Chapter 278 Leave for Good

Yvette was caught off guard and fell backwards. Fortunately, Lance was behind her and caught her in time.

"How could she belong to you? You're crazy. She would rather die than stay with you. She definitely didn't want you to touch her. Just let her go!"

Yvette still wanted to grab Ellen's body. Yet, Lance held Yvette's hands from behind and prevented her from going over.

Having known Jamie for many years, Lance noticed that Jamie was a little crazy now.

Afraid that Yvette would be accidentally injured, Lance said in a low voice, "Calm down. He will hurt you."

Jamie held Ellen's body from day to night. He sat there motionlessly.

When Jack came to urge Jamie, Jamie said something frightening.

"I'm taking her home."

Jamie wanted to take Ellen's body to Oasis Apartment. This was the place where they shared the most memories.

Jack looked shocked. He said in a trembling voice, "Mr. McBride, how do we bring her back?"

"Go arrange for a cenotaph for her. Then arrange for someone to send an ice coffin home."

Jack was startled.

Jack thought, that's crazy!

Mr. McBride must be crazy!

How could the ice coffin be placed at home?

But at that moment, Jack did not dare to say anything and could only do as Jamie said.

Very quickly, the date of burial was chosen. Yvette and the others were all present.

No one knew that this was just a cenotaph and Ellen's body was not inside.

After the mourning, Yvette left early because she did not like Jamie.

Yvette didn't want to mourn Ellen with Jamie at the same time. Yvette thought Jamie shed crocodile tears after Ellen's death. Jamie was not worthy of pity at all. On the way back, Lance's phone rang.

It was from Frankie. Frankie said that Yazmin was not in good condition and she wanted to see Lance.

Yvette heard it clearly from the side. She suddenly reached out to pull the car door.

A sudden screeching was heard.

The car came to a screeching halt.

Lance stopped the car and pulled her, shouting, "You're crazy!"

Yvette was in a bad mood and shook him off.

"Get lost! Don't touch me!"

Yvette's pinky cut the back of Lance's hand. Lance didn't care much.

Lance frowned and said, "Don't mess around. This is a viaduct. Where are you going?"

Yvette said coldly, "Aren't you going to see your child's mother? Hurry up and go! I can go back by myself." "What are you talking about?"

Lance grasped her hand again and said unhappily, "How many times do I have to tell you that it is not my child?"

After Ellen's death, Yvette was despondent. She was even impatient with Lance.

"Lance, am I a fool to you? If that isn't your child, how could she turn to you when something happened?

"I have sent the divorce agreement to your personal email. Could you please check it and sign it before becoming a good

father?"

Hearing Yvette mention the divorce agreement, Lance was angry.

Lance looked sullen immediately. "Yvette, I don't want to hear you mention divorce again!"

Yvette thought, I really do not understand. He does not want to divorce. However, he wants to have a child with Yazmin.

Is he going to let me be their child's stepmother?

This is absurd!

Whenever I think of what Yazmin has done, I hate her so much that I'll never help her raise her child.

"Lance, don't go too far! Are you going to let me raise your illegitimate child? It's not happening!

"I'd rather raise a cat and a dog than Yazmin's child!"

Yvette was so disgusted by Lance that she almost wanted to vomit.

"I never said I wanted you to raise the child."

Lance frowned. "What are you thinking about?”

Yvette thought, what am I thinking about...

As long as I think of that child, I can't let it go and my heart aches.

Even though I tell Lance these things, he will not believe them.

Moreover, he stood on Yazmin's side several times in the past and allowed Yazmin to frame me.

The two of them are inextricably linked. I cannot get involved at all.

Therefore, I don't expect Lance to get justice for my child.

"That child is Lucas"!"

Noticing that Yvette minded it so much, Lance suddenly said something shocking.

"What?" Yvette widened her eyes.

Yvette thought, I really did not expect this...

Yazmin and Lucas seem to come from two different worlds. How could they be together?

"It's Lucas'," Lance repeated.

His slender fingers caressed Yvette's hair. Lance said lightly, "I can only tell you this. You should believe me. I will tell you everything in the future."

Even revealing this piece of news was still a certain risk to Lance.

Recently, Colton had suddenly gone crazy and used all kinds of methods to grab power.

Lucas had decisive evidence to take Colton down, Lucas secretly hid the document as a guarantee.

Lucas committed a crime and was sent to jail. After Colton caused Lance trouble, Lucas contacted Lance. As long as Lance could help Lucas protect the child in Yazmin's belly, Lucas would cooperate unconditionally after he was released.

Lance now had to let outsiders mistakenly think that Yazmin's child was his so that Colton could put down his guard.

These things were too complicated. The less Yvette knew, the better. As long as Lance endured for three months, Lance could completely bring Colton down.

Thinking of Ellen's death, Lance felt a little uneasy.

Yvette's behavior was very strange. Lance couldn't say that Yvette was not sad. Just now, when Yvette was at Jamie's place, she cried so desperately. She wanted to kill Jamie..

However, Lance always felt that something was wrong with Yvette. It was not due to her sadness.

"Yvette, you won't leave me, right?" said Lance in a slightly hoarse voice as he stared at Yvette.

Lance thought, if I have to choose. I'll continue to lock her up for three months. It's better than letting her escape.

What's more, she is still talking about divorce.

Yvette felt the control in his eyes, and she was suddenly nervous.

It was no good for Yvette to provoke Lance now. So, she could only reply dishonestly, "I won't leave."

Then, Yvette raised her delicate face and asked in a low voice, "Lance, I cannot go to work. But, can you stop locking me up? I

feel like a prisoner."

Lance looked at Yvette as if he was trying to replace out whether Yvette was telling the truth.

"Ellen is gone, and I feel so sad. You still keep me locked up all day. Do you still treat me as a person?" Yvette choked with sobs.

"Don't cry."

Lance reached out to wipe the tears from the corner of Yvette's eyes. Finally, he softened up and said, "You can go out, but you have to let the bodyguards accompany you. Don't wander too long outside, understand?"

Yvette's face turned pale.

She thought, isn't this just disguised surveillance?

Forget it, it's much better than not going out at all.

After Lance sent Yvette back to Serenity Villa, he still left.

It was self-evident where he went.

Yvette thought that she didn't care about it for a long time. However, watching Lance go to Yazmin, Yvette still recalled the traumatic events in the past.

Yvette hated Yazmin and Lance.

Thinking of her plan to leave, Yvette was extremely obedient. Even though Lance allowed her to go out, Yvette still hadn't gone out for two days.

Lance had not come to Yvette for the past two days. Yvette didn't know whether he was accompanying Yazmin.

Every day, the bodyguards would report what Yvette did to Lance.

However, Yvette had been too obedient these past two days. This satisfied Lance very much. The bodyguards also relaxed their vigilance.

On the third day, Yvette told the bodyguards that she was going out.

Yvette went to the photography shop. Before Ellen had an accident, they had taken photos here.

Yvette came to get the photos today and then left.

Marcus had already arranged a route for Yvette to go abroad.

Yvette wanted to leave the country.

After they arrived at the photography shop, the bodyguards were waiting in the car outside.

Yvette was waiting on the second floor for a staffer to take the photos over. She deliberately wet her clothes, bought a set of casual clothes in the photography shop, and took it to the locker room to change.

A staffer pointed to the locker room on the left corridor and smiled. "Feel free to use whatever you need."

When Yvette passed by the stairwell, she saw a slender figure going upstairs.

As Yvette took a closer look, it was actually Lance.

Immediately, Yvette was so frightened that she went into the nearest locker room to hide.

Yvette did not see the notice that it was a special room.

In the locker room, Yvette was still trembling.

Yvette thought, this shop is a place for wedding photos. Why is Lance here?

Does he know my plan and come to catch me?

At that time, a familiar voice came from the next dressing room, as if the person was on the phone.

"I am trying on a wedding dress... Lance is here to take a wedding photo with me..."

It was Yazmin.

In a second, Yvette felt down.

Yvette thought, so, they are here to take wedding photos.

Her hands were clenched tightly, and her lips curled into a mocking smile. However, Yvette could not help but shed silent

tears.

Yvette thought, Lance has lied to me again!
