Secretary's Secret Lover

Chapter 504: Chapter 504 Make a Deal

Looking at her clear and forbearing eyes, Charlie felt softhearted, but this softness was not enough to sway his ambition.

As someone who survived all kinds of torture from his mentally ill mother, he was deeply aware of the importance of power.

Only by grasping power could he get everything he wanted, including women.

He said with an indifferent face, "I said it wasn’t me. It’s just that I may know where she is."

Yvette’s mind was in a mess now, and she couldn’t figure out who was involved in this matter. She just wanted to find Isabel.

"Tell me..."

"Please. Tell me." Her clear eyes were filled with tears.

The corner of Charlie’s lips twitched slightly. "Are you begging me? It seems that your sincerity is not enough..."

Plop!

Yvette knelt on the ground without any hesitation.

"I know. It’s all my fault. I should not have offended you. Please..."

She looked at the man with her watery eyes and implored, "Please. Return Belle to me..."

For the sake of Isabel, she could do anything.

Now, time was money.

Otherwise, Yvette couldn’t imagine how these animals would hurt her child...

"You!" Instead of being happy, Charlie glared at Yvette.

Her kneeling in front of him here undoubtedly ruined the persona he had just established.

Others would only think that he was threatening her.

"Get up!" Charlie grabbed her arm and said through gnashed teeth. "Yvette, don’t piss me off!"

As he spoke, he dragged her to a corner that no one would notice.

Yvette obediently said, "Give Belle back to me..."

"Is that all you can say?" Charlie narrowed his eyes.

He looked like a gentleman, but when his face turned cold, it would reveal a hint of unspeakable gloominess.

In particular, his eyes behind the gold-rimmed glasses would make people think of the wild fox lurking in the dark night.

There was a hidden danger behind his handsome face. He seemed like a refined rascal.

"What exactly do you want?" Yvette’s eyes were already completely red. She tried her best to hold back her rage and wished to tear this crafty man into pieces.

"What do I want?" Charlie hooked her chin and sized her face up before saying, "Then sleep with me..."

Yvette felt a chill run down her spine. She restrained her urge to throw up and asked, "What about Celia Tanke?"

Celia had been engaged to Charlie for half a month.

The Tanke family was picked by Colton for Charlie. Given Charlie’s identity, he must marry a woman whose family background was powerful enough so that he could get what he wanted.

As for the Tanke family, they rose to fame for doing charities and had a good reputation. It was the best choice for Charlie.

With his handsome and elegant appearance and a few flirtatious skills, he quickly won Celia’s heart.

This time, Celia even stepped forward to clarify the video incident and claimed that it was merely a mistake.

She expressed that she trusted her fiancé very much.

She was totally crazy about Charlie.

"Yvette..."

The corners of Charlie’s lips curled up slightly, and he said in a hoarse voice, "You should know that no matter whom I marry, she can’t replace you in my heart."

Yvette felt a surge of nausea. His words were so gross.

He wanted Yvette to be his mistress.

Charlie’s passionate gaze fell on Yvette’s face. He said in a low voice, "Yvette, just stay behind me. Don’t worry about anything. I will love you dearly..."

At this moment, Yvette only wanted to slap him in the face!

How could he say such disgusting words in such a righteous way?

He was so thick-skinned!

Yvette’s expression froze. It was hard to tell if she was happy or angry, but this kind of emptiness was exactly what a man liked.

He gently pressed her shoulder and said in a husky voice, "No worries. As long as you are with me, I will ensure the safety of you and the child. Although Belle is not my child, I will not let her suffer."

Hearing his words, Yvette wanted to throw up and felt disgusted.

Clearly, the man seemed to be saying, "I’ve magnanimously accepted your child. Why aren’t you still satisfied?"

For the first time, she realized one could be so disgusting to this extent.

Yvette unexpectedly did not resist him. She raised her head to meet his gaze and said softly, "Since you said you loved me, tell me honestly. Is it you who kidnapped Belle?"

The man was stunned.

This was the first time Yvette didn’t refute his love for her.

It made him feel very good.

He rubbed her hair and said gently, "No, it isn’t me."

He would not do such a stupid thing now.

Yvette carefully observed his expression. After making sure that he was not lying, she retracted her gaze.

Charlie liked her gentle appearance and softly said, "Tonight, come to my place..."

As he spoke, he couldn’t wait to pull the woman into his arms, but Yvette dodged him.

The man’s expression became gloomy instantly.

With complicated feelings on her little face, Yvette said, "Charlie, I need to think about it..."

Her attitude was still very cold, but she didn’t talk fiercely as before.

Charlie looked down at her for a few seconds and suddenly chuckled. "Yes, but I have to remind you that the 48 hours after one is missing are the golden hours. You don’t have much time now..."

Yvette’s little face turned pale.

Charlie held her shoulders and held her in his arms. He said gently, "Why are you still shilly-shallying? As I said, I will love you dearly. For years, I’ve never fallen in love with anyone but you..."

Yvette trembled slightly.

"Alright..."

Charlie was in a good mood. He did not want to push her too hard. He turned her head and said gently, "I’ll give you time to think about it... But don’t think too long, okay?"

Yvette’s eyes were filled with exhaustion. She nodded weakly.

Charlie looked at her tenderly and said gently, "Shall I send you home?"

"I want to go on my own," Yvette said.

"Alright," Charlie said with a chuckle.

Even if Yvette was still a little resistant now, so what? Anyway, they had plenty of time!

He would always make her fall in love with him!

It was easy for him to control a person.

...

When the two of them appeared in the corridor of the company at the same time, they happened to meet Celia coming to them.

When the woman saw Charlie, she called him in a daze, "Charlie..."

Then, her gaze fell on Yvette warily.

The woman in front of her was very beautiful, and her small face was pale. It was easy to make others feel pity for her.

Celia had never seen Yvette before, so she did not know who she was.

She asked, "Charlie, who is this?"

Charlie said calmly, "My sister-in-law."

His sister-in-law...

It turned out that this was his sister-in-law who was rumored to be with him in the video!

Celia took a step forward and tightly held onto Charlie’s arm as if she was declaring her relationship with him.

"Hello, nice to meet you."

Yvette really couldn’t crack a smile. She couldn’t be as shameless as Charlie, so she just said hi with a poker face.

Then, she said goodbye to the two of them and turned to leave.

Celia was a little awkward. She leaned against Charlie’s shoulder gently and said, "Charlie, why does your sister-in-law seem to dislike me?"

Charlie said gently, "That’s not true. You think too much."

Celia turned around and looked at him. She pouted slightly and said, "But ... why do I feel something is going on between you two..."

"Celia." The smile on Charlie’s face got lighter. He looked gloomy and horrid.

It sounded as if he was calling her name as usual, but Celia could somehow sense a hint of intimidation.

She subconsciously began to apologize and stammered, "I’m ... sorry, Charlie."

The bickering between a fiancé and a fiancée could be considered a way of flirting.

In the past, Celia would throw a tantrum on some small matters, but she had never seen Charlie show such an expression.

It was the first time that she suddenly felt that he was a little terrifying.

Unexpectedly, the next second, the man gently held her in his arms and said gently, "That’s my good girl."

The man’s handsome face seemed to be filled with endless love.

Celia fell for him instantly, feeling warm and sweet.

In an instant, she forgot about the previous disgruntlement.

She held him tightly and rubbed her head against the man’s chest. She said shyly, "Charlie, I will go to your place tonight..."

This was why she came here today.

It had been two months since they met and got engaged.

It was time for them to take a step forward in their relationship.

Charlie chuckled and teased in a low voice, "You wanna come to my place... Aren’t you afraid that I will have sex with you?"

Celia blushed instantly.

She held his waist tightly and said, "You are really ... so bad."

If she looked up now, she would see that Charlie’s expression was extremely cold.

There was no trace of love at all.

He said in a low voice, "I have to work overtime tonight. Wait until I finish this project..."

Celia was a little disappointed, but she could only pretend to be forgiving.

"Alright, work is more important."

She was eager to win Charlie’s favor and said, "If you need my dad’s help, just tell me."

"OK."

Charlie gave her a gentle hug. They just looked like a young couple in love.

...

Yvette returned to the studio and began to think hard.

Anyway, her acting skills were still somewhat fine.

She figured that her kneeling, flaring up, desperate begging, and the last compromise must be somewhat convincing to him.

She did all of this merely for the sake of Isabel’s safety. She must act like she was helpless and irrational. This way, the ringleader could be relaxed and she could grasp the loophole.

However, Charlie said that he didn’t do it...

Colton also looked as if he didn’t know about it at all. Then, who on earth kidnapped Isabel?

Yvette wrote all the names on the paper and crossed them off one by one.

Finally, she stopped at Juliette’s name...

She thought of something and immediately called Marlon.

"Marlon, is Juliette out of prison?"

She did not have the time to pay attention to Juliette’s information. All she remembered was that Juliette was at the police station.

Marlon said, "Yes, I heard that she committed suicide by cutting her wrist. She is now having special treatment."

Since Isabel’s disappearance, Marlon put aside everything he had at hand and searched for her in all directions, but it was all in vain.

He also paid attention to Juliette and found out that she had no possibility of meeting outsiders.

He told Yvette about this, but Yvette felt that among these people, Juliette was the most suspicious.

After thinking for a few seconds, she said, "Marlon, you keep an eye on the Beckford family. I’ll go to the hospital to keep an eye on Juliette."

Marlon said, "Even if you go to the hospital, you won’t be able to see her. She is being supervised."

There was no conclusive evidence at the moment to prove that she had committed a crime.

However, Juliette was still a suspect, so the police naturally placed her in an isolated ward according to the regulations.

"I know. I will take a look around," Yvette said.

As she spoke, she began to act.

Unexpectedly, after staying in the hospital for a while, she saw Tanya enter Juliette’s ward.

It turned out that the only person Juliette wanted to see in the ward was Tanya.

After Tanya went in, she looked at Juliette, who was lying on the bed with a weak face, and said coldly, "Why do you demand meeting me?"

"Mom..."

With her pale lips, Juliette called Tanya in the way she did before, making Tanya feel particularly uncomfortable.

Tanya directly threw an appraisal report on Juliette’s face.

Tanya said coldly, "Don’t call me mom. Both Lance and I have nothing to do with you!"

Juliette looked at the report, her expression not changing at all.

In the beginning, she could not accept that she was pregnant with Jovanny’s child.

The moment she found that out, it was like a bolt from the blue.

However, afterward, she thought of an idea. She wanted to turn this child into Lance’s.

Originally, she wanted to use the injection to threaten the man, but she did not expect that the man would give his life away in order to save that bitch.

From the beginning, she could not get over it, and she actually felt that this was good.

In this way, she was pregnant with Lance’s child, and no one could refute it.

She just didn’t expect Tanya to have a backup plan.

She smiled weakly. "Mom, I heard that you wanted to see your granddaughter, right?"

"What did you say?" Tanya was astonished.

She had just heard about Isabel being kidnapped not long ago.

The moment she knew, she had already sent people out to search for clues.

Tanya grabbed Juliette’s hospital gown and shouted, "It’s you. You kidnapped my granddaughter, right?"

Grabbed by Tanya, Juliette started coughing non-stop.

The wound on her hand almost opened.

"Let go of me..." she said with difficulty.

Tanya held her tightly and shouted, "You vile woman! How dare you kidnap my granddaughter! I will kill you!"

"Ahem..."

"I must kill you! You vile woman!"

At this time, a nurse rushed in and pulled Tanya away.

She also reprimanded Tanya, "How can you treat the patient like this!"

It took Juliette a long time to calm down. After drinking some water, she slowly recovered.

The little nurse was vigilant. "Miss, should I call the police officer in for you?"

She waved her hand and said weakly, "No, you can go out."

The nurse was puzzled, but as Juliette insisted, she had to go out.

When there was no one in the ward, Juliette coughed twice and said proudly, "Mom, how about making a deal with me?"

Tanya’s eyes sank. She said furiously, "Do you know what you are doing? You are breaking the law. You’ll be charged with crime upon crime!"
