Chapter 160

Claude noticed Yvette behind Xavier immediately and gave her a reassuring look before turning his attention to Xavier and extending his hand. "Nice to meet you, Mr. Lane."

Contrary to the expected tension, the interaction between the two men was unusually gentlemanly.

Xavier shook Claude's hand. He then looked at Yvette and introduced her. "This is my wife, Yvette."

As he asserted his claim, Xavier grabbed Yvette by the waist.

Yvette tried to pull his hand away, but Xavier tightened his grip, refusing to let go even when her nails dug into his hand and drew blood.

His expression remained composed.

Claude silently observed everything without showing any reaction. "There's no need for an introduction," he said. "Yvvy and I grew up together. I know her better than you, Mr. Lane." Yvvy.

He called her so affectionately. And he also claimed to know Yvetter better than Xavier did.

Xavier's dark eyes flashed with malice as he turned to look at Yvette. "Darling, why haven't you mentioned having such a close childhood friend?"

Yvette felt like her waist might break under the pressure as he tightened his grip.
