Yvette looked blankly at Lance, who came out behind her.
Lance walked over calmly. “Get lost.” “Of course. Thank you, sir. Take care.”
The skinny man ran away without saying anything, dashing away without caring about his broken leg anymore.
Yvette looked at Lance. “Take care, sir?” Lance smiled. “It’s settled.”
Yvette sized him up suspiciously. “You didn’t pay him, did you?” Lance shook his head. “Nope.” “Then how did he…”
“I patiently explained the law to him, and he admitted his mistake. His attitude was quite good. He even forgot about the medical expenses.”
Yvette clicked her tongue. “Who cares about that little medical fee? If he hadn’t extorted me, I would’ve given him the hundred thousand anyway. But since he seriously accused me, I don’t want to give him a single penny!”
Lance saw that she was very angry. He went over to squeeze her shoulders and smiled.
“That’s right, don’t waste your money on a person like that.”
Yvette cursed a few more times before her anger quelled and her attention was diverted.
Lance pulled his suitcase with one hand and held her shoulder with the other, looking very natural.
He acted so familiarly, but Yvette still felt a little uncomfortable.
Maybe it was the unfamiliar feeling that came from not seeing each other for a few days.
She coughed and deliberately found something to talk about.
“Why did you come back early?”
Lance pursed his lips, his gaze flickering. “Things went better than expected, so I came back.”
Of course, he would not say that it was because he wanted to see her so badly that he squeezed everyone’s schedule to reduce the three-day trip to two. It was just so that he could come back early to see her.
For the first time, Lance had the feeling of wanting t o come home quickly.
This woman was like a drug.
Yvette nodded and did not continue to speak.
However, Lance finally realized something in hindsight.
She delayed going to the airport to pick him up for three hours just because she did not want to give the hundred thousand dollars.
The moment this thought emerged, Lance’ s mood became complicated.
Was he not as important as $100,000?
Yvette’s phone rang. She picked it up smoothly, and her mother’s furious voice came through.
“Get your *ss back here right now!” Yvette was speechless.
She looked at Lance carefully and smiled. “Shall we go together, hubby?”
It went as expected.
With Lance around, Yvette’s mother scolded her with less intensity and left some dignity for her.
However, she still scolded Yvette angrily in the office.
“Why don’t you just give the company away to others? You can offer me up as well while you’re at it!”
Yvette lowered her head and muttered, “Who would dare to take you?”
Her mother became even angrier.
Lance was overwhelmed as he spoke a few words of advice to clear things up.
Yvette generously used S9 million to buy the land a t the auction and sold it to someone else for S6 million.
An act like this was no different from giving away money.
Indeed, it was no wonder that Mrs. Quimbey was angry.
Lance smiled. “Mrs. Quimbey, things have already happened, so there’s no point no matter how angry you get. Why not give her a chance to make up for her mistakes?”
If Mrs. Quimbey did not care about Lance, she would have wanted to slap Yvette in the face.
“Make up for her mistakes? Didn’t you see how I dared to give her the project?”
Lance paused. “I happen to have a new energy project in my hands. Why don’t I give it to her? I’ll take good care of her.”
Mrs. Quimbey paused. “You mean…”
“It’ll be a good opportunity for me to work on a project with her, lest she gets into trouble if she’s too idle.”
Lance’s tone had a hint of intimacy and indulgence.
Mrs. Quimbey could clearly see it. She could tell that something must have happened between Lance and Yvette judging by their attitude.
