Chapter 839
“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 flaunt 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.

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 accidentally bumped into him. I had too much to

skipped a beat, hastily shifting all the blame onto herself.
Christopher gave her a cold glance 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
