Chapter 386 Zac Goes Berserk
Veronica had been tailing Crayson for several blocks when her phone started ringing. She took her phone out and saw that Yvonne was calling her.
After hesitating for a moment, Veronica decided to answer. “What is it?” Ever since Yvonne chose Conrad, Veronica had stopped contacting her. Yvonne had tried to contact her during Christmas break, but she had ignored all of Yvonne’s texts and phone calls.
She was still tailing Crayson, so answering her phone was a good disguise. “Veronica…”
Yvonne’s voice sounded hoarse and stuffy over the phone. Veronica frowned as her gut was telling her that Yvonne must have run into some trouble.
She still considered Yvonne her friend, and while she was disappointed by Yvonne’s decisions when it came to Conrad, she did not hold it against her.
“Sob… save me… sob… Zac found out I’m pregnant and he’s forcing me to get an abortion. Sob… please save me…”
Veronica’s brain stalled. “You’re saying that Zac…” She paused. “You should be calling Conrad at a time like this! You’re carrying his child!”
“Sob… I can’t reach him. You’re… you’re the only one I know in Bloomstead,” Yvonne wailed in sorrow.
“Where are you now?”
“Norfolk Hotel, Room 90… Ahh! Zac, what are you… Smack—”
Before Yvonne had even finished her sentence, there was a loud slap, and the call was cut off.
Veronica stopped walking and immediately gave Conrad a call.
After a short dialing tone, all she heard was, “Greetings. The person you are calling is currently unavailable.” It was obvious that the call did go through, but the receiver had chosen to end the call.
Veronica tried again, but Conrad still did not pick up his phone.
“Damn it!” She fumed.
As she stared after Crayson’s silhouette retreating into the distance, she made up her mind. She rushed over to catch a cab and headed straight to Norfolk Hotel.
Yvonne was a dummy who was blinded by love.
If it had not been for the fact that she and Matthew did not want to make their relationship public yet, she would have immediately asked him to save Yvonne.
At the same time, she was also worried that he might get dragged into this sorry mess if he helped her save Yvonne.
After mulling over all her choices, her best option was to head to Norfolk Hotel herself.
During the ride, Veronica searched online to find the number for Conrad’s company’s front desk, then gave them a call.
“Hello, this is Southcon Enterprise. May I know who’s calling?” The receptionist greeted her respectfully.
“Hello. I wanted to ask if Uncle Conrad, oh, I mean President Kings is in the office. Old Mrs. Kings and I would like to drop by his office, but he didn’t pick up his phone.”
Veronica lied through her teeth.
When the receptionist heard that Elizabeth wanted to come over, she immediately replied, “Is he not picking up his phone? I just spoke to President Kings, so maybe he didn’t hear the call earlier. You and Old Mrs. Kings can drop by anytime as he should be in the office the whole morning.”
“Okay, thanks!”
Veronica ended the call. A notification popped up on her screen informing her that her audio recording file was saved.
…
Norfolk Hotel, Suite 906.
Zac had tied Yvonne to the bed and she could not move at all.
Meanwhile, Zac, who was wearing a white suit, sat in a chair nearby smoking a cigarette with his legs crossed.
“Zac, let me go.” Yvonne struggled and protested as she cooked up a storm inside.
There was a sinister look in Zac’ eyes. “You’re mine, but you went behind my back and got yourself knocked up by some other guy. Do you think that I won’t hurt you, Yvonne?”
“I don’t like you, so why are you forcing me to marry you? Zac, you’re the devil incarnate!” Yvonne tried her best to break free from her restraints, but the ropes had been tied too tightly, so they did not budge at all.
She was filled with dread.
Was she really going to lose her baby?
Conrad always picked up her call before, so why was he not picking up today?
“Once I get my hands on your lover, I’ll show you what being the devil truly means.”
Zac stood up and strolled over to Yvonne. His blue eyes were menacing as he grabbed her by her hair and spat out through gritted teeth, “Tell me. Who’s the father of your b*stard child?”
“Ahhh! It hurts…”
Yvonne gasped in pain from having her hair nearly torn out from her scalp, but she refused to tell Zac about Conrad despite her pain and fear.
Conrad was still trying to gain a foothold in the business world, and he had fallen out with Matthew as well. If Zac found out that Conrad was in a relationship with her, it would get Conrad into even hotter waters.
Yvonne did not want to see him in such a crisis.
“It’s none of your business who the father is! As long as it’s not you, I’m willing to be with anyone… Ahhh!”
Before she could even finish her sentence, Zac slapped her across the face. “Why do you insist on choosing the hard way? You could’ve been a princess in Castron, but instead, you chose to betray me and go around sleeping with other men.”
Zac was still clutching Yvonne’s hair, and he yanked even harder now. “I’ll fill you in on a little secret. Not only am I going to find out who that guy is, but I’m also going to castrate him and make him watch as I have my way with you. Let’s see which one of you suffers the most when that happens!”
Zac did genuinely like Yvonne.
Of course, he was also pleased with her parents’ influence in the business world. It was a win-win situation for them if they formed a marriage alliance.
However, Yvonne’s parents were doing business in Castron, so everything would come crashing down for them if they offended Zac.
Zac wanted Yvonne for his own, and he also eyed the Spencer family fortune.
He let go of his pride and tried to woo Yvonne, but she ignored him and even blacklisted his number.
To make matters worse, she even hooked up with another man now!
Yvonne felt like her scalp was about to tear into pieces. She gasped in pain and cried out, “Zac, it… hurts… let go…”
It hurt too much. Yvonne’s eyes grew red as she teared up from the pain.
The moment Zac saw her crying, he seemed to regain his senses.
He let go at once and cupped Yvonne’s face in his hands. As he wiped her tears away for her with his thumb, he apologized, “I’m sorry, Yvonne. I’m so sorry. I shouldn’t have treated you like that.”
His heart was aching as he wiped all of her tears away. He reached out with his other hand to massage her scalp. “Stop crying, okay?”
Zac gently comforted her in a soothing voice before saying, “You’re mine. You’re my fiancée and the future princess of Castron, but you betrayed me. You betrayed me!”
His emotions got the better of him, and he began to shout once more. “You shouldn’t have betrayed me!”
Once again, he slapped Yvonne right across the face.
This time, his hand left a reddened mark on her face, and she even began to bleed.
Just then, someone knocked on the suite’s door.
Zac’s expression went back to neutral at once. He straightened his suit and glared at Yvonne before stepping out of the bedroom.
