Yvonne answered the call. "Mr. Carrington, are you calling to ask about Mrs. Jenner?""Hmm." Otto smiled. He said rather bitterly, "I haven't been able to reach her for the past three days. So I had no choice but to look for you.""I barely see her more than twice a day, even though I live under the same roof as her, let alone you."Yvonne could smell the aroma of food in the air. She went over to the dining room to see some food on the table. There was a post-it note next to it too."I didn't dare to disturb you, but I took the liberty to make breakfast for you. If it has already turned cold, reheat it in the microwave."After reading the note, Yvonne touched the bowl. The temperature was just nice. She pulled up a chair and took a seat. "Mrs. Jenner has been busy changing her designs and making clothes. I'm afraid she won't have much time to call you."Then, Yvonne couldn't help but tease Otto, "You're not blaming me for taking advantage of your mother, are you?""Of course,
That night, Yvonne and Edith finally met in Miller Villa.When Edith entered with a bag of groceries and saw Yvonne sitting in the living area, she was a little surprised. "Are you not working in the studio today?""I'm getting some rest." Yvonne looked at the groceries in Edith's hand. "How did you even have the time to go get groceries?"Edith smiled and said, "It just came to my mind, so I went for a quick run to the store.""I'll come and help you." Yvonne got up and headed to the kitchen with Edith.Soon, the aroma of food wafted from the kitchen.While waiting for the soup to be ready, Edith wiped her hands and went over next to Yvonne. She asked hesitantly, "Ms. Miller, did you see the news?""Hmm?" Yvonne looked at her. "What news do you mean?""Just… entertainment news or some sort." Edith didn't want to put it so bluntly, so she pretended she didn't really understand much. "I heard the young people talking about some young celebrity marrying into a rich family or
At the same time, Naomi's team was extremely anxious. They held an emergency meeting through the night.Naomi sobbed anxiously. "I-I… I don't know what happened. M-My phone broke on its own."Her assistant was helpless. "Stop crying. Now that things have come to this, what's the point of you crying?""I-I'm telling the truth. I was still using my phone to watch the news in the afternoon. Then, all of a sudden, a series of codes appeared!"Naomi thought back about how she hadn't been able to control her phone. She was frightened. "It was as if my phone were being controlled by someone else. It opened the app and took screenshots. It was terrifying!""The technicians are already dealing with your phone. We'll see who's messing with you." Her assistant sighed. "But, even if we find out who it was, it's pointless. The company just called me."Naomi grabbed her assistant's hand. "Does the company have a solution?"The assistant looked away, not daring to look into Naomi's hopeful
There were a series of rear-end crashes on the highway in the morning rush hour. There had been cars in total, and it had created a huge traffic jam.The driver returned to the car to report the situation to Stephen. "The traffic police said that we would only be able to leave after an hour. "Mr. Anderson, I've already contacted another car to come and pick you up."Stephen looked out of the window in silence.Julian was curious. "Sir, what are you thinking about?""Cancel my schedule for these two days.""What?" Julian was a little stunned. "Why?""Take me straight to the hospital.""What?" Julian was baffled. He followed Stephen's gaze. Paramedics were carrying an injured man on a stretcher to an ambulance.Julian was worried. "Mr. Anderson, are you hurt somewhere? Do you feel ill? I'll get a doctor to check on you right away."He was about to get out of the car when Stephen snapped in annoyance, "I'm fine. Just do what I said."… In less than half an hour, the accident
Inside, only a warm lamp by the nightstand was on.When she saw the figure lying on the bed, Yvonne couldn't help but stop in her tracks. Perhaps it had been too long since she had seen him; she suddenly felt a little timid.Back then, she left with such determination and hadn't even left behind a single message. She didn't know if Stephen hated her, since he hadn't contacted her in the past six months.At first, she had been a little resentful, but when she saw the scars on her body, she felt that perhaps it was a good thing for Stephen to be so heartless as not to look for her.After all, she looked terrible. How was she worthy enough for him?Thinking back to that time, it truly had been the darkest and most pessimistic time of her life.Perhaps it was her low self-esteem, but during that time, she hadn't even dared to look at any news about Stephen. All she did was dream about him over and over again.At that moment, she was standing five steps away from him, yet she didn'
At that moment, Yvonne was already on the plane to the border. Once the plane landed, she walked out of the terminal in her high heels and saw Calbert waiting by the car in the distance.She went up to him and asked, "What did you mean on the phone?""Come with me and you'll see."As Calbert got back into the car, Yvonne opened the back passenger seat and got in too.Calbert slammed on the gas pedal, and the SUV sped forward. An hour later, they reached their destination.Yvonne got out of the car. She looked over to see the wilderness in front of her. The wind blew by, creating a little storm of dust."Why did you bring me here?""This is the border of the land." Calbert went forward. "I'm taking you to see something."Yvonne was perplexed. She hesitated for a while before following him.They went through thickets, one in front of the other. Calbert suddenly stopped in his tracks and pointed ahead with his chin.Yvonne looked ahead to see two graves, one big and one smal
Since she was already at the border, Yvonne wasn't in a rush to leave. She prepared to stay for a few days and headed over to the market to get some gemstones.While she had been making her jewelry, she had realized she was missing some gemstones. This was a good chance for her to get them all.Thus, Yvonne hung around the gemstone market for a few days straight.Charlotte was grateful to Yvonne for helping her in the past, so she accompanied Yvonne to look for quality and inexpensive gemstones.That day, while Charlotte wasn't around, Yvonne helped check up on Betty's eyes.After the check, Yvonne said nothing for some time. Betty seemed to have realized something. She held Yvonne's hand and smiled benevolently at the latter, consoling her, "Miss, I'm old. It doesn't matter whether I can see or not. You don't have to waste your time on me.""I'm sorry." Yvonne felt apologetic. "I'm not good enough.""It's fine. You don't have to apologize to me. If it hadn't been for you ba
Yvonne's gaze darkened. She didn't turn around.Calbert immediately stood up. He looked at Jane coldly. "You're not welcome here.""Why?" Jane crossed her arms in front of her chest. She pointed at the market with her chin. "The market is open to all. Do they select customers?""Customers?" Calbert sneered. "You're not here to look for gemstones. You're here to look for trouble.""This is where you're wrong. I'm really here today to buy something. I just never thought that I would meet her here."Jane looked at Yvonne's back and sneered. "What? You were still so cocky back then at the bar, but you don't even dare to face me now. Or do you only dare to see other people at night?"She paused for a while before continuing sarcastically, "Are you so ugly that you don't dare to show your face during the day?"Calbert glared at Jane. "Watch your mouth."If they hadn't been in the bustling market, and if he hadn't wanted to attract any attention, he would have already slapped Jane u
