Coralie did not expect that Yohan would resort to this.
"No, Yohan, I don't want this!" Coralie cried out.
"No can do, it's specially made for you. It's the only pair in the world," Yohan refused. After putting the shackles on, he stood up and pointed at the clothes saying, "Don't worry, it won’t be visible if you put these dresses on."
Apart from the shackles, there was also a pair of gold balls laden with lead. When the bodyguards took out the balls just now, Coralie knew that it would be very heavy.
With this pair of balls, it would be difficult for Coralie to get out of the house, let alone to escape.
"Yohan, my child is sick, I... I..."
Coralie did not want to surrender, she wanted to negotiate with Yohan.
However, when Yohan saw her like this, he was not angry at all. Instead, he said with a smile, "Corrie, do you still remember what you said? That as long as the child was born, you would be satisfied. What's the matter now? You've grown greedy with the requirements?"
Coralie was not a mother before. At that time, she just wanted to give birth to the child.
Now that Coralie had given birth to Hendric, she had the insurmountable courage to do everything for her child.
"Yohan, I used to be nice to you and helped you, but now you're doing this to me?"
If she couldn't soften him, she would have to use her trump card of goodwill.
"Corrie, this is a punishment for you. You lied to me and made me sad for a few years, and you didn't look for me right after you came back. Initially, I hired a nurse to kill your child, but I didn't expect that she was such a good-for-nothing. You even thwarted her attempt."
As Yohan spoke, the phone rang. He looked down at the caller ID and went out.
Coralie froze on the spot when she heard that. "It's you... That nurse was hired by you..."
But at the moment, Yohan had already gone downstairs.
"Yohan Green! You!"
Coralie wanted to chase after him, but as soon as she lifted her feet, she was tugged by the weight on the shackles and as she lost her balance, she toppled to the ground.
At this time, the bodyguard also left the room.
The door of the bedroom was not locked, but the window was firmly sealed.
Coralie studied the shackles on her feet. Each ball weighed about ten pounds. With such a weight, it was almost impossible for her to move.
Regardless, Coralie still dragged her shackles and toiled to the door. She heard Yohan talking on the phone.
Yohan said, "I'm only reclaiming what's supposed to belong to me."
When Coralie heard this, she knew that it was Skylar on the other side of the phone!
"Help me, help me..."
Coralie managed to go to the stairs, but the shackles were too heavy. When she reached one of the steps, the balls suddenly began to roll down the stairs, dragging Coralie with it.
Coralie felt that her bones were going to disassemble themselves after that fall.
Seeing this scene, Yohan came over and held Coralie with one hand. He said gently, "Dear, why are you so careless?"
"Leonardo, I warn you not to hurt her, or I'll make you pay the price."
Skylar's voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Skylar, I..."
Coralie tried her best to mouth something.
Yohan had already hung up the phone. He grabbed Coralie's wrist and his eyes darkened. He said, "Corrie, what were you trying to say? Can't you be good only to me, like how you were before?"
"I..."
"He'll never find his way to save you. I've made up my mind, I'll leave the country with you tonight," Yohan said. He got up and ordered the servants beside him, "You guys keep an eye on her. If the earlier situation happens again, you'll know the consequences."
