Chapter 164 Draw a Line With Him Lance suddenly clenched the pen in his hand, and his eyes were cold. âYou can try.â
The pressure in his eyes overflowed, and for a moment, Colton felt a little creepy.
This was not the first time he had seen his sonâs fierce aura.
Only Lanceâs grandfather and mother could be protected by him, and now there was another woman.
In the end, Lance didnât care about Colton.
Colton felt disappointed. Back then, Colton had been defeated by Lance and had been driven abroad.
Therefore, no matter what, Colton had to fight for his other son.
âLance, as long as you donât force me, we wonât have to come to that.â
Lance looked up and said with an indifferent expression, âLeave if you are done!â
âYou!â
Colton was so angry that he almost couldnât breathe. Thinking of his goal, he endured it. âYou should get along with Kali first. I wonât force you to marry her. If I can nail the energy project, it will benefit the company.â
Colton meant Lance should lead Kali on. When the cooperation was achieved, Lance could break up with her saying they were not right for each other.
Lance declined to comment, pressed the number 1 button, and ordered, âFrankie, see the guest out.â
When Colton was invited out of the office by Frankie, he was so angry that he snorted. When Colton saw Kali, he said, âGood girl, Lance has a cold persrmality. He needs a passionate girl like you to warm him up.
You can chase him instead. Do you understand?â
Kali nodded happily. âYes.â
Kaliâs eyes lit up, which made Colton satisfied.
Not to mention anything else, Lanceâs appearance was attractive. Basically, all girls liked him, so how could they let go when they had the chance to chase him?
Colton praised, âGood child, I only recognize you as my daughter-in-law. Donât disappoint me, understand?â
Kali nodded, her heart filled with hope.
After Colton left, she went directly to Lanceâs office. As a result, she was stopped outside by Frankie before she could even enter.
He said tactfully, âIâm sorry, Ms. Pruitt. Mr. Wolseley is having a video conference.â
Kali said, âThen I will wait for him here.â
Frankie was a little embarrassed because Kali insisted on sitting outside the office and waiting.
Recently, the Pruitt family had become popular because of the energy project. Frankie could not chase Kali away, so he asked Kali to wait in the office and prepared delicious food for her.
On the other side, Yvette had just completed the transaction with the new householder.
The housing payment minus the loan and her savings were still not enough. It was only 450 thousand dollars.
She had no choice but to borrow 50 thousand dollars from Ellen to have 500 thousand dollars in total.
She would rather owe her best friend than Lance.
After putting all the money in on the card, she went to the company to find Lance to exchange for the IOUS.
She had told Frankie in advance, so she arrived at the presidentâs office very smoothly.
When she was almost at the door, she was still mentally preparing herself. What should she say to Lance later?
It was mainly because Lance had just been humiliated by her that day, so he might not want to see her now.
As soon as she turned the corner, she saw a girl standing by the blinds, staring at the office without blinking.
Yvette immediately recognized that it was the girl who accompanied Lance at the coffee shop that day.
Yvette paused and remembered that this should be Lanceâs blind date. When she hesitated to go over, she heard Frankie call her.
âMs. Thiel, hi.â
Kali heard the voice and turned to see Yvette standing there. Kali froze.
The next second, Kali realized that this was the girl from the café that day.
Immediately, Kali walked in front of Yvette and asked her, âWho are you? Why are you looking for Lance?â
The atmosphere was tense in a second.
It was no wonder that Kali was vigilant. Yvette was so eye-catching that it made her jealous.
Frankie felt something was wrong and immediately helped Yvette out. âMs. Pruitt, do you want to drink fruit juice? Iâll get someone to squeeze a glass for you.â
âOkay.â Kali had been eating for a long time and was a little thirsty now.
âBut what exactly are you here for?â she asked Yvette again.
Frankie had a headache. He did not expect Kali to be so persistent. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Yvette say.
âI am here to find Frankie.â
âReally?â Kali was a little doubtful.
Yvette nodded and handed the card in her hand to Frankie without saying much. She asked him, âAre those IOUS in your hands?â
Frankie nodded.
Yvette said, âHere are 500 thousand dollars. Check it and then give me the IOUS.â
Frankie hesitated. âDo you want to wait for Mrâ¦â
âNo need. Frankie, please take care of it.â
Yvette refused. She did not want to be misunderstood by Lanceâs new girlfriend.
Kali was still staring at them. Frankie did not want to cause trouble, so he took Yvette to deal with the IOUS.
After settling the IOUS, Yvette went home.
Meanwhile, Lance was busy in the office until it was dark before he came out.
When he came out, Kali had already fallen asleep on the sofa.
Lance frowned and asked, âWhy is she still here?â
Frankie said helplessly, âMs. Pruitt wouldnât leave.â
Lance frowned. Frankie didnât handle it incorrectly.
The Pruitt family was in the limelight. If they chased Kali out, others would think that the Wolseley family and the Pruitt family had a bad relationship, and it would affect the stock market.
Frankie asked again, âDo you want to wake Ms. Pruitt up?â
âNo need. Just leave someone to open the door for her.â After saying that, Lance was prepared to leave.
âMr. Wolseley.â Frankie stopped him and told him about Yvette coming over in the afternoon to return the money.
He handed the card to Lance and said, âPlease take a look at this card.â
In fact, Lanceâs original words had been that as long as Yvette came to take the IOUS, he would give them to her, and she did not need to return the money.
He had also explained it to her, but she had still given him this card.
Stared by Lance, Frankie felt this card was hot.
Lance felt angry. He stared at the green card for a long time, then gritted his teeth, and said, âThrow it away.â
After saying that, he left.
Lance sat in the car furiously, and his stomach ached from anger.
He took another phone and dialed the familiar number.
After the call was connected, Yvetteâs voice, which was as gentle as ever, came, âMay I know who this is?â
Get Bonus Hearing those words, Lance somehow wasnât angry anymore.
He softened his tone and said lightly, âItâs me.â
Yvette paused and then said, âSorry, you called the wrong one.â
The phone was immediately hung up, and Lance called her again.
Beep!
Lance was too familiar with that sound. It meant he had been blacklisted.
Immediately, the anger that had dissipated surged up again, and he fiercely smashed the steering wheel.
She drew a line with him because she had a new boyfriend, right?
The money must have been given by another man.
Good! Very good!
On the way home, Yvetteâs stomach was uncomfortable.
She had a premonition that her period was coming.
She had suffered from dysmenorrhea. After the miscarriage, she felt even more pain.
After lying on the bed for a while, she received a call from an unknown number. When she heard that it was Lance, she knew he would be mean to her.
She had no energy to deal with him due to her stomach ache, so she simply hung up and blacklisted him.
Ding-dong.
The doorbell rang.
Yvette thought the painkillers were delivered, so she got up and went to open the door.
When she opened the door and saw Lanceâs handsome face at the door, Yvette almost thought that she had hurt her brain and had an illusion.
How could it be Lance?
She froze for a few seconds before she reacted and immediately closed the door.
However, before the door could be closed, he strode in, and his beautiful eyes seemed to be covered in ice as he stared at her.
âLance, what do you want to do?â
This kind of gaze made Yvette feel flustered, and she could not help but question him.
âYou forced your way into a private residence. I can report you.â
Before she could finish speaking, Lance took a step forward, held her face, and kissed her.
He kissed her fiercely. Realizing that Yvette did not cooperate, he ground his teeth and bit her tongue.
Yvette felt the pain and frowned.
Lance acted as if he didnât notice it and continued to hold the back of her head. His thin lips were pressed against her tender ones as he sucked them.
After a long time, Lance finally let go of her when he felt that she couldnât breathe.
âLance, are you sick?â
Yvette was so angry that her chest heaved. âYou forcefully kissing me is harassment. Do you understand?â
Lance raised his finger to unbutton his shirt and sneered, âOkay, wait until Iâm done, then you can give me a lesson.â
