Yvonne called Rachel, but her manager answered the phone instead."Rachel saw the news online. She's locked herself in her trailer and isn't letting anyone in to talk to her." The manager was feeling remorseful. "I should've stopped her from getting into a relationship with that scum!""It's not your fault. Look after Rachel. I'll go look for Dexter.""We haven't managed to find him yet.""As long as he isn't dead, we'll still be able to find him." Yvonne's anger was boiling over. She desperately wanted to get her hands on Dexter and beat him to a pulp.As she ended the call, she heard a knock on the door. Stephen walked in, and before she said anything, he calmly said, "I found Dexter."Yvonne was a little astonished. Then she grabbed Stephen's hand. "Let's go! Take me to him!"She went downstairs and found Stanley in the living room. Dexter slumped on the floor next to him, trembling like a leaf.Yvonne's fury instantly returned tenfold. She strode over to Dexter and grabbed

After Dexter posted his statement, it soon went viral.The people online who'd previously badmouthed Rachel finally realized that the random picture Rachel had previously posted had been hinting at Dexter!"That scumbag caused all this but didn't want to explain. He's such a coward. He only came forward to apologize after realizing that he couldn't hide the truth!""Now it looks like Rachel must have found out about the truth the night that news broke out. She said nothing because she must have been a victim too, right?""That girlfriend sure is strange. Her boyfriend cheated on her, but her entire post was aimed at tearing Rachel down."The internet was buzzing with comments. Most of them were on Rachel's side.Meanwhile, Yvonne had taken Dexter to a room at the back of the house for around 30 minutes. Dexter wailed miserably and begged for mercy until his voice gradually got weaker and weaker, until there was total silence.Stanley was standing next to Stephen. He got his phon

Upon Elizabeth's instructions, a few bodyguards behind her immediately moved forward and surrounded Yvonne.The leader of the bodyguards apologized, "I'm sorry, Madam."Yvonne realized that if she were to go to the hospital, no matter what the test results were, she would be diagnosed as sterile and impotent. However, she couldn't do anything to Elizabeth.Elizabeth's face darkened. "What are you all standing there for? Take her to the hospital!""Who dares to touch her?" Stephen said coldly. The bodyguards froze in terror.Elizabeth looked at Stephen and questioned sternly, "Are you going to defy me because of this ugly bitch right now?""You're the one who got us married. Now you're trying to get rid of her. Grandma, what are you trying to do?" Stephen met Elizabeth's gaze. His tone was calm yet authoritative.Elizabeth was infuriated. "I only made her stay so that she could have your children. Now that we know she can't bear any children, I won't let her stay and embarrass us

Half an hour later, Yvonne was sent back home. Just as she got out of the car, Elizabeth stopped her and said something before letting her go.The moment she entered Oceania Villa, Stephen rushed to Yvonne before she could even step inside. "What did Grandma say to you?""What else other than children?" Yvonne shrugged helplessly. "We can try to drag it on for a while. If we can no longer do it, we'll get Grandpa to help.""And she let you go that easily?" Stephen was doubtful.Yvonne recounted the conversation she had with Elizabeth in the car. She selectively chose not to tell him about the deal they'd made. Elizabeth had asked her to promise to get pregnant within a year; if not, she would have to divorce Stephen. Yvonne had agreed to it.One year was enough for her. Was she really going to be with Stephen forever? Elizabeth was wearing her down, and she was also a little exhausted.Yvonne said lazily, "I'm going to go rest."Stephen looked at her as she headed upstairs. Ev

They were just young boys, and Yvonne beat them up in a matter of seconds. It was only a pity that she spilled her latte.She bent down, terrifying the blond boy half to death. His face paled as if he'd just seen a ghost."Do you have money? Pay me back for my latte," Yvonne said."I—I do. Don't hit me." He quickly took out whatever money he had on him and pushed it into Yvonne's hands before getting up and fleeing the scene."Hey!" Yvonne yelled, but the boy ran even faster.Yvonne was helpless. She wanted to return the money; a cup of latte didn't cost that much."Miss." At that moment, a timid little voice rang out from above her. Yvonne turned to meet the boy's clear gaze. He was completely different from the last time she'd seen him go berserk at Anderson Mansion.Yvonne stood up and waved the cash in her hand. "Shall I buy you a latte?"Conan nodded in delight and followed Yvonne out of the park. While waiting for their drinks, Yvonne asked him tentatively, "Do you stil

Yvonne was woken up by the noise downstairs. She was just about to head out to have a look when Tabitha anxiously pushed her back into her room."Madam, don't go out. There must be some misunderstanding. Mr. Charles wants to take you back to Anderson Mansion!"That immediately woke Yvonne up, like she'd been doused by a bucket of water. Her heart sank.She was finished! How did Charles find out about her so quickly?Downstairs, Stephen and Charles were in a standoff. Stephen stood by the staircase, clearly stopping the bodyguards from going upstairs to look for Yvonne.Charles was furious. "Why are you still protecting her? Don't you know what she did today? She dared to hurt Conan!"Stephen was stunned. Yvonne saw Conan today? No wonder she'd been acting shifty when she'd returned home. She was hiding something from him."I must take her back to Anderson Mansion to question her face-to-face. If she really did something to Conan, I will never let her escape easily!"Charles' fa

"No, no ..."Conan ran downstairs and stood in front of Yvonne, shaking his head and waving his hands violently. "It's not her ..." "Conan, why did you come down? I'll stand up for you. Listen to me; go back to your room first." Camille patiently coaxed him before getting the maid to take him away.Conan was nervous, so he didn't know what else to say besides repeatedly uttering, "No." He stomped his feet anxiously.Elizabeth noticed his reaction and asked tentatively, "Conan, are you trying to say that it wasn't her who hit you? Am I right?"Conan nodded fervently, "Then, how did you get hurt?" Elizabeth asked. Conan was stumped. He stammered for a long time and could barely say a single sentence. He got exasperated in the end and grabbed his hair with both hands, making weird sounds.Camille's heart was broken. She immediately went forward to hug Conan and cried at Elizabeth, "Mom, Conan doesn't know anything. Why are you forcing him? Yvonne must have threatened him not to

It was raining cats and dogs, drenching Yvonne, who was receiving her punishment outside. She was being caned repeatedly on her back. Her flesh split open, turning the clothes on her back red.She gritted her teeth hard while taking the punishment, looking pale as a ghost.Suddenly, she remembered the bloody days she'd had when she was younger. Back then, the injuries she'd suffered had been more serious than this. She was long used to injuries to the flesh. However, her heart never ached as much as it did at that moment. It was as if the cane was striking her heart, not her back.She couldn't understand why she was suddenly being beaten. She intended to force herself to think about it until she came to a conclusion, despite knowing that all she needed to do to put an end to this ordeal was pretend to pass out.The Anderson family stood by the door, watching Yvonne get punished. This was the first time they had met such a stubborn person. They'd initially thought that she wouldn't

Ever since returning from Anderson Mansion, Yvonne had been staying at Oceania Villa and recuperating.Although she still spoke to Stephen, there was a wedge between them.Tabitha changed Yvonne's wound dressing twice a day. Every time she did it, her eyes would redden with heartbreak.That day, Yvonne was lying on her stomach when she felt some water droplets dripping on her back. She turned back to see Tabitha frantically wiping her tears away.Yvonne couldn't help but feel for her. "Mrs. Lopez, this is just a small injury. I've suffered even worse in the past. I'm not crying, so why are you?""You silly girl! What are you talking about? You have such a delicate body. How could you suffer all these injuries?" Tabitha sniffled. She lightly dabbed medicine on Yvonne's injuries. "You're a girl. You can't have scars on your back. It won't look nice.""I don't even mind the scars on my face. Who will look at my back?" Yvonne chuckled and said thoughtfully, "You're the first person w

At night, Yvonne snuck out of Oceania Villa without informing anyone. She knew her body well enough, and she wasn't going to let her injuries stop her from going out. All she needed to do was wear loose clothes that wouldn't touch her injuries.When Yvonne arrived, Rachel was just opening a bottle of Ace of Spades. The entire atmosphere was at its peak. Yvonne followed the barmaid to the booth Rachel had reserved, only to see that Rachel had already started drinking.Rachel had one hand pulling on a handsome man's tie and the other hand combing through his hair. Rachel said tipsily, "I don't like this hair color. Can you shave it off?"Yvonne didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Could Rachel not even see men with the same hair color as Dexter now? She went up to Rachel. "Ms. Turner, you've already drunk yourself stupid before I even got here?""I liked it!" Rachel opened her arms wide, about to hug Yvonne. Luckily, Yvonne reacted quickly; she held Rachel's hands before they clasped
