Yvette raised her head stiffly and looked at Melissa in disbelief.
It was not because of what Melissa said about Yvette, but what Melissa said before that - money laundering, drug dealing, and underground brothels. Was Sean involved in all these now?
Yvette's heart froze.
It felt like the blood in her body was slowly coagulating.
No wonder Sean was so supercilious and unscrupulous.
He disregarded the law by breaking into Yvette’s home, beating them up, robbing them, and imprisoning her.
It turned out that Sean had long infringed the law.
He took a path of no return.
It was because of this news that Yvette completely panicked.
If Sean was fearless, how could Yvette leave?
Melissa smiled and comforted Yvette.
"Ms. Quimbey, since you're already here, just stay here obediently. It'll be better for you to listen to him. We can only survive if we obey him."
Yvette's heart thudded.
Her face turned pale, and she slowly moved her gaze up to Melissa's face. She frowned and said, "We? What's your relationship with him?"
Yvette only noticed after the fact that Melissa's expression was different at the mention of Sean.
Yvette thought that she was so stupid and careless.
How could a promising college student forgo her bright future to stay with Sean just because he helped her?
Melissa would only do so if they were in an intimate relationship.
Sure enough, Melissa lowered her head shyly and looked at Yvette timidly.
"My relationship with him is just like yours. But don't worry, I won't do anything to you. I’m just happy to stay by his side. There used to be a lot of women here, but as soon as you came, Mr. Moore kicked everyone out. It's only you and me here now, so I'll take good care of you."
Yvette's heart kept sinking like it was falling into an abyss. She felt terribly cold.
She also felt nauseated and wanted to throw up the meal she had earlier.
Seeing Melissa's innocent face, Yvette felt a chill in her heart.
Yvette opened her mouth but did not know what to say.
She did not know whether she should condemn such an ignorant but "tolerant" Melissa or condemn Sean, the perpetrator.
Yvette sneered.
She thought that Sean was in pain because he hated her so much for dumping him.
When Yvette found out that Sean had more than one woman around him, she thought,' What right does Sean have to hate me so much?'
They had already ended things, so why did Sean have to disrupt her peaceful life?
Seeing Yvette's helpless and shocked face, Melissa blinked innocently.
"Ms. Quimbey, are you alright?”
Yvette gave her a complicated and deep look and pursed her lips.
"You’re his woman, so why are you so generous to let me stay here? Aren't you afraid that I’ll make Sean kick you out?"
Melissa's face turned pale in horror.
"Ms. Quimbey, don't worry. I know that Mr. Moore likes you the most, so I won't fight with you. I just want to stay by his side.'
Looking at Melissa, Yvette seemed to see a reflection of herself when she was with Sean a few years ago.
Was Yvette also that reckless?
No, she was not.
At that time, Yvette was completely kept in the dark.
Yvette felt torn apart from the inside and was extremely uncomfortable.
Melissa saw that Yvette was not in the mood to continue eating, so she packed up the cutlery and was about to leave.
Suddenly, Yvette stopped her.
"Your silk scarf is very beautiful. Can you lend it to me? I don't even know whose dress I’m wearing. It's too revealing."
The marks Sean left on Yvette's body were very obvious.
If she wore a scarf, it would cover those traces.
Melissa looked at Yvette, lowered her head, put the tableware on the ground, then took off her silk scarf and handed it to Yvette.
