    Yvonne''s words angered Geoffrey. He wore a cold expression, like a wild beast ready to break free. "Yvonne, get out of here! From now on, you are not allowed toe back without my permission!"


    Geoffrey turned to leave.


    Yvonne immediately scrambled to her feet.


    She was also enraged, and shouted recklessly, "Dad, you''re too much! You used my mom, then cast her aside and divorced her to be with another woman! How can you live with yourself doing that?"


    Geoffrey stopped in his tracks and clenched his fists. Gritting his teeth, he asked, "Did your mom send you to find me?"


    "It has nothing to do with Mom!" Yvonne replied. "I just want to know what kind of woman seduced you! I didn''t expect it to be an old woman!"


    If it were a young girl, Yvonne wouldn''t have been so surprised. Although she would still be angry, at least there would be a reason for her father''s infatuation.


    However, finding out that her dad was with an old woman who already had a husband and children was simply too shocking!


    "She didn''t seduce me!" Geoffrey said angrily. "Do you want to know what my rtionship with Sydney is? Fine, I''ll tell you. She''s my first love, and I love her deeply. Back then, I married your mother for power and abandoned Sydney. Now, I''ll do anything to win her back.


    "I even raped her and recorded it. I threatened her that if she didn''t sleep with me, I''d go tell her husband and her son about it, as well as her mother who has dementia, and ruin her family''s peace forever. So, she gave in to me!"


    Geoffrey''s expression gradually turned frenzied, and he began tough. "So now you understand, right?"


    He stepped up to Yvonne, grabbing her shoulders and saying, "I''ll do anything to get the woman I want. You better not provoke me, or I won''t show you mercy, even though you''re my daughter! No one can stop me from being with the woman I love-no one!"


    Geoffrey''s stance was terrifying, like a beast ready to devour everything. He had lost all rationality.


    Yvonne stared at him wide-eyed, retreating a few steps in shock.


    "Dad, are you crazy? If that''s the case, it proves she doesn''t want to be with you at all! What you''re doing won''t lead to love!"


    "I dare you to say that again!" Geoffrey growled while clenching his fists.


    Yvonne didn''t know where her courage came from. Thinking of her sad mother, she mustered all her strength to speak.


    "Dad, you''re crazy! What you''re doing won''t get you love! It''s obsession and madness. No wonder when Sydney mentioned you, she looked so disdainful. Even when I said she seduced you, she didn''t care. It turns out. It turns out she despises you deep down and doesn''t love you at all. She feels nothing but disgust for you!"


    Suddenly, Geoffrey lunged forward. He pinned Yvonne against the wall and strangled her.


    "Yvonne, don''t think just because you''re my daughter, I won''t dare to do something to you! It seems like you don''t know your own father well. I wouldn''t put anything past myself!"


    Yvonne could hardly breathe. She was being choked to the point of passing out, and her entire face was red.


    In the end, Geoffrey still released her. Shoving her aside, he roared, "Get out!"


    If Yvonne weren''t his daughter, she would have been dead long ago. No matter how angry Geoffrey was, he couldn''t harm her because of their blood ties.


    Yvonne gasped for breath, taking several seconds to calm down. Then, she turned to leave.


    Suddenly, Geoffrey called out, "Wait a minute."


    Yvonne stopped in her tracks, stumbling as she turned around. Geoffrey took a deep breath, seemingly trying to control his temper.


    He said coldly, "This matter has

    doing. You better not talk nonsense, and you''re not allowed to trouble her. Even though you''re my


    daughter, if you push me too far, I might not kill you, but I won''t let you off easily."


    Yvonne felt a chill run down her spine. It seemed Geoffrey was indeed deeply invested in Sydney, even taking all the responsibility upon himself. If he had treated X half as well, they wouldn''t have ended up divorced.


    If Geoffrey loved Sydney, why did he abandon her back then and marry X for benefits?


    If he didn''t love Sydney, why was he still thinking of her after all these years, even divorcing his first wife just to be with his first love?


    After thinking it over, Yvonne felt that her father was simply too obsessive. He only ever wanted to get what he wanted. In his eyes, any person or thing was just a choice that could be temporarily set aside.


    Once he got what he desired, he would try to reim those things he had once given up, calling it love. In truth, it was merely a refusal to ept defeat.


    However, Yvonne knew that if she spoke these words to Geoffrey, he wouldn''t listen. He might even hit her or scold her. Once a person fell into obsession, nothing anyone said mattered.


    Yvonne wiped her tears from her face and said, "I understand. But Dad, as your daughter, I''m very worried about you. What you''re doing will only make you suffer."


    Geoffrey just roared, "Get out!"


    Yvonne was stunned, then turned to flee.
