Secretary’s Secret Lover By Zayla Quinn Chapter 168 I’m Here to Save You

Yvette shook her head. “We didn’t get back together, and we didn’t plan to in the future. I didn’t feel well last night, so he stayed here to take care of me.”

It seemed that Yvette was explaining to Charlie. In fact, she murmured to herself.

Ever since they got divorced, Yvette didn’t mean to get back together, and she had held that she and Lance were done.

However, what Lance just said still scared her a little.

Lance could even greet Charlie calmly. It meant Lance was determined to win. That was why he was so calm.

The more Yvette thought about it, the angrier she became. In her eyes, Lance loved her appearance more than her inner beauty.

Charlie felt much better for no reason, and it was wonderful.

Charlie flipped this idea and put on a smile. “What did you want to say just now?”

Yvette took a deep breath and apologized, “Charlie, I think we should stop seeing each other.”

Charlie’s face instantly became gloomy. He pinched her wrist and asked, “Why?”

Yvette was a little surprised by the sudden change in Charlie’s expression.

Moreover, Charlie pinched her hard, and it hurt her very much.

Yvette could not help but say, “Charlie, you…”

Only then did Charlie realize it. After letting go, he smiled gently. “Sorry, Yve, it’s my fault.”

Upon his smile, Yvette recovered from the shock and said, “It doesn’t matter.”

“This is the second time you dumped me. Is it because of Mr. Wolseley again?”

“I’m afraid it will affect your career, so we should keep our distance.” Yvette did not deny it.

Charlie forced a smile. “What if it’s already been affected?”

Yvette was dumbfounded and asked, “What do you mean?”

“I was fired by IA Investment Bank. They said that I manipulated the transaction, and I’m not allowed to work in the investment bank in the future,” Charlie said casually.

But it dealt a great blow to Yvette.

Yvette thought, Charlie has been studying hard for many years but lost his job because of me, and he’s

banned by the entire industry. It must be hard to accept it.

No wonder Lance could greet Charlie so calmly in the morning. Lance must have known about this matter long ago, or he made that.

Yvette didn’t know how to comfort Charlie. She said seriously, “Charlie, I’m sorry.”

“It’s fine.” Charlie chuckled. “I might have to return to Luxembourg in the future. My family’s business is over

there, and others won’t be able to reach that far.”

Charlie pretended that it didn’t matter. Given that, Yvette felt bad and apologized, “Charlie, I’m sorry. I’m really

sorry. It’s all my fault.”

Charlie smiled gently. “I really don’t blame you. In other words, I would go back to inherit family property. Do

you feel better?”

Yvette thought, if Charlie really wanted to go back and inherit the family property, he should have gone back

long ago.

Now he’s forced to do this.

“Yve, do you want to go with me?” Charlie suddenly asked.

“Me?” Yvette was surprised.

Although she had plans to go to Luxembourg to study, it was very strange to be together with Charlie. At

best, they were just friends and classmates.

“Why?” Yvette asked.

In fact, Charlie had his own ideas. His father handed the company abroad over to him, and he had to go, but

Charlie thought it was a good idea to bring Yvette with him.

In terms of appearance, Charlie admitted that he and Lance were not the same type. They had their own

advantages and could not be compared.

As for status, Lance was powerful at home, so he might not be able to win against Charlie abroad.

Thus, Charlie thought it was easy to persuade Yvette.

Most importantly, Charlie had to admit that he seemed to care more and more about Yvette.

This made him very unhappy.

In Charlie’s eyes, women were all as lowly as the woman who gave birth to him.

That woman gave birth to him, but she did not cherish him and treated him badly.

So, when that woman was on the verge of death from taking drugs, Charlie did not shed a single tear, nor did

he help her call an ambulance.

Charlie just watched that woman, who deserved it, struggle to the last moment.

Charlie hid his feelings and explained, “Because I feel that you are not happy staying here.”

Although Charlie’s suggestion was very tempting, Yvette shook her head and refused him.

“I don’t have that idea for now.”

Yvette wanted to go abroad, but she didn’t want to trouble anyone.

She could make it on her own.

Charlie smiled very gently and said, “Take your time. There is still half a year. If you want to go, I will take you

away.”

Yvette did not speak. She felt that she couldn’t leave with Charlie.

She got up and said, “Charlie, wait a moment.”

Then, Yvette went into the room, took out the gift given by Rebecca, and handed it to Charlie.

At the sight of that, Charlie said, “No need, Yve. You worked hard that day. You deserve this.”

Yvette insisted on giving him that. She would not accept anything that did not belong to her.

After Charlie walked out…

Charlie’s face turned gloomy instantly.

Thinking back to how Yvette rejected him without hesitation, Charlie felt pain in his heart.

Charlie thought, it’s impossible.

Do I really have a thing for Yvette?

His phone vibrated. Charlie picked it up and heard quietly.

He turned back to look at Yvette’s window and said coldly, “Tell her the whereabouts, and let her take the

bait.”

The Shoal Mental Institution in New York.

Yazmin was locked in a small dark room.

It was airtight, and the stench was filling the room.

Rats ran around, and some of them would even climb onto Yazmin’s feet. She could only try her best to endure, afraid that she would step on the dead rats.

Yazmin failed to escape again, and this was her punishment.

When she first arrived at Shoal Mental Institution, Yazmin had been complaining that she was not crazy and

that she was forcefully sent in.

In the beginning, the nurse would ask Yazmin who sent her in.

Yazmin blurted out, “It’s the president of the Wolseley Group, Lance!”

The doctors and nurses were all stunned. Soon after, they thought that Yazmin must have gone crazy. They kept a closer watch on her. Yazmin had to watch some videos for two hours every day to enhance the

thought that she was crazy.

Over time, Yazmin learned to cooperate.

However, she never gave up on escaping. Yazmin wanted to escape and get back at Yvette.

Yazmin thought, without Yvette, I would have long been Mrs. Wolseley. How could I be reduced to such a

state?

After a long time, the heavy iron door was pushed open, and a person walked in gracefully.

It was dark in the room, and Yazmin could not see the man’s appearance clearly. She could only tell that he

was very handsome.

Yazmin wondered, can it be Lance?

Yazmin burst into tears and rushed up to hug the man, but she was kicked away by the man.

Squeak…

There was a shrill scream, and it felt furry. This made Yazmin roll on the ground.

Yazmin screamed.

She fell on the dead rats.

That wasn’t the case. Yazmin crushed the rat to death.

There was the flesh and blood of the rat on her body. It was so smelly and dirty.

Yazmin screamed hysterically and crawled forward.

She cried, “Lance, save me. Please save me.

“Lance, you can’t do this to me. I saved you before. If you treat me like this because of that bitch, you will

regret it.

“Ah, I want to kill Yvette. I’ll kill her.”

Yazmin was in a crazy state, and it was not wrong to say that she was a madman.

“Idiot…”

In the quiet dark room, a man’s voice came. He showed great disdain.

Yazmin was stunned when she heard that. The man’s voice was clear, but it was not Lance’s voice.
