Juliette raised her head, full of pride.
In this deal, she was the one who had the upper hand.
After Lance returned, only Juliette knew that he was poisoned.
So, she imdiately found him and proposed conditions.
Lance would certainly agree. After all, it was related to his life.
There was no cure for the poison, but not absolutely. Keith helped Juliette find the researcher and already knew what the antidote was.
Unexpectedly, Lance added a condition, which was to remove Yvette from the Charles family’s hunting list.
Lance seed to know that Juliette could make it, and he directly ntioned the Charles family.
Juliette thought about it. With Lance’s ability, it was not difficult for him to find out that Keith was very close to Leonard Charles.
It was very easy for her to do it.
After all, Juliette was the one who played tricks to add Yvette’s na to the hunting list.
Since Juliette could not get love from Lance, she would give up but pestered him in another way. She believed she would win his heart one day.
"Juliette, there is sothing that you haven’t figured out yet."
Lance looked at Juliette with a murderous look. "The reason why the deal is done is that there is no other connection except for the deal per se."
"You want to play a dominant role?"
Lance clenched his fists and made a crisp sound. Then, he slowly walked up to Juliette.
The closer he walked, the faster Juliette’s heart beat.
Suddenly, Lance pinched her chin and looked at Juliette, who was suddenly scared. He said coldly, "Tell , what allowed you to?"
Juliette wasn’t arrogant anymore, as Lance was extrely domineering.
She gritted her teeth and shivered. "Lance, you... It hurts... Let go..."
Lance ignored her cries of pain and asked slowly, "Who allowed you to play the dominant role? Did I?"
Lance then released his grip, and Juliette fell on the chair, gasping for breath.
Under the light, Lance’s face was extrely gloomy.
Juliette knew that he was completely angry.
In this situation, she did not dare to refute him.
After all, Juliette dared not provoke Lance when he went crazy.
She lowered her head, but she was still unwilling. Juliette gritted her teeth and said, "Lance, anyway, we’ll get married. At least..."
Juliette took a deep breath, her eyes red. "At least, you have to save so face for in public."
"Don’t tell that you didn’t read the contract carefully when you signed it."
Lance said coldly, "There is nothing but a wedding."
Juliette’s face suddenly turned pale.
It was her obsession with marrying Lance. As such, even if Lance did not want to marry her and just wanted to give her a wedding, she accepted it.
In any case, if anything were to happen to Lance, she would also be his wife in the eyes of outsiders.
Juliette would get all that she wanted anyway.
They were still at the dining table.
But the dishes were already cold. Lance seed to have cald down. He said flatly, "Co on. Isn’t this your favorite food?"
As he spoke, Lance put so food on Juliette’s plate.
When he put down the spoon, there was a crisp sound.
Lance smiled slightly. "Eat it."
Juliette bit her lip, her face extrely pale. The food was already cold, and it was definitely not delicious.
Moreover, she was in a bad mood right now.
"I... I don’t have an appetite." Juliette stood up hesitantly and stamred, "If you have sothing to do, I will leave by myself first."
"Sit down!" Lance said simply, but he sounded very intimidating.
Juliette imdiately stiffened and then sat down.
"Didn’t you say that you really want to eat it?" Lance tapped on the table twice. "Finish it."
Lance put on a gloomy look, and Juliette broke out in a cold sweat.
For the first ti, she was not only obsessed with Lance but also feared him.
Juliette knew that she had to finish it even if she did not want to.
"Fine." She clenched her fist tightly and stuffed the food into her mouth.
Juliette just wanted to finish it earlier and then left.
She was almost overwheld by Lance.
Suddenly, Lance said coldly, "You don’t have to care about the dress. I have already prepared it for you."
"Ahem..."
Juliette coughed when she heard this, and there was food in the corner of her mouth. Her makeup was also ruined by her sweat, so she looked very ugly at that mont.
How could she think about the dress now? Juliette only hoped that nothing would go wrong before the wedding.
Juliette thought, I’ll teach that slut a lesson after I get married.
If Juliette wanted to kill soone, it would be easy for her even if that person wasn’t on the hunting list.
Moreover, the hunting list only took effect abroad, and it was very hard to make it in New York.
When she wanted to kill Yvette, Juliette wouldn’t wait for even a mont.
"Alright, I understand." Juliette compromised.
anwhile...
Yvette and Susana had just finished eating.
Because of what happened just now, Yvette had no appetite and barely ate so.
When they reached the door, they saw a black SUV parked in front of them. The driver pushed the door open and walked out. It was Stephen.
Yvette was stunned. "Stephen, why are you here?"
Stephen walked over and smiled gently. "I just ca back from Iceland yesterday. Marlon ordered to send you ho."
Stephen said in a half-joking tone. Yvette knew his relationship with Marlon. Because he was Marlon’s good friend, Stephen also took care of Yvette.
When Susana heard this, she clenched her fist and wanted to say that she would send Yvette off.
Unexpectedly, Stephen glanced at Susana and said gently, "Ms. Bard, Marlon said that you haven’t replied. He has sothing to talk to you about."
Susana blushed.
She thought Marlon was really hateful.
Stephen looked at her as if she had sothing to do with Marlon.
Yvette was also stunned when she heard this. She saw that Susana seed to be reluctant, so Yvette asked, "It’s so late. Why did Marlon want to see Susana?"
"Well, I don’t know," Stephen said.
Yvette turned back to look at Susana. Susana cald down and explained, "I t a shaless client in the studio. Yesterday, he made a move on after he was drunk, and then Mr. Lynn dealt with him. In the end, that client said that he was going to sue . Mr. Lynn said that he would handle this, so he probably wanted to see ."
Susana was not lying. It was indeed what had happened last night. At that ti, there was probably a problem with the wine she drank, so she had a ridiculous night.
After that man was beaten up by Marlon, he made a false accusation and wanted to sue Susana for hiring Marlon to beat him up.
But Marlon solved it later and found a witness from the restaurant, confirming that the man did wrong and poisoned the wine.
In the afternoon, Marlon submitted the evidence to the police station and sent that man to jail.
Yvette was even more surprised. "Susana, why didn’t you tell about such a big thing?"
She looked at Susana carefully. Fortunately, there were no obvious wounds.
Yvette said angrily, "That bastard bullied you. Are you hurt? Where is he? I’ll get the lawyer to sue him!"
"It’s fine. He didn’t take any advantage of . Mr. Lynn handled it," Susana said.
Yvette had a hard ti recently, so Susana didn’t tell her about such a troubleso thing.
With Marlon, Yvette was not that worried. She didn’t overthink it and said, "Okay, Marlon must be looking for you for this. Just call him back. Stephen will drive ho. Don’t worry."
Susana thought, he didn’t want to call him back.
I’ve read the ssage. He wanted to go back early.
He had taken advantage of , but he still wanted to settle accounts with .
Unbelievable!
I even lost my virginity to him.
Can’t we just let it go like this? It’s really awkward to bring it up.
Susana walked toward the car gloomily, deciding to go back to the studio to work. If Marlon did not see her after waiting for quite so ti, he naturally would give up.
Susana had just unlocked the car door when the handle was pressed down from behind.
Because of what happened last night, she beca extrely vigilant. Susana imdiately raised her arm to hit the chin of the person behind her.
Unexpectedly, that person seed to have known what she wanted to do and grabbed her wrist.
He pressed both of her palms against the car and stretched his legs to press her against the car door.
"Well, you want to use the move I taught you to deal with ?"
Marlon’s clear voice sounded, and Susana imdiately cald down.
"Why are you here?" She was surprised.
Before Marlon could answer, there was a whistle from the other side.
A drunkard shouted, "Buddy, you’re so wild. You even do it in public. Aweso!"
Susana did not understand what this drunkard ant at first.
When she saw their posture in the mirror, she realized it. Marlon was tall. He grabbed Susana’s wrist from behind, and they leaned on the car door. From the opposite side, they seed to do sothing...
Instantly, Susana flushed.
"Phooweet!" The drunkard was still whistling. As soon as Marlon let go, he walked toward the man.
The drunkard’s friend rushed up from behind and covered his mouth. He kept apologizing to Marlon.
"Sorry, sir. Don’t argue with him. He got drunk... We’re so sorry..."
Susana also ran over, grabbed Marlon, and said in a low voice with a blushed face, "Co on. He didn’t do it on purpose. He was just drunk. Let’s go."
Moreover, Susana didn’t want to blow up such a shaful matter.
If Yvette asked, what would she say?
Could she tell Yvette that Marlon and she were misunderstood to have sex on the road...
Just thinking about it, Susana felt extrely awkward.
That drunkard’s friend thought Marlon was not to be trifled with given his domineering vibe.
He kept apologizing. "We’re sorry. We apologize to you and your girlfriend. Please show rcy and don’t argue with a drunkard. I will discipline him later."
When Marlon heard the word "girlfriend", he beca less angry unexpectedly.
He said flatly, "Your friend is drunk. Take him back and have a good rest, or don’t regret it after causing trouble."
That ant Marlon would let them go. So, that man thanked and pulled the drunkard away.
Marlon turned his head and saw Susana holding the corner of his trench coat. He seed to think about sothing.
It took a mont for Susana to recover from the shock, and she let go of her hand.
Then, she scratched the ground with her shoe and felt that it was a little awkward. Susana asked, "What are you doing here?"
"I’ll send you ho," Marlon said simply. He took the key from her hand and walked up to the car.
"But..."
Susana had no ti to refuse. Marlon had opened the door of the passenger seat, and she had to get into the car.
"What about your car?" Susana asked.
"The driver drove it away."
...
Susana thought for a mont and said, "I don’t need you to send . I still have to go to work."
"It’s so late. If you have anything to do, do it tomorrow."
Susana was very unwilling to go with him. She made up an excuse. "No, I still have work to do."
Marlon took out his phone and dialed Yvette’s number.
"What are you doing?"
Susana was shocked and quickly leaned over to hang up the phone.
Marlon did not snatch it from her. He looked down and said, "I want to ask her if the studio won’t work without you."
"Stop." Susana’s voice beca louder as she was anxious.
She used to be very serious in front of Marlon. After last night, they seed to be a little closer to each other.
Especially now, Susana looked so cute when she was anxious.
"Alright, make up a better excuse then." Marlon smiled playfully.
Susana was speechless.
During that period, the car had already started.
...
In the black car in front of the restaurant.
Lance pursed his lips and watched the car carrying Yvette slowly drive away.
The atmosphere in the car seed to be charged in an instant.
"Mr. Wolseley, where are we going?" Frankie asked.
"Follow them."
Frankie followed the front car.
Until the car stopped at West Lake Villa, Frankie stopped the car not far away.
Stephen got out of the driver’s seat and ran to open the door for Yvette gracefully.
They stood in front of the car and exchanged a few words before Stephen told Yvette to hurry in.
"Stephen, thank you. I’ll treat you to a al another day," said Yvette with a warm smile.
"That’s OK," Stephen said.
After taking two steps, Yvette suddenly turned around and looked at Stephen. "Is there any new news about your trip to Iceland?"
"Yes, I checked the departure record of the Charles family. There are only five people whose schedule fits the ti."
Stephen originally wanted to talk about it tomorrow, but since Yvette had asked, he turned around and took out a safety phone.
He showed Yvette the photos of the five people one by one.
When Yvette saw one of the n with scars, her hair stood on end. She said in fear, "It’s him!"
