Yvonne texted: "Simone, send me your location."After receiving Simone's location, she immediately entered the address on the navigation device in her car. "Before going home, I want to go to this place."Stephen looked at the address. It was a famous five-star hotel in Northerna City. The wealthy often held parties there."Why do you want to go there?""To see someone," Yvonne said before leaning back and closing her eyes. Clearly, she didn't want to explain further.Stephen hesitated for a while before starting the engine and driving according to the navigation.Half an hour later, they arrived outside the hotel.Yvonne unbuckled her seatbelt and got out of the car. She headed in with her high heels clicking behind her.Stephen quickly followed her. He had a strange feeling that she was there to settle the score with someone.Simone had been waiting for Yvonne for a long time. When she saw Yvonne outside the banquet hall, she immediately went up to her. "Yvonne, you'll s
Stephen was just about to say something when Yvonne took a step forward and tugged at the hem of the red dress.She lowered her gaze and said nonchalantly, "Yes, I am that petty. Which is why you can dream of wearing this dress."Before Jane could react, she heard fabric tearing. She lowered her gaze to see a pocketknife in Yvonne's hand. Yvonne had made a huge cut on the hem!The cut wasn't big enough to expose her body, but the dress was truly ruined!Jane was bewildered. She shoved Yvonne away. "You're a lunatic!""You were the one who took it without any permission. It's annoying to see you wear it." Yvonne put the pocketknife away and took a check out from her bag. "I might be petty when it comes to relationships, but I'm generous when it comes to money. This is compensation for your dress."Yvonne added, "By the way, if I may say something … A dress that isn't for you and a man who isn't for you are the same thing." She smirked. "You don't deserve it, no matter how
Yvonne's face was a little flushed under the lights. She looked animated when she was angry.Stephen's heart fluttered. He suddenly had the strong urge not to take her home. He grabbed her by the hand and led her to the car. "Let me take you somewhere. I'll explain the entire matter with the dress when we get there."Yvonne was a little perplexed. "Where are you taking me to?"Stephen didn't answer here. Just like that, Yvonne was once again stuffed into the passenger seat of the car.Stephen drove for about half an hour, passing through the bustling city to a secluded suburb before going up a hilly road.Yvonne was leaning against the rolled-down window. She mumbled, "Stephen, it's only a dress. You don't have to murder because of it, right?"Stephen was perplexed. She had gotten some fresh air, but she seemed even more drunk.When the car stopped, Yvonne realized that they were on the top of a hill with no name. Stephen got out of the car. "Get down and look at the scenery
Despite the strong night breeze, Yvonne could only hear her own heart beating wildly.She lay on the hood of the car. Through her half-closed eyes, she could see stars interspersed in the night sky. It was romantic as hell.Stephen was breathing heavily in her ears. "Yvonne, let's get back together. I can't wait any longer."His hand reached up her skirt while talking.Yvonne frantically grabbed his hand. "Hold up."Stephen stopped and looked at Yvonne through furrowed brows. His gaze was filled with suppressed desire and some impatience at being interrupted.Yvonne gulped. She tried to collect her thoughts. "I can't give you an answer right now. I'm sure you know that I had some drinks tonight. I even caused a scene in front of Jane. M-My mind isn't really clear right now," Yvonne explained.She sneakily moved up the car hood, seemingly trying to escape from Stephen's clutches.Unexpectedly, he grabbed her by the ankles and pulled her back. Yvonne had nowhere to escape. Sh
Jane returned to Chuck's mansion in a huff. The moment she entered, she kicked off her high heels.Coincidentally, Chuck had just come downstairs to get some water. He asked casually, "Who pissed you off?""Yvonne Miller!" Jane yelled through gritted teeth.Seeing how furious she was, Chuck was so amused that he chuckled.Jane got even more furious. She placed her hands on her hips and glared at Chuck. "What are you laughing at?""Nothing."Chuck walked down the stairs and headed to the kitchen. He said, "I told you a long time ago not to mess with Yvonne. Now that you've learned your lesson, it's time you should listen to me, right?""I just didn't expect …" Jane trailed off. It was humiliating, no matter what she said. All the anger bubbling up in her wouldn't go away on its own.She followed behind Chuck and mocked him condescendingly, "How dare you laugh at me? Who was the one who got beaten up badly by her and needed me to save him?""I'm just telling you this as someone
A month passed by just like that. It seemed that time passed by even faster when one had a busy life.It was less than a week before Noah's final court session.That afternoon, William brought a man in a suit to the detention center.William timidly walked in front of that man. He constantly felt a chill running down his back. At that moment, he was still completely perplexed as to why Noah would insist on seeing such a dangerous person at such a time.However, this had been Noah's only request. As his father, this was the most William could do. For the past few days, he had tried to contact Emerald Group to bring Mark over.In order to sneak Mark into the detention center, William had lied to the police and said that he was a lawyer. He was still feeling a little sheepish about it. At that moment, he had mixed feelings.Without realizing it, William entered the room and soon saw Noah, who was escorted into the room by the police."Noah, I brought you the man you wanted to
The date for Noah's last hearing was approaching.Yvonne was worried that Elvin would feel the pressure of being a witness in court, so she spent time with him practicing his testimony while boosting his confidence too."Don't worry. This is the last time. The law won't let Noah off the hook. From tomorrow onward, you won't have to see him anymore."Elvin nodded and looked at Yvonne. "Mommy, after this ends, can you and the evil man take me out to play?""Hmm?" Yvonne narrowed her eyes. She leaned in closer to him. "You want to go out to play, or is there something else?""I …" Elvin felt a little sheepish. "I just want to have some fun."Yvonne looked at Elvin for a while before patting him on the head. "Alright. I'll ask him.""Awesome!" Elvin could hardly contain his joy. He awkwardly smiled at Yvonne.Yvonne was amused. Elvin was clearly trying to set her and Stephen up. She guessed that Stephen's hard work all this time must have paid off. Elvin's impression of Steph
As soon as the trial was over, news of Noah's sentence spread like wildfire. Every major media outlet was scrambling to report on it while the people on the internet cheered with joy."Although it's not a full-on death penalty, at least it's a good explanation for everyone!""I have to admit. Noah's defense attorney is great. Noah could actually escape the full death penalty.""Those who understand the case in detail know that if it hadn't been pressure from the public and Anderson Group's team of kick-ass lawyers, Noah would most likely only have been sentenced to 10 years of prison.""What Noah got is quite serious. At least he'll rot in prison. Even if he really manages to get released, he no longer has any power or reputation. Do you think he could stand that?"The discussion online was heated, but Jane was paying attention to a different matter. She looked at the photos online and squinted her eyes. Yvonne hadn't taken her son to court on her own. How strange.What could b
