She wanted to stand beside the pyramid, not beneath it looking up.
She wanted to stand on equal ground with Lucas.
And how could Charles not see through his daughter’s thoughts?
He knew she was too ambitious.
There was a time when he’d even considered marrying her to Lucas, but ever since learning that Lucas was already married, he knew that door was closed.
There was no point forcing something that would never happen.
Lucas calling him had made one thing clear—he had no interest in Yvonne at all.
Pushing the matter further would only erase whatever little goodwill remained.
Lucas wasn’t the kind of man to hold on to sentiment. Charles knew that better than anyone.
So how could he possibly stand by and watch his daughter throw herself into the fire?
“So, you really won’t come back?” Charles let out a long sigh.
He understood her ambition too well. But the man was married now, pursuing him any further would only make her look foolish.
“My mind’s made up, Dad. Please don’t interfere anymore.” Yvonne’s tone was firm. Once she decided on something, no one could change it.
Charles’ expression hardened. “Do you even realize you could bring ruin to this family?”
But his words only strengthened her resolve. “No matter what happens, this is my decision. Don’t worry, it won’t drag the Song family into it.”
“And your idea of living your life is destroying our family, is that it?” Charles’ voice rose in frustration. “I’m telling you, if you don’t get on the next flight home, your mother and I will come to you ourselves!”
“Do whatever you want. I’m not going back.”
With that, Yvonne hung up.
The moment she ended the call, regret washed over her.
She clutched the phone tightly, staring at her father’s name on the screen, her chest aching.
She knew what she’d done was rebellious, even cruel, but how could she stay calm when he kept forcing her like this?
Just as she’d said, she’d been by Lucas’ side for so many years. How could she possibly let go now?
