Back in his room, Christopher downed a ss of strong liquor, barely easing his anger.
"Mr. Christopher, you don''t need to get mad with that idiot."
Taylor quicklyforted him. "His time is over, and he''s at the end of his rope. With Ms. Be''s intelligence, she would soon trace Asher''s case back to him. Perhaps she already knows and is just waiting to act! Be patient and let the Thompson family take care of him for you."
"Yvonne, what happened?"
"..."
Christopher coldly looked at Yvonne, who was standing timidly aside. "Without my orders, you never show yourself to entertain clients. Why did you appear in James'' room this time?"
"Oh, Mr. Christopher, let me exin."
Taylor quickly helped out. "I looked into it. That scumbag Charles specifically asked for Ms. Yvonne to serve him, but our men refused, and he got mad. He was smashing things and causing a ruckus in the room, even injuring two girls. Ms. Yvonne was afraid things would escte, so she came to handle it."
Yvonne''s heart tightened, and she lowered her head, not daring to look into Christopher''s eyes.
"If he wants to cause a scene, let him. It''s just some bottles and vases. Do you think I care?"
Christopher''s gloomy gazended on Yvonne''s face. "But when you show up with this face, it could cause unexpectedplications. My fight with James is at a critical moment now. Do not cause trouble for me. Also, I don''t like disobedient women. If it happens again, I''ll punish you severely."
Yvonne took a deep breath, her rose-colored lips slowly parting. "Mr. Christopher, now... My value as Ms. Be''s substitute is gone. Going out with this face will only cause trouble for you. Why not let me regain my original appearance and be myself?"
Taylor gasped in shock. ''God! What did Yvonne say? Did she have a death wish?!''
Indeed, Christopher closed in on her like a wolf, his gaze suddenly cold and menacing. "What did you say? Repeat it."
"I want to go back to my own
ance." Yvonne''s moist a
red eyes shone, her fingers nervously digging into her palms.
Christopher viciously grabbed her jaw, his grip so tight it hurt. "How can you have the audacity to say this to me? Being able to have a face simr to Be''s is your blessing. You should be grateful and thank Be for granting you a value far beyond your own existence. Now, you tell me you don''t want this face. How dare you?!"
The man lifted his hand suddenly, causing Yvonne to cry out in pain. Tears welled up in her eyes.
At this moment, an urgent knock rang out at the door.
Christopher angrily withdrew his hand. Yvonne turned her face away, revealing a bright red mark on her jaw.
Taylor went to open the door, and a bodyguard walked in.
"Mr. Christopher, the window in
Room A015 on the fifth floor has arge hole. The cut is very clean likely made by a special tool. There
might be intruders!"
Yvonne''s forehead was covered with sweat, and her heart was racing.
"What?! What were you doing? Why did you only find out now?!" Taylor was shocked.
"Did you check the surveince?" Christopher asked with a cold gaze.
"Yes, but... But it didn''t capture any intruders."This text is property of N?/velD/rama.Org.
Taylor''s eyes widened. "Not even one? That''s impossible!"
After all, there were more security cameras in Pivotage than there were holes in a beehive!
