Chapter 40 Had the Woman Gone Crazy?
Everyone here knew that Julian was Stephen's right-hand man, so they were dumbfounded to see him here. They began to wonder how this hideous woman knew Julian."It's a surprise to see you here, Ms. Miller. I have something to discuss with you but haven't been able to get a hold of you."Yvonne internally applauded Julian's acting skills and played along. "Yep. I've been kind of busy lately." She turned around to bid Xavier goodbye. "Mr. Robinson, something's come up, so let's meet again another time." Mindful of who Xavier was, Yvonne reluctantly pulled out her name card and placed it on the table. "Feel free to contact me if you need me, Mr. Robinson."With that, Yvonne turned to follow Julian out when the latter suddenly remembered something. In a loud voice, he asked, "Ms. Miller, have you given the investment Ms. Anderson proposed to you any thought?"Yvonne was at a loss, having no idea what Julian was talking about. Julian peeked at the table out of the corner of his eye and made
Chapter 41 Stephen, You Win!
Meanwhile, Xavier stood on the steps of the restaurant, watching the Maybach drive out of sight. If he wasn’t mistaken, the figure sitting in the back seat was Stephen. What a surprise! Stephen had finally left the mansion, and more importantly, it was to pick up an ugly woman. If word of this got out, it would be the most sensational scandal in Northerna City. Yvonne’s last words before she left echoed in Xavier’s ears. Smirking, he muttered to himself, "Pointless? I don’t think so."Thanks to Yvonne's easy-going personality, the atmosphere in the car had eased considerably. Julian breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Madam was a perceptive woman; otherwise, he would've had a headache dealing with both of them. "Don't meet with Xavier so often in the future," Stephen suddenly blurted out in a domineering manner. "Why?" Yvonne replied without hesitation. "Do I have to tell you the reason?" Stephen sneered. "Do you really think Xavier would be interested in an ugly woman like yo
Chapter 42 Don’t Blame Me for Being Ruthless
Yvonne walked for an hour before finally managing to catch a taxi, cursing Stephen the entire way home. Yvonne continued to be annoyed with Stephen for the rest of the week, often going an entire day without saying more than three sentences to him. That morning, Yvonne received a phone call and had to leave the house. When she passed Stephen in the living room, she didn’t even give him a second glance. As the sound of her footsteps grew fainter, Stephen furrowed his brows in frustration. It seemed like she planned to stand by Xavier’s side to the bitter end. Yvonne went to a hotel in the suburbs rather than her company. There were two pillars at the entrance of the hotel, and two burly men were leaning against them, smoking and making small talk. When they noticed Yvonne approaching, they hurriedly snuffed out their cigarettes and threw them away.Standing up straight, both men nodded respectfully to Yvonne. "Ms. Y."Yesterday, Gwen had instructed them to deliver a man to Ms. Y in
Chapter 43 You Are One Trashy Woman
After leaving the hotel in a taxi, Yvonne received a call from Rachel. She hadn’t forgotten about Yvonne’s "boyfriend" and insisted on meeting him before leaving for her next project. Yvonne was caught in a dilemma. If she'd known this would be a problem earlier, she wouldn’t have used Stephen as an excuse in the first place. Besides, she was still ignoring Stephen because of their fight. She felt a migraine creeping up on her. "You guys fought?" Rachel exclaimed in surprise, "What did you fight about? Did he mistreat you?"He kicked me out of the car in the middle of the night. I had to get back home on my own." "What the hell!" Rachel immediately raised her voice. "He's such a scumbag! Why are you staying with a jerk with such violent tendencies? You should've told me earlier so that I could teach him a lesson!" Seeing that Rachel was all up in arms, Yvonne hurriedly appeased her, saying, "To be honest, I was actually the one at fault. I went to meet other men behind his back."R
Chapter 44 Don’t Ever Mess With Me
Upon seeing the absurd situation, Xavier instinctively wanted to help, but he realized it was unnecessary.Yvonne grabbed hold of Monica's wrist and kicked her shin heavily. "Ouch!" Monica screamed in pain.Yvonne twisted Monica’s arm behind her back and pinned her down to the ground with ease. "Open your eyes and see clearly for yourself. There's nothing going on between me and Xavier," Yvonne warned coldly. "If you dare to create trouble outside my company again, I'll tear your mouth apart.""You bitch!" Monica couldn’t say another word due to the searing pain in her arm. The color drained from her face as beads of sweat appeared on her forehead. Yvonne used Monica's scarf to wipe her face and threw it aside in disgust. Xavier opened his mouth to speak, but when he met Yvonne's chilling gaze, he fell silent immediately. The burning glare in her eyes and the scar on her cheek made her look even more frightening, like a witch. Yvonne walked past Xavier and warned, "Don't ever mess wi
Chapter 45 She Still Hadn’t Realized Her Mistake
Julian visited in the afternoon to give Stephen a report about work. However, he realized that Stephen was only listening half-heartedly; he was distracted and had a sour expression on his face the whole time. Julian closed his file with a snap. "Mr. Anderson, are you still giving Madam the cold shoulder?""She still hasn't realized her mistake," Stephen blurted out. He'd been waiting for someone to ask him about it so that he could finally vent. "It's obvious that Xavier had ulterior motives for approaching her. Am I in the wrong to forbid her from meeting him? I really don’t know what she's thinking!" Julian was speechless. It suddenly dawned on him that there was a reason why his boss had been single for years. He tried to persuade Stephen by saying, "Mr. Anderson, I think she also has a point. You are aware of the Robinson family’s influence in the jewelry industry. If she offended them…" "How much is Miller Jewels worth? Is it that important for her to suck up to Xavier?" Steph
Chapter 46 Shooting Herself in the Foot
Three days later, Yvonne had an appointment with the mysterious investor. According to the address she was given, she went to a members-only private club for the meeting. The waiter led Yvonne through a corridor that was elegant and tastefully decorated. It opened up into a garden with large trees whose leaves rustled in the wind. The private club was a quiet place, perfect for discussing business deals. It wasn’t until the waiter opened the door that Yvonne shifted her sight from admiring the scenery to the man who was seated inside. To her surprise, it was none other than Noah Anderson! "Noah, were you the one who invited me?" "Yes, that’s right." Noah poured her a cup of hot tea and gestured for her to sit down. "Here, try this tea; it tastes amazing."Yvonne sat down on the seat across from him. "Noah, I can have tea with you, but I can’t accept your investment." "Why?" Noah was puzzled. "Isn't Miller Jewels in great need of money right now?""Yes, we do need money, but I won'
Chapter 47 Unable to Get In Contact
Out of habit, Yvonne put in her earphones for the drive. She leaned against the taxi window and closed her eyes for a quick rest. However, when the taxi made a big turn, Yvonne realized that something was wrong and opened her eyes. Looking at the unfamiliar scenery outside the windows, she couldn't help but feel uneasy. She pulled out her phone and opened the map as she stole a glance at the driver. She realized that the taxi was heading towards the industrial zone in the east. The direction was completely opposite the city center, where Miller Tower was located. There was no doubt that she was being kidnapped, and the most likely perpetrator behind this was Patrick. Yvonne lowered her head, a wry smile on her lips. He acted pretty fast.Half an hour later, the taxi stopped in the middle of a container yard. The deserted area was littered with abandoned shipping containers. The taxi driver looked at Yvonne, who was sleeping soundly in the backseat, and chuckled contemptuously. Thi
