"Bitch, it's you! Don't think that I hadn't been able to recognize you just because it was dark that night!" Benjamin gripped Nadia's wrist tightly. "Let me tell you; I have keen eyesight! Come to the police station with me now! I want to sue you for intentional injury!" "What do you mean by 'intentional injury'? At most, I was just sorting out trash!" Nadia retorted and seized the moment to kick him in his private parts. Benjamin howled in pain. He instinctively let go of her hand and jumped to the back. "Bitch ... You're going to pay for this!"Nadia made a face at him and turned around to run away. However, she bumped into a group of wealthy women who'd come by to check on the situation. Regina stopped her. "Didn't I tell you to get some beverages? Why did you end up in a fight with someone?""Aunt Regina, he's a jerk! He took advantage of my friend at Euphoria Smith last time. I'd taught him a lesson, but he still doesn't seem to regret his actions! He even had the nerve to

The door was suddenly pushed open, startling everyone in the room.Stephen stepped into the room, as composed as ever. "Since we're resolving a conflict between the Andersons and the Dawsons, how can I not be around?"Noah straightened up and said faintly, "It's settled now. I don't think there's any need for you to get involved."Looking at Benjamin, who was still bowing, Stephen said, "Is this a show of sacrificing a family member for the sake of justice? I didn't expect you to become more and more unprincipled, Noah." Noah frowned. "What do you mean?""I mean exactly what I said." As soon as Stephen entered, he completely overshadowed Noah. He wasn't doing anything to conceal the aggressiveness he emanated. The atmosphere, which had been relatively harmonious until a moment ago, was now filled with tension. Yvonne was rendered speechless. She wondered if this banquet was going to end up as a place for the Andersons to confront each other. "Yvonne, I feel like these two m

As the car's window rolled down, Stephen's face came into view. He looked even frostier in the shadows. "Get in. I have something to ask you."Yvonne didn't move.With a frown, Stephen threatened her in a cold voice, "Either you get in yourself, or I'll come out and drag you in. Choose."Yvonne was rendered speechless. "He's still as unreasonable as before!" she thought. Sitting in the driver's seat, Stanley felt a tingling sensation traveling across his scalp. If he'd known something like this would happen, he wouldn't have told Stephen that Yvonne would be at the banquet with Rachel. Right now, Stanley could only hope that Yvonne wouldn't piss Stephen off, or else he'd be the one to suffer in the end. Thinking about this, Stanley sincerely invited Yvonne to get in the car. "Yvonne, let us drop you home. Weren't you going to hail a taxi anyway?"Out of consideration for Stanley, Yvonne reluctantly opened the door and got in. Thankfully, it was wide inside. She sat close to the

After being kicked out of the car, Yvonne smiled brightly and said to the people sitting inside, "If you want to buy the medicine again, I can refer you to someone, Mr. Anderson. They can help you get it." The next second, the Maybach sped away, almost causing Yvonne to lose her balance. She couldn't help but curse Stephen countless times in her heart for it. On the other hand, Stanley thought that Yvonne was the only person who dared to ruffle Stephen's feathers. Stanley remained silent the entire way, too afraid to utter a single word. He clenched the steering wheel tightly, and his palms began to sweat unconsciously.Just as he was about to let out a sigh of relief upon reaching the entrance of Oceania Villa, he heard Stephen's cold voice. "Was she lying?"Stanley didn't understand what he meant by that. "If she didn't care about me, why did she try so hard to give birth to my son? And why did I coincidentally find the perfect medication for my condition when I needed it the

After Noah returned to his room, Katie sat on the floor in despair for a long time. His words kept ringing in her head. Although the floor was cold, her body felt colder, and even her heart no longer bore any hints of warmth."So Noah won't marry me because I'm no match for Yvonne? How ridiculous! She's the country bumpkin who I've looked down on since I was a child!" Katie thought. It had never occurred to her that she would be so ruthlessly defeated one day. Then Katie shook her head violently, as though she were trying to get rid of the negative thoughts. No, she mustn't give up now. It wasn't over yet!…When Noah woke up the next day, Katie had already prepared breakfast and was waiting for him. "Are you okay?" he asked subconsciously as a hint of surprise flickered across his eyes. "Of course." Katie chuckled lightly. "What you said last night was right. It's true that Yvonne can give you more than I can at this moment. I know that you're working hard for Anderson Grou

Andy replied, "Don't even talk about it, boss. I was confined to the headquarters. Those people kept brainwashing me every single day." Although Andy was the real boss and chief designer of QT, he still addressed Yvonne as "boss." Over the years, Yvonne had only kept in contact with Andy via phone. After all, Emerald Group had sent him to deal with her. She didn't want to get too close to him, lest it put him in any trouble.Hearing that, Yvonne couldn't help feeling curious. "What happened? Did QT not perform well?" "Didn't you see the ranking for last year's jewelry sales in the country? QT was at the top!" Andy raised his voice, looking like a blue-feathered turkey with a strong fighting will. As the image popped into her mind, Yvonne nearly burst out laughing. She then cleared her throat and asked, "Then why were you confined?""Well, the leaders clearly aren't satisfied." Andy shrugged and curled up in the chair. "Miller Jewels' sales performance has been quite good thes

It wasn't Stephen's first time meeting Elvin, but he was still shocked by the kid's mature demeanor. Elvin was relatively cute; however, he always had a scowl on his face that made him seem unapproachable. "Britney misses you," Stephen replied, not showing any changes in his expression.Britney nodded fervently. "Yes. I haven't played with you in a long time, El." She looked at the kindergarten and asked curiously, "Is it fun here?"Elvin frowned, ignoring the little girl. To him, kindergarten was nothing more than a boring, childish place. How could it possibly be fun?Britney wasn't waiting for his answer either. She shifted her attention to Stephen and said, "Daddy, I want to study here too. I want to be with El!" "Copycat," Elvin muttered in displeasure, not bothering to conceal any of his hostility. Stephen raised his brows slightly, giving Julian a look. Julian understood him at once and immediately gave Elvin the two sets of toys in his hands. He'd done his research b

"Britney ..." Stephen wanted to use the same excuse again, but he swallowed back his words and suddenly turned grave. "How do you usually teach your child?"Yvonne was stunned, wondering what he meant by that. Then a pang of annoyance stirred up in her. "Are you saying that El isn't sensible?" After a moment's thought, he replied seriously, "He's too sensible."Then he thought, "What's the point of a child being so sensible? Isn't it good to be naive and innocent like Britney? Look at how likable she is." Yvonne couldn't understand what was going on in his head. "Is there something wrong with you? Are you here to start a fight on purpose?""Do you always talk badly about me in front of him?" Stephen asked."No. Just mentioning your name alone makes me feel ominous." Stephen raised his brows, looking like he was determined to get to the bottom of this. "Then, why does he hate me so much?""How would I know?"Until now, Yvonne had no clue when Elvin had found out about Stephe

Meanwhile, Yvonne had been driving with a sullen face after she'd returned to her car. Andy had been in the car the entire time and had seen what had happened outside the kindergarten just now. "Yvonne, why did Mr. Anderson look for Elvin?" he asked in a low voice."He knows that El is his son." "What?" Andy was shocked. "How could you let him know? Northena City isn't like overseas. The Andersons have a formidable presence here. If Mr. Anderson fights with you for Elvin, everything will be over.""He'd better not." Yvonne narrowed her eyes. If Stephen dared to do anything like that, she would never let him off the hook. She'd protected Elvin under his nose before, and she would do it again for the second time. Sensing the sudden fierceness in Yvonne's temperament, Andy swallowed his saliva nervously and forced out an awkward smile. "Of course, with your abilities, you can definitely compete against him." Yvonne didn't respond to him. She fell into deep thought, questioning

Ariel had been distracted since leaving Oceania Villa that day. She couldn't figure out what was going through Stephen's mind, and she didn't dare ask him about it out of fear that he'd get mad. Still, bottling everything up was making her feel uncomfortable. Hence, the only way she could vent was by working.In the remaining three days before joining the drama production crew, Ariel busied herself by filling her schedule with various activities. Even Katie had tried to make an appointment with Ariel several times but failed. Finally, she contacted Jodie instead. "Is Ariel very busy lately?" she typed. When Jodie received the message, she was at the studio, watching Ariel pose for a magazine's cover photos."Yes. Her schedule is packed," she replied. "Did something happen? I've been contacting her lately, and she doesn't seem to be in her best form," Katie asked soon after. After reading the message, Jodie flitted her eyes back to Ariel again, her brows furrowing. Ariel had b
