Requiem of a Broken Heart

Chapter 940:

Yvonne’s stomach twisted at the sight, and before she could stop herself, she took a breath, narrowed her eyes, and flung her high heel straight at his head. The stiletto’s sharp heel slammed against his shoulder with a thud, forcing a grunt from his throat as he staggered.

He spun around, his eyes wild with fury, bloodshot and twitching like he had completely snapped.

The look in his eyes sent a jolt through Yvonne, but she held firm. “There are security cameras everywhere. I’ve already called the police. I’ll let what you’ve done go for now, but if you touch either of us again, you’ll be looking at prison time. You look old enough to have a family—maybe think about them before you do something stupid.”

He spat a curse under his breath, his jaw clenched, but the tension in his fists slowly loosened.

Sensing the shift, Yvonne stepped forward, her voice even. “You’ve got two options—walk away now, or stick around and wait for the cops to drag you off.” His shoulders twitched as if debating, then he spun on his heel and stormed off down the sidewalk.

Yvonne stayed still until he crossed the street and disappeared from view. Only then did her muscles ease.

“Thank you…” The woman turned to Yvonne, her voice soft, then blinked. “Wait a second—you’re the one who came in for an interview earlier, aren’t you?”

Yvonne gave her a once-over and finally placed her face. “You’re the HR manager, right?”

Pamela nodded and offered a faint smile. “I remember you. You’re striking—and your resume was impressive too.”

Yvonne let out a sigh. “Guess your company has pretty impossible standards, then. I couldn’t even get in.”

“That’s not it,” Pamela blurted, but immediately bit her lip like she had said too much.

“Then what is it?” Yvonne asked, her tone gentle but firm.noveldrama

Pamela hesitated, glancing down the street before looking back at Yvonne. After a pause, she said quietly, “Sometimes, it’s safer to stay under the radar—you never know who you might offend. That’s all I can really say. But thank you again—for everything.”

With that, Pamela turned and walked off briskly, heels clicking against the pavement as if eager to leave the conversation behind.

Yvonne stayed frozen, Pamela’s warning still echoing in her ears like a riddle she couldn’t quite solve.

“Did I ever cross someone without realizing it?” she murmured to herself. But as one face suddenly came to mind, her expression hardened, her eyes darkening with rage like a storm rolling in.

“That scumbag! Didn’t he say I could take the job?” Her voice trembled with disbelief. “How could he just go back on it like that?”

It hit her like a slap—the rejections, the cold stares, the slammed doors. Norton had been pulling strings behind her back.
