Chapter 689
Yene looked at the downeast Frankie, lowered her gaze, and irked Yawning, she got up slowly and raised an eyebrow
In her usual cool tone, she looked at the others and said, ‘Suit yourselves, before heading upstairs. Her figure was slender and carefree Jeremiah stood up and followed her upstairs casual
Once Yvette and Jeremiah went upstairs, only Frankie, Chris, and the rest were left in the living room. A minute later. Frankie’s phone rang again.
He checked and saw that out of the over 100 million dollars he transferred out, over 135 million dollars were returned. leaving exactly 30 million dollars, not a penny more or less.
Looking despaired, Frankie said. “Yvette might as well just rob met How long do you think it’ll take me to swindle 30 million dollars out of Chris?”
Chris looked at Frankie, who was grimacing, and his lips twitched. He wondered if he should just finish this guy off. Bruno looked at Chris sympathetically. Getting swindled by Frankie was really pitiful,
In the afternoon, a red invitation was directly handed to Bruno. He was playing a shooting game with Emmett and Chris when one of his close aides walked in with the invitation and respectfully said, “Chief, this is from West District. They hope you’ll honor them with your presence.”

Bruno took off his headphones, set down the gun, and picked up the invitation. Glancing at the name on it, he hesitated a bit before opening the envelope. After reading it, he tossed it on the table without saying anything, a menacing aura suddenly surrounded him.
Emmett and Chris fired their last shots and then turned around. Looking at Bruno’s demeanor, both exchanged glances. thinking. What happened? Wasn’t he fine just a moment ago? How did his mood plummet so suddenly?
Emmett and Chris put down their guns and walked over. As they reached Bruno, they noticed the red envelope on the table. At a glance, it was clearly a wedding invitation.
Bruno lifted his head and looked at the two of them, sarcastically pointing at the invitation, and said, “How ironic. My first love was marrying my rival, and she even sent me an invitation. Won’t she fear I’d show up and just shoot those filthy cheaters?
Hearing this, Emmett and Chris immediately knew something was off. Given how they had interacted with Bruno over the past few days, they knew he didn’t seem like the type who couldn’t move on.
His strong reaction to mentioning his ex–girlfriend indicated that their breakup wasn’t amicable.
Chris looked at the invitation and said to Bruno, “If you don’t want to go, then don’t. Just burn it and be done with it Emmett remained silent. But seeing Bruno’s expression, it seemed that his feelings for his first love weren’t ordinary Bruno spat disdainfully. “Four years ago, that woman cheated on me with my rival and spilled a lot of my secrets, almost getting me killed. If it weren’t for the years of feelings and the fact that she once carried my child, I would’ve killed her long ago.”
Emmett recalled the information they had gathered earlier and said seriously. “Your rival is Orlando, right?”
Bruno was taken aback, not expecting Emmett to know about his enemy. But then again, it made sense. After all, when they first came to negotiate with him for the rescue, they must’ve investigated him.
Bruno didn’t hesitate and said directly. “Yes, it’s him, that jerk. If he knew Yvette was here, he wouldn’t dare send this invitation. He wouldn’t even have the guts to do it, coward.”
Chapter 689
Emmett and Chris didn’t expect that this situation also involved vette. Chris asked, “Orlando knows Yvette
Bruno was silent for a few seconds before nodding. “Yes. Do you remember the rescue of a hundred women in Spania four years ago! It made headlines worldwide for half a month.”
Emmett and Chris exchanged glances. That incident was highly sensational back then, and of course, they knew about it.
Someone had single–handedly confronted Spainia pirates and rescued over a hundred women, yet never left their name, sparking many speculations among people.
Chris frowned and asked. “What does this have to do with Yvette and your enemy?”
Bruno lit a cigarette and took a puff. Amidst the swirling smoke, memories from four years ago started flooding back to him He said. “My first girlfriend and I were together for five years. I don’t know what Orlando promised her, but she betrayed
“During a hijacking, we fell into Orlando’s trap. My men and I almost lost our lives. That’s when I met Yvette. Perhaps she took a liking to me and casually saved my life.”
At this point, Bruno couldn’t help but feel grateful, thinking that fate hadn’t abandoned him by letting him meet Yvette
It was during that encounter with Yvette that he was given a new lease of life, allowing him to reach his current position and gain the influence he has today.
Emmett and Chris weren’t shocked by this. Their expressions remained calm. Randomly saving someone she found likable was exactly something Yvette would do.
Bruno took a deep drag of his cigarette, exhaling rings of smoke adding, “After Yvette saved me, I went into a slump for a few days because of that woman. Then Yvette dragged me out of bed, and shoved me into a sink, almost drowning me.
“She told me that if I kept moping around, she might as well finish me off right away. That snapped me back to reality instantly. I realized I couldn’t let a woman ruin everything I had worked so hard to achieve.”
Emmett and Chris didn’t expect that Bruno was actually a romantic at heart.
Bruno gave a self–deprecating laugh. At that moment, he understood that love was just absolute nonsense.
He continued, “When Yvette was spending time in Somalia, she came across Orlando’s uncle, Bobby Fabri, who was the most powerful figure among us pirates.
“This man used the women he captured as sex slaves, tortured them, and even harvested their organs to sell on the black market. Countless women died at his hands.
“At that time, he had over 200 women still alive, enduring horrific lives every day. Bobby was ruthless. While most of us were simply after ransom money, he enjoyed torturing and killing the women he captured. He was a total psychopath
