Secretary's Secret Lover
Chapter 526 Make Up a Better Excuse

Chapter 526: Chapter 526 Make Up a Better Excuse

Juliette raised her head, full of pride.

In this deal, she was the one who had the upper hand.

After Lance returned, only Juliette knew that he was poisoned.

So, she immediately found him and proposed conditions.

Lance would certainly agree. After all, it was related to his life.

There was no cure for the poison, but not absolutely. Keith helped Juliette find the researcher and already knew what the antidote was.

Unexpectedly, Lance added a condition, which was to remove Yvette from the Charles family’s hunting list.

Lance seemed to know that Juliette could make it, and he directly mentioned the Charles family.

Juliette thought about it. With Lance’s ability, it was not difficult for him to find out that Keith was very close to Leonard Charles.

It was very easy for her to do it.

After all, Juliette was the one who played tricks to add Yvette’s name to the hunting list.

Since Juliette could not get love from Lance, she would give up but pestered him in another way. She believed she would win his heart one day.

"Juliette, there is something that you haven’t figured out yet."

Lance looked at Juliette with a murderous look. "The reason why the deal is done is that there is no other connection except for the deal per se."

"You want to play a dominant role?"

Lance clenched his fists and made a crisp sound. Then, he slowly walked up to Juliette.

The closer he walked, the faster Juliette’s heart beat.

Suddenly, Lance pinched her chin and looked at Juliette, who was suddenly scared. He said coldly, "Tell me, what allowed you to?"

Juliette wasn’t arrogant anymore, as Lance was extremely domineering.

She gritted her teeth and shivered. "Lance, you... It hurts... Let go..."

Lance ignored her cries of pain and asked slowly, "Who allowed you to play the dominant role? Did I?"

Lance then released his grip, and Juliette fell on the chair, gasping for breath.

Under the light, Lance’s face was extremely gloomy.

Juliette knew that he was completely angry.

In this situation, she did not dare to refute him.

After all, Juliette dared not provoke Lance when he went crazy.

She lowered her head, but she was still unwilling. Juliette gritted her teeth and said, "Lance, anyway, we’ll get married. At least..."

Juliette took a deep breath, her eyes red. "At least, you have to save some face for me in public."

"Don’t tell me that you didn’t read the contract carefully when you signed it."

Lance said coldly, "There is nothing but a wedding."

Juliette’s face suddenly turned pale.

It was her obsession with marrying Lance. As such, even if Lance did not want to marry her and just wanted to give her a wedding, she accepted it.

In any case, if anything were to happen to Lance, she would also be his wife in the eyes of outsiders.

Juliette would get all that she wanted anyway.

They were still at the dining table.

But the dishes were already cold. Lance seemed to have calmed down. He said flatly, "Come on. Isn’t this your favorite food?"

As he spoke, Lance put some food on Juliette’s plate.

When he put down the spoon, there was a crisp sound.

Lance smiled slightly. "Eat it."

Juliette bit her lip, her face extremely pale. The food was already cold, and it was definitely not delicious.

Moreover, she was in a bad mood right now.

"I... I don’t have an appetite." Juliette stood up hesitantly and stammered, "If you have something to do, I will leave by myself first."

"Sit down!" Lance said simply, but he sounded very intimidating.

Juliette immediately stiffened and then sat down.

"Didn’t you say that you really want to eat it?" Lance tapped on the table twice. "Finish it."

Lance put on a gloomy look, and Juliette broke out in a cold sweat.

For the first time, she was not only obsessed with Lance but also feared him.

Juliette knew that she had to finish it even if she did not want to.

"Fine." She clenched her fist tightly and stuffed the food into her mouth.

Juliette just wanted to finish it earlier and then left.

She was almost overwhelmed by Lance.

Suddenly, Lance said coldly, "You don’t have to care about the dress. I have already prepared it for you."

"Ahem..."

Juliette coughed when she heard this, and there was food in the corner of her mouth. Her makeup was also ruined by her sweat, so she looked very ugly at that moment.

How could she think about the dress now? Juliette only hoped that nothing would go wrong before the wedding.

Juliette thought, I’ll teach that slut a lesson after I get married.

If Juliette wanted to kill someone, it would be easy for her even if that person wasn’t on the hunting list.

Moreover, the hunting list only took effect abroad, and it was very hard to make it in New York.

When she wanted to kill Yvette, Juliette wouldn’t wait for even a moment.

"Alright, I understand." Juliette compromised.

Meanwhile...

Yvette and Susana had just finished eating.

Because of what happened just now, Yvette had no appetite and barely ate some.

When they reached the door, they saw a black SUV parked in front of them. The driver pushed the door open and walked out. It was Stephen.

Yvette was stunned. "Stephen, why are you here?"

Stephen walked over and smiled gently. "I just came back from Iceland yesterday. Marlon ordered me to send you home."

Stephen said in a half-joking tone. Yvette knew his relationship with Marlon. Because he was Marlon’s good friend, Stephen also took care of Yvette.

When Susana heard this, she clenched her fist and wanted to say that she would send Yvette off.

Unexpectedly, Stephen glanced at Susana and said gently, "Ms. Bard, Marlon said that you haven’t replied. He has something to talk to you about."

Susana blushed.

She thought Marlon was really hateful.

Stephen looked at her as if she had something to do with Marlon.

Yvette was also stunned when she heard this. She saw that Susana seemed to be reluctant, so Yvette asked, "It’s so late. Why did Marlon want to see Susana?"

"Well, I don’t know," Stephen said.

Yvette turned back to look at Susana. Susana calmed down and explained, "I met a shameless client in the studio. Yesterday, he made a move on me after he was drunk, and then Mr. Lynn dealt with him. In the end, that client said that he was going to sue me. Mr. Lynn said that he would handle this, so he probably wanted to see me."

Susana was not lying. It was indeed what had happened last night. At that time, there was probably a problem with the wine she drank, so she had a ridiculous night.

After that man was beaten up by Marlon, he made a false accusation and wanted to sue Susana for hiring Marlon to beat him up.

But Marlon solved it later and found a witness from the restaurant, confirming that the man did wrong and poisoned the wine.

In the afternoon, Marlon submitted the evidence to the police station and sent that man to jail.

Yvette was even more surprised. "Susana, why didn’t you tell me about such a big thing?"

She looked at Susana carefully. Fortunately, there were no obvious wounds.

Yvette said angrily, "That bastard bullied you. Are you hurt? Where is he? I’ll get the lawyer to sue him!"

"It’s fine. He didn’t take any advantage of me. Mr. Lynn handled it," Susana said.

Yvette had a hard time recently, so Susana didn’t tell her about such a troublesome thing.

With Marlon, Yvette was not that worried. She didn’t overthink it and said, "Okay, Marlon must be looking for you for this. Just call him back. Stephen will drive me home. Don’t worry."

Susana thought, he didn’t want me to call him back.

I’ve read the message. He wanted me to go back early.

He had taken advantage of me, but he still wanted to settle accounts with me.

Unbelievable!

I even lost my virginity to him.

Can’t we just let it go like this? It’s really awkward to bring it up.

Susana walked toward the car gloomily, deciding to go back to the studio to work. If Marlon did not see her after waiting for quite some time, he naturally would give up.

Susana had just unlocked the car door when the handle was pressed down from behind.

Because of what happened last night, she became extremely vigilant. Susana immediately raised her arm to hit the chin of the person behind her.

Unexpectedly, that person seemed to have known what she wanted to do and grabbed her wrist.

He pressed both of her palms against the car and stretched his legs to press her against the car door.

"Well, you want to use the move I taught you to deal with me?"

Marlon’s clear voice sounded, and Susana immediately calmed down.

"Why are you here?" She was surprised.

Before Marlon could answer, there was a whistle from the other side.

A drunkard shouted, "Buddy, you’re so wild. You even do it in public. Awesome!"

Susana did not understand what this drunkard meant at first.

When she saw their posture in the mirror, she realized it. Marlon was tall. He grabbed Susana’s wrist from behind, and they leaned on the car door. From the opposite side, they seemed to do something...

Instantly, Susana flushed.

"Phooweet!" The drunkard was still whistling. As soon as Marlon let go, he walked toward the man.

The drunkard’s friend rushed up from behind and covered his mouth. He kept apologizing to Marlon.

"Sorry, sir. Don’t argue with him. He got drunk... We’re so sorry..."

Susana also ran over, grabbed Marlon, and said in a low voice with a blushed face, "Come on. He didn’t do it on purpose. He was just drunk. Let’s go."

Moreover, Susana didn’t want to blow up such a shameful matter.

If Yvette asked, what would she say?

Could she tell Yvette that Marlon and she were misunderstood to have sex on the road...

Just thinking about it, Susana felt extremely awkward.

That drunkard’s friend thought Marlon was not to be trifled with given his domineering vibe.

He kept apologizing. "We’re sorry. We apologize to you and your girlfriend. Please show mercy and don’t argue with a drunkard. I will discipline him later."

When Marlon heard the word "girlfriend", he became less angry unexpectedly.

He said flatly, "Your friend is drunk. Take him back and have a good rest, or don’t regret it after causing trouble."

That meant Marlon would let them go. So, that man thanked and pulled the drunkard away.

Marlon turned his head and saw Susana holding the corner of his trench coat. He seemed to think about something.

It took a moment for Susana to recover from the shock, and she let go of her hand.

Then, she scratched the ground with her shoe and felt that it was a little awkward. Susana asked, "What are you doing here?"

"I’ll send you home," Marlon said simply. He took the key from her hand and walked up to the car.

"But..."

Susana had no time to refuse. Marlon had opened the door of the passenger seat, and she had to get into the car.

"What about your car?" Susana asked.

"The driver drove it away."

...

Susana thought for a moment and said, "I don’t need you to send me. I still have to go to work."

"It’s so late. If you have anything to do, do it tomorrow."

Susana was very unwilling to go with him. She made up an excuse. "No, I still have work to do."

Marlon took out his phone and dialed Yvette’s number.

"What are you doing?"

Susana was shocked and quickly leaned over to hang up the phone.

Marlon did not snatch it from her. He looked down and said, "I want to ask her if the studio won’t work without you."

"Stop." Susana’s voice became louder as she was anxious.

She used to be very serious in front of Marlon. After last night, they seemed to be a little closer to each other.

Especially now, Susana looked so cute when she was anxious.

"Alright, make up a better excuse then." Marlon smiled playfully.

Susana was speechless.

During that period, the car had already started.

...

In the black car in front of the restaurant.

Lance pursed his lips and watched the car carrying Yvette slowly drive away.

The atmosphere in the car seemed to be charged in an instant.

"Mr. Wolseley, where are we going?" Frankie asked.

"Follow them."

Frankie followed the front car.

Until the car stopped at West Lake Villa, Frankie stopped the car not far away.

Stephen got out of the driver’s seat and ran to open the door for Yvette gracefully.

They stood in front of the car and exchanged a few words before Stephen told Yvette to hurry in.

"Stephen, thank you. I’ll treat you to a meal another day," said Yvette with a warm smile.

"That’s OK," Stephen said.

After taking two steps, Yvette suddenly turned around and looked at Stephen. "Is there any new news about your trip to Iceland?"

"Yes, I checked the departure record of the Charles family. There are only five people whose schedule fits the time."

Stephen originally wanted to talk about it tomorrow, but since Yvette had asked, he turned around and took out a safety phone.

He showed Yvette the photos of the five people one by one.

When Yvette saw one of the men with scars, her hair stood on end. She said in fear, "It’s him!"
