Secretary’s Secret Lover by Zayla Quinn

Chapter 308 The Harsh Way

Juliette’s resentment could be heard from these words.

She had suffered so much over the years. Why?

She was quite a good woman with a good background. She could have married a man with a similar

background to her.

However, she never clarified the rumors all these years. The rumors said that she was Lance’s fiancée.

She did all this to get Lance.

His identity and status were not that important to her.

She just found nobody else in the world would love him more than she did.

Lance raised his eyes and looked at Juliette, but the words he said were cold and ruthless.

“Since I have decided to chase Yvette back, I will go to my mother and make it clear to her. If you don’t

want to tell your parents, I will help you tell them the truth. I will take all the blame to ensure that your

reputation won’t be affected.”

He sounded so direct and merciless.

The pain in Juliette’s heart was as much as the pride in her heart just now.

Lance was telling her clearly that she didn’t need her to act along with him anymore.

Back then, she planned all this herself without getting Lance’s agreement.

But Lance didn’t pay attention to news related to this before, so he only knew about it after the gossip

spread out.

Lance had clarified once. But the media thought that Lance just didn’t want to make their relationship

public. Nobody believed

that they were not a couple.

Later, she asked Lance for help, saying that she didn’t want to get married too early. With her as his

rumored fiancée, Tanya wouldn’t urge him to get married either.

Juliette felt dizzy at this time and could not stand up. She made a lot of effort to restrain her emotions..

She was very smart and would not pester him. She quickly recovered her usual smile and said gently,

“Okay, you made the call.”

Lance was expressionless and nodded.

When he was about to leave, Juliette followed him.

When they almost got close to the car, Lance saw Juliette behind him. He stopped and said, “I asked

Frankie to get you a car.”

Juliette’s face turned pale again.

In the past, they had been in and out together several times. Frankie always drove. And she usually sat

in the passenger seat.

But the media didn’t think so. They fantasized about their relationship and wrote gossip about them

being a beloved couple.

Now, she was not allowed to sit in the car.

Juliette looked at him. She couldn’t accept these blows.

“Lance, are you sure you want to do this to me?”

She was a little angry, and her voice was choked.

Lance couldn’t help but look up at her. His probing gaze was suspicious and fierce.

Juliette suddenly woke up, swallowed her tears, and tried to make up. “I mean… We used to go out in

the same car for business. Others wouldn’t misunderstand our relationship.”

Lance said, “I don’t care what others think at all, but I am afraid that Yvette will misunderstand.”

Before Yvette came back, he never cared about the details.

The present was different from the past.

It was likely that Yvette wouldn’t misunderstand at all.

Yvette appeared that she didn’t care about him at all.

However, Lance still had to avoid misunderstanding. He did not want to repeat the same mistake he

made in his relationship with Yazmin in the past. He would totally stop the possibility for Yvette to

misunderstand.

He continued, “I will immediately ask the company to clarify the gossip again, You should cooperate

with them and make a clarifying statement too. In the future, let Frankie report to me about the project.

You don’t have to do it yourself.”

Juliette was already speechless. She spent a lot of effort controlling her emotions and put on a fake

smile again.

“I understand. I will be careful in the future.

“However, Lance, my father has not been in good health recently. Can we clarify later? Let’s make

statements when he gets better.”

Seeing that Lance pursed his lips, Juliette hurriedly explained, “It should not be too long. Just half a

month? Daily new chapters upload Only On Novelsreads(dot)com I have made statements before, and

I have never admitted that I have a relationship with you. My father is getting older. Can you help me

this time?”

The Beckford family was the only partner who had not betrayed Lance and had always supported him.

Lance was reasonable. He nodded and got into the car.

Juliette also got into the car arranged by Frankie. When the two cars passed by each other, Juliette

could see his handsome face

from the car window that hadn’t been closed.

Even though the light was dim, it could not hide his excessively handsome face.

Juliette clenched her fists so tightly that blood was about to come out.

Her eyes were glowing as she suddenly thought of the two sneaky people she saw at the door of the

bathroom.

It seemed that there was no need for her to do anything. There were idiots rushing to deal with Yvette.

She slowly loosened her hands and relaxed against the backseat.

The street lights shone on her gentle face. At this moment, no gentleness could be seen there.

She had loved Lance for so many years, and no one could steal him!

Inside the car.

Frankie looked at the back seat and asked, “Mr. Wolseley, where are you going?”

Lance pinched his eyebrows tiredly and said lightly, “Wait first.”

Who was he waiting for? Of course, he was waiting for Yvette who had not come out yet.

Frankie could tell that Lance was tired. Lance had been busy for a long time. He might not be able to

hold on any longer.

Frankie asked, “Maybe I should send you back to rest first. I will stay here to wait.”

“No need.”

Lance looked into the door, then looked at the time. He thought that the banquet in Yvette’s private

room should be over too.

He said to Frankie with worry, “Go in and see what’s going on. If someone tries to make things difficult

for her, help her.”

Frankie nodded and got out of the car.

In the private room.

Yvette’s mouth was dry and she drank the warm water in the glass.

Before she came, she had explained that she drove here on her own, so she couldn’t drink.

In fact, it was just an excuse. She was not good at drinking and would never drink without someone

she trusted.

Everyone was in high spirits at the dinner party. Pearce had been playing the game of lucky draws with

everyone.

Yvette did not want to leave early to ruin everyone’s mood..

She just sat there and her head began to feel dizzy. Saliva came out of her mouth, and her heart began

to beat fast.

She got up and wanted to leave first, but just as she stood up, her body swayed, and her forehead was

covered in sweat.

Pearce quickly invited the waiter over and helped Yvette into the lounge to rest.

Yvette entered the lounge and sat for a while. Her headache and panic became even more intense.

She felt that something was wrong and wanted to call her brother.

Only then did she realize that she had not brought her phone in and might have forgotten it on the

table.

Yvette forced herself to get up and wanted to find the waiter to take back her phone. Before she took

two steps, the door was pushed open with a creak.

It was Pearce who came in. Seeing her stand up, he hurriedly stepped forward and said with a

frightened face, “Ms. Thiel,

what’s wrong with you?”

Yvette’s mind was dizzy. She felt hot. And she couldn’t concentrate.

She said, “Mr. Horton, can you please help me get my phone?”

Pearce took out a rose–gold folded phone and asked, “Ms. Thiel, is this your phone?”

Yvette’s vision was blurry. She felt that Pearce had turned into two people. Even the phone in her hand

had turned into two phones.

She managed to say, “It’s mine. Please give it to me.”

Pearce kindly gave it to her. But when Yvette was about to get it, he loosened his hands..

Slap!

The phone fell to the ground.

Pearce smiled. “Oh, I’m so sorry. Your phone broke.”

Yvette bent down to pick up the phone and found that the phone couldn’t be turned on.

She began to doubt it.

The ground in the hotels was covered with carpets. How could her phone break so easily?

Moreover, her situation was not right. She felt hot and aroused.

As she lowered her eyes, she saw that Pearce’s leather shoes were approaching. She got intense

again.

She bit the tip of her tongue and pinched her palm hard. She suddenly stood up.

“Mr. Horton, I’m almost done resting. I can go now.”

Pearce froze. When he saw that Yvette looked normal, he got suspicious.

Could it be that the drug was useless?

Yvette smiled at Pearce. “Mr. Horton, let’s leave together.”

Pearce was shocked by her.

If she wasn’t drugged, then things would be a little troublesome.

If she was drugged, he could say that she seduced him. Her mind wasn’t clear anyway.

If she wasn’t drugged, his action would be seen as rape. That was bad.

He smiled embarrassedly, “I’ll take a break. You go first.”

“Okay, then I’ll go first, Mr. Horton.”

Yvette suppressed her frantic heartbeat and tried to keep her pace steady.

Just as she was about to pull the door handle, a gloomy voice suddenly came from behind her.

“Stop!”

Yvette panicked and heard the sound of footsteps approaching.

“Ms. Thiel, I see that your arm is shaking. What’s going on?”

Pearce’s voice was getting closer and closer. He couldn’t hide his excitement.

“Ms. Thiel, I can treat you. I learned massage before.”

Instantly!

Yvette’s forehead was covered in sweat.

Her disguise was seen through.

When the evil hand was about to touch Yvette’s shoulder…

She jerked back and threw the phone at Pearce’s head with all her strength.

“Ah!”

There was a scream.

Yvette pulled the door handle like crazy.

She couldn’t open the door.

Then, one of her feet was held by Pearce. Pearce dragged her foot fiercely.

Bang!

She fell to the ground.

Above her was Pearce’s sinister laughter.

“Little slut, you dare to trick me? Then I will do it the harsh way.“
