Sweet Subterfuge novel by Trina Duo novel Chapter 556

Just as Larissa opened the report, her assistant rushed in anxiously to say, "There's an argument going on between Yvette and someone at the elevator!"

She knew well how difficult and unpleasant Yvette could be, and how harsh her words could sound. Things never turned out well whenever she got into an argument with someone.

She immediately dropped her mouse and hurriedly made her way toward the elevator. Little did she know that even from a distance, she could hear the words Yvette shouted.

She froze in her tracks. She could clearly see the man standing alongside Yvette. The father she had thought about and longed for all these years had appeared before her in this manner. Despite being familiar enough with Gary to confide in him, she felt timid and couldn't bring herself to take another step closer at this moment.

The three individuals standing at the elevator entrance hadn't noticed her yet. Even though Gary was slightly shorter than Yvette in high heels, he still exuded an intimidating presence that overshadowed her.

He sneered, "Yvette, if anyone deserves to die, it's you."

His current appearance felt foreign and unfamiliar to Yvette. In her memory, Gary was nothing more than an obsequious and subservient pushover. The reason she had chosen to marry him was because he was the most obedient among the ordinary men she knew. She couldn't accept his mockery, let alone the fact that her former "slave" had transformed into a lofty CEO, trampling her underfoot.

Immediately, a surge of pent-up anger and frustration overwhelmed her. Without thinking, she raised her hand to slap Gary's face, just like how she would react every time he had infuriated her in the past. However, this time, before her hand could reach its target, it was intercepted by someone.

The towering man beside Gary grasped her wrist with a force that could easily snap her bones, his expression darkened in anger.
