Chapter 556
Just as Larissa opened the report, her assistant rushed in anxiously to say. “There’s an argument going on between Yvette and someone at the elevator!”
She knew well how difficult and unpleasant vette could be, and how harsh her words could sound. Things never turned out well whenever she got into an argument with someone.
She immediately dropped her mouse and hurriedly made her way toward the elevator. Little did she know that even from a distance, she could hear the words Yvelle shouted.
She froze in her tracks. She could clearly see the men standing alongside Yvette. The lather she had thought about and longed for all these years hac appeared before her in this manner, Despite being familiar enough with Gary to confide in him, she felt timid and couldn’t bring hersell to take another step closer at this moment.

The three individuals standing at the elevator entrance hadn’t noticed her yet. Even though Gary was slightly shorter than Yvette in high heels, he still exuded an intimidating presence that overshadowed her,
He sneered, “Yvette. Il anyone deserves to die, it’s you.”
His current appearance felt foreign and unfamiliar to Yvette. In her memory. Gary was nothing more than an obsequicus and subservient pushover. The reason she had chosen to marry him was because he was the most obedient among the ordinary men she knew. She couldn’t accept his mockery, let alone the fact that her former “s lave had transformed into a lofty CFO, tra mpling her underfoot..
Immediately, a surge of pent-up anger and frustration overwhelmed her. Without thinking, she raised her hand to slap Gary’s lace, just like how she would react every time he had infuriated her in the past. However, this time, belcre her hand could reach its target it was intercepted by someone.
The towering man beside Gary grasped her wrist with a force that could easily snap her bones, his expression darkened in anger.
“Aaaaahhhhh-Yvette screamed in pain. Her once delicate face contorted into an ugly and fierce expression.
Gary shook his head, and instantly, Lewis understood Gary’s gesture and loosened his grip, although his lace still held a lingering resentment. Of course, Gary knew that Lewis was standing up for him. But Gary had a near-death experience once and was lucky to be able to reclaim his l’e. so he had long let go of the past. He had never held any grudge against Yvette: he knew that she didn’t love him and only married him to find someone to fill her lile. He willingly accepted it because he loved her.
However, he couldn’t forgive what she had done toward Larissa. No matter how much she disliked or despised him, she should have never taken it out on Larissa. After all, Larissa was her biological daughter.
Let’s co
go.” he said to Lewis.
