My Billionaire Mom
Chapter 423

Kneel before him?

Patricia couldn't bear to do it but she knew that if she didn't, her family would suffer. Landon was mad!

Landon's behavior was putting a lot of pressure on her. She felt like her heart was about to give out. Tears brimmed around her eyes as she felt a deep sense of shame pierce her gut.

The Allen family was too powerful. She could do nothing but yield now.

"Smack!"

Landon slapped Patricia hard in the face again.

This slap was very heavy. With a pained yelp, she was instantly rendered unconscious.

"How weak! She can't even take a few slaps!" Landon said and spat on Patricia's body.

"Hey, Gorgeous, are you going to kneel or not? Come on," he prompted her unconscious body, kicking her a few times but did not receive any responses. Letting out a filthy smile, he stepped on Patricia's belly while looking up at Yvette with a smile.

It was quite literally a smile from the Devil. It could chill hearts.

Yvette merely gazed coldly at him.

To be honest, she really wanted to retaliate. She had been slapped after all but she couldn't because Patricia had told her not to. She was her employer, so Yvette had to heed to her demands.

"Cutie, you have to understand who you're standing in front of. As a young master of the Allen family, I order you to kneel before me. Do it! I'm giving you a chance to redeem yourself," Landon said as he stepped away from Patricia's belly and limped towards Yvette.

"So, you've decided not to? Well, aren't you bold! You really are the most beautiful woman I've ever seen. Come with me and we'll trample the other families across the country together. It'll be fun," he tried to bribe.

Yvette stared at him mutely. Instead of replying, she crouched down to help Patricia up, carrying her unconscious body.

"Hey! I haven't finished with you! How dare you leave?" Landon cackled and got in Yvette's way.

"Move!" she demanded indifferently.

"My, my. You're really bold for a woman, aren't you? Did it hurt when I slapped you just now?" He burst out in laughter. Then, he raised his hand again, ready to give her another slap. Unlike before, Patricia did not hold onto Yvette's hands this time. She could defend herself and so, she grabbed Landon's hand just before it landed on her.

Having improved in combat, her strength had grown as well. A man like Landon who didn't do much exercise wasn't strong enough to fight Yvette.

Landon was pushed backward and fell to the ground, chuckling as he said, "How very interesting."

It was the first time Landon had met a woman like Yvette. Just now, he had managed to slap her twice which made him really happy. But how dare she resist him this time? After that, Yvette simply walked out with Patricia in her arms.

"You'll regret this. Let me tell you, I'll make you kneel in front of me eventually!" Landon chuckled as he shouted after her. Then, he took out his phone and made a call. Eventually, someone picked up.

"Follow Patricia and the woman she came here with. Capture them and bring them to me!" he ordered.

After hanging up the phone, Landon lay on the bed with a twisted smile. Chuck had humiliated him, so he had to replace another way to make himself feel better. Yvette would be that for him. Yvette held Patricia in her arms and walked out of the hospital. Right as they were both settled in the car, Yvette decided to wake her up.

Patricia started to struggle in panic upon waking.

"It's me," Yvette reassured her.

Patricia was taken aback by that and hurriedly checked herself over. She was in one piece but there were footprints on her belly and even saliva.

She burst into tears not a moment later.

What kind of torture had she suffered just now?

"Did you do anything to Landon?" Patricia cried as she asked.

Yvette shook her head and answered, "Nothing."

"Then how did you manage to bring me out?" Patricia wondered out loud.

"I just pushed him out of the way and opened the door myself. Then I carried you out," Yvette pointed out.

Patricia was panicked by the thought of Yvette pushing Landon over. Had he gotten seriously hurt?

"It wasn't that serious. I wouldn't have been able to carry you out of there if it were," Yvette said as if reading her mind.

Patricia panicked and said, "No, that doesn't sound good. I have to go and replace Mr. Cannon now."

Thus, she drove hastily to Nine Days Hotel along with Yvette. She didn't know if Chuck was still there. So after she had arrived, she turned to Yvette and said, "You wait here. I'll go see Mr. Cannon myself." "No problem," Yvette replied. She felt that this place was relatively safe.

Patricia got out of her car and started to walk towards the front desk. However, the front desk told her that Chuck was no longer at the hotel.

A chill ran down her spine at that news. She called Chuck in a hurry.

The phone rang for a long time before it got through. "What's the matter?" the voice on the other end muttered.

It was in the middle of the night, so Chuck must have been asleep.

"Mr. Cannon, please help me. I've just offended Landon." It was the first time for Patricia to feel so panicked. She couldn't imagine what Landon was going to do to her next.

"What's your reason? Let me hear it," Chuck said indifferently.

"I, I..." Patricia stuttered out.

"If you don't have one, stop bothering me!" Chuck yelled furiously. It was in the middle of the night! How could she disrupt his sleep like this?

"Wait! Mr. Cannon, other than sleeping with you, you can make me do whatever you want," Patricia pleaded with tears streaming down her face. "What? Sleeping with me?"

"Mr. Cannon, you kept asking for a reason but I really don't have one! Did you really want to..." Patricia's heart stopped as she trailed off. Men were all the same! They only had one thing on their minds! They only wanted her body. They were all perverts!

"I think you've misunderstood. I've never mentioned anything of the sort. You think too highly of yourself," Chuck spoke truthfully. Patricia was alluring and had a good body, but he did not see her that way. Chuck didn't know much about her, but he was sure that he did not harbor any romantic feelings or desire towards her.

"I..." Patricia was rendered speechless. Her face burning with embarrassment.

"You're not giving me much to work with here, so I'm just going to..." Chuck was ready to hang up the phone now.

"Wait! I'm sorry, Mr. Cannon. I misunderstood you just now. Just please, why don't you tell me what I can help you with in return? I promise I'll do it!" Patricia bit her lip nervously as she proposed. However, she had felt at ease anyway. At least, her chastity had been protected.

Meanwhile, Yvette waited in the car. She felt a bit bored so she decided to roll down the window to get some fresh air.

She rubbed at her face and felt a little pain on her cheeks where she had been slapped. This job was getting complicated. She sighed, deciding to endure it for now. Otherwise, if she failed this job, she would be taking a step back from her initial goal. She couldn't let that happen.

"Teacher Jordan, why are you here?" a surprised voice asked out of nowhere.

Yvette looked up and found an attractive woman in professional wear walking over. It was Yolanda, the former campus belle.

When Yolanda had gone out earlier to buy herself a midnight snack and had seen Yvette, she thought she was mistaken. The woman in the car was wearing a baseball cap but her side profile was a dead giveaway. She decided to take a closer look anyway and came over. She didn't expect to meet her former teacher here.

"Yolanda," Yvette greeted her in surprise as she got out of the car.

"Oh, it really is you! Teacher Jordan, I haven't seen you in a long time," Yolanda gushed, delighted. She had come over to run this hotel without knowing anyone here. No one was available to talk to her, and it was getting boring.

"Long time no see. Though. I'm not a teacher anymore," Yvette shook her head as she informed her. She was now an assassin, but she did not divulge that information. If she did, Yolanda would definitely be frightened.

Was Yolanda here with her boyfriend?

Yvette knew that it was uncouth to ask about such matters so she didn't bring it up.

"Oh. Well, what are you doing here? Are you waiting for Chuck? He's already gone back," Yolanda said while smiling faintly. She didn't know the news of Chuck having bought the hotel had spread so fast.

"My husband? What? Did he just come here?" Yvette was astounded by that information. What was he doing at a hotel anyway?

Was he with Yolanda? No, that was impossible. She shouldn't be thinking like that.

Yolanda was the manager of Chuck's plaza. She knew he wouldn't mess around with his employee.

"Yeah, he was here," Yolanda replied, still smiling.

"What was he doing here?" Yvette asked nervously.

"Teacher Jordan, don't you know?"

"Know what?" Yvette asked back.

"Oh, it seems that you really don't know. Teacher Jordan, please don't misunderstand. Chuck only came by here for work," Yolanda clarified. She thought this was strange. If Yvette didn't know that Chuck had bought the hotel, why did she show up here?

Then, she noticed the car beside them looked very familiar.

It was Patricia's! When Patricia had come to replace Chuck just now, Yolanda clearly saw her driving the same car. It was definitely hers.

However, since when did Yvette and Patricia become friends? Yolanda couldn't figure it out, it made no sense!

Yvette's current get-up was a baseball cap and some makeup. What on earth was she up to?

"Work? What work?" Yvette asked.

"I guess Chuck hasn't told you that he bought this hotel. He's the boss now, you know. So, of course, he has to come here to have a look," Yolanda explained with a grin. "What? He owns this hotel?" Yvette gasped out in shock.
