After She She Stopped Loving Him

Chapter 105

Yolanda’s throat was burning, so sore that she couldn’t even get a word out.

Charles stood in front of her, gently ruffling her hair. “Tell William there’s no need to call the police. Let’s not make a big scene out of this.”

She found it almost hilarious, but just as she was about to reply, Charles spoke again.

“The orphanage has been in that part of town for years. Truth is, the lease on that land expired six months ago–it was supposed to go up for auction, but I bought the rights. It’s pretty remote, and I haven’t figured out what to do with it, so it’s just sitting there.”

That statement was a plain threat. Charles held the rights to that land, and if he wanted, he could kick the orphanage out any time.

Right now, there were more than thirty kids living in the orphanage, plus William, the director. Finding a place for all of them would be tough.

Even if she had cash, it was Charles’s money anyway. If he wanted to, he could freeze her account in a heartbeat.

The Sinclair family was just too big and powerful. Yolanda and William together were nothing more than a drop in the ocean compared to them.

Charles’s fingers gently gripped her chin, tilting her face up. “Renee hasn’t been doing well lately. I’ll have someone keep an eye on her so she doesn’t sneak out again. Yolanda, talk to William about this, okay?”

Yolanda looked up at him.

Charles thought he caught a faint trace of hatred flicker in her eyes—as if he might be imagining things.

He froze, wondering if he’d imagined it.

“Charles, don’t you think this kind of move is messed up?” she asked.

“Are you saying this is my fault?” he replied.

“How could I dare?” she muttered.

He pulled her close and kissed her hair. “Come on, don’t be mad. I’ll have Jack pick out some new bags for you. If you’re feeling down, just head out and go shopping or something.”

Yolanda just felt powerless. She forced a half–smile, turning her back to him. “600 grand to buy a life—if Renee can finally sleep, I guess that’s worth it.”

Charles’s face turned grim. “So what do you want from me? She’s the Sinclair family’s daughter, you know that. I can’t just trade one life for another.”

“How could I even dare ask that, Charles? I’m just exhausted. I just want to sleep,” she muttered.
