Rebirth of the Deadly Beauty novel Chapter 559

Leonardo had always been drawn to Yvonne.

With her frequent visits to the bar, he'd assumed she was an open and easygoing girl. But no matter how many subtle or blatant hints he dropped, Yvonne never showed the slightest interest in him.

He had known Yvonne for a long time and had already tried every trick to win her over, but nothing worked.

Leonardo wasn't a bad-looking guy, and as the owner of a bar raking in hundreds of thousands a month, finding a pretty girl wasn't exactly a challenge for him.

But people were funny like that. What came easy lost its appeal to him. It was the chase and the one just out of reach that he found irresistible.

Even after learning about Yvonne's background, he refused to give up.

Eventually, though, Yvonne seemed to catch on to his intentions. From that point on, she made it a point to only visit the bar when she knew he wouldn't be there, a move that frustrated Leonardo to no end.

A few days ago, while Leonardo and Layla were drinking together, he'd drunkenly started venting his frustrations.

He grumbled about how Yvonne was clearly the type to go out and have fun, yet she always acted like she was above it all.

That's when Layla got an idea.

Layla had recently splurged on a string of luxury items and was now drowning in debt from online loans. Half-joking, she said, "Leo, if I help you get Yvonne, how would you reward me?"

"You could pull that off?" Tipsy and barely thinking straight, Leonardo slapped the table in excitement. "If you can do it, I'll give you my brand-new Mercedes!"

"Leo, I don't want the Mercedes," Layla replied though her eyes lit up at the offer.

She quickly countered, "I've got 40 thousand left to pay off on my loans. How about you cover it for me instead?"

"40 thousand?"

Leonardo hesitated for a moment, but then thoughts of Yvonne made him itch with desire. Fueled by the alcohol, he impulsively agreed.

However, Leonardo had completely forgotten about his drunken conversation with Layla after sleeping it off. He hadn't taken it seriously at all.

"I know families like hers all too well. They wouldn't go public, and they definitely wouldn't call the cops. If this gets out, what rich heir would still want to marry her?"

"Hmm…" Leonardo frowned while turning Layla's words over in his mind.

After a moment, he had to admit her reasoning made sense.

"Leo, trust me on this. Yvonne only turned you down before because she didn't really know you. Now's your chance to show her what you've got!"

Desperate to secure the 40 thousand, she wasn't about to let him hesitate. With a firm shove, she propelled him toward the room.

"Alright. I'm going in!" Leonardo relented. The forcefulness of her encouragement bolstered his confidence.

He stepped inside, closed the door firmly behind him, and turned around. Yvonne was stretched out on the couch. Her eyes were shut tight.

He swallowed hard and steeled himself for what would come next.
