Facade of Love Novel novel Chapter 399

I had not heard Idris’ voice in forever. For a few seconds, I was lost in it, a wave of bitterness choking me up. I had a million things to say, but I swallowed them down and managed to say, "It's me, Idris. We need to meet."

"Okay!"

I gave him the address Lucas had given me and hung up, my heart heavy.

Lucas had picked some clubhouse out in the suburbs. Stepping out of the car, I saw him on my heels and frowned.

He quirked an eyebrow, "What's wrong? Don't want me tagging along?"

I bit back my words, ice in my voice, "Do what you want."

I had barely finished my sentence when I breezed into the clubhouse. Right at the entrance, I caught sight of Idris. He looked like he had not slept in days, and his usually sharp features were shadowed by stubble, giving him a weary look.

The moment I saw him, my feet itched to dash over. However, before I could take a step, Lucas's firm grip yanked me back. He pulled me close, his hand possessively circling my waist, and murmured, "Yvette, you're with me, remember? Diving into someone else's arms isn't going to make me happy."

I froze, my heart twisting as Idris approached, his expression turning to ice when he saw Lucas's arms around me.

Our eyes locked, and it hurt to pretend everything was fine. I forced a smile and managed to say, "Hey, Idris. It's been a while."

His dark eyes were stormy, and I braced myself for the questions about why Lucas and I were so chummy all of a sudden.

He refrained from asking anything. Instead, he yanked me out of Lucas's hold and, without missing a beat, threw a punch at him.

Lucas, caught off guard, quickly swung back. The two of them, silent as statues, started brawling right there. Lucas's crew and the Youngs' bodyguards swarmed around us, ready to jump into the fray.

Seeing the standoff about to explode into chaos, I shouted, "Everybody, stop!"
