Her Billionaire Husband novel Chapter 478

Chapter 478 Yvonne Falls for His Trap Again

“I-I…” Yvonne couldn’t bring herself to say the words. So, she pursed her lips gently together, suppressed the sadness in her heart, and said. “Answer my question.”

All she wanted now was to find out why Conrad lied to her, and she needed to hear his reasons from him.

“There’s nothing I need to tell you.” He lowered his head and started working, taking his eyes away from her. “Get out. I’m going to work now,” he said and began to read a document carefully, ignoring Yvonne.

She was distressed and annoyed when faced with his indifference. Hence, she took a step forward, snatched the document out of his hands, and tossed it aside. “Tell me, what’s wrong with you?!”

This time, she raised her voice and yelled hysterically.

Conrad was shocked by her reaction as he stared at her in disbelief and was at a loss for words for a long while.

“Do you have cancer? Did you already have cancer six months ago, so you refused to pick up my calls after Zac caught me to make me lose hope in you? Is that right?”

Her heart was filled with anxiety without an answer from him, and tears rolled down her face uncontrollably from her swollen eyes, looking incredibly pitiful when she was sad and crying.

There was a split second when Conrad was shocked and touched by Yvonne’s reaction upon finding out that he had ‘cancer’. Despite that, his mind started replaying the things that had happened between him and Zac.

That night, he was taken away by Zac precisely because Yvonne had fibbed to Zac, and that was how he ended up being humiliated.

If it weren’t because of this woman in front of him, he would have never been violated by Zac.

Taken over by his self-esteem as a man, Conrad felt that he had suffered a great insult, and he directed and amplified all the abuses he had suffered from Zac on Yvonne.

Because of that, the affection and guilt that arose from her reaction disappeared in an instant.

All that was left was hate.

Even so, he had to finish his performance perfectly, and this was the moment an actor could display his skills.

“No!”

Conrad rose to his feet, reached out to pick up the document she had snatched away earlier, and returned to his seat again, continuing his work.

“That’s impossible! It’s not like that!” Yvonne shook her head repeatedly in disbelief, unable to accept the things he said. “Why? Why did you lie to me? Why?”

She choked as she sobbed, and her cries were so heartbreaking that she couldn’t handle all the emotions swirling in her. She slowly crouched down and cried helplessly with her head buried in her hands.

Conrad feigned composure as he pretended to be reading the document. When he noticed her crouched figure on the floor, he narrowed his eyes, and a smirk tinged the edges of his lips.

Yvonne Spencer, you brought this upon yourself! he thought. From now on, everything you go through will be your retribution.

After a long moment of silence, he drew a few pieces of tissue and passed them to her. “Stop crying… You’re affecting my work.”

She was startled by his sudden attention as she glanced at his face, which carried a trace of grief. Although he had said the cruelest things, it was all for her own good, and she couldn’t help the tears that rolled down her cheeks due to his considerate nature.

She felt incredibly annoyed as she sprang up and punched his shoulders repeatedly. “You’re a meanie! A meanie! Why did you lie to me? Why… Conrad, you’re an *sshole…” she cried, sniffling between her words.
