You Are The Apple of My Eyes novel Chapter 564

John was becoming more impatient as time went by. He picked up the glass again.

"If you don't want to talk, then never speak again."

With his strong hands, he grabbed Vivian by her cheeks and threatened to pour the contents of the glass into her mouth.

Initially, Tim's subordinates were not moving. However, when the glass was about to touch Vivian's lips, Tim grabbed John's wrist and took the glass away from him, giving it to the person beside him.

"John, that's enough."

Vivian pushed them away and retreated from the room, with her head lowered in shame.

'How could Tim say something like that when his men and John were there?

Tim, you bastard!'

Vivian ran through the hall with her hands balled into fists. She accidentally bumped into a woman wearing a black cap and a black mask.

"Get out of my way!" Vivian pushed her with great force and intensity.

The woman didn't mind at first. However, when she heard Vivian scream, she grabbed her arm and stopped her in her tracks.

"Vivian?"

Upon hearing her name, Vivian turned around. What she saw was a pair of amber eyes with murderous intent. A cold, tingling sensation ran down her spine.

"Who? Who are you?" Vivian wanted to get away from her, but the woman's grasp on her arm forbade her from advancing.

The woman's eyes twinkled. She leaned over and whispered in Vivian's ear, "I'll see you tomorrow, old friend."

She let go of Vivian's arm and went inside.

Tim invited John to sit down. He asked his men to open a new bottle of wine and then sent them out to the guard outside.

Only the two of them were in the room.

"Vivian is so naughty. Please forgive her. I'll drink this glass of wine as an apology," Tim said as he raised his glass.

The sudden change in Tim's demeanor made John even more skeptical of him. He didn't know what Tim was up to.

He decided to remain silent and watch.

"I have never thought of going against you. I just hope that we can go our own ways and not interfere with each other." What Tim said was true.

He hadn't had any intentions in saying these words to John at first. It would make him a coward.

But he had just received a call and had to compromise.

Still, he wanted to keep his pride.

He didn't want John to look down upon him.

Tim pushed the glass in front of John. "Vivian saved my life, so I owe my life to her. If you want to kill her, you will have to go through me. If that happens, both sides will suffer immense losses. I don't think you want to see such a scene."

No one wanted that.

There was no exception for John. He had to consider the consequences if he had to fight with Tim.

No one could completely avoid the risk.

He couldn't cause any trouble, particularly at such a critical moment. Otherwise, his parents-in-law might not allow Nina and him to get married next year.

He couldn't afford it.

He was determined to marry her next year and keep her by his side every day.

John's expression shifted a few times that it made it hard for Tim to figure out what he was thinking.

Tim gritted his teeth. "Let's reach a compromise. If you don't kill her, I won't protect her."

When John came to his senses, he looked at Tim's eyes and shifted his gaze towards the wine in front of him. If he drank this glass of wine, they would reach an agreement.

"If I find any evidence of Vivian's crime, I will turn it over to the police."

"Of course." Although Tim was a ruthless man, he had never thought of breaking the law openly.
