Chapter 2 His Ruthlessness
Lance’s beautiful eyes did not reveal any emotion. Marvin’s words did not attract hist
attention.
Yvette had always been gentle, and she was not a jealous woman.
As long as Yvette behaved herself, Lance would treat her well.
In the elevator…
Yvette looked up, not wanting her tears to fall, but tears fell from the corners of her eyes and quickly disappeared into her ears.
She thought that two years was long enough to win Lance’s love, and Lance would find out how good she was.
But all of this was just Yvette’s wishful thinking.
It turned out that no matter how hard Yvette tried, she was not as good as Lance’s ex,
who had returned.
When the elevator door opened, Yvette had returned to normal, but her face was pale.
Yvette dragged herself to the break room, wanting to make a cup of coffee to sober herself up.
The chatting of a few employees inside entered Yvette’s ears.
“Have you seen the news? Yazmin has returned.”
“Who is she?”
“You don’t know? Yazmin’s father is the president of the Myers Group, and Yazmin is a senior designer. The key is that she is the only girlfriend that our president has acknowledged. I heard that she is Mr. Wolseley’s first girlfriend.”
“Isn’t it rumored that Mr. Wolseley and Yvette have an affair?”
“Yvette? At most, she’s just Mr. Wolseley’s sex partner. Mr. Wolseley has never acknowledged her. Yvette is so proud. She thinks she will be Mrs. Wolseley. How stupid!”
Yvette curled her lips and smiled sarcastically, feeling that anyone could see better than
her.
Yvette was the only one who was confused.
“Ahem, have you woken up
from
your dream?”
A mocking voice came from behind. The one who came in was Lance’s cousin, Emilie Thackeray. She had always been at odds with Yvette.
Emilie must have heard the gossip of the employees.
Yvette did not want to have a conflict with Emilie in the company and turned to leave, but Emilie blocked her path.
Emilie held the coffee she just made and said with a mean face, “Now that Yazmin is back. Do you think Lance will sleep with a lowly good–for–nothing like you?”
Seeing Yvette ignore her, Emilie continued to ridicule her.
“Do you need me to introduce some old men to you? Anyway, you are good in bed. It
doesn’t matter whom you sleep with.”
Yvette’s hands, which were hanging by her sides, were secretly clenched. She said coldly, “This is the company, not a brothel. Ms. Thackeray, if you want to do business, you should go somewhere else.”
“You…”
Yvette was indirectly scolding her for being a prostitute.
Emilie’s expression changed.
She suddenly splashed the hot coffee on Yvette.
Yvette did not expect Emilie to be so crazy. Yvette hurriedly reached out. The hot coffee was poured on her arm. Her snow–white skin instantly turned red.

Emilie felt a chill down her spine.
Lance’s handsome face darkened. “I will not say that again. Put away your evil thoughts
and don’t touch Yvette.”
Emilie was scared by Lance’s terrifying aura, and the vicious moves that had just sprouted in her heart were gone.
She stuttered, “I know…”
Lance glanced coldly at Emilie. As he left, he instructed Frankie, who was behind him,
“Outsiders are not allowed to come in.”
Emilie was ignorant and flattered, “Lance, your company is so big. It’s right for everyone to follow the rules.”
The next second, Frankie stepped forward and gestured to her. “Ms. Thackeray, please.”
Only then did Emilie realize that she was an outsider. She wanted to chase after Lance,
but she was dragged out by the security guard Frankie called over.
No matter how Emilie threw a tantrum, the security guard didn’t show any mercy.
Yvette returned to the office and got changed.
Thinking of Lance’s cold face, she was filled with sorrow.
It was time to get off work.
Frankie stopped Yvette at the exit.
He said, “Ms. Thiel, Mr. Wolseley has something urgent to do, so he told me to send you
off.”
Yvette refused.
Yvette used to be confused, but now sue woke up to something….
She thought, who the hell do I think I’m?
How can Lance go to see my grandmother with me?
When Yvette arrived at the hospital, the nurse was preparing to feed Phoebe. Yvette
took the food and personally fed Phoebe.
Phoebe used to live in the countryside. Last month, she was diagnosed with pancreatic
cancer. Despite Phoebe’s objection, Yvette insisted on taking her to town for treatment.
Phoebe did not know about Yvette’s secret marriage.
Yvette planned to bring Lance over today to tell Phoebe and give her a surprise, but now
it seemed like it was unnecessary.
After Phoebe fell asleep, Yvette came out of the ward and stood at the door, waiting for
taxis.
In the distance, a black luxury car stopped in front of the hospital.
Yvette’s eyes lit up. The car belonged to Lance.
Did he come to the hospital to find her?
Yvette forgot about her grievances and unhappiness.
Lance came to look for Yvette. It meant that he cared about her…
The car door opened, and Lance got out of the car.
Yvette walked over in delight.
In the next second, she was stunned.
Lance went to the other side, bent down, and carefully carried a girl down.
Lance’s handsome face was full of nervousness and worry.
In an instant, Yvette’s face was drained of color, and her heart was broken.
