After Sean said that, the air instantly turned cold.
Mr. Cash’s fat and lewd face looked shocked. His eyes were bulging out.
“Sean Moore!”
He was about to start cursing when the old master interrupted with a glum face.
“That’s enough! Did you guys come here to quarrel today?”
Sean glanced at Mr. Cash indifferently.
The old master snorted coldly and was dissatisfied with both of them.
However, he did not hesitate and pointed to Melissa.
“You can take her away, but on one condition.”
Sean raised his eyebrows. “Old Master, just name your condition.
The old master looked at Yvette, squinted his eyes, and deliberated for a moment.
“Let her stay by my side for a while.”
Sean’s face instantly turned cold.
Yvette was so shocked that she did not know how to react.
She looked at Sean strangely, with a bit of worry and panic in her eyes because she was afraid that Sean would agree to the old master’s conditions.
Mr. Cash chuckled lightly.
Although the old master shut him off earlier, he did not favor Sean either.
Melissa looked at Yvette coldly and hatefully. She just felt completely humiliated like she was a joke and a plaything to be thrown aside at any moment.
After a few seconds of silence, Sean said, “No way.”
The old master’s eyes were imposing and filled with scrutiny. He smiled. “Come with me.”
He turned and went to the lounge behind the divider.
Yvette looked at Sean nervously. She had a bad feeling about this.
The old master seemed to be compromising, but every step back seemed intentional like he was leading Sean on.
Yvette was just a pawn between them.
She closed her eyes and felt apprehensive because she did not know what would happen. Her heart was pounding with fear.
Yvette stood there in silence with red eyes and gritted teeth.
Sean saw through her worry and felt soft-hearted. He walked over, patted her on the shoulder, and said in a hoarse voice, “Don’t worry, no one can bully you except me.”
Yvette raised her eyes and met his gaze.
Sean did not stay. He turned around and left.
Yvette just watched with a blank gaze as he disappeared.
Then, her gaze strayed to other places.
Could she trust him?
Lex’s words echoed in her ears. She was not that confident about her position in Sean’s heart.
Yvette might as well die if she had to please an old man.
The old master sat at the boss's chair and looked at Sean aggressively.
“Sean, I’m not joking. If you still want that woman, just take her.”
Sean’s face was solemn, and his eyes darkened as he looked at the old master.
“Old Master, you’ve been kind to me, but I will never repay your kindness with my woman.”
The old master narrowed his eyes, sneered, and leaned forward slightly.
He said in a low voice, “Sean, you have the casino and money printing factory, but I know that’s not what you’ve always wanted. There’s a transaction in two hours. If you agree to my condition, you can go to that deal in person.”
Sean instantly became serious. His expression changed a little, and his breathing was slightly rushed.
Compared with the old master, Sean was still too immature and inexperienced.
He stood there in a tangle, and his whole body was tense.
Yvette’s face flashed through his mind countless times. If he gave her up, she would definitely hate him to death.
She might even want to kill him.
However, Sean had been looking forward to this opportunity for a long time.
Sean had spies around the old master, so he knew that the old master was not lying to him.
