Chapter 149
Moss spoke respectfully, his voice tinged with a hint of fear at the thought of Yvonne being locked in a hidden room.
But it was all Miss Yvonne’s own doing. Why did she have to provoke Mr. Connor’s beloved?
“Head to the Brimer residence.”
“Okay”
In the Brimer residence, it was utter chaos.
Early this moming, Connor’s bodyguard came over and took Wonne away. When she was returned at noon, she was covered in injuries, as if she had been bitten by something.
The Brimer elders were frantic, immediately summoning the family doctor.
After examining Yvonne, the doctor couldn’t help but gasp. “Miss Yvonne seems to have been bitten by snakes. Thankfully, the snakes were non–venomous. She’s only suffered some superficial injuries and should recover well with some rest.”
The extent of the injuries implied there had been at least a dozen or twenty snakes. Just the thought made everyone shiver
The Brimer elders were in tears, heartbroken.
“Connor!” Wade slammed his fist on the table in anger. Connor had clearly shown no regard for the Brimer family. “Dad, we can’t let this go. Connor may be powerful, but we can’t let him walk all over us.”
“Connor has gone too far. Look at what he’s done to our daughter” Melinda was also enraged.
When she saw her daughter in such a state, she had half a mind to flay Connor alive
Aisha stood quietly to the side. Seeing Yvonne in such pain pained her too, but she knew Connor wasn’t one to act rashly without reason. Yvonne must have done something to cross his line.
Paul’s hands, resting on his hips due to his anger and restraint, were pale and clenched. His eyes, behind his reading glasses, were full of fury and resentment
“Sir, Madam, Mr. Connor has arrived.” At that moment, a servant hurried in.
“Let him in.”
Paul wanted to see how Connor would explain himself.
As soon as Paul finished speaking, Connor strode in. With his arrival, the spacious room suddenly felt cramped. Connor’s icy demeanor seemed to lower the temperature of the room.
Paul waited for Connor to speak, but Connor just sat down without saying a word.
He had no choice but to speak first, his voice dark with anger, “Connor, you’ve hurt my daughter like this. Don’t you have anything to say?”
“Yvonne tried to frame my fiancée not once, but multiple times. This was merely a small punishment”
“How could you be so cruel to Yvonne? She grew up with you!” Melinda shouted. “Yes, she did wrong, but your fiancée wasn’t really hurt, was she? Yet, you were cruel enough to throw Yvonne into a pit of snakes. She’s now covered in bites.”
Yvonne was terrified of snakes. And Connor had thrown her into a pit of them. Just the thought made Melinda’s heart bleed.
“Then you should probably discipline your daughter better. If there’s a next time, what you see won’t be an unharmed Yvonne.”
“Connor, do you really think too highly of yourself?” Wade gritted his teeth, his eyes blazing with rage. “Do you think you can really treat the Brimer family’s people with such impunity?“
