Clark had a good head on his shoulders. He did not keep anything from Janine but did not divulge too much either, briefing her on Yale and Matthew’s recent activities without missing a beat.
Janine considered her son’s state in the Hamertons and decided not to enter Zen Residence first but to probe about Yale.
She said with a chuckle, “Since I rarely visit, I have a present for the eldest heir. Please take me to Yale Residence!”
…
Yale was cursing Zephyr on the couch in his place because his father was dismissed from his job.
Yelena picked up the clothes on the floor and peeked at the mirror. She was scared and resentful when she saw the wounds covering her body.
Yelena knew she was just a plaything at the beck and call of Yale, but she dared not offend him. She was intimidated by the Hamertons’ influence and also fantasized about marrying into the family one day—even if Yale would not be a good husband, she just needed the status of being Mrs. Hamerton.
Therefore, she went over to kneel beside him, picked up one of his legs, and massaged it gently.
“Mr. Yale…” she called out with a cutesy voice.
Yale glanced at her with impatience. He got together with her in the beginning for the novelty and kept her around later upon finding her rather obedient.
Who knew that this woman would cling to him!? Not only that, but she also kept making requests over the line. When he fooled around with her the last time, she suddenly asked when he was going to marry her. It made his heart lurch.
Yale punched the couch in frustration. His already thin face looked paler and more sinister.
Yelena was frightful, unable to figure out his temper, but she could see the evil in his eyes.
She asked shakily, “M-Mr. Yale, what happened?”
Yale looked at her and suddenly got up to kick her, venting his anger on her.
“How dare you f*cking ask me what happened?” He said through his gritted teeth, “If you didn’t pretend to be Cordelia and got in my bed, I’d be stepping on Zephyr right now!”
