Chapter 240 I Never Want to Be Your Friend

Yvette's face was deathly pale. She clenched her fists tightly, and her body trembled with anger.

Meanwhile, Lance blurted out all those acerbic words because of his pent-up frustration.

But the moment he saw Yvette's shoulders trembling uncontrollably, he could not help but feel pain in his heart.

Lance thought, why do I replace her piteous now? How useless of me!

I have made up my mind to be nonchalant and brush her aside. But right now, all I want is to hold her in my arms and keep her sweet.

As he thought, he slowly raised his hand, which Yvette dodged right off.

Then Yvette raised her head and said determinedly, "Lance, I will not sleep with you."

She thought, he is about to get married. There is no way I would be his mistress, no matter how low self-esteem I have.

Lance's hand froze in mid-air, and his expression was extremely gloomy.

He thought, / shouldn't have felt sorry for her like that! Look how she treated me!

"Bang!"

Lance slammed the door.

Everything became silent.

Worry over Ellen once again surged through Yvette.

Then, standing still where she was, Yvette lost her composure and burst into tears.

She thought, what should I do...

Just like this, Yvette tossed and turned in bed all night. And since she didn't have to work the next day, she rushed to the hospital to visit Ellen's parents early in the morning. Finally, she heard some news.

It was said that Jamie's fiancée was injured and hospitalized. Due to that, Yvette thought, Ellen being detained must have something to do with this.

However, Yvette failed to replace out which hospital Jamie's fiancée was in.

That afternoon, just when she felt lost, Charlie called.

Yvette picked it up, but both of them remained silent.

Finally, Charlie spoke, "Yvette, how are you?"

Yvette said coldly, "Very well. I have already transferred the medical expenses into your hospital account."

Charlie paused before sighing, "Yvette, you know I do not care about that."

But Yvette did not want to catch up with him since his lying to her had made her bear him a grudge and replace him unpredictable.

She said coldly, "Mr. Raison, don't call me if you just want to have a chat. I'm hanging up now."

Yvette calling him "Mr. Raison" made Charlie feel alienated.

Charlie, depressed, said, "Yvette, I can help you."

"What?"

"I know what happened to Ellen. I can help you."

Yvette's heart jolted. Then without even asking him why he knew about that, she said anxiously, "Really?"

"Yes, come replace me." Charlie gave her an address and then hung up the phone.

Yvette took a taxi to that address immediately.

The address was his venture capital firm.

The firm was a medium-sized one. And when Yvette arrived, a curvy secretary named Talia Blakey led her into Charlie's office.

Charlie was sitting on his chair. Seeing that Yvette had arrived, he rose from the chair. But since his legs had not fully recovered, he walked slowly to the sofa, sat down, and signaled to her to sit down as well. After having sat down, Yvette asked Charlie, "Do you know how Ellen is now in there?"

"Not quite well actually."

It turned out that Charlie knew the whole thing rather well. He even knew that Ellen had injured Fiona.

Moreover, he told Yvette that Ellen might be in danger now.

Yvette found it unbelievable. "How could that be? I mean, she hasn't officially been sentenced, right?"

Charlie pushed his glasses a bit and said slowly, "The danger is not from the prison, but from somewhere else. Think about what kind of people would go to that place. As far as I know, Jamie has found two criminals and asked them to 'take care of Ellen."

Yvette was speechless.

She didn't expect Jamie to be this bad.

Not resigned to just sending Ellen to prison, he actually asked people to torture Ellen in there.

At the thought of this, Yvette said anxiously, "Charlie, do you know how to save her? I beg you to get Ellen out as soon as possible."

The way Yvette called him now sounded intimate, which softened Charlie up a bit.

"I can help her, but that is subject to certain conditions."

Charlie's eyes looked passionate, which Yvette found unfamiliar.

"What conditions?"

Charlie got up slowly, walked up to Yvette, and sat down.

His breath, which was unfamiliar to Yvette, made her feel very uncomfortable and somewhat creepy. Due to that, Yvette hurried to lean back, but Charlie pulled her forcefully.

He caressed Yvette's face with his slender fingers while saying in a hoarse and low voice, "Be my girlfriend, a girlfriend who listens to me about everything."

As he caressed her, he found that her skin was fair and delicate, and her petal-like lips were smooth and full.

Charlie's Adam's apple rolled a bit. For the first time, he had urges to own a woman, and he wanted to have her very badly.

His eyes deep, Charlie then pulled her slender waist over and pressed his lips against hers before Yvette could say anything.

Yvette was stunned.

It happened so quickly that she didn't even have time to resist.

Moreover, they were now in an office with transparent windows.

How could he dare to make advances on her like this?

Then she turned her face away in panic and reached out to cover his lips, struggling with all her might.

But there was no way that Charlie would let her off that easily. Right now, all Charlie could feel was a surge of desire for Yvette. The desire was so strong that he couldn't think of anything else.

He exerted some strength in his palm, and soon, Yvette was pushed down onto the sofa, with his strong body pressing down on her.

Yvette's hands were locked tightly by him on the arms of the sofa.

Flustered, Yvette found Charlie rather strange.

"Charlie, what you are doing is illegal. Let me go!"

Charlie freed up a hand so as to take off his glasses. The warmth in his eyes disappeared. All that was left there were coldness and a chill.

He said faintly, "Yvette, you should have been mine in the first place."

Yvette could not understand what he was saying. And since Charlie was so powerful and Yvette simply could not move a bit, she shrank back her face and said sternly, "Let go of me now." Charlie stroked her hair while looking at the jade pendant on her neck. Then he comforted her, "Don't worry, I won't hurt you. Never. But I must own you completely."

With that, his handsome face pressed down again. With his hand pinching her chin, he kissed her heavily.

"Oh... You are crazy!"

Yvette struggled with all her might. Thanks to that, the kiss fell on her hair.

But Charlie had made up his mind. No matter what Yvette said, he was determined to have her.

Then he locked her tightly with his legs. But despite being forceful, he said in a very gentle tone, "You will feel pain down there. Don't struggle. And I will try my best to be gentle." Yvette thought, crazy!

Yvette never thought that Charlie would be a person gross like that.

She was irate. "We're not in a relationship at all. Stop that! Or I'll call the police."

"Funny..."

Charlie chuckled and said, "Yvette, don't be naive. There is nothing that can restrain me."

Now in Yvette's eyes, Charlie was a complete lunatic.

With tears of humiliation rolling down her cheeks, she sobbed, "Charlie, don't do this to me. I have always treated you as a friend. You can't hurt me like this." "Yvette, but I never want to be your friend. Do you understand?"
