The Anderson family was the most prominent family in Northerna City. Hence, the news of Elizabeth's death naturally spread like wildfire.Yvonne had just given Elvin clothes for him to change into when she received a series of voice messages from Rachel. She played the first. "Mrs. Anderson Senior has passed away! The Anderson family …"Yvonne immediately paused it halfway through and turned around subconsciously to spare a glance at her son, who was changing his clothes obediently. After making sure that he hadn't heard the news, she let out a sigh of relief and turned the rest of the voice messages into texts. The Andersons would be holding a funeral service for Elizabeth for seven days at Northena Memorial Garden. At that time, all the members of the Anderson family would show up. It was said that Harry— Philip and Elizabeth's youngest son, who'd run away from home—would come back too. It seemed like the Andersons would have some heated days coming up soon. Yvonne didn't kno

It had been raining non-stop in Northena City since the day Elizabeth passed away. There were lines of luxury cars parked outside Northerna Memorial Garden. The atmosphere seemed even more gloomy with the sorrowful music being played in the background. Although it was already the third day of the funeral service, a lot of people still came over to give their condolences to the family. Everyone wore solemn expressions on their faces. When they met the family of the deceased, some of them even looked like they were about to cry.The funeral ended up serving as a chance for upper-class society to get close to the Andersons. It was as if the Andersons were going to acknowledge them just because they'd come to give their condolences to them.Stephen was sick of seeing how pretentious these people could be. Just as he was about to turn around and enter the room, the butler's voice came through. "Mr. Harry!"Everyone in the mourning hall looked at the door. Right then, a long-haire

It was dead silence in the other room of the mourning hall. The pregnant woman stood up and introduced herself. "I'm Brenda Sanchez, Harry's wife. We—"Before she could finish speaking, a cold sneer interrupted her. Brenda looked at Charles, neither showing a humble nor an arrogant attitude. "You're Charles, right? Harry speaks about his family often. He still misses everyone, although he's overseas—""Enough. It's not your place to talk here." With a long face, Charles turned to Harry and said, "Dad isn't around today. You'd better deal with this woman fast and drive her away.""Brenda is my wife," Harry replied without any changes in his expression. "Since I've brought her back, I'm prepared to face everything. If you really can't accept her, then we'll leave together once the funeral ends." As soon as Harry finished speaking, Charles slammed his hand on the table. "You're going to leave again? Do you see Anderson Mansion as a hotel? It's your home, and we're your closest ki

Benjamin quickly pulled Ariel's hand just as she was about to run away. "Ariel, don't run. I have something—" A loud slap cut off his words. Shivering, Ariel glared at him with reddened eyes. "Never show up in front of me again! I have nothing to say to you!" To show his sincerity, Benjamin quickly released her and raised both hands in the air as if he were surrendering. "You're going to marry into the family soon. Do you really want our relationship to stay like this? I mean, I'm going to be your brother-in-law, right? And you, my future sister-in-law." Ariel instantly returned to her senses once he pointed out their relationship. Indeed, she would marry Stephen soon, and meeting Benjamin was unavoidable. If they continued like this, it would only make Stephen suspicious. Enduring her fear, Ariel took two steps back. "What … What do you want to say?" "I just want to tell you that it's been eight years. Can we—" "Shut up!" Ariel shouted hysterically but quickly realized how

Yvonne had never wanted to be involved in any of the Anderson family's matters. Therefore, she remained silent throughout the whole funeral service. Unexpectedly, trouble came knocking at her door. It was a text from Old Jim stating that the Dawsons had given an order asking for a doctor in the shortest time possible. He'd remembered that Yvonne was in Northena, and the pay was high. Hence, he'd arranged for Yvonne to take on the case. Since the Dawnsons needed a doctor at such a weird time, Yvonne couldn't help but think that it was related to the Andersons. As she was hesitating, Old Jim sent over the commission for this case, which was 20 million dollars. Instantly, her qualms about taking this case disappeared. No one would give up an opportunity to make more money. Moreover, Miller Jewels was expanding and needed funds. That was her motivation to take the case.The following day, Yvonne checked the surveillance to find Curtis and Lloyd playing with Elvin. With this software

"Lead the way." Yvonne was about to enter Dawson Manor when the teenager stopped her once again."You can't let my dad know that you're a doctor!" The girl's complexion turned slightly pale. "J—just say something like—""My company and Dawson Corporation were set to discuss a business deal some time ago. I wasn't able to contact Ms. Dawson during the past few days, so I specifically came over to visit her."Yvonne came up with a reasonable excuse on the spot. The girl's expression lit up in return. "Wow! That's it! You're so smart! Yes, let's go with that!""What's your name?" the older woman asked."I'm Nadia Dawson. You can just call me Nadia.""Got it, Nadia. Now, lead the way.""Alright!" Nadia took the lead happily and led Yvonne into the mansion. "Dad, someone's here to talk business!"Nadia's father, Bernard Dawson, shot up to his feet in the living room. "What on earth are you doing? Didn't I tell you to—"Just as he was about to lecture his daughter, the man happened

Half an hour ticked by after Yvonne had entered Regina's room, yet there weren't any movements or noises coming from within. Bernard was starting to grow impatient as he waited for Yvonne outside the room. Nadia quickly stopped him just as he was about to knock on the door."Dad, don't be rude! Didn't that lady tell you to wait for her to come out?""You little—" Bernard turned to glare at his daughter. He pointed out suspiciously, "You've been acting weird today. Why did you insist on sticking your nose into the adults' matters?""W—well, I—" Nadia looked down at her feet without realizing it; her heart was filled with guilt. "You never cared about Aunt Regina, so I got scared. Dad, why didn't you hire a doctor for—"The man covered his daughter's mouth hastily. "Don't spout nonsense!"At that moment, Yvonne opened the door and happened to witness the scene unfolding before her eyes. Her red lips curled into a small smile as she asked, "What are you two doing?""N—nothing!" Bern

Yvonne received a text from Nadia the next day. It appeared that Regina had already regained consciousness, but she was in a very bad mood and refused to eat or drink at all. Yvonne pitied the poor woman and had prepared some pills for her in advance, so she asked Nadia to drop by Miller Tower for them.The teenager showed up outside Yvonne's office at 4 pm sharp. Soon, Yvonne handed the pills to Nadia. "Tell your aunt to take these pills twice a day. She should only take one pill at a time. The effects should kick in after taking them for two consecutive days."Nadia accepted the pills happily. "Got it! Thanks, Yvonne!""Your aunt did suffer from emotional heartbreak at the end of the day. Medicine alone won't be able to cure her illness. You need to advise Ms. Dawson to let the whole matter slide. Her current social status and wealth will definitely make the task of finding herself a good husband a lot easier, after all."Upon hearing Yvonne's advice, Nadia widened her eyes in su

Nadia got into the cab after leaving Miller Tower. She watched the music video on repeat with her earphones plugged in and a smile etched on her face the whole time.Now that she'd watched the visualized draft of the music video, she eagerly looked forward to the official video. The music video was bound to make huge waves on the internet once it was uploaded. Even though Nadia was Jax's loyal fan, she had the urge to become Yvonne's fan instead."Yvonne, I seriously appreciate how pretty you are! Ugh, I don't want to remain Jax's fan anymore! Let me become your fan! From now on, I'll be your biggest fan ever!" Naomi texted her happily after getting out of the cab.Once she was done, she slipped her phone into her pocket and walked into Dawson Manor while humming a tune. Nadia made a beeline for the staircase right away. However, she heard Bernard shouting at her, prompting her to turn around in bafflement while taking out her earphones. "What's wrong, Dad?""I should be the one

When Yvonne received a dinner invitation from Nadia, she thought that it was a good opportunity for her to check Regina's vitals and see how she was recovering. Hence, she accepted the invitation right away.After arriving at the restaurant they were supposed to meet at, Yvonne stepped into the private room right on the dot. Both Nadia and Regina were waiting for her in the private room.Nadia quickly introduced Yvonne to her aunt. "Aunt Regina, this is Yvonne Miller, the woman I told you about. She's super pretty, right? I wasn't exaggerating at all!""Yes." Regina flashed Yvonne a gentle smile while eyeing her up and down. "She's definitely gorgeous."Yvonne chuckled softly. "Ms. Dawson, please don't take Nadia's words seriously.""You're not giving yourself enough credit, Ms. Miller. I've always thought that Nadia was a pretty unreliable girl, but now that I've met you in person, I've realized that she has a good eye for beauty."Regina then raised a hand as a gesture for the
