“Sorry…” Yvonne’s face flushed bright red, her consciousness fading
into a blur.
“I’ve told you before. This face of yours can only appear at specific
times, hidden from the light of day! You are my secret trump card, and
you belong to me. You must obey whatever I tell you to do. You have
no right to unt yourself, let alone act recklessly!”
Christopher’s eyes were full of malice, his grip around her neck
tightening as if he wanted to snap it for real.
Sitting in the passenger seat, Taylor saw that Yvonne was on the verge of copsing and sweated as
he interceded for her.
“Mr. Iverson, Ms. Smith can’t hold on much longer! Please spare her
this time, on ount of the loyalty she has shown you over the years!
She may have disobeyed your orders bying back secretly, but it
was to see you! Everything she does, she does for you. Please spare
her just this once!”
Christopher coldly stared at Yvonne’s face, akin to a work of art.
exhaled a breath of stale air and released her.
Yvonne’s body was drenched in sweat, herplexion shifting from
red to pale as she gasped for breath. Her eyes were filled with tears
as she looked at Christopher pleadingly. Despite enduring such pain,
she didn’t harbor any resentment toward him, only seeking to soothe
his anger.
“I’m sorry… Mr. Iverson… I’m sorry… Yvonne clutched her neck in
Christopher didn’t even spare her a nce, retrieving a pristine
handkerchief from his pocket. He wiped his hands and tossed the handkerchief out of the window with
disgust. His eyes were filled with disdain. “You’ll need to spend a fortune to take care of this face when
you return. If it weren’t for this face, I would have killed you long ago.”
Yvonne’s heart felt like it was being stabbed repeatedly upon hearing Christopher’s words, her body
trembling. “Thank you… Thank you.”
Christopher lowered his gaze and asked in a deep voice, “Did a man
touch you in the club?”
“N-no… It was me. I identally bumped into him. I had too much to
drink and lost control. I’ve embarrassed myself.” Yvonne’s heart
skipped a beat, hastily shifting all the me onto herself.
Christopher gave her a cold nce and instructed Taylor, “Go and
investigate who that man is. Check his identity and background.”
“Yes, Mr. Iverson.”

Yvonne’s hands were tightly gripping her skirt. She felt somewhat
sorry for that man. But she also knew that Christopher was th
of person who considered his possessions sacred. If anyone els
touched them, it was equivalent to stealing.

The luxury car sped away from the alley, disappearing into the night.
At that moment, Drew strolled leisurely to the center of the alley, both
hands in his pockets.
As he watched the car vanish, his deep gaze narrowed.
“Yvonne?”.
The license te number of the luxury car was imprinted in his mind.
Axel did not stay idle either. He never expected that on his rare visit to a bar, he would run into his
“enemy” tonight.
At the entrance of the private room, a tipsy Roza was being dragged by two middle-aged men in suits
and leather shoes. Her limbs were weak from the alcohol, and she was struggling to get away from the
two men.
“Let me go. I want to go back!” Roza pleaded, pushing them away in an attempt to bnce herself.
However, the sinister smiles on the faces of the two men only grew wider. They paid no heed to her
pleas. Their only intention was to drag her to a secluded ce and take their time with her.
“Let me go!” Roza’s cries echoed in the air.
A cold, piercing voice cut through themotion. “Let her go.”
Roza squinted her hazy eyes and lifted her gaze in astonishment to meet Axel’s handsome yet angry
face.
