Yvette did not refuse. She was now at an impasse with Lance not because of Whitney. It was because of the Cali business trip. However, Lance liked to mix up the two matters.

Lance's office.

Lance sat on the sofa and pointed to the opposite side, looking like he was ready to negotiate.

"Let's sit and talk."

Yvette sat there, but she did not start the conversation.

The assistant outside sensed a cold tension between Lance and Yvette. Out of curiosity, the assistant brazenly went into the office

to deliver coffee.

The originally calm Lance suddenly had bloodshot eyes. He coldly yelled, "Get out!"

The assistant was so scared that he left in a hurry.

Yvette looked at Lance, who rarely loses his temper, and suddenly laughed.

Lance looked at her coldly.

"What are you laughing at?"

Yvette said, "You wanted to yell at me instead, right?"

Lance wrinkled his eyebrows. Yvette did not give him a chance to speak.

"I really want to go, and it's not because I'm mad at you. I want to try it out myself to see how far I can go without you guys' protection."

Lance was silent for a moment. He raised his eyes to look at her.

"You can go elsewhere and manage other projects. Just take your pick. Do you think that Cali is a joke? Don't you know how dangerous it is there?!" Yvette pursed her lips and looked at him with arched eyebrows, which made Lance's words stuck in his throat.

Lance rubbed his forehead and took a deep breath.

"Are you still blaming me? If I'd known that she was that kind of person, I'd never have let her appear in front of us. I really..."

Seeing Lance's helpless and pained look, Yvette stepped forward and gently hugged him.

Lance was stunned but he quickly reached out to pull her into his arms and held her tighter.

"Yvette, if you blame me for that, go ahead and hit me or scold me. Just don't say that you're leaving. Just be frank with me if I'm at fault, okay?" His voice was hoarse and helpless.

Lance sounded like he was truly afraid of losing Yvette.

He could clearly feel the change in Yvette in just two days.

This made him panic. He felt lost;h$=VIV? afraid, and he did not know what to do.

He had never felt like this before.

Yvette patted his shoulder. Her voice was very soft.

"Actually, you didn't do anything wrong. You're just unlucky. I was initially quite angry when I heard your conversation with her in the stairway." Lance paused and slowly let go of Yvette." You heard it? You left before the conversation ended?"

Yvette nodded.

Sure enough, if Yvette had listened to the whole conversation, she would not be so angry.

However, who could be blamed for that?

Should Lance get blamed for being too merciful?

Or should they blame Whitney for setting traps at every turn?

Lance recalled what happened. Before he took a stand, the conversation between him and Whitney was about Whitney badmouthing Yvette.

He did not think too much about it at the time. Whitney's return was too unexpected, and Whitney accused Fiona of wrongdoing, so Lance's mind was in a mess. He just wanted to compensate Whitney and send her off.

Now that he thought about it, Yvette listened to the conversation between him and Whitney and heard how Whitney demeaned her.

Yet he, as her husband, did not cut Whitney off and correct it in time. He did not take a stand for Yvette at once.

Then Yvette, who was standing outside, would be more disappointed with him, right?

At that time, how could he still expect her to listen to the whole conversation and wait for him to defend her?

When Lance thought of this, his chest suddenly felt stuffy. The feeling of remorse surged up in an instant.

Yvette just let out a light laugh. Her voice was dull and light.

"But it doesn't matter now. She's right. She didn't add any frills to my past either. But to this day, I don't feel guilty for what I've done." Lance pursed his lips. His throat was dry.

"I don't mind your past."
