CEO's Love Trap

Chapter 3 You Can't Escape From Me

Bertram was stunned by Yolande's words. He gazed at Cathy with this strange affection in his eyes as he wrapped his arm around her waist. "Cathy's right."

"Bertram!"

Yolande had never seen Bertram so loyal to her! In fact, this was the first time she had seen him this affectionate. She dug her nails into her palms, wanting nothing more than to ruin their relationship as she saw fit, but she stopped herself. After weighing all the pros and cons of the matter, she took a deep breath and started again.

"Fine, I'll tell you. My grandfather died and left a will. It says that I have to get married within three days or else I won't be able to get the Mu Mansion."

Bertram stared at her in disbelief. "You're being like this because of a house?"

"Yes! For that house!" Yolande sneered. "Are you happy that you broke up with me? Because I'm glad I did."

Bertram wanted to say something more, but Cathy quickly pulled him back. "I'm not feeling well. Do you mind assisting me to the bathroom?" she murmured.

Seeing them walk away, Yolande bit her bottom lip. If it hadn't been for what was at stake, she wouldn't have allowed herself to be humiliated like this. Facing the people who had betrayed her so shamelessly, she had the sudden urge to vomit all over the sofa.

Bertram and Cathy didn't keep her waiting for too long.

"No," he said.

Yolande scrambled back up. "Are you sure?"

She glanced at Bertram and then at Cathy. At the look of their faces, she knew that his decision must've been the woman's idea.

Marriage was a big deal. Even if it was all just a procedure, at the end of the day, Bertram and Cathy would still experience a second marriage. Besides, even if what they had done was cruel, how could a bitch like Cathy really feel guilty?

Bertram bit his lip. "Look, marriage is a lifetime event. I can't give a perfect wedding to Cathy if I've already been married once. We'll compensate half of the property rights of the Mu Mansion. No matter how much, I'll pay for it."

"Compensation?" Yolande wanted to burst into laughter at their ridiculous ideas. Did they really think money would fix all her problems? "Is that how you compensate me then? By hooking up with each other even more?"

"Look, we've already said we're sorry, Yolande," Cathy said. "But isn't asking for a marriage too much?"

"The Mu Mansion is all I've ever wanted."

"Well," Cathy continued. "Do you have any other way to get to the mansion?"

"I..."
