Talented Heiress A Rose with Thorns (Yvette and Wilson) novel Chapter 846

In the past, while Lionel may not have been incredibly handsome, he had decent features and a fit figure.

However, now his eyes were sunken in, and his cheeks looked hollow, while his right pant leg hung empty. He was so thin he looked like a skeleton and seemed to hover between human and ghost, his entire appearance extremely frightening.

"Lionel, you're still alive! Oh, this is wonderful!" Victoria said softly.

She suppressed the malice in her heart, acting as if she was so happy she wanted to cry.

"It's truly wonderful that I still get to see you again, Lionel!"

This idiot knew too many of her secrets. Although she had no idea why he wasn't dead, she had to pacify him right now and prevent him from saying anything against her!

A hint of disdain flashed in her eyes, accompanied by a hint of smugness.

That fool liked her so much that as long as she casually said some nice things to him, he would definitely be of use to her!

Yvette had miscalculated in trying to use Lionel against her!

"Lionel, why didn't you come find me if you were still alive? Do you know how sad I was to receive the news of your death?"

She stepped forward—her face a mask of concern—and reached out to touch Lionel. If this was the past, he would definitely have been over the moon to be touched by her, yet now he simply gave her a cold glance and backed away, avoiding her touch.

When she saw him avoiding her as if she was some venomous snake, her expression instantly turned ugly.

How dare he treat her this way?

Her heart burned with fury, but she could only swallow down her rage for now. Her gaze fell on the empty space where his right leg should have been, and she muffled her gasp, deciding to change topics.

"Your leg… Lionel, what happened to your leg?"

At her words, Lionel's gaze on her turned even colder, and his expression showed a deep hatred.
