonne patted his shoulder. "Join me."Shawn was speechless.…Charles

Charles pulled the jacket off Yvonne. Sure enough, he saw the bruise on her back. That made him falter.Yvonne slapped him in embarrassment, which echoed the one she'd given him earlier.His ears buzzed from the impact, and he glared at her. "How dare you hit me again, Yvonne!""Why wouldn't I, you pervert?" she snapped."I'm a pervert?" He pointed at himself like he'd heard a joke. "Who the hell's the pervert here? Who's the one dressed like this and flaunting it to another guy?""Shawn was helping me check my injury—what about you? We don't know each other well enough for you to barge in here and rip my clothes off!"Charles didn't miss the hint of loathing in Yvonne's gaze. She never would've looked at him like that in the past."Don't know each other well enough?" He barked out an irritated, clipped laugh. "We grew up together, Yvonne. Is there any inch of your body that I haven't seen? Now, you're saying we don't know each other well?""Grew up together? How can you be sha

Charles' expression darkened at Yvonne's tears.Even Regina was taken aback. Yvonne was usually meek and silent; she didn't say much, let alone cry. Now, however, she was weeping like she'd suffered a huge grievance.Alison immediately soothed Yvonne before looking at Regina. "You can see what things are like, Mrs. Lambert. This incident has already negatively impacted the students. Would they dare tell the truth even if something really did happen?""Yvonne, you—" Regina was about to get mad when Charles beat her to it.He gave her an ugly look and snapped, "Drop the act, Yvonne!"He was so loud that Yvonne curled up in Alison's arms fearfully. Alison frowned and growled, "Do you think you're the one in the right after you hit your classmates, Charles?""Am I in the right? Of course I am! I got into a fight, did I? Well, Yvonne slapped me! How are you going to handle that?" Charles shouted."What? She slapped you?" Regina's expression shifted at that. "Where? Show me!"The han

"You're not dating?" Regina was surprised to hear Yvonne say that. Why would the latter and Charles get a room at a motel, then?She thought Yvonne was just embarrassed, so she said, "I know you're embarrassed, Yvie, but I'm not narrow-minded. Didn't you and Charles go to a motel together?""You've misunderstood, Mrs. Lambert. I wasn't the one who went there with Charles," Yvonne said."Yvonne!" Charles' expression turned stormy. He didn't expect her to just blurt that out."What? It wasn't you? Who was it, then?" Regina's voice rose several octaves.Yvonne feigned surprise. "You don't know about this, Mrs. Lambert? Charles went there with his girlfriend.""Girlfriend? Where have you suddenly found a girlfriend from?" Regina glowered at Charles."Shut up, Yvonne! Tiff isn't my girlfriend; she—" Charles started.Yvonne clapped a hand over her mouth when he exposed himself. "I'm so sorry. I thought you guys had to be dating if you got a room together. Hasn't that happened yet?"

"How is it any of my business what people say about Tiffany?" Yvonne stabbed Charles' chest with each word she uttered. "She has to bear the consequences of her actions! Am I even close to her? Why should I take the blame for her? Are we all supposed to clean up her messes just because she's poor?"If you really care about her, man up and protect her in your own way instead of forcing me onto a moral high ground! Besides, what does this whole thing have to do with me? What makes you think you can drag me into this?"Charles was rendered speechless by her words. He was so used to Yvonne dealing with all his troubles that he'd naturally expected her to also help him this time. Unexpectedly, she wasn't doing it.As she turned to leave, he grabbed her arm and snarled, "Stop making excuses for yourself, Yvonne! You're just refusing to help Tiff because you're jealous of her! Why else would you have helped with everything that I asked of you but not this? It's because it has to do with Ti

Sophia was ashen, evidently frightened from what she'd witnessed. "C-Charles! Yvonne, Yvonne…""Yvonne? Her again?" The mere mention of Yvonne was enough to irritate Charles."Yvonne… I saw someone abduct her!" Sophia cried.Charles' expression shifted drastically. He grabbed Sophia by the shoulders as his gaze bore into hers. "What did you say? Make yourself clear! Who abducted Yvonne?""I-I didn't see any faces. They had a mask and cap on—they looked like a guy. They dragged her into a white van!" She was so frightened that her voice trembled.Charles couldn't be bothered about her. He left her behind as he ran back into the school."Charles, where are you going? Yvonne wasn't taken into the school!" Sophia cried, looking as pale as a sheet.…The sky had gone dark. Yvonne blearily opened her eyes to be greeted by absolute darkness. Wherever she was, the place reeked."Fuck, where did Michael Sullivan hide his money?""Calm down. We already have his daughter—we can get the

Chapter 18

Bruce and Jim were about to get physical with Yvonne when they heard a car pull up outside. They turned around to see who it was.Yvonne's line of sight was blocked, so she couldn't see what was going on. Bruce ran out while Jim gagged her.Someone seemed to get out of the car. Yvonne vaguely saw the guy's leather shoes and tall figure.Bruce said, "W-We're thinking of ways to get the money, sir! We'll pay you back after tonight, I swear!""My time is precious, and I don't want to waste it listening to rubbish. All I need to know is that you can repay me," the man said. His voice was deep and mysterious. But why did Yvonne feel like she'd heard it before?"Of course, of course!" Bruce practically groveled at the man's feet.The man lit a cigarette and patted Bruce on the shoulder, sounding almost teasing as he said, "If the money isn't in my account by tomorrow, I'll slice your flesh off and feed them to the dogs."Bruce wiped his sweat and said, "Don't worry, sir. I promise I'l

A loud crash came from the abandoned factory's door, giving Bruce and Jim the shock of their lives. It turned out William had returned.Bruce hurried forward with an ingratiating smile. "Sir, what are you—Ah!"William kicked him in the chest before he could finish. His face twisted in pain from the kick, and he looked panicked. "Sir, why are you…"William's eyes gleamed frostily in the darkness of the night. "Who gave you the nerve to touch what's mine?""Y-Yours, sir? I wouldn't dare! How would I dare touch someone who's yours?" Bruce stammered."Where is Yvonne?"Only then did Bruce realize he'd abducted Yvonne when she was under William's protection!"S-She's inside…" He was so scared that he peed himself. He was terrified that William would shoot him without a word.William glanced at Matthew. "Keep an eye on him.""Yes, sir."William strode inside. He saw Yvonne collapsed on the floor with Charles beside her. They were both unconscious."Yvie?" William pulled Yvonne int

Yvonne thanked her lucky stars she'd had the foresight to allow William to track her location. It had helped save her from being murdered by Bruce and Jim.She asked, "Have you found out who my abductors are? What are their names?"William said, "They're just idiots who wanted your inheritance. I'll deal with this, so don't worry about it."Yvonne nodded. "Alright. Thanks, Will.""Rest so you can recover. I'll deal with your discharge procedures.""Okay." She nodded again.As William got up and left, she saw his back out of the corner of her eye. That was when her blood froze over.It was him. She was sure about it. He had the same leather shoes and the same back—he was the person Bruce and Jim had reported to!When William returned, he saw Yvonne looking ashen. "What's wrong? Are you in pain?"He was about to check her wound when she reflexively dodged him. His hand stiffened in mid-air.Yvonne forced herself to remain calm, saying, "I-It does hurt a little.
