"Conan, what are you going on about? How could you have possibly seen her there?" Camille reached out and patted Conan on the head. She looked at him gently and asked, "Did you have a nightmare?"Conan shook his head and muttered. "It's not a nightmare. It's not.""It must be." Camille was sure of it. Conan had gone through this many times. In the past, every time he woke up, he'd say that he saw monsters under his bed and decided to sleep on the floor for a month. She had to lie to him, saying that the monsters had gone back to their home, in order to convince him to return to bed. She'd heard all sorts of absurd stories, let alone the one about him seeing Yvonne.Camille hugged Conan and gently coaxed, "Conan, don't be afraid. Once you're cured, you won't have these strange dreams anymore.""It's not a dream!" Conan pried Camille's hands away and glared at her angrily. Other than repeating, "It's not a dream," he said nothing else.Camille had no choice but to give in to him. "A

Stephen sat alone in the room until dusk before slowly coming out of his thoughts.Only lovers tested each other like this. James had helped him test Yvonne. Even if it hadn't been his intention, what was done was done. Yvonne was a smart woman. She would guess what was going on sooner or later. How would she view him then?In the end, he was the one who'd crossed the line in their clear transactional relationship. Stephen's head hurt from thinking about it. He gave up and went to take a shower before returning to Oceania Villa.He was going to deal with it one step at a time when he saw Yvonne.…At night, Yvonne received a call from Gwen. She was just about to complain when Gwen informed her that Curtis had gotten drunk in a bar.Yvonne was baffled. "How was he still in the mood to get drunk? I nearly got into trouble because of him!"Luckily, nothing too serious happened this time. According to her team member's report, Camille didn't suspect her. If not, she would be think

The sound of a glass bottle shattering rang out, along with a muffled grunt behind her.Yvonne jumped. She turned around to see Xavier smiling at her. Xavier had taken the hit on his back. It hurt a lot, but when he saw Yvonne, he was happy. Soon, the men Xavier had brought with him took control of the situation.The thugs' leader, Dax, immediately recognized Xavier. He anxiously went up. "Mr. Robinson, w—why are you here You …"Dax noticed that Xavier's back was bleeding, and the blood was seeping through his shirt. He was instantly horrified and yelled out loud, "Who the hell hurt Mr. Robinson? Stand up right now!"A thug was pushed out of the group, trembling in fear.Dax went up and kicked him before handing Xavier a beer bottle. "Mr. Robinson, do it to him and teach him a lesson for me."Xavier turned to pass the bottle to Yvonne. "He was coming for you. Why don't you do it?"It wasn't the time to find fault, and Yvonne wasn't in the mood. She furrowed her brows and looke

Yvonne said nothing but merely splashed a bottle of antiseptic solution on his wounds.Xavier was in so much pain that he said through gritted teeth, "Are you trying to kill me?""If you don't want it to hurt, you better be good," Yvonne warned coldly.Xavier was dejected. He'd never met a woman like Yvonne who wouldn't fall for any of his tricks. He'd already gotten hurt because of her, but she was still so unfriendly! Was her heart made of stone? Xavier finally quieted down. He couldn't help but recall the image of Yvonne in the back alley a moment ago. A desire slowly built up in his heart. In the back alley, she'd been like a feral cat, wandering in the dark with a lust for blood.While he was terrified of her, he had a strong urge to dominate her. He must have Yvonne!"All done." Yvonne put the first aid kit away and calmly said, "Please help me keep tonight a secret. Don't tell other people that I was here to rescue that man.""Who is he?" Xavier asked. "He must be import

After leaving the hospital, Yvonne returned to the Oceania Villa and changed her clothes, planning to head to Miller Tower.As she was halfway down the stairs, she saw Stephen, who'd just entered. He looked at her coldly, his demeanor so frosty that it was a complete juxtaposition with the sunlight shining through.Yvonne was alarmed. He looked like he was there to interrogate her."Where were you last night?" Stephen asked coldly."I …" Yvonne didn't know how much Stephen knew, and she wasn't sure if she should tell the truth. She hesitated for a while before asking in retort, "What did you hear?"Stephen was so furious that he almost laughed. How dare this woman beat around the bush with him?"Get down here!" Stephen barked.Yvonne was so surprised that she was almost in tears. She obediently went to Stephen. She racked her brain, but she had no idea what to say. Was she really going to die at Stephen's hands?"Yvonne, what on earth are you trying to do?" Stephen tried to sup

With that, Stanley left, leaving Yvonne stunned. Rachel angrily approached her. "What's going on? How dare Stanley treat you this way? I'll go and teach him a lesson right away!"Yvonne held her back. "Don't go."Hearing the exhaustion in Yvonne's tone, Rachel looked at her with concern. "What happened? Did you quarrel with Stephen again?"Yvonne nodded. Rachel could see through it. "Is this your fault this time?"Yvonne sighed. "Yes, I guess."It seemed like she'd been making Stephen angry all the time recently, and the incident with Xavier had been the last thread. Yvonne got more and more depressed as she thought about it. She was afraid that Stephen wouldn't calm down any time soon."Are the rumors true? That you rescued Xavier?" Rachel was worried. "Vonnie, this two-timing is too much for you. Don't get caught up in it."Yvonne furrowed her brows. "There are rumors going around?""It seems like Xavier is telling everyone—"Before she could finish her sentence, the do

When Rachel read the speculations online, she instantly reported them as spam before forwarding them to Yvonne with an angry message."These marketing accounts have nothing better to do! How dare they spread such wild rumors! The photo is so blurry that no one can recognize their faces. Just because they put a headshot of Stephen next to it, it doesn't mean that it's really Stephen!"Yvonne waited for her to finish typing before slowly replying, "That is indeed Stephen."Rachel showed her surprise by replying to Yvonne with a series of exclamation marks.Yvonne looked at the photo for a while before thinking back to that night at the bar. If she'd arrived any later, would Stephen have gotten into bed with that social media influencer?At that thought, Yvonne furrowed her brows. She didn't know why, but she felt disappointment in her heart. She no longer bothered to read Rachel's messages. She threw her phone to the side and lay in bed, trying to clear her thoughts.She'd promised

The two men drank up the wine in their glasses. Richard's gaze landed on the woman behind his friend, and he could no longer look away.The middle-aged man instantly understood and pulled Simone over. "Simone, this is Richard York. He's a huge jewel supplier. If you drink with him, he'll give you a huge gemstone!"Simone smiled. "Is that so? Then I really must drink with him.""I would be lucky to have such a beautiful woman drink with me. I must fill my glass up to the brim!" Richard got the server to pour him some wine as he ogled Simone.While clinking glasses, Richard grabbed Simone's hand. "You have such beautiful hands. How could they not have any accessories? I'll give you a—"Before he could finish his sentence, Yvonne grabbed his wrist. She added pressure, and his palms turned numb. He automatically let go of Simone's hands.Yvonne smiled ambiguously. "Mr. York, we're drinking; you don't need to use your hands, right?""Who the hell are you?" The middle-aged man barked.

Yvonne didn't hear Simone clearly. She was about to ask her about it when Simone's phone rang.Simone turned to the side to pick up the call. She merely said two sentences before hanging up.Yvonne asked, "Is someone coming to pick you up?""Hmm." Seeing how tenderly Simone smiled, Yvonne could more or less guess it. "It's the person who picked you up from Euphoria Smith before, right? It must be someone special."Simone merely smiled without replying. Yvonne instantly understood. Simone was famous, and it was only normal for her to keep a lid on her love life. However, Yvonne was also curious as to what sort of man would interest Simone."He'll be here shortly. I'll wait here alone." Simone's suggestion crushed Yvonne's curiosity. "It's late. You should go home too."Thinking that Simone wanted to maintain her privacy, Yvonne gave in. "Okay. Let's meet again soon."After saying goodbye to Simone, Yvonne walked to the parking lot. The driver she'd hired was waiting by the side

Richard had a beautiful woman on each arm. After a few rounds of drinks, he happily praised Thomas. "This is why they say not to do business with women! They're such a pain in the ass!""Who the hell does Yvonne Miller think she is? Does she think that just because Stephen Anderson has her back, she can do whatever she likes? Pfft! From what I see, she's nothing!"Richard chimed in, "Stephen Anderson is still fooling around! She can just go to hell!"Thomas chuckled and poured the wine for Richard. "Looks like she got you quite pissed off, Mr. York.""It's alright." Richard waved his hand. He kept thinking about Simone. Just recalling her beauty gave him goosebumps."That friend of hers is an absolute beauty. If only I could get my hands on her …" Richard squinted his eyes and grabbed the woman's thigh next to him. "Even if I died on top of her, I'd die happy!"His perverse words were so loud that they could be heard from outside.Stanley could no longer hold back. He kicked the
