I Become A CEO After Divorce novel Chapter 1017

Chapter 1017: The Read Family's Recruit

Bonnie's words left the woman frozen in place for a moment. She couldn't find words to respond, just staring at Bonnie in silence. After a while, Bonnie turned to Yanis and said, "You go inside."

Yanis furrowed her brows and looked at Bonnie. "What's going on?"

Bonnie whispered, "It's a long story. I'll tell you later. You..."

Before Bonnie could finish her sentence, the woman in front of her suddenly lunged towards Bonnie.

In that split second, Yanis reflexively grabbed Bonnie's arm and pulled her closer to herself, but it was too late. The woman's scissors were aimed at Bonnie.

However, before the scissors could reach her, they were stopped by a firm hand. It was Lane, who had appeared out of nowhere, grabbing the woman's hand and applying slight pressure, causing her to let go of the scissors.

The scissors fell to the ground.

Both Yanis and Bonnie were surprised to see Lane suddenly appear.

After pushing the woman away, Lane turned to Bonnie and asked, "Are you okay?"

Bonnie shook her head. "I'm fine. Why are you here?"

Lane replied, "I happened to have something to take care of nearby, so I came over."

After responding to Bonnie, Lane turned to look at the woman who had just tried to stab Bonnie with scissors. His voice turned cold. "Your actions just now could be considered attempted murder."

The woman felt a hint of fear in Lane's cold gaze. She stammered, "Who are you? What do you have to do with this?"

Lane's expression remained cold as he replied, "I'm a lawyer."

Although the woman appeared aggressive, upon hearing Lane's identity, her expression changed drastically. She glanced at Bonnie and then at Lane before finally cursing a few words and turning to leave.

"Wait!" Lane called out as the woman tried to leave.

Bonnie reached out and pulled Lane, whispering, "Let her go."

When Lane heard Bonnie's words, he looked at her in surprise. "Just let her go like that?"

Bonnie bent down to pick up the scattered items. "Let her go."

Lane glanced at the woman for a few seconds, then turned to help Bonnie collect the items.

The reason why the woman came to cause trouble today was that both Linda and Stanley were absent from the store. If they had been there, things wouldn't have escalated to this point.

After the woman left, Lane helped Bonnie tidy up everything.

Yanis looked at the onlookers and said, "Disperse."

Everyone turned and left.
