Conan said calmly, "I want to see Stephen."Julian furrowed his brows. "Mr. Anderson isn't available to see you now. Please go."Conan was stunned. He asked stiffly, "Hasn't he been looking for me?""He was looking for you before." Julian didn't want to explain too much to him, so he chased him away. "Please leave. I won't let you see him."Conan pressed on. "What happened to Stephen?""Just go."Seeing Julian retreating, Conan immediately stepped forward, but the door was slammed in his face, leaving him bewildered. The night before, Conan had mentally prepared himself and thought about all the scenarios that could happen when he faced Stephen. He'd mustered up the courage to head over to Oceania Villa, only to … have the door slammed in his face! He hadn't even seen Stephen yet!Conan looked up with curiosity. What did Stephen mean by this?When Julian returned to the room, he saw Stephen was already sitting up and looking at the iPad. Julian was stunned and frantically ran

The entire Anderson family was in chaos, yet Stephen didn't show up at all. In a fit of rage, Philip took Charles and Camille to Oceania Villa.On the way there, Camille sent a message to Yvonne saying that Conan had been taken hostage by Stephen at Oceania Villa. When they arrived, it was already past midnight. Philip led the group, so no one dared to stop him. Julian retreated to the living area. "I've already said it on the phone. Mr. Anderson didn't see Conan, let alone take him hostage."Camille wouldn't listen to him and immediately yelled up toward the staircase. "Stephen. Come out now! You didn't have the guts to go to Anderson Mansion because you have a guilty conscience, right?"Stop yelling!" Tabitha went to stop Camille. "There's a child at home! You'll scare her!"Camille continued yelling, "Stephen! Come out now! Return Conan to me! What you're doing is evil, and you'll definitely get what you deserve!"Upstairs, Stephen put on a robe and walked out of the room w

In the end, Charles led Camille away while she continued to cry and yell. Before Philip left, he looked at Stephen for a while. "Stephen, remember, we don't kill each other in this family."There was no way Philip would have said this if he trusted Stephen.Stephen remained silent as he watched them leave. Julian went over to Stephen. "Sir, after I received their call, I went to the security room to check on the footage. I found out that part of the footage data is missing. Conan didn't appear in the footage. Do you think he could still be here?"Seeing how Stephen didn't respond, Julian lowered his head. "I shouldn't have gone to check on my own …""Go and find out." Stephen said coldly, "No matter what their intentions are for taking Conan away, they're trying to pin the blame on me."After all, Conan had vanished after coming to Oceania Villa. The people behind it must have prepared for a long time to have executed it so well. Those people weren't after Conan. They were aft

They were very close to each other, and their eyes met. Yvonne could see all the emotions in Stephen's eyes. The anger, disappointment, and grievances—all these emotions suddenly made the usually aloof and cold Stephen seem a little warmer.Yvonne was a little in a daze. She somehow found this version of Stephen a little adorable. At that moment, he looked like a huge dog who'd gotten hurt. Who could stand that?People with flawless skin were deceiving!She was just about to say something when someone knocked on the door."Stephen, are you inside? Can I go in?""Ms. Clarke, Mr. Anderson is still resting …" Julian was sweating profusely. Who would have thought Stephen's fiancée would come looking for him right after his ex-wife had just entered the room? They would be caught red-handed!Inside the room, Yvonne tried to break free once more, but Stephen grabbed hold of her hand tightly.Yvonne was baffled. He was still a sick person. How could he still be so strong?"Julian will

That night, it rained heavily in Northerna City.Just as Yvonne was still thinking of a way to contact Mark, the doorbell rang. Lloyd opened the door to see a figure lying on the ground outside the gates. He quickly went out in the rain to have a look. He flipped the person over and instantly exclaimed, "Ms. Yvonne! Curtis!"Yvonne and Curtis heard him and went over. When they saw who it was, they were stunned.Conan was passed out on the ground, and his face was covered in blood!Yvonne bent down to do a simple check-up. Just by touching him, she could feel there were a few broken bones. Who knew what other hidden injuries he'd suffered?"Call an ambulance!" Under such circumstances, he had to be sent to the hospital for a radiograph!…At the hospital, Yvonne stood in the corridor, watching as the medical staff took Conan for a CT scan. The breeze that blew by was extremely cold. She couldn't stop shivering.Curtis carefully put a jacket on her. "He'll be fine."Yvonne said

Yvonne still wanted to retort when Stephen's voice rang out nearby. "No need to look for me. I'm here."Everyone looked at Stephen coming over without any expression on his face. He stood next to Yvonne, protecting her subtly, and said in a low voice, "I didn't do this to Conan."Camille rushed over to him and raised her hand, about to slap Stephen, but he grabbed her by the wrist."I'd admit to it if I'd done it, but I didn't do it, so don't even think of putting the blame on me."Then, he shoved Camille back and cast her a cold glance as she fell into Charles' arm.Charles was furious. "If it wasn't you, who would have done this?""I'm still looking into it." Stephen said calmly, "I was afraid that those men would come after Yvonne and her son, so I arranged for people to guard Miller Villa. Tonight, they dropped Conan off and ran, but my men have already gone after them."Stephen had received news from his men, which was why he'd rushed over to the hospital. He was afraid tha

After making sure that Conan's life wasn't in danger, Yvonne and Curtis returned to Miller Villa.Stephen watched them drive off in the rain. Soon after, he received a call from Julian."Sir, our men lost them, but we checked the surveillance footage. The car came out of an abandoned factory. We found the weapons at the crime scene too."While talking to Stephen, Julian looked up at the metal chain hanging high above. He could roughly make out the blood stains on it. He felt a chill run down his back. "I've already contacted the police to come and collect fingerprints.""Hmm." Stephen looked at the gloomy sky, his expression matching it. He didn't have much hope, even though he was investigating it. Those men had done a thorough job. They wouldn't have left such obvious clues as fingerprints. Even if they had, he still might not be able to get to the most important person, the maniac who terrified Yvonne. …A week had passed,and Conan had recovered enough to finally communicate

That night, it was Camille's turn to head home to Anderson Mansion to rest.The moment she entered, Hazel approached her. "I heard Coonan wanted to see Yvonne alone?"Camille looked at her. "How did you know?" Hazel replied with a smile, "I have eyes at the hospital. I'm worried about Conan too, so I got someone to check up on him. I don't mean anything else by this."Camille didn't believe her. She looked away and ignored Hazel. Hazel continued, "Don't you think it's a little strange that Conan insisted on seeing Yvonne after getting beaten up? Could this have anything to do with Yvonne?"Camille was instantly infuriated. "Hazel, if you're mad that you lost to Yvonne, go after her on your own. Don't try to provoke me into dealing with her for you. Let me tell you, anyone could have hurt Conan, but not Yvonne!"Then, Camille left in a huff, leaving Hazel in a daze.What had happened? Why was Camille being so nice to Yvonne?…That night, hackers got into Hopeful Faith's pla

Meanwhile, in Oceania Villa, Stephen was about to leave the house with Britney in his arms when he bumped into Ariel. Ariel was stunned, and she subconsciously asked, "Are you two going to Miller Villa?"Stephen furrowed his brows, and his guard went up. Ariel sensed that she'd misspoken. She quickly added, "I heard that Conan's incident had something to do with Yvonne. I just thought that you'd be looking for her to figure it out."Stephen didn't buy her explanation. He was silent for a while before responding, "Hmm."Britney couldn't see the changes in the adults' reactions. She happily said, "Aunt Ariel, we're going to find El!"Ariel smiled gently. "Is that so?"Britney nodded and invited her without any hesitation. "Do you want to come along?"Ariel was a little taken aback. She looked at Stephen. Clearly, he would never agree to her going there. Besides, why would she go with them? To see Stephen showing concern for Yvonne?Ariel felt bitter, but she smiled and said, "

Stephen entered and noticed the food and only two sets of cutlery on the dining table. He instantly frowned. "Only you two are eating?" Stephen asked."Yes." Yvonne didn't think too much about it. After all, eating was such a simple matter. She didn't need to explain to him that Curtis and the others had already had their breakfast. Not to mention that the food on the table was a result of Caleb's sudden urge to cook since he hadn't cooked for her for a long time.However, the breakfast did seem a little too much.She asked casually, "Have you and Britney eaten? Do you want to have some together?""Sure," Stephen said. Before Yvonne could react, he was already seated at the dining table.Yvonne was speechless. Was Stephen that hungry?Caleb went over to Yvonne and smiled. "Let's go; didn't you say you wanted to try my cooking?"Stephen's frown deepened. Caleb had made all the food. Cooking for Yvonne was something a little too flirtatious for him.Stephen grabbed Yvonne by
