Chapter 158 A Scheming Woman
Ariel was a little stunned. She didn't respond."I'm sure Ms. Jones has told you everything about Stephen?" Xavier smiled. "The great Stephen Anderson with an ugly woman. How do you think that looks? Only you are a perfect match for him. We don't know what love potion Stephen has taken, but he's smitten by her."Xavier turned and continued, saying with a smile, "Ms. Clarke, you understand Stephen the best. Do you think that that woman has some leverage over him?"Ariel was stunned. She'd never thought of that! "I've interacted with her before. She's extremely scheming and manipulative. She's not an easy one." Xavier looked at Ariel even more intensely. He smiled wider."If you'd listened to me and returned to the country sooner and become the spokesperson for Robinson Jewels the day Miller Jewels launched their new product, your fame would've overshadowed Miller Jewels. Then she wouldn't have been sitting there so comfortably right now."Then Xavier passed his business card to A
Chapter 159 Katie Had Lied to Her
In the end, Yvonne didn't meet Ariel at the jewelry exhibition.However, her face had been etched into Yvonne's mind. She looked even prettier in person than in the photos. She looked like someone who'd walked out of a painting and had an extremely delicate beauty that would make any man naturally want to protect her. Even a woman like Yvonne had a crush on her for a moment, let alone a man. So, this was the type of woman that Stephen liked.Yvonne was completely different from Ariel. She was the trusty sidekick who protected the princess."What are you thinking about?"Andy's voice pulled her out of her reverie. "Nothing.""You've been weird since you returned from the exhibition," Andy muttered. He'd caught Yvonne staring into space for no reason multiple times that day.Yvonne kicked him. "Are you back to enter the market? Why are you here at Rachel's home every day?"Andy rolled to the other side of the couch. "What's the hurry? I've seen the exhibition, and judging by tha
Chapter 160 I Didn't Lie to Her
After dinner, Xavier drove Andy back to the hotel.As soon as Andy disappeared from sight, Xavier's expression turned cold as he looked at Kayla, who was sitting beside him. "How did you offend Andy? Also, what's going on with the portfolio?" Xavier questioned her seriously.Kayla leaned closer to the window in fear and immediately choked up."Katie lied to me. She told me she'd already sent the portfolio …"Xavier only felt irritated when he saw tears suddenly streaming down her face. The more she cried, the more stupid she seemed to him."What's the use of crying? This is your business; you'd better think of a way to resolve it. Don't expect me to help you."Xavier started the car. Unwilling to look at Kayla at all, he said icily, "You'll have to explain yourself to my mother and grandfather."Kayla felt extremely aggrieved, but she didn't dare to cry out loud, afraid it would piss Xavier off again. She bit her lips and sobbed silently throughout the entire journey.When th
Chapter 161 Was There No One Else in the Entertainment Industry?
The moment their words aligned, Thomas came to a conclusion, which he then thought was unlikely. He frowned and said, "Yvonne was living in the village before this. How would she know the owner of an international jewelry brand?"Katie said, "I’m not too sure about that. I’ll try to weasel information out of Andy when I get the chance to."Thomas was quiet for a minute. This was weird. Many unexpected things had happened since Yvonne had returned. He had to get to the bottom of this. He looked at Monica. "Ask the villagers what Yvonne had been doing there during the past 20 years."Monica nodded. "Alright."Katie sighed in relief when she saw that they had believed her words. This could also be a good chance to move out of the Jones family house. She masked a pitiful expression and said, "Mom, dad, I want to move out."Monica grew anxious. "This is your home. Where else do you want to live?""After my return, I tried to be good to you and Kayla. But …" Katie smiled bitterly. "I’v
Chapter 162 He Couldn’t Afford to Lose This
Meanwhile, Stephen had just finished meeting with his foreign clients.On the way home, he rubbed his forehead, his feather-like eyelashes concealing the exhaustion in his eyes.After working under so much pressure for so many days in a row, even a strong body would start to feel the effects.Julian asked warily, "Mr. Anderson, would you like to take two days off? If you keep going on like this, I fear …""There’s no need," Stephen said in a low voice. "How many things are left on the itinerary?""Not many." Julian had checked it in the morning. They were making progress faster than they'd expected. "If we keep this up, we’ll be able to return next week.""Very well," Stephen replied. Then he shut his eyes.His head felt like it was about to explode, but as he rested, his thoughts drifted to Yvonne. Had she cooled off yet?…In the morning, Yvonne dragged Rachel out of the house, saying there was a show that they had to watch.To Rachel's surprise, Yvonne drove her to City Ha
Chapter 163 I’m Helping You
Lindsey watched the car disappear into traffic and gathered her emotions, wiping away her tears. She gritted her teeth in anger. "Fuck! I only had one last thing to do!"Once she registered her marriage with that old fuck, she would be able to claim half of the Joneses’ property as her own. She'd kept her true intentions so well hidden. Why did Thomas have to ruin everything at the last second?"Get up. They’re already gone. How long are you going to be sitting for?" A woman’s voice sounded from above.Lindsey looked up. The sun blinded her, and she had to narrow her eyes for a while to see that it was her neighbor.Although they’d only met for a while, Lindsey remembered her because of the scar on her face. She stood up and asked, after a pause, "Why are you here? Did you see anything? Don’t you dare spread nonsense if you did!""The person you want to marry is my grandfather," Yvonne said, revealing her identity.Lindsey was stunned, but she snapped back to reality in an instan
Chapter 164 Smart Indeed
"Do you really not believe in the organization?" Gwen said coldly. "Don’t worry. Forget Monica. Even if Stephen comes knocking, he won’t be able to find anything."As a secret organization that worked primarily with the rich, Emerald Group was notorious for being thorough. They even kept their employees’ identities concealed. Thus, making someone disappear and creating a new person altogether was as easy as pie.Yvonne relaxed when she got Gwen’s reassurance. "I don't need to worry since you're around, Gwen.""I’ve heard about Miller Jewels." Gwen seemed awkward. After a pause, she added, "Congratulations, Yvonne."She'd been against Yvonne taking over Miller Jewels at first. She'd said it for Yvonne's own good, as she didn’t want Yvonne to be pitted against the organization. Now that she knew Miller Jewels had crossed their first obstacle, she was relieved on Yvonne’s behalf. Regardless of which side Gwen was on, she was sincere.Yvonne smiled. "Thanks, Gwen."They talked for a
Chapter 165 I Must See Yvonne
That night, Thomas sent Joseph to the town.News of the young sugarbaby had consumed the city overnight like wildfire.Stephen heard of it when his plane landed. He guessed that this was Yvonne’s doing and smirked. She hadn’t stopped to take a break since he'd left."There’s one more thing, Mr. Anderson." Julian leaned over, looking pained. "Ariel is back."Stephen’s face turned cold. "When did she come back?""The day we left."They’d been so busy with work that they hadn’t noticed the news of her return. Now that they were back, Julian had caught up on everything that had happened, and the news of Ariel returning had taken him by surprise.She’d gone abroad for quite a few years without a single peep. Why was she suddenly back?Julian discreetly observed Stephen’s expression. He couldn’t quite tell what was going through Stephen's head.
