Secretary’s Secret Lover by Zayla Quinn

Chapter 273 The Child Is Not Mine

The familiar remarks amused Yvette, but she held back her laughers.

Lance stared at her and said, “Yazmin is not pregnant with my child.”

Yvette sneered, “Lance, do I look stupid? If the child is not yours, why do you still keep her by your

side?”

“I did take her out, but not out of pity or sympathy. There is a reason why I must do it.”

Lance didn’t disclose what the reason was. He paused and said, “One day, I will tell you everything, but

not now.”

Yvette felt nothing hearing his speech. She even wanted to laugh.

He didn’t even bother himself to make up a convincing excuse.

Indeed, she didn’t deserve him to do so.

Yvette’s silence made Lance panic. He held her hand and said, “I won’t divorce you. Stop thinking

about leaving me, okay?”

These days, he was afraid that he would lose of control his emotions if he went home, so he stayed at

the company to sleep.

When he could not sleep at night, he found that he could not accept it if Yvette left him.

And that day, he lost his mind because she wanted to leave secretly.

After thinking for a long time, he decided to accept the child in Yvette’s belly. Since he couldn’t bear to

let go, he would accept

it all.

Moreover, he still had some expectations in his heart. Perhaps this child was his.

After all, he had slept with Yazmin several times a while ago.

He couldn’t just listen to Charlie’s one–sided words. That man was sinister and cunning.

He decided that regardless of whether the baby was his or not, he would accept it. He would coax

Yvette to let go of the past, hoping that she would tell him about the child herself.

Yvette was pissed off when she heard this. She snapped, “Lance, have you been lying to me all this

time?”

She thought, the damned consensual marriage he proposed is just a disguise. He just wanted to lock

me up.

Lance said frankly, “I didn’t lie to you. I admit that I was selfish when I remarried you. Even if my

grandfather hadn’t fallen ill,

I would still want to get married to you. So, you can be with me. Don’t think about anything else. I won’t

let you go.”

Yvette became numb when she heard this.

She knew that if she was agitated, Lance would lock her up again and watch her more closely.

Yvette smiled bitterly and said lightly, “Alright, send me to Ellen’s place for now.”

Yvette’s reaction stunned Lance. He met her gaze and asked again, “Yvette, what did you just say?”

Yvette had a faint smile on her face as she said in a low voice, “I won’t leave.”

“Yve…”

Lance raised his hand and held her tightly in his arms. He was overjoyed, regaining what he had lost.

“Yve, you must believe me in the matter of Yazmin. I won’t lie to you.”

Yvette looked out of the window with empty eyes and said gently, “I believe you.”

However, at the bottom of her heart, she was thinking of something else..

She said in her heart, Lance, just now was the last second i believed in you.

The Yvette who always chose to believe you no longer exists.

Lance felt that something was wrong. Yvette’s change came so easily, and it was hard for him to

believe.

Yvette asked in a low voice, her throat tight, “Can you send me to see Ellen as soon as possible?”

Thinking of what had happened to the Robbins family, Lance frowned and drove Yvette to the memorial

hall.

When Yvette arrived, Ellen was kneeling on the side of the mourning hall, soulless, amid the guests to

and fro.

Jamie was also there, but he was outside, far away from the main hall.

If Ellen saw him, she would get emotional and lose control, so he was afraid of making her mad.

When they arrived, Lance and Jamie talked. Yvette went in without even looking at Jamie.

After she paid her tribute, she went to Ellen and knelt beside her.

“Ellen…”

As soon as Yvette opened her mouth, she burst into tears and could only hug Ellen tightly.

The voice of her best friend touched Ellen’s numb heart.

Finally, she couldn’t hold it anymore and cried in Yvette’s arms.

The two of them burst into tears as if no one else was around. It was really too depressing and painful.

After crying for a while, Yvette helped Ellen to the side hall to rest. Lance and Jamie did not follow.

At this time, they knew the two women should have a lot to say.

After entering the room, Yvette asked Ellen, “Why did your father commit suicide?”

Ellen said, “Because of what happened in the company…”

“What do you plan to do next?” Yvette asked.

Ellen shook her head. She had no idea. Her mother had fallen ill and the funeral was all on her.

Now that things had developed to this point, she was still unable to accept it..

She always felt that she was in her dreams. Perhaps when she woke up from her dreams, she would

find her father at home.

Their family of three was still as happy as before.

However, the wreaths and the coffin in the hall told her that it was impossible.

The two of them hugged each other and cried for a while.

When they were about to leave, Yvette asked Ellen, “Ellen, do you have your phone with you? I want

to make a call.”

Ellen handed the phone over without hesitation.

She didn’t expect that Yvette didn’t even have access to a phone. She assumed that Yvette’s life must

have been very hard

under Lance’s watch.

After Yvette left, Ellen continued to kneel in the hall.

When it was almost dark, another uninvited guest came to the mourning hall.

Fiona, who was wearing a black coat, sent a few wreaths. Jamie happened to go out to smoke and did

not see her.

Fiona went straight in and was just about to pay her tribute when she heard a roar.

“Get out!”

Although there were no other people in the mourning hall at this time, Fiona felt embarrassed being

driven like that.

Fiona said angrily, “Ellen, I came with good intentions. You are so ungrateful.”

Ellen stared at Fiona with red eyes and said angrily, “Don’t disturb my father’s peace.”

“Did you say peace?”

Fiona laughed and asked. “Do you think your father can really rest in peace?”

Ellen ignored her and said coldly, “Do you want to get out by yourself, or do you want the security

guards to drag you out?”

“Wow, that’s harsh.”

Fiona sneered, “Let me see who it is. It turns out that the eldest daughter of the Robbins family, which

has gone bankrupt, is threatening me. I am really scared!”

Ellen’s eyes were red, and she looked as if she wanted to tear this woman apart.

“Ellen, I am here to tell you a piece of good news.”

Without waiting for Ellen to speak, Fiona smiled and said, “Don’t you think it’s strange that your mother

doesn’t come when your father is dead?”

Ellen clenched her fists and asked warily, “What do you want to say?”

“Did others tell you that your mother was so aggrieved and she fell ill?”

Ellen stared at her, feeling uneasy, but she was not sure of what to expect.

Someone in the company told her that her mother was sick and was resting at home.

“What exactly do you want to say? Say it out all at once.”

“You are so impatient!”

Fiona said softly, “I went to the hospital today to visit someone, and I heard that your mother also

stayed in that hospital.”

She leaned closer and showed Ellen the video she had taken.

“Your mother fell down the stairs. There were too many blood clots in her brain. The doctor announced

that there was no point in saving her. She will never wake up again.”

It was like a thunderbolt out of a clear sky to Ellen!

She thought, wasn’t Mon sick and resting at home?

How could she lie in the hospital and never wake up again?

“Congratulations, you lost your parents in a day. How can I put it?”

Fiona used the gentlest voice to say the vilest thing.

“Good things come in pairs!”

Fiona was still speaking proudly, completely unaware of the change in Ellen’s expression.

“Your father’s contract was turned in by me personally. I didn’t expect that it would kill two people at

once. What a great deal! Unfortunately, I was late and didn’t see how your father looked after the fall.

It’s really a pity.”

In a split second.

Ellen’s eyes were bloodshot.

Her parents could have enjoyed their old ages in peace, but now they were separated forever.

However, the culprit was still kicking alive, mocking the deceased.

Ellen thought, the world is so unfair!

Since that’s the case, I won’t care about anything else. I will destroy her!

“You vile woman! You deserve to die!”

Ellen’s body burst out with unprecedented strength, and she ruthlessly pressed Fiona’s head into the

stove that was burning

hot!

The next second, the whole room was filled with deafening screams.

“Ah!”
