I Have A Solo Mommy Plan, But Daddy Refuses to Let Go-Chapter 379: Restraint

"President, Miss Sienna Quinn is hosting a birthday party over there."

Danielle said to Axel Yates, a hint of struggle flashing in her eyes... 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

Axel Yates sat in his office, gently nodding his head, and said expressionlessly, "I already know. You can go now."

Danielle obediently exited the president’s office.

These days the president had been staying at the company constantly. Since that incident framed Sienna, there had been no ties between Sienna and the Yates Group... She even ignored Danielle.

Whenever he thought of this, Axel Yates couldn’t help but feel a pang in his heart.

No matter what, when Sienna first returned to the country, it had always been Axel Yates who was responsible. Her current position was also thanks to Sienna’s guidance.

Yet now, all of this had been ruined by that plot, completely severing the relationship between the two of them.

Axel Yates sat in his office, eyes half-closed, looking out the window. The dim moonlit night made his gaze appear somewhat unfocused.

Would Sienna still be willing to talk to him now?

Axel Yates sneered at himself, with a faint sadness in his eyes: "The vengeance for my parents cannot be ignored. Feelings can be set aside."

But at the thought of Sienna’s slightly gaunt but delicate face...

The heartache almost left him breathless.

Axel Yates suddenly clutched his chest; the faint pain made his expression look somewhat ferocious.

"Landon Lawson, this is all your fault. If it weren’t for the misdeeds your father committed back then, how would my family and I have ended up like this?"

A sudden urgent ringing interrupted Axel Yates’ thoughts. Seeing the caller ID, his previously aching heart instantly returned to normal, with a cold flash crossing his face.

"Hello, what made you call me?"

"Just seeing that you haven’t taken any action recently, so I thought I’d give you a push." A low male voice slowly rose.

Hearing this man’s voice, Axel Yates frowned slightly.

"What do you want me to do?"

Axel always felt as if he were under someone’s control, with everything seemingly beyond his grasp.

Actually, Axel Yates had always wondered if things would be better if he didn’t agree to cooperate with this man.

At least... at least he could choose what to do himself.

Moreover, Axel Yates had a vague feeling that this man’s intentions weren’t simple, and eventually, he himself might be ensnared by him.

He knew he was merely a pawn for this mysterious man. But to avenge his parents’ deaths, how could being used matter?

"Landon Lawson has a business going on, and I need your interference now."

"A business? What’s Landon Lawson doing now?"

Axel Yates asked a bit confused; she was always most concerned about Landon Lawson’s affairs, but recently, there hadn’t been any news of him.

The eerie voice on the other end gradually rose: "You don’t need to know what he’s doing; you just need to help me hold him back."

Axel Yates frowned. Although they were supposed to be partners, Axel Yates knew nothing about Landon Lawson’s matters.

Axel Yates let out a burst of laughter.

"Why do I feel like I’m not your partner, but your pawn?"

"How you view it is up to you. Isn’t your goal just revenge? You don’t need to meddle in anything else."

The hoarse voice made one’s skin crawl.

Axel Yates pressed his lips tightly together, but thinking of his earlier conversation with the mysterious man, realizing he had no advantage, if he wanted to bring down Landon Lawson, he’d need help.

And now the only one who could help Axel Yates was this mysterious man.

"I don’t care what you’re doing; I just need to see an outcome where Landon Lawson’s family is destroyed."

"Of course, after all, we’re in a cooperative relationship."

The man chuckled incessantly.

The sensation that made Axel Yates’ whole body tingle swept over him, and immediately he let out a string of cold laughter.

As long as he could see Landon Lawson in agony, he’d feel satisfied, feel gratified, feel that vengeance had been achieved.

All these years, he lived missing his parents, whose tragic deaths in a car accident were for which Landon Lawson’s father had to pay.

Even though Axel Yates knew he was being used by this mysterious man, at least he still had value.

"Your main target should be Sienna Quinn, as she’s Landon Lawson’s Achilles’ heel."

"Sienna?"

Axel Yates was momentarily dumbfounded, asking somewhat confused.

The mysterious man on the other end chuckled softly.

"I know your feelings for Sienna, but now you must choose: protect this woman, or take revenge for your parents?"

"I..."

Axel Yates found himself at a loss for words; he didn’t want to harm Sienna.

But now the bow was drawn, and he had no choice but to fire...

Axel Yates clenched his teeth tightly, vehemently saying, "I know now."

The two hung up the phone. Axel Yates laughed sinisterly, though there was struggle in his eyes, it was fleeting.

Nothing was more important than avenging his parents.

Axel Yates yelled towards the door, "Danielle, come in."

Danielle walked in, looking at Axel Yates with some confusion.

The latter smiled toward Danielle and said, "We’re going to the birthday party."

"But you just said we weren’t going."

"Since it’s a crowded place, naturally it’ll be lively. How can we not join in and be part of the fun?"

The man laughed eerily, making Danielle shiver violently.

The president before her was becoming more and more inscrutable; the gentle and calm Axel Yates seemed never to return.

But what on earth had happened to him? Why had he undergone such a drastic change?

Axel Yates put on the clothes he had prepared earlier and turned to walk out.

Danielle followed behind Axel Yates, looking at the man’s back with complex emotions.

Just before, when the president was on the phone, he had used the company’s internal line, and she had overheard the conversation...

But the topic she overheard left her at a loss.

Why were both that mysterious man and Axel Yates trying so hard to bring Landon Lawson down?

What had happened among these people?

However, at that moment, Axel Yates did not know his conversation with the mysterious man had been completely overheard by Danielle.

Sitting in the car heading to the party, Axel Yates’s lips curled into a strange smile.

As if he could already foresee what was about to happen, Danielle shivered violently at Axel Yates’s eerie expression reflected in the rearview mirror.
