Chapter 24 Grievances
Julian’s grievances were hard to ignore.
I was upset, you’d buy me
“You used to call me honey, and you’d surprise me every day. When I was happy, you’d give me loving hugs. When I w cupcakes to cheer me up.
Whatever I did was right, and you’d only praise and encourage me. When did you start hitting me and threatening to stab me like this?”
The answer evaded Yvonne.
At this moment, she wanted to take an iron and flatten his face
As Julian’s words were all fake.
She couldn’t bear it any longer and retorted. “It’s you who kept surprising me, Mr. Lawson Me, the girlfriend who’d blocked you on WhatsApp. calling you honey, comforting you, buying you cupcakes, and treating you like the love of my life?
A night of love is deeper than the sea! Come on, did we sleep together in your dreams or something?
Julian looked at her calmly, his face not turning red, his breath not quickening. “On your 20th birthday, we all had some drinks, and we had sex.”
“Oh, I don’t remember that.”
| Julian said. “You drank too much.”
Yvonne laughed. “You’re always having these imaginary orgasms in your head. Aren’t you the one who was drunk?”
Julian remained nonchalant. “Someone put her pants back on and pretended nothing happened. Your mouth is stronger than my waist.”
Yvonne looked at the celling
If it weren’t for Milford being in Julian’s hands, she would have thrown Julian out of the window, bed and all, today.
“But Julian, i never celebrate my birthday.”
Her simple words somehow put an end to Julian’s nonsense.
Julian paused.
Rather than embarrassment at being debunked, there was more surprise in his eyes.
He wanted to ask more, but Yvonne changed the subject. “Did you delete the photo!”
Julian glanced down.
The fruit knife was still pressed against his abdomen, the chill seeping through his thin hospital gown
Julian!
I was Julian’s assistant, Vicente’s voice.
Then the door was pushed open.
At the same time, Julian suddenly put his arm around Yvonne’s shoulder and pulled | her, knite and all, towards him.
“Juhan Lawsont“
Yvonne was caught off guard. Her hand holding the knife instinctively tightened, turning the blade,
With Julian’s pull, the distance between them closed instantly.
From Vicente’s perspective, what a big Wow!
His boss Julian was intunately holding Yvonne, as if they were about to pour out their hearts to each other. And Yvonne was holding an apple, staring at Julian lovingly
In the blink of an eye, they had gone from being opponents who wanted to kill each other to being lifelong companions.
Vicente had never been in love, so he didn’t know if his intuition about this sc
scene was right.
Yvonne brushed Julian’s arm off her shoulder and looked at Vicente
Tin just peeling an apple.”
Julum added, “And she’s peeling it for me”
Yvonne was smiling, but her eyes were burning with anger.
“You don’t even spare the apple peel
Seeing how far Yvonne had gone, Vicente barely suppressed his urge to deal with her In a kind tone, he said, “Julian’s right, Ms. Burton. You’re really attentive! I’ll leave now!”
The door closed
Before Yvonne could retaliate, Julian hurried to explain. If Vicente saw you holding a knife to me, he’d fight you to the death right away.
You know, he’s stubborn. He’s been wanting to go to the Burton residence alone and cause trouble. I was afraid he’d act impulsively, and I wouldn’t be able to stop him in time.

Yvonne was speechless.

You don’t really think you can control everything, do you? This is my territory, not yours.”
Eightast Hospital was her turf.
she could turn it into an impenetrable private prison in no time.
Julian didn’t argue anymore. He tore a piece of paper from the bedside and wrote down a phone number.
“He’s at the Merry Fork Club, but I’ve instructed my subordinates that only you can go and pick him up personally.”
Yvonne snotched the paper from between his fingers and turned to leave..
Just as she was about to step out of the room, she heard Julian sigl
“You know, the way you’re leaving with that paper, it’s like a woman who sleeps with someone and leaves without even asking if bar’s okay afterwant. Isn’t that a bit heartless?”.
Yvonne ignored him.
She left the hospital room and got into the elevator with Nadine.
Nadine was eager to save Milford, and her face lit up after the matter was resolved.
Yvonne. I’ll remember this favor for the rest of my life. Even though we’re close, I’m still your subordinate. How can I let you lower yourself to handle this messy situation for met Dean’t let you suffer this ingibatice for nothing. Come on, make a request.”
Yvonne was about to speak when Nadine added,
“As long as it doesn’t involve spending money, anything goes.”
Yvonne replied, “I don’t have any requests
Nadine smiled. “Thurw you were the best!”
Yvonne knew that Nadine only had two kinds of enemies in the world.

One was someone who larmed the people she protected, and the other was someone who touched her wallei.
Once, Siera invited Nadine to sing, but Nadine’s singing was so bad that she found a substitute singer at the i
The singer’s voice won the hearts of both women.
Nadine Ortiz was so happy that she wanted to give a 10–dollar tip.
But when she entered the amount, the accidentally typed too.
Thankfully, the Ortiz family had accumulated good karna, and the 100 dollars wasn’t deducted due to inatticient Bands
Then Sienna watched as Nadine tried and laughed at the same time, downing two bottles aged liquor
It took Sienna 200 dollars to ralin her down.
Yvonne had thangla Nadine was just saving moury for something big, which was why she was so stingy. Now she realized that Nadine was genuinely broke
Star was also curamos about what kind of man could deceive Nadine so completely.
At this time, the elevator doors opencil.
As Yvonne stepped out of the elevator, she saw a familiar face
Slune
His expression faltered, seemingly surprised to see Yvonne there, or maybe he had expected it but not this soon.
Alter a brief maanent of surpose, Slane became proud and self righteous.
She had kicked Trivia and thest out, wanted a divorce, and was throwing a tantum to assert her position in the family.

He was about to grab Yvonne’s hand when he noticed Nadine. His smile widened even more. “It’s good that she’s here. Her team can help with the restoration work, and the house can get back to nomul soon.
Nadine looked at Shane with a disdainful expression, her lips pressed together.
Yvonne didn’t even bother to smile. Sure, you can just wait.”
“Yvonne, is this your attitude to atone!”
“Why have I done wrong”
“You didn’t take good care of your mother–in–law, which is a great act of disrespect,” Shane said, restraining his temper and focusing on the urgent matter. The medication Maggie bought seems to be a counterfeit. You should notify the old doctor and ask him to make some more medication for

“Ive given the contact information to your mom. You can have Maggie ask her for it.”
Shane remained calm on the surface, but his eyes already betrayed extreme impatience
Im not sure if they didn’t recognize my mom’s identity, but she called them, and they said the old doctor has retired and doesn’t make medication anymore.”
Hearing that Yvonne shook her head regretfully. “Maybe your mom doesn’t have as much influence as you do, so they didn’t take her seriously. Maybe if you go and ask him personally, he’ll agree. After all, she’s just the woman your biological father abandoned, while you’re his only son Shane was dissatisfied with Yvonne in every way.
But he had to admit that Yvonne’s words were very pertinent
He would have to take care of this matter personally.
