Old Mr. Robinson had just poured himself some tea when he saw Caleb. He was slightly taken aback. "Caleb, why are you …"The next second, his gaze fell on Yvonne, who was standing next to him. He immediately said, "You two came together?""Yes, Old Mr. Robinson, isn't it a coincidence? I was just sending over some documents to Miller Jewels when I saw your butler inviting her." Caleb comfortably took a seat. "You won't blame me for coming over to crash your meal, right?"Arthur furrowed his brows. "What documents were you sending to Miller Jewels?""We're collaborating." Caleb smiled and looked at Thomas next to Arthur. "You are …?""Thomas Jones of Jones Jewels." Arthur simply introduced them before looking at Yvonne. "I asked you here today not to beat around the bush. I want to talk to you about the designs."Yvonne had already predicted this would happen. She immediately smiled. "There's nothing to talk about, right? Kayla took my mother's design to join a competition. She an

As they left Robinson Residence, Caleb walked next to Yvonne. "Ms. Miller, you're amazing for daring to be so bold in front of Old Mr. Robinson. No one in the entire Northerna City would dare to do that.""I was only arguing my case." Yvonne was a little exhausted. Judging by Arthur's reaction, he didn't seem like he'd easily give up on the Jones family. Perhaps the Robinsos might even put some money into Jones Jewels. If that were to happen, once this had passed, Jones Jewels would be resurrected once more.Just the thought of it irritated her. She didn't understand it. Was Kayla really that worth it?"But," Caleb reached his hand out to stop Yvonne in her tracks and gently continued, "You really have to think carefully. If this blows up, you'll become enemies with the Robinson family."Yvonne smiled. "Even if I don't treat them as my enemy, they were never planning to go easy on me."Since that was the case, she would rather just face them head-on. Moreover, the Robinsons might

The moment Xavier's plane landed, he went straight to Robinson Residence.In his study, Arthur was talking on the phone with the finance department of Robinson Group. Suddenly, the call was cut off. Arthur looked at the finger that was firmly pressing against the landline. He looked up and asked, "Why have you returned?""If I hadn't returned any sooner, you might have emptied Robinson Group's capital to help out Jones Jewels." Xavier continued, saying frostily, "I spent a huge amount of money on the green agate mine. There isn't enough on the accounts for you to do charity.""How much would a mine cost, you—""3.6 billion dollars."Arthur widened his eyes in disbelief. "Have you gone mad? Why did you spend so much on a mine? Have you considered how long it will take to recuperate? You're really getting out of hand! Spending so much money without discussing it with the board! Making decisions on your own!" Arthur was so angry that his chest hurt. "Robinson Group will die in your

Thomas grabbed Monica's hand, but she was out of her mind and terrifyingly strong."Don't stop me! I'm going to meet the Robinsons! They promised that they would help us! Is this how they help us? How could they just leave us to fend for ourselves?"Slap! Thomas slapped Monica in the face. Monica was baffled. She looked at Thomas stiffly and finally calmed down. Thomas, on the other hand, flared up and asked, "What are you doing right now? You've already destroyed our family; are you going to embarrass yourself in front of the Robinsons now?""What …" Monica couldn't believe her ears. "What do you mean I destroyed our family?""Well, am I wrong?" Thomas' face turned red with rage. "If you hadn't encouraged Kayla to use Tara's designs for the competition, would we have ended up like this today? Monica, I've always told you not to be so greedy! Stop with your fantasies of marrying your daughter into a rich family! You have to look at her capabilities too!"Monica pounced on Thomas

Seeing Monica's face turn purple from lack of oxygen, the butler jumped into action. He frantically went up to Xavier and grabbed his hand. "Sir, calm down."Xavier let go, but Monica had already passed out, slumping to the ground. The butler immediately bent down to check on her breathing. Thankfully, she was fine.He turned to instruct the bodyguards. "Take her back to the hospital and tell the Jones family that if they were to spread anything bad about the Robinsons, they'd suffer the consequences."When he turned back to look, Xavier had already stormed inside. When Xavier pushed open the door to Jasmine's room, she was standing by the balcony. From where she was standing, she had a clear view of everything that had happened just now. "What did Monica say to you?" Jasmine didn't turn around, keeping her back to Xavier."She said you used Tara Miller's design to win the competition too." Xavier's tone was so calm, it was terrifying.Jasmine said nothing but clutched her raili

When Monica woke up, Xavier was sitting by the side of the bed. The memories from before she'd passed out suddenly appeared in her mind. She clearly remembered Xavier's murderous glare!She was so frightened that she retreated while clutching the covers. "I—I don't want to die.""Tell me, what will it take to keep your mouth shut?" Xavier said coldly and impatiently.Monica was stunned. She soon understood what he was saying. "Jasmine had admitted it to you? She—""I don't want to hear anything else."Monica swallowed. "I'm sure you know what I want. Right now, we really need—""The Robinson Group doesn't have extra money at hand to save Jones Jewels." Even though Xavier wanted to make a deal, he wanted boundaries as well. He said with a frosty expression, "Deal with Jones Jewels on your own. The only thing I can promise is that I won't call off my marriage with Kayla, but it will have to wait until later. After all, things need to calm down.""No!" Monica panicked. "Jones Jewel

Clang! The blood-soaked knife was thrown right in front of Kayla. She shuddered as if she'd just seen a ghost. Stephen turned to instruct Julian, "Take her to the police. Press charges for intentional homicide on the streets."Julian nodded. "Okay."Kayla instantly panicked. She kept shaking her head and waving her hands. "No, I'm not going to the police."Julian couldn't grab Kayla alone. He turned to Lloyd, who was still rooted to his spot. "Are you coming to help or what?"Lloyd snapped out of it and quickly went up to help. When he got into Julian's car, he slowly came to realize that Julian had deliberately got him away so that they could give Stephen and Yvonne time alone!On the other side, Yvonne looked at Stephen's hands with furrowed brows. With the speed and strength of the attack, the cut was most likely deep into the bones. The bleeding had to be stopped immediately.Yvonne handed Stephen her handkerchief, but Stephen didn't react. She thought that perhaps he cou

"You!" Monica spoke through gritted teeth, glaring daggers at Yvonne. "You bitch!"A slap caught Monica off guard. Yvonne had done it so swiftly that everyone was left stunned. Monica was seething. She raised her hand, wanting to return the slap when she got hit. This time, it was on the other side. Monica's ears buzzed, and her face burned.Yvonne sneered. "I dare you to call me names one more time. I'll make sure you receive equal amounts on both sides."Seeing that, Kayla stopped crying and looked at Yvonne with fear in her eyes. They were in the police station at that moment; it wouldn't do them any good to attack.The police went up to talk to Yvonne, pulling her and Monica apart. Monica was unhappy. She clutched her face and complained, "You all saw it! She hit me! Lock her up! You all—""Are you here to settle or fight?"Monica was at a loss for words at the police officer's question. She had no choice but to swallow her fury.Then the police looked at Yvonne and summar

After walking for a bit, Yvonne pulled her hand away. "Where did you send Kayla?""A place where she can learn her lesson." Stephen clenched his fists as if trying to remember the touch of Yvonne's wrist."You only have one bodyguard with you. That's not enough." Stephen looked at Lloyd while saying that. Lloyd could clearly sense the hatred in Stephen's gaze. He opened his mouth, trying to retort, but then he recalled how he'd indeed been slow to react today. If Stephen hadn't appeared in time, the consequences would have been unimaginable.Lloyd pursed his lips, blaming himself. Yvonne noticed and calmly said, "I'll consider it. You don't have to worry, Stephen."At that moment, a Porsche stopped right by the side of the road. Caleb got out of the car and headed directly to Yvonne. He noticed Stephen, who was standing next to her, so he greeted him first."Mr. Anderson, you're here too."Caleb smiled meaningfully. He looked at them both and said, "So … what's going on right

Stephen was silent. Caleb laughed even more delightedly. He patted Stephen on the shoulder. "Don't worry. I wouldn't dare compete with you. Yvonne and I are just working together. There isn’t an ounce of personal feelings here. You can go ahead, investigate, and see."Caleb said distractedly, "This is Turner Tech's way of earning extra income. I'm sure you won't stop me from doing this, right?"Seeing how Caleb was so open and honest, Stephen couldn't sense anything off at that moment. He frowned. "Just do good work with Yvonne. Other than that—""I promise I won't have any other intentions." Caleb raised one hand, promising Stephen. He then raised an eyebrow, smiling. "Truth be told, compared to Yvonne, I'm more interested in you, Mr. Anderson."Stephen glared at him coldly. Caleb had achieved his goal. He was thoroughly amused. How was Stephen still unable to take a joke?After Caleb left, Stephen received a call from James."Stephen, it's Stanley's birthday this Friday. I plan
