Chapter 186 Make a Deal

Yvonne continued, “I’m not acting. If I hadn’t done this, I wouldn’t have been able to see you

at all.”

“Now that you’ve seen me, what difference does it make? Are you still acting in front of me?” Benjamin asked callously. There was a hint of contempt in his eyes,

If it hadn’t been for Yvonne, he and Grace would never have reached this stage.

Yvonne burst into tears. She reached out to pull on Benjamin’s arm, but he shook her off.

Yvonne couldn’t help but laugh bitterly. “What, I’m not even allowed to touch you? But… don’t forget that you Hawkins will always owe my family! It’s a de that you will owe us

forever.”

Benjamin clenched his fists soundlessly.

This was the issue.

He had no way to refute her.

Yvonne had always used this against him, leaving him no choice but to concede to her.

“If you say something too many times, it will lose its power,” Benjamin said coldly, a hint of warning in his tone.

Yvonne said recklessly, “Then, I think that this is the last time I’ll say this. Benjamin, let’s

make a deal.”

She lowered her voice so that only Benjamin could hear her. “I know that you don’t want to owe my family anymore. Then let’s just settle it once and for a NôvelDrama.Org owns this.

“Get me out of here. I don’t want to be in jail any longer. If you give me back my life, then our

families will be even.”

Her condition was tempting.

“Benjamin, you can consider this carefully. This is just a small thing for you and your family. You just need to find an outstanding lawyer to overturn my ve

ahead of time.”

“Hmph! Let you out so that you can continue to do those despicable things?” Benjamin felt

that it was ironic.

Yvonne shook her head. “No. I just want to live a good life. When I get out, I’ll leave Pamore and start afresh. I’ll never show up in front of you again. I’ll e just begging you to leave me a way out.”

At the mention of Grace, Benjamin’s expression changed slightly. When he looked back on it, he realized that he and Grace had had a lot of misunderstandings because of Yvonne.

If it hadn’t been for Yvonne, perhaps they might still have a chance…

Enunciating each word, he said coldly, “It’s impossible.”

His answer was direct, leaving no room for doubt.

However, Yvonne laughed, as if she wasn’t taking him seriously.

“Don’t be in such a rush, Benjamin! It won’t hurt to consider it properly. After all, you wouldn’t want to have that obligation to the Quines hanging over you

It was the same statement again. It was the same reason.

He had heard it so much that he was already sick of it.

Benjamin pinched her chin roughly, no holding back at all.

“I’m telling you now. Stop dreaming. If you feel that ten years in jail isn’t enough, then I’ll

find someone to collect more evidence. That will raise the stakes for you.

“You can rot in jail for the rest of your life.”

After he finished speaking, Benjamin let go of her and wiped his hands vigorously, as if Yvonne were something d*rty.

Yvonne’s face contorted in anger.

She lunged at him suddenly and grabbed him. “Benjamin, are you really going to be that heartless? All those years we had together, and I still can’t compare to Grace?”

She had a crazed look in her eyes.

“Have you forgotten what you said to me? Or has that woman bewitched you somehow to make you so unfeeling?”

“I’m telling you, you just wait until I get out! I’ll tear her limb from limb!” she shrieked.
