While Yvonne puked bile, her mind was racing. As expected, when she started to catch her breath, Stephen asked, "Why did you puke?"She composed herself and turned to look at Stephen, looking rather annoyed. "Is it any of your business?"Stephen furrowed his brows without saying anything. "What? Are you still expecting the child to be there?" Yvonne sneered. "It's too late to regret it.""No," Stephen said in a low voice, "I never regret anything that I've done."Somehow, this made Yvonne feel even more sick. "Sure." She turned to look at Conan. "You're a man, yet you're sobbing so much. Don't you feel embarrassed?"Conan had already stopped crying the second Yvonne started puking. When he heard what Yvonne said, he quickly wiped away the tears from his face and looked at her stubbornly. Those watery eyes had the naivety of an idiot, but they were rather adorable.Yvonne felt much better. She looked at Stephen once more. "Next weekend is New Year's Eve. Are you free?" Before Step

However, Yvonne only smiled at Rachel cheekily, as if saying, "You'll see."Rachel was annoyed. "Vonnie! How dare you tease me like that! You know I desperately want to know!"Yvonne smiled but said nothing. Rachel, on the contrary, started going on and on, saying, "Actually, it'll be good if you two get back together. Stanley told me that without you around, Stephen seemed to have lost his will to live. There's only work in his life. He doesn't even eat well. I heard he's lost a lot of weight. It looked like he was quite serious about you. I am guessing he must have realized that he'd done wrong …"Yvonne thought about how she'd seen Stephen earlier that day. He'd indeed lost weight, and the shape of his face had even gotten more angular. She pursed her lips, suddenly feeling a little upset but unable to explain why."Vonnie, no matter what you do, I'll support you," Rachel said seriously.Yvonne thought for a while before looking at Rachel. "Rachel, Stanley's a good man. You don

Yvonne returned to work as usual. Miller Jewels' online sales platform would go live as the first set of fireworks bloomed in the sky that night.Everyone at Miller Jewels was highly anticipating the marketing campaign. At that morning's meeting, Yvonne could see that every executive was feeling rather nervous. She jokingly told them to relax.When the meeting was coming to an end, Yvonne stood up and gave a speech in her melodious voice. "Ever since I took over Miller Jewels, everyone has been working hard with me. I thank you all for your trust and for sticking with me and Miller Jewels. Miller Jewels not only belongs to the Miller family, but it was also made with the blood, sweat, and tears of every single one of you. The bigger Miller Jewels grows, the better it is for everyone. I hope that you can all continue working in unity together. Here's to a new year and a great beginning for Miller Jewels."A rapturous applause broke out. When all the staff left, Nicole walked up to

Rachel led Yvonne to the bar. Yvonne only asked for a glass of lemon water.Rachel took a sip of her cocktail and passed it to Yvonne out of habit. "Have a sip. The taste is quite special. It's a new cocktail Euphoria Smith will be releasing soon."Yvonne was just about to refuse when Caleb took the glass. He took a drink and let the liquid swirl in his mouth. "It's alright. The vodka's a little too much."Rachel was instantly infuriated. "Who said you could drink my drink?""What? Are you afraid that I might find your saliva disgusting?" Caleb smiled. "I'm not that fussy; don't worry.""You …" Rachel gritted her teeth, irritated at her brother.Caleb looked at the glass and commented loudly for Stanley, who was next to him, to hear. "He even tells you about things like new drink releases. It looks like he really cares for you."Rachel blushed. She snatched her glass back and grumbled, "Shut up."Stanley, on the contrary, was unfazed by it. "Caleb, don't worry. No matter what h

By midnight, the entire Northerna City came alive. There were people everywhere, their happy faces lit by the fireworks in the sky.The next second, a swarm of drones rose in the air. With the fireworks as the backdrop, the drones lit up and formed a picture of assorted gemstones made into exquisite jewelry, which caused everyone to cheer.In the end, the drones formed the logo and slogan of Miller Jewels, followed by the news of the online sales platform. What was even more amazing was that the drones even showed a simple demonstration of the online sales platform!Seeing that, everyone realized that the drones were an advertisement for Miller Jewels! "My God! Miller Jewels came up with something huge!""This is amazing!""Who wrote the codes for the drones? It's brilliant!"A sea of praise sang out. Many even took photos of the drones and posted them on the internet. Instantly, Miller Jewels was trending.Within half an hour, the online sales platform had garnered millions o

Caleb couldn't fight like Stephen. On top of that, Stephen was furious, so he didn't watch the strength of his punches. Stephen was overpowering Caleb so much that Caleb couldn't even fight back. However, Caleb's gaze was ever so determined. It was this determination that infuriated Stephen even more.He grabbed Caleb by the collar and punched him. "Yvonne is mine. What right do you have to protect her?"Caleb spat some blood and laughed. "I dare you to just kill me."When Julian arrived in a hurry, he saw what was happening and immediately yelled frantically, "Stop hitting him! Stop it!" Julian grabbed Stephen's fist and quickly said, "Sir, something has happened over at Conan's side. Someone broke in and took Conan away!"The hostility in Stephen's eyes vanished instantly. He looked at Julian coldly. "What happened?""The guards are chasing them. They looked like they were trained. They …" Julian's expression was ugly. "I saw surveillance footage. They looked like the men who'

Xavier hadn't hidden Kayla away. She'd merely been sent to the hospital that night. Her condition had already been unstable since Monica's death, which had been a huge blow to her. On top of that, hurting Yvonne and seeing blood that night had made her go mad.She'd had to be put on tranquilizers to calm down all this time.Through the glass on the door, they could see her cowering in a corner, yelling at nothing from time to time.Xavier stood next to Stephen. "She's received her punishment already. The doctor said that she would most likely never recover for the rest of her life."Stephen was silent. He looked away. Seeing that he was about to leave, Xavier followed him. "Is Yvonne's absence such a huge blow to you?"Stephen said nothing. Xavier was long used to Stephen not responding to other people's questions. He merely smiled. "You should have realized sooner how important she was to you. You could have cherished her earlier. Now—""Shut up," Stephen commanded coldly, cle

Stephen arrived at a private clinic based on the address that the fat woman had given him. Even before he entered the clinic, he heard a woman pleading. He couldn't help but stop in his tracks."Aston, let's keep this child. I—I can stop school for a year. I …"The man, Aston, said, "Linda, you're in over your head. This is a human being, not a stray cat or dog. We have to raise him! It takes money!""I … I still have some money with me. If my body permits, I could take on jobs too. You could also …" The lady said seriously, "As long as you stop gambling and save your salary, we can raise this child."Aston lost his patience. "Can you stop being so naive? We can barely feed ourselves, yet you want to raise a child?"Then he seemed to have suddenly thought of something. Aston said impatiently, "Linda, you can go and ask the rich man who sponsored you. Perhaps he would give us some money. That way, we can raise the child. Am I right?""Aston, you …"Right at this moment, hurried f

Five years later, at Notherna City Airport, a woman in a bodycon dress walked out of the VIP lane with a small suitcase in her hand. She adjusted the sunglasses on her nose, showing off her clean and fair face. She was utterly gorgeous. The moment she appeared, she attracted everyone's attention, but she was used to it. She was on a call with her Bluetooth earphones."Is El being good?""Hmm, he's alright," the man answered. An adult-like child voice rang out, "Mommy, I'm not a child. You don't have to worry about me."She was amused. "Alright, then take good care of your Uncle Caleb.""Okay," little Elvin Miller replied before handing the phone back to Caleb, who was next to him. His attention was once again on the computer.Caleb took a glance and was secretly stunned. He hadn't seen Elvin for a year, and yet his programming standards were already at such a high level. Elvin was soon going to steal his job. Caleb ruffled Elvin's head and asked Yvonne casually, "What are y

Yvonne had already left. Stephen frowned when he only saw random people walking around.Ariel put the little girl in the car and looked at where Stephen was looking. She was curious. "What are you looking at?""Nothing." Stephen turned and got in the car. Ariel didn't understand, so she looked around for a moment longer before getting in the car.In the backseat, Ariel was happily playing with the little girl. They got along very well. Stephen was seated in the front passenger seat with his eyes closed. He found it noisy, so he reminded her in a low voice, "Britney, be quiet.""Okay …" Britney pouted and obediently responded before burying herself in Ariel's arms. The journey was short, and Ariel tried to put Britney to sleep. Under the sunlight, she looked extremely adorable. However, at the thought of how the girl's origins were unknown and how it had something to do with Stephen, Ariel couldn't control her emotions. She was overwhelmed by jealousy.She'd initially thought that
