    Chapter 556


    Just as Larissa opened the report, her assistant rushed in anxiously to say. “There’s an argument going


    on between Yvette and someone at the elevator!”


    She knew well how difficult and unpleasant vette could be, and how harsh her words could sound.


    Things never turned out well whenever she got into an argument with someone.


    She immediately dropped her mouse and hurriedly made her way toward the elevator. Little did she


    know that even from a distance, she could hear the words Yvelle shouted.


    She froze in her tracks. She could clearly see the men standing alongside Yvette. Thether she had


    thought about and longed for all these years hac appeared before her in this manner, Despite being


    familiar enough with Gary to confide in him, she felt timid and couldn’t bring hersell to take another step


    closer at this moment.


    The three individuals standing at the elevator entrance hadn’t noticed her yet. Even though Gary was


    slightly shorter than Yvette in high heels, he still exuded an intimidating presence that overshadowed


    her,

    He sneered, “Yvette. Il anyone deserves to die, it’s you.”


    His current appearance felt foreign and unfamiliar to Yvette. In her memory. Gary was nothing more


    than an obsequicus and subservient pushover. The reason she had chosen to marry him was because


    he was the most obedient among the ordinary men she knew. She couldn’t ept his mockery, let


    alone the fact that her former “sve had transformed into a lofty CFO, tra mpling her underfoot..


    Immediately, a surge of pent-up anger and frustration overwhelmed her. Without thinking, she raised


    her hand to p Gary’sce, just like how she would react every time he had infuriated her in the past.


    However, this time, belcre her hand could reach its target it was intercepted by someone.


    The towering man beside Gary grasped her wrist with a force that could easily snap her bones, his


    expression darkened in anger.


    “Aaaaahhhhh-Yvette screamed in pain. Her once delicate face contorted into an ugly and fierce


    expression.


    Gary shook his head, and instantly, Lewis understood Gary’s gesture and loosened his grip, although


    hisce still held a lingering resentment. Of course, Gary knew that Lewis was standing up for him. But


    Gary had a near-death experience once and was lucky to be able to reim his l’e. so he had long let


    go of the past. He had never held any grudge against Yvette: he knew that she didn’t love him and only


    married him to find someone to fill her lile. He willingly epted it because he loved her.


    However, he couldn’t forgive what she had done toward Larissa. No matter how much she disliked or


    despised him, she should have never taken it out on Larissa. After all, Larissa was her biological


    daughter.


    Let’s co


    go.” he said to Lewis.


    “Don’t you daree find Larissa from now on,” he warned Yvette. “Otherwise, be prepared for


    repared for Xavier to go bankrupt and your whole family to end up on the streets.” He then turned and


    left without even looking in her d reclior.


    Larissa finally regained her senses from the tremendous shock. She turned around and ran toward her


    office as il fleeing from a terrifying monster. She ignored the curious gazes of those around her and


    managed to slip into her office before Gary could notice her. She sank into her chair feeling exhausted,


    her mind nk,


    The report she had previously opened remained untouched on the desk. She gathered her thoughts


    and tried to locus on work, but she couldn’t read a single word even after a long while.


    There was a knock on the door. Her assistant entered and reported, “Mr. Logan is here.”


    She was taken aback, and her hands trembled. She identally knocked the mouse onto the floor,


    making a sound.


    The assistant shrunk slightly as he asked, “Should I let him in?”
