Chapter 2141

You Initiated It

Melissa closed the door from the outside and slowly locked it.

"Go ahead.I have to lock this door so that it doesn’t raise suspicion.It'll also buy you some time."

Melissa said as she slowly put the lock back on.Yvette should be happy, but she had a vague feeling
that something was wrong.

For some reason, she felt a little nervous.

Yvette had to get to the 26th floor, so she gritted her teeth and ran downstairs.She could not remember
when Floyd Stanton’s birthday was, but it seemed to be in this season.

Yvette excitedly ran down two floors and saw a person standing there.

In an instant, her whole body turned cold and stiff like she had fallen into an ice cave.

"Ms.Quimbey, long time no see! I’ve been waiting for you since I was kicked out of the villa."

The person standing there seemed to have been waiting for her.He was not at all surprised to see
Yvette and smiled at her lewdly.

That person was Sean's skinny subordinate, Lex.Yvette was repulsed by him because his manners and
gaze were no different from perverts.

Now...She lifted her foot and ran upstairs.However, the door of the emergency stairwell was locked.

Right, Melissa locked it.Yvette felt a chill in her heart, which kept sinking.

Something in her mind suddenly snapped.



Daisy took the initiative to talk to Yvette and revealed that Floyd Stanton was celebrating his birthday
downstairs.

When Yvette met Melissa, Melissa also took the initiative to unlock the door and let her leave.

Was it just so Yvette would fall into Lex’s hands? Everything suddenly became clear.

This was probably their plan! Yvette’s expression turned gloom as she heard footsteps approaching her
slowly.It felt like a thin thread was strangling her neck.

The bodyguards in the corridor did not look her way at all because the door was locked.Yvette’s hope
vanished.Lex rubbed his chin and approached her slowly.He raised his eyebrows and sized up Yvette
in her disguise with a lecherous gaze.

"Ms.Quimbey, you look very inviting wearing this waiter’s uniform.Too bad the boss can’t appreciate
it..."иσνєℓєвσσк.¢σм Yvette’ expression changed dramatically, and she tried to keep calm.

"You know that I’m Sean’s woman, so will you dare to touch me? What? Do you want to kill me? Aren’t
you afraid that Sean will avenge me?"

Lex’s eyes turned cold when he heard this.He raised his head and laughed.

"Avenge you? You think too highly of yourself.The boss just wanted to use you, that’s why he abducted
you.Did you really think that he likes you?" Yvette’s eyes narrowed.

Her heart clenched, and she deliberately said, "What do you mean? He kicked you and Melissa out
because of me.Doesn’t that mean he cares for me?"

Lex licked his lips and smiled helplessly.



"Ms.Quimbey, I'll tell you the truth.The boss didn’t bring you here because he has feelings for you.He
just wants to lure out the big boss who’s behind the old master.Our boss speculates that it’s either
Ferguson Corporation or Stanton Corporation.With you in hand, our boss can directly negotiate with the
old master’s backer.You’re nothing but a hostage."

Yvette’s heart seemed to be quenched in ice.She felt frozen.Her shocked face turned pale, but she still
kept calm.

"Ferguson Corporation has nothing to do with me, and I don’t have many dealings with Stanton
Corporation, so why me?"

After all, Quimbey Corporation was nothing compared to the two corporations.However, Quimbey
Corporation was better than most companies.

Yvette knew that most of her mother’s business was overseas and did not focus on Atlanta.

Moreover, how could Stanton Corporation be the old master's backer? Yvette knew all too well that
Nicole did not want to be involved in this kind of shady business.As for Eric Ferguson, Yvette was not
sure.

Even if it was really Eric, Yvette was not at all related to him, so why would he save her? No matter
what, Yvette felt aggrieved.

Lex raised his eyebrows and smiled coldly.

"That’s because the boss doesn't want to make things ugly with the old master’s backer.He’s just
testing the waters, so he won’t choose someone who has a direct connection with the old master’s
backer.Instead, someone like you who’s slightly related but not that close will be the better choice."



Lex smiled contemptuously and laughed at her over-confidence.Seeing that Yvette’s face gradually
turned pale as if she suffered a blow, Lex felt a great sense of achievement.

There were many rich ladies who spend a lot of money in this kind of nightclub.However, none of them
would look him in the eye.

What gave them the right to ignore him? Lex hated their aloof attitude.Thus, he wanted to ruthlessly
humiliate a rich lady like Yvette and stomp all over her.

That way, they would not underestimate him.

"So, there’s no birthday celebration on the 26th floor, right?"

Yvette’s tone was cold and stern.She already knew the answer, but she wanted to make it clear.

Lex raised his eyebrows.

"Of course there isn’t.It’s all made up to fool you.I didn’t expect you to believe it.You don’t even know
when Chairman Stanton’s birthday is? You really deserve to be fooled!"

Yvette’s nervous palms were sweaty.

For a while, my mind was blank, and she felt like her lungs were stuffed with cotton.She could not
breathe at all.

Disappointment and despair overwhelmed her.She already had it hard enough.

Lex’s words were a wakeup call.

Besides the fact that she deserved to be fooled because she did not know Floyd Stanton’s birthday,
she was also stunned by Sean’s purpose.



Sean did not want to get back together with her but wanted the interests related to her.

In other words, it was not out of kindness that the old master asked Sean to let her go.It was because
someone asked him to.

Yvette’s mind spun quickly and suddenly became clear.

Sean used her as bait in order to attract the big fish behind the old master.

Then, he pretended to be hung up on her just to fool her.

Yvette really believed him and thought that Sean was a sentimental lunatic.She did not expect that he
was still the same egotistical opportunist as before.

The two of them deceived and schemed against one other in the name of love.

Sean only brought Yvette to meet the old master to let certain people know that she was in his hands.

Yvette’s heart stiffened.

Lex sized up her beautiful face and figure, as well as her always arrogant gaze and temperament.

The lust in his heart spread wildly like weeds.He had to admit that since the first time he laid eyes on
her, he was deeply attracted to this woman.She had the kind of charm that made countless men
surrender.

It made him feel inferior.However, his heart itched for her.

‘She’s just a woman"

Lex comforted himself.



After Sean kicked Lex out of the villa and made him work at the nightclub, countless people thought
that he was abandoned by Sean.

Lex used to be Sean’s confidant, but he was now just a bouncer at the nightclub.That was definitely a
big gap.

If it were not for Yvette, Lex would not have ended up here.

Yvette’s expression changed when she saw Lex suddenly take a step forward.She suddenly banged
the door as she tried to get someone on the other side of the door to rescue her.

It was ridiculous, but that was all she could do at the moment.

In the next second, Lex covered her mouth from behind and said in her ear, "It’s useless.The boss
won’t save you even if he comes over.That’s because you wanted to escape on your own."
