The moment Jane got in the car, she took her anger out on Chuck. "I thought you were great at torturing women. Why do you look like a coward in front of Yvonne? Are you a man or what?"Chuck was speechless. "Ms. Ford, I warned you—""All you know how to do is talk. I want you to stand up for me. "Didn't you see how arrogant Yvonne was? She doesn't even respect my grandfather. This won't do." The more Jane spoke, the angrier she got. "If I don't teach her a lesson, she'll really think that she's truly amazing!""You …" Chuck opened his mouth, but he swallowed his words back down halfway. Clearly, Jane wasn't going to listen to him. Why should he waste his breath?He started the engine and drove away silently.On the way home, no matter how terrible Jane's words were, he said nothing. He let her release her anger.When they reached the mansion, Jane was still furious. She slammed the door shut so hard that the car shook.Chuck helplessly followed behind her. His phone sudd
That night, Jane was bored in the mansion, so she borrowed Chuck's car and drove to the bar. She had invited a few of Anderson Group's employees out for a drink so she could get some gossip about the company. At the entrance, Jane handed the keys to the valet. Right at this moment, James' voice rang out from behind her. "Young lady, is that you?"Jane turned around to look at James. "Why are you here?""I'm a regular patron here." James went up to her. "You, on the other hand, are a young lady. It's not safe for you at a bar."Jane snickered and looked at him condescendingly. "You have no right to care for me. Who the hell are you?"James was baffled. How rude! Jane took two steps forward before turning around and asking, "Is Stephen with you?"James seized his chance and mimicked her tone. "Who the hell are you? You have no right to ask where Stephen is."Then, he puffed up his chest and walked into the bar.Jane was speechless. Why would Stephen be friends with someone l
Half an hour later, Stephen came out of the room. When he saw Jane standing by the corridors, he stopped in his tracks.Jane smiled, about to greet him. But he turned around and headed in the opposite direction. Her smile stiffened. She furiously stomped her feet and chased after Stephen. "Stephen, we're friends. You should greet me when you see me, right?""We are not friends," Stephen said coldly, not even looking at her.Jane went forward and blocked his path. "Stephen, you better watch your behavior while I'm still nice to you!""Ms. Ford." Stephen furrowed his brows, clearly annoyed. "From the moment I realized you set me up, you and I were no longer even acquaintances. We're just strangers. "I didn't come after you because you gave me a very good lead. So let's call it even. I want nothing to do with you.""I …" Jane knew she was in the wrong, but she still said arrogantly, "This is what it takes to pursue a man. How could I not resort to tricks? I’m just—""Just st
They got into the car together. The driver gave them space and got out of the car to smoke.When Stephen opened the bag, the aroma of food wafted throughout the entire car.Yvonne ate a few chicken wings before saying, "Once I'm abroad, please look after Conan. He's a little simple-minded. "There are many things he still doesn't quite know. I'm afraid Chuck might take advantage of him."Yvonne had realized that she should talk to Stephen about it after the meeting that day.Although Chuck was cautious around her at that moment, she couldn’t guarantee that he wouldn’t go after Conan once she left."Let's put aside the fact that Conan is your younger brother. Could you do it for me? Could you secretly help him?"Stephen was in no rush to respond when he heard Yvonne’s request. He took a piece of tissue and passed it to her.Yvonne was a little stunned. She was about to accept the tissue from Stephen when he grabbed her by the wrist."Let me do it." Under the lights, Stephen l
The day Elvin started school, Yvonne left Qynea. Stephen dropped Elvin at the gates of the kindergarten. When he saw Elvin looking up at the blue sky, he asked, "Are you missing Mommy?""She's left to do great things," Elvin said before retracting his gaze as if he had made up his mind. He walked inside.Stephen looked at Elvin and smiled. He understood what Elvin meant. Elvin was indeed missing Yvonne, but he knew that she had gone to do something important. Hence, he wouldn’t admit that he missed her.He might be a small kid, but he was truly mature. Stephen looked up at the blue sky pensively. He would have to delay his plans to leave Qynea. He had to stay with Elvin for some time, at least until the latter got used to staying at Oceania Villa. Yvonne had entrusted Elvin to him. No matter what, he couldn’t let her down. Furthermore, he could take this opportunity to get closer to Elvin. Stephen raised an eyebrow in thought. That had been the main reason he had reque
After returning to the mansion, Yvonne caught up with Jim for a while before getting him to go to bed early.Yvonne went into her room and took a shower. She became much more awake. She took her phone downstairs, planning to make herself a cup of coffee and send Stephen a message."I've reached safely. How is Elvin adjusting to Oceania Villa?"Stephen replied quickly. "Other than Britney constantly sticking to him the entire day, I think he's adjusting just fine."Yvonne couldn't help but smile. She could perfectly imagine how helpless Elvin would look when facing Britney.Stephen added, "It should be almost dawn at your side. Why are you still not resting?"Yvonne looked out of the window. Sure enough, the sun was coming up."In any case, it's almost morning. If I sleep now, I don't think I'll be able to wake up. I'll just not sleep."After sending the message, Yvonne poured herself a cup of coffee. The aroma energized her a little.Stephen asked, "Are you nervous about going
After breakfast, they headed to Hope Health Services' headquarters.Jim's mansion was near the headquarters. The infirmary was on the west side of a man-made lake.Most of the clients in the infirmary had met Jim before, but they only knew about Yvonne through the news online.When Jim and Yvonne reached the infirmary, many clients went up to greet Jim. Soon, the two were surrounded."This must be Ms. Yvonne Miller, Hope's boss. We've been here so many times, yet this is the first time we finally get to meet!""Look at Jim! With Yvonne by his side, he seems much happier!""Jim has always said he has an exceptional granddaughter. Did he mean Ms. Miller?"Jim was smiling so widely that his eyes were squinting. "What? Don't we look related?""Yes, you do! You're good-looking, and your granddaughter's beautiful!""You're such a sweet talker!"Some of them laughed. It was a lively atmosphere. Before arriving at the infirmary, Yvonne had already gone through all of their profiles
Jim took Yvonne to a pavilion by the lake. He pointed at a man below a huge tree in the distance. "That's Kendrick Beck over there."Yvonne looked over to see a man lying under the tree with a book over his head."I don't think that he likes to read," Jim said. "I've always seen him with that book. Sometimes, he has it upside down too. I'm guessing he's only using it to block the sun."Yvonne chuckled. "That's interesting. Don't you think so?""Once you see him, you won't find him interesting anymore. He has a strange character. His looks are quite scary too …" Jim shook his head and continued, "Not exactly scary, just … creepy."He had talked about Kendrick with a few clients in private. They all said that he looked like a demon from hell. Kendrick looked clean, but every time they walked past him, they could smell blood on him.Jim was about to say something else when he saw Yvonne striding over to the tree. "Hey, wait for him to wake up." Jim didn't dare to talk too loud b
