Passion 331

Chapter 331

Yvette rubbed her aching neck and walked outside.

Terrence was writhing in pain and couldn’t get up. “Yvette, how dare you bring someone along and hit me? Do you not know what my status is now?”

Yvette merely glanced at Ray. Without hesitation, Ray delivered another kick to Terrence’s chest. ” Withdraw it.” Ray’s cold voice echoed.

Terrence tried to pry Ray’s leg off, but to no avail. He frantically pleaded, “Alright, alright, I’ll drop it.”

Still, Ray didn’t move his foot.

The surrounding housekeepers saw their employer under Ray’s foot. However, they didn’t dare to step forward to help.

Terrence felt his insides aching, and tears welled up in his eyes. “Yvvy, I was wrong. Make him stop; I’m going to die.”

Only when beaten into submission would Terrence call Yvette “Yvvy“.

Yvette recalled how she used to fight back whenever Terrence had hit her when they had been children. Back then, Terrence had never been able to win because he was younger than her.

After each beating, he would cry and call out, “Yvvy! Yvvy, I’m sorry.” But whenever this had happened, Yara would help Terrence by grabbing anything within to hit Yvette.

Once, Yara had hit Yvette on the head with a vase, making her head bleed. Yvette remembered feeling like the world had turned red.

Since that incident, Yvette hadn’t had the courage to fight back and had had no choice but to take the beatings.

Reflecting on the past, Yvette took a moment before snapping out of it. She said to Ray, “Let’s go.”

“Alright.”

As they moved inside the mansion, they were unaware of a Maybach parked under a large tree outside.

Having tracked Yvette’s phone to this location, Xavier had immediately sent someone to investigate and learned that Yara lived there. He had already sent people inside the mansion to check on the situation.

The bodyguard who reported back to Xavier informed him that Terrence had choked Yvette and had then been beaten by Ray until he had coughed up blood.

Xavier only listened to him without saying anything.

Mark couldn’t help but comment, “Terrence Snyder is a scumbag. If it hadn’t been for Mrs. Lane, he would be way worse off than he could imagine.”

Five years ago, Terrence and Yara had planned to sell Yvette to Liam, who had been nearing his 80s.

Yvette had refused with all her might. Fearing retaliation from Liam, Yara and Terrence had fled

abroad.

If Xavier hadn’t dealt with Liam for Yvette’s sake, they wouldn’t have been able to return and live in

luxury.

“Tell me more,” Xavier spoke up. No matter how much he tried, all he had were fragmented memories and what he heard from others. He couldn’t complete the puzzle in his head.

Mark briefly recounted the events. He wasn’t finished when he suddenly spotted a small figure at the mansion’s back door and exclaimed, “It’s Noah!”

He mistook Zachary for Noah.

“Who?” Xavier asked.

“That’s Mrs. Lane and Claude’s son!”

Xavier’s chest tightened, and he quickly instructed, “Bring him to me.”

“Yes, sir!” Mark immediately ordered the bodyguards to capture Zachary.

Zachary, who had sneaked out when Kiki had gone to get a package for him, was trying to find a way into the mansion when a pair of hands suddenly grabbed him from behind and lifted him off the ground.

He quickly attempted a kick, but his short legs didn’t hurt the bodyguard the least bit.

“Who are you? Let me go!” Zachary demanded coldly, not recognizing the man. His commanding tone/ reminiscent of Xavier’s, startled the bodyguard.

“Long time no see, Noah Lander,” Mark said, stepping in front of him and adjusting his gold–rimmed glasses. He had known that he had seen right!

At last, Mark had found “Noah“.
