Taylor’s face was full of affection, moving heaven and earth, but it could not shake Yvonne’s ashen heart. “I won’t ask about your past. Whether you’ve betrayed Chairman Iverson... Because it’s you, I don’t care!”
“You don’t care? You’re loyal to Christopher, yet you don’t care?” Yvonne thought it was a ridiculous joke, laughing until her eyes were red.
“I said I don’t care because it’s you! Besides, even if Chairman Iverson wants your life, I can protect you!” Taylor blurted out in panic, “Marrying me and becoming one with me is the only way to guarantee your safety. I swear that Chairman Iverson wouldn’t dare touch you!”
Yvonne’s pupils dilated, and she keenly caught the underlying meaning in his words.
He did not say “would not”; he said Christopher “wouldn’t dare”.
Although Taylor was loyal to Christopher, self-preservation was an instinct shared by both animals and humans.
Moreover, serving an unstable, cruel, and cunning man like Christopher was like walking on eggshells. To survive, Taylor must have kept some crucial evidence with him.
She calmed down and returned to her senses.
Yvonne bit the soft flesh inside her lip and swallowed the bitterness and blood, her body softening in Taylor’s arms.
She rested her sweat-covered forehead on the man’s shoulder, as if resigned to her fate.
Instantly, Taylor’s heart thumped wildly, and he excitedly tightened his hold on her warm, delicate body.
“Yvonne, we’ll return to Sentania... It’s surrounded by mountains and has beautiful scenery. We’ll get married there. I love you, and I promise to protect you well. The only person who can make you happy is me. Drew could never do that!”
Yvonne’s heart wrenched in pain, feeling like it was being torn apart, piece by piece, bloody bits flying around.
