Chapter 210
Chapter 210
They couldn't extricate Joanna from his grip until the surrounding waiters came and stopped him.
When Joanna's face was freed from the table, her face was completely covered in blood, with glass
fragments piercing into it. It was a horrifying sight.
"911!"
"Call 911, now!"
Everything was in a mess.
Lorraine grabbed Yohan's wrist and said, "What's your name? Why did you hurt my sister? I'm going to
call the police!"
At this time, Yohan's eyes were extremely sinister and scary. Even if Lorraine had seen all kinds of
people, she was still shaken up when she saw Yohan's expression.
However, he hurt her sister to this extent, she couldn't just back off.
"She scolded my woman, so she deserved the blow! I was already lenient on her!"
Looking at Joanna being carried away by the others, Yohan still showed no remorse. He didn't feel like
his actions were too heavy-handed.
"Even if she went too far, this is still too much. I'll have you go to the police station with me today. If
necessary, I will find a lawyer and sue you!"
Lorraine was a returnee from abroad and she knew how to protect herself with the means of the law.
When Coralie heard this, she was concerned for Yohan. She immediately apologized to Lorraine,
"Lorraine, it's our fault. We will pay for the medical fees, or any other compensation..."
"A lawsuit huh? Alright, this is my lawyer's number. Go ahead and contact him if you need anything."
Yohan interrupted Coralie. He took out a business card from his suit and threw it on the table. Then he
placed a small stack of hundred dollar bills on the table and left with Coralie.
Coralie originally wanted to stay and talk to Lorraine, but Yohan was scarily strong. Coralie was almost
dragged away by him.
It was not until Yohan and Coralie left that Lorraine came to her senses.
She looked at Yohan's expression just now, and a word appeared in her mind --- psychopath.
Lorraine was almost sure that Yohan was mentally ill.
Yohan dragged Coralie out of the restaurant. After she got into the car, she said cautiously, "Thank you
for helping me just now. Actually, I could handle it myself. You were way too harsh just now."
Although she didn't like Joanna, she didn't loathe her to this degree.
Yohan's behavior just now had really terrified her.
Coralie had always had an impression of Yohan as an honest and lovely person. He had completely
gone against her expectation when he did that.
"She criticized you." Yohan looked at Coralie and said firmly, "You stood up for me when I was little.
Now that I am capable enough, I will see that all those who bully you will disappear."
He used the word 'disappear'.
Coupled with Yohan's behavior just now, Coralie felt a chill running down her spine. She tried not to
think too much. Instead, she patted Yohan and said, "You and I have grown up. I can protect myself.
Don't worry."
"No, I want to protect you." Yohan once again grabbed Coralie by her wrist and looked at her as he
said, "Corrie, terminate the pregnancy and be with me. I'll protect you and I won't let anyone bully you
anymore."
As he said this, he increased the strength he used to hold Coralie's wrist. In just a few seconds, Coralie
felt that her wrist was almost numb, as if it was going to be snapped into halves.
"Yonn, it hurts..."
Coralie frowned and her face turned pale.
Yohan realized that he was grabbing her a little too tightly, so he quickly let go of her hand, but he still
asked, "Corrie, can you think about what I've just said?"
As he spoke, his eyes were a little wide and his expression looked strange.
"Yonn, I have always regarded you as my childhood friend..." After Coralie finished the first half of her
sentence, she felt that Yohan's expression became even stranger and more frightening. She quickly
changed what she wanted to say, "You telling me this all of a sudden, I just have to think about it."
Coralie might have been too nervous when she said that, so she suddenly began to retch.
Yohan sat by the side, took out a piece of paper towel and handed it to Coralie. He frowned and said,
"If you terminate the pregnancy, you won't have to suffer anymore."
Although it was just a normal sentence and his expression had already returned to the usual, Coralie
still felt a little scared.
She lowered her head and did not even dare to say a word until Yohan sent her home.
She still had a lingering fear in her heart, and she couldn't help but think of the time when Hera said
that Yohan was a very complicated person.
......
When Lorraine sent Joanna to get treated in the hospital, she called Mateo Maxwell, the name of the
lawyer Yohan gave her.
After hearing what Lorraine had to say, Mateo told her he would come soon.
In less than an hour, a man in a black suit appeared in the hospital. At this time, Joanna's wound had
basically been treated.
The glass shards left on the table at that time were not too big. Although Joanna's face was largely
wounded, they were not very deep, so it wouldn't leave any scars. Even if they were any, they could be
covered by makeup.
Mateo came over but he didn't greet Lorraine first. Instead, he went directly to talk to the doctor.
After coming out, he said to Lorraine, "I've heard about the situation from the doctor. I suggest we settle
it privately."
As soon as Joanna came out, she began to curse Coralie and Yohan angrily. When she heard what
Mateo said, her fury escalated. "Why do we have to settle it? We want a lawsuit! I want all of them to
go to jail!"
When Joanna thought of the possibility of her being disfigured, her wrath had already been incurred.
She thought after Coralie lost her identity as Mrs. Holland, she would be nothing but an empty shell.
She didn't expect that there would be someone helping her even after Skylar left.
Mateo looked at Joanna. "If you want to settle it privately, we can pay you five hundred thousand
dollars, but if you insist on a lawsuit, we'll still welcome one."
"How much? Five hundred thousand dollars?"
Joanna was determined to bring the case to the court, but when she heard the amount of the
compensation, even her heart flinched.
She knew exactly how serious her injury was.
Five hundred thousand just like that? Joanna realized that there was still room for negotiation in this
matter.
"Yes, five hundred thousand dollars."
After Mateo confirmed it, Joanna lowered her head and sobbed, "Five hundred thousand dollars? My
face is ruined. I haven't even got married yet this year. Who would still be willing to marry me? Who
would want a daughter-in-law like this?"
Although she was crying, her voice was not soft. Everyone around was looking at her.
Seeing her like this, Mateo was not in a hurry to speak. When she was finished with her words and
wails, he asked, "Is there anything else?"
Lorraine stood aside and had already found Mateo's information. Mateo could be said to be one of the
most powerful lawyers in A City. He owned the Mateosky Law Firm, and the odds of failing a case were
incredibly low.
That was to say, if they really got involved in a lawsuit, they would most probably lose the game.
"I..."
"Five hundred thousand dollars. If you still want to continue talking, we'll make it four hundred
thousand."
He had seen too many people like Joanna, and Watson Group also allowed him an authority for private
settlements within a certain range.
When Joanna heard this, she was so frightened that she quickly responded, "Five hundred thousand,
five hundred thousand! Settle it!"All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.
