Yvette was grieving and passed out at some point.
She was worried about all the unknown and could only be a doll that Sean kept in a glasshouse for people to watch.
When Yvette woke up again, she was in a completely unfamiliar room.
Everything from last night rushed into her mind.
Her face was pale as she sat up abruptly.
The unfamiliar environment made her feel more insecure.
She wanted to get out of bed, but she suddenly tripped over something.
When she looked down, she saw a white nylon rope tied to her ankles.
Yvette's heart kept sinking into an abyss.
While she panicked, her feet were soaked in blood. That feeling and dead silence made her feel unsettled.
Nothing she could reach could become a weapon that she could use to threaten others. There was not even a vase in the room.
Yvette suddenly snapped and shrieked.
Finally, someone came over and pushed the door open.
Sean was wearing a black shirt and trousers. His face was still cold as usual.
"You woke up? I'll bring you breakfast in a while.”
"What are you trying to do? Didn't you get the money? I have more money besides the cash in the safe. I'll give it all to you if you let me go. Please just let me go!"
Yvette's voice was hoarse. Her throat was still sore and did not recover overnight.
She did not forget the looks that Sean's subordinates had when they saw the gold and jewelry in her safe.
Thus, she thought that they came for money.
However, Sean just stood there, unmoved by her proposition.
He sneered. There seemed to be a bit of indifference and mockery in his eyes.
"Money? Yvette, I don't want money. I want you."
The room seemed to be dead silent from despair.
"Why? Do you hate me so much?"
Yvette looked at him in disbelief.
She did not expect that breaking up with someone would have such a serious consequence.
Sean looked at her for a few seconds, then walked forward slowly.
He exuded such a strong and intimidating vibe.
Sean pinched her chin with no warmth or pity in his eyes.
"I do, especially when I see how well you've been living. I hate you even more. You probably don’t know, huh? After we broke up, I deliberately approached you, but you drove me away and ignored me like I’m a piece of garbage. Yvette, how could you treat me like this?! We're the same people who don’t care what the world thinks of us. I live in fear every day, but what about you?
You were just enjoying life with Lance!"
Yvette's eyes widened as she held back her tears. She asked, "So, you want to take revenge on me, right? Just kill me or hit me then! Why did you beat him up?! Why?!"
Yvette did not want anything to happen to Lance even if it meant she would be beaten half to death.
That was because this was all her fault.
Everything happened because of her.
What did Lance do wrong?
Since they got married, Lance loved her and took care of her. He did not neglect her in the slightest.
Yvette felt that she must be living such a good life because of all the accumulated good karma in her previous life.
The moment Yvette thought about Lance getting beaten up for her sake, she felt suffocated and miserable.
Sean stared at her and sneered.
"How can I bear to hit you? Yvette, I know you. Hitting you won't make me feel better either. I want you to fall in love with me again so that you can feel what it's like to have your love unrequited. Only then will I consider letting you go!”
Yvette's heart trembled as she looked at his dark eyes in disbelief.
