With this, Dominic Conrad could be released from prison!
She could not fathom that after all her efforts to get revenge for herself and her child, she had finally achieved her goal. Now, all of that was gone in vain!
Yvonne was mercilessly thrown aside by the men in black. She was in a complete daze as she landed on the ground.
The old man got up and approached her with the help of his cane. He looked down at her from above and said, "I hope you don’t blame me for resorting to such measures little girl. This would not have happened if you had only signed the document like a good girl.”
"Why?" Yvonne's fingers slowly reached for the carpet and clenched onto it tightly, her eyes filled with hatred for the old man. "I have done nothing against you!"
The old man coldly snorted. "You do not have anything against me, but I do have a grudge against the Lancasters. You just so happen to be involved in all this because you're a member of the Lancasters.”
A grudge with the Lancasters?
Yvonne trembled as she said, "Who exactly are you?"
The old man stomped his cane on the floor. "You don't need to know who I am. All you need to know is that the Conrads are now under my protection. We'll be coming after the Lancasters till the bitter end.”
“What?" Yvonne was shocked.
The Conrads were now working together with this old man?
Did that mean that the Conrads would be joining the old man to go against the Lancasters?
"You seem to have realized and guessed something." The old man coldly leered at Yvonne. "You really are smart, yet you've chosen to stand by the Lancasters in these turbulent times. Therefore, little girl, you’ll be the first to feel my wrath on behalf of the Lancasters!"
Yvonne's heart skipped a beat as she heard this. She clenched her fists as she crawled up from the floor." What are you planning to do?"
As she asked the question, her eyes scanned the entire room to find something she could use to defend herself.
The old man had seen through her intentions but did not stop her. Instead, he found her futile efforts and her overconfidence to be extremely laughable.
"Both of you!" The old man pointed at Yvonne as he ordered the men in black. "Take good care of our guest. I don't care what you do to her as long as she doesn’t die. From this point on, I want the Lancasters t o have a taste of the suffering I felt in the past!"
As he issued the order, he turned and walked out of the room as his hand trembled while using his cane to aid him.
The door had once again been shut tight, and Yvonne desperately held onto the fruit tray she had just picked up.
She saw that there were other people guarding the door as the old man walked out. That had meant there was absolutely no chance for her to flee from that room.
Even if it was unguarded, she could not escape the men in front of her either.
"Stay away from me.” Yvonne tightly hugged the tray i n her arms for defense as she stared at the men, her eyes filled with terror.
There was no way the men would listen to her since they were under the old man's command. They looked at each other for a while before one of them held up his leg and suddenly kicked her.
The kick landed squarely on Yvonne's belly. She shrieked in pain as she collapsed onto the ground.
The tray she held onto had flung out from her grasp due to the kick and shattered on the floor with a bang.
The men saw that Yvonne had grown pale and curled up like a ball on the floor but did not have a shred of remorse on their faces. They continued to hit her and did not stop until she seemed to be dying.
At that point, Yvonne had been desperately gasping for air and she could not open her eyes.
The men checked up on her condition for a moment before exiting the room to report the situation.
A few minutes later, someone came in through that door again, only this time, a single man entered with a bag in his hands.
The man threw the bag at Yvonne’s head. "The master has passed along a message. Everything that you have suffered through today is because you are a part of the Lancasters. If you want to hate, hate the Lancasters. Also, this is just the beginning. When you get rescued b y your husband later, tell him to prepare himself for hellish revenge that is about to come to him.”
When he was finished, the man walked away and the room door closed again.
Darkness encompassed the room once again. Yvonne squirmed and held out a trembling hand towards the bag located above her head. She then struggled to open an eye and rummaged around inside to find a cellphone. Yvonne dialed Henry's number on the phone.
Henry answered the phone and his voice was slightly nervous. "Where are you, Yvonne?"
"Henry..." Yvonne's lips pursed as she heard his voice, and a heart full of emotions started to rush out from her chest. "I-I..."
