Chapter 454 To Sow Discord

Chapter 454: Chapter 454 To Sow Discord

Yvette took the chance and gave Charlie a sharp push against his chest.

Charlie was caught off guard and staggered back a few steps.

In an instant, that face full of fake gentleness darkened.

Yvette did not have time for him. She ran to the bedside and grabbed Lance’s hand. She said in surprise, "Lance, you’re awake?"

Lance furrowed his brows tightly. His eyes, which were burning with anger, instantly softened when he saw Yvette.

"Don’t be afraid, I’m here."

He held Yvette’s hand, and their fingers interlocked. Then his eyes swept the crowd coldly as he spoke.

"No one can hurt you."

He gave a glance to Charlie and also Tanya.

And the moment before he looked away, the obvious disappointment in his eyes made Tanya’s heart jump.

That glance meant the deterioration of their relationship, which was already hanging on by a thin thread.

At this time, Frankie had gotten rid of the bodyguards outside, and he brought more people in.

He waved his hand, and the bodyguards stepped forward and held down Charlie.

Lance’s accident had been kept secret from the outside world.

But somehow the news was leaked. As expected, as soon as Colton heard the news, he made his move and made public Charlie’s identity.

Today, Charlie came too suddenly, and Frankie was not prepared for it. Hence chaos in the ward occurred.

Charlie’s bodyguards were very difficult to deal with. Even though they were injured, they rushed in and confronted the bodyguards who held Charlie.

Charlie sneered, "My brother, it’s our first time meeting. What are you doing? Do you hate me, your younger brother, this much?"

Lance’s eyes were full of killing intent, and he said coldly, "I’ve only slept for a few days, and all kinds of disgusting people have popped out."

Then, he ignored Charlie and ordered Frankie, "Those who don’t need to be here, get them all out."

The two bodyguards first got Tanya out.

Although Tanya was reluctant to leave, she had to after she met Lance’s eyes.

Before she knew it, she had followed the guards out of the room.

Only Charlie was left in the room. He refused to leave.

While the bodyguards were in a confrontation, he smiled and said.

"Lance, I was just trying to say a few things to Yvette. You got nervous?"

He deliberately brought up Yvette.

Previously, whenever Yvette was mentioned, Lance would lose control.

As expected, Lance’s pale face turned cold. He held Yvette’s hand tightly, and his knuckles turned white!

Yvette could feel it and lightly touched his hand to ease him.

Charlie found it more and more interesting. He smiled and continued.

"Lance, we are a family now. We’ll meet each other often. If you are always so unfriendly to me, others will think that people of the Wolseley family are at odds with each other."

"Family?" Lance said in a frosty tone. "You don’t deserve to be my family."

Lance had become more stable after a long time.

He was no longer as grumpy as before.

But how could Charlie let go of this opportunity so easily? He smiled and said.

"Lance, so you are still angry with me. That’s understandable after what has happened between Yvette and me. If I had known that we were blood brothers, I would have stayed away from Yvette, but...

Charlie paused and looked at Yvette. His voice was gentle and tender.

"But it has already happened. Please forgive me for it. I was too stupid back then."

It seemed like an apology, but it was more like he was confirming that the rumors about their past were true.

Charlie was trying to provoke Lance.

As expected, a cold expression appeared on Lance’s handsome face, and the veins on the back of his hand bulged.

If he weren’t lying on the bed, he would have shattered Charlie’s hypocritical face with his fist!

Charlie saw Lance’s expression and smiled even more gracefully.

"Alright, I’d better not disturb your rest."

He looked at Yvette and said, "Yvette, let’s catch up sometime."

Even though he had to leave, he did not forget to sow discord between the couple.

"Wait a minute." Yvette stopped him.

In an instant, Lance’s eyes darkened, and he held her hand tightly.

Apart from anger, there was also insecurity in his eyes.

Charlie saw it and found it even more interesting.

As ever, Lance was insecure.

This made it easy for him to mislead Lance with the same tricks.

"What’s wrong, Yvette?"

He walked close to Yvette, a bit too close, leaned over, and said to her, "If you have anything to say, you can say it later. I will wait for you..."

Lance tightened his grip. Yvette patted his hand and comforted him, "I will be back soon."

Lance didn’t want to let go of her, but...

His heart throbbing, he restrained himself and released her. "Okay, I’ll wait for you."

"Yes."

The two did not go far. They stood outside the ward.

Lance could clearly hear their conversation.

Yvette knew Lance got jealous easily, so she meant to let Lance hear.

However, Charlie felt that this was even more exciting.

He looked at the exceptionally beautiful face in front of him, his eyes full of tenderness. "Yvette, what do you want to say to me?"

Slap!

There was a sound.

Yvette slapped him hard.

Charlie was caught off guard. And he heard Yvette say slowly and clearly.

"This is what I want to say!"

Charlie didn’t reply.

Instantly, silence fell over the corridor.

The smile that Charlie had been wearing was finally gone.

It was replaced by a sullen expression.

"Yvette, is this a joke?"

"Mr. Raison, you joked first."

The way she addressed him made Charlie’s eyes darken instantly.

Yvette did not even want to call him by his name, more unwilling to admit that he was a Wolseley.

"What happened between you and me in the past? Why don’t I know?"

Charlie smiled coldly, "Yvette, do you want me to say it? What if Lance gets jealous?"

"Just say it."

"Yvette, we used to be so close, weren’t we?"

"Ha!" Yvette sneered.

"Mr. Raison, are you delusional? We were close?"

Yvette felt that she had been too ignorant in the past.

She always positively thought of people.

She couldn’t tell if a person had ill intentions.

She looked at Charlie, who was gonna reveal his true face, and said coldly.

"Have you forgotten? You approached me on purpose, tried to sow discord between us, and abducted me after I refused you?"

"Yvette."

Charlie looked at her with affection in his eyes.

"It was because he didn’t trust you and had hurt you. At that time, I wanted to get back at him for you, but I was not powerful enough. I often wondered if I were a little more powerful, would you fall in love with me and be with me?"

"Are you sure these were your thoughts at that time?"

Yvette looked at him with a sneer. "Are you sure you didn’t do it because I was useful to you?"

No wonder Charlie would show up every time there was a misunderstanding between Lance and her.

It seemed that Charlie had started to use her at that time.

And now, this person, whom she had truly seen as a friend, was still trying to use her.

Yvette’s beautiful face was sullen. She replied without any hesitation.

"Mr. Raison, I can tell you that I have never wanted us to be more than friends."

Charlie’s handsome face sank immediately.

Yvette stared at Charlie, whose expression was constantly changing, and her voice became colder.

"But I regret that I had been too blind and saw you as a friend.

"From now on, we will no longer be friends, so please keep your distance from me.

"And if Mr. Raison continues to make things up and slander me, I’ll sue you for defamation!"
