Chapter 814 Noah Is a Jerk!
At night, Yvonne sat cross-legged on the bed as she stared at the business card in front of her. She was in a daze.Lexi's words had been circling in her head ever since she had heard them.Yvonne's thoughts had been orderly before, but now they were a complete mess.While she was lost in thought, her phone rang. The sound pulled her back to reality.Yvonne sighed in relief when she saw that it was a call from Stephen. She held the phone against her ear and leaned back."What's the matter?"At that moment, Yvonne felt like a balloon that had run out of air. Even her voice sounded weak.Stephen was intrigued. "Did something happen?""I met Jennifer's old friend today. She told me that Jennifer's son had died a long time ago."Yvonne put a hand on her forehead. "I've been on this case for so long, but I got the wrong person in the end. I've been wasting my efforts all this while."Stephen was silent for a moment, deep in thought. Then, he said, "Maybe you found the right person
Chapter 815 Jennifer Definitely Had Connections
Yvonne followed the address Lexi had sent and arrived at a hidden coffee shop in an alley.When she walked in, she could smell the toasty scent of coffee. It was a comforting scent in the rainy weather.The waiter led Yvonne to the entrance of Lexi's private room.After the waiter left, Yvonne knocked on the door and walked in.There was already a pot of tea on the table. Lexi looked up at Yvonne and said, "You came right on time. I thought you would be late because of the rain.""I went out early. I couldn't make you wait, Ms. Doyle."Yvonne took a seat opposite Lexi. She politely received the teacup Lexi offered, then thanked her."Relax." Lexi smiled. "I used to be an employee at Miller Jewels, and you're the old president's granddaughter. Your status should be much higher than mine.""Oh, no, I'm just a businesswoman. How can I compare to an amazing artist like you?" Yvonne said humbly.Lexi smiled. "Your business is even more successful than your grandfather's back then
Chapter 816 Something Must Have Happened
"That night, Jennifer called your grandfather. He answered the call, but he was impatient with her. He said it was pointless for her to come looking for him and she should look for the doctor instead. "Jennifer said that the child was no longer breathing, and the doctor was not willing to help. Your grandfather replied …"Lexi furrowed her brows and quoted what she had heard back then, word for word: "Our child shouldn't have been born. It's good that he died."To this day, whenever Lexi recalled how Jennifer had been that night, she thought she was in a nightmare.That stormy night, Jennifer had hugged her child's dead body. She had slumped onto the floor in the hospital corridors and cried hysterically.Her wails had accompanied the sound of the storm, making the situation seem even more grim."No! Impossible!" Yvonne slapped the table, pulling Lexi back to reality."How could my grandfather get together with a lady who had just graduated from university?" Yvonne said with
Chapter 817 What Did He Do
Yvonne was by the entrance of the coffee shop. She looked at the rainy sky, letting the cool breeze wash over her."Ma'am, do you not have an umbrella?" A server asked in concern. Yvonne turned to look at the server.He smiled and handed her an umbrella. "Take it. You're a guest of Ms. Doyle. We can't just let you go out in the rain. The weather around this time of year is usually quite bad. You should remember to carry an umbrella with you the next time you head out," he said kindly."Thank you." Yvonne accepted the umbrella and looked at the server leaving. A thought slowly came to her. She should pay her respects to her grandparents soon. But how was she going to face Truman this time?When she returned to Miller Villa, she headed straight for a room, saying she had no appetite for dinner.Everyone there noticed that something was off with her. Perhaps she had gotten into some trouble. Curtis and Lloyd discussed it among themselves for a long time but came to no conclusion.
Chapter 818 No Need to Take It All Upon Yourself
Stephen said nothing further. He walked past Elvin and headed upstairs."I'm not done talking to you. Don't go …" Elvin was interrupted when Curtis came over and gave him a look. He said, "Since you think that Stephen made your mommy unhappy, you should let him deal with this. I'm sure you understand, right?"Elvin pursed his lips and muttered reluctantly, "Yes."He had called Stephen over because he understood. He couldn't bear to see his mother cooped up in her room all day without drinking or eating.Elvin looked upstairs, hoping that Stephen could properly cheer his mother up. If not, he would make Stephen pay!In her room, Yvonne heard a knock on the door. She popped her head out of her covers. "I don't want to eat. You guys go ahead."However, the knocks didn't stop. Annoyed by the constant knocking, she got out of bed and opened the door. She was stunned when she saw Stephen. "W—why are you here?""Elvin said I was the one who made you unhappy, so he got me to come and
Chapter 819 Paying Respects
The light rain poured continuously for more than a week.That day, it finally stopped. Stephen headed to Miller Villa to pick up Yvonne. He bumped into Elvin, who was standing by the door, staring at him.While Yvonne was packing up, Elvin warned Stephen sternly, "Don't you dare bully my mommy."After the last time Stephen had come to the Miller Villa, Yvonne had finally come out of her room and started eating.Although Elvin was reluctant, he had to admit that Stephen indeed had a way to cheer his mother up.Stephen looked at Elvin, finding him extremely adorable. Elvin was truly his mother's protector. He was just about to say something when he saw Yvonne coming out in a black dress. Elvin turned around and headed inside.Yvonne walked over to Stephen. "What did Elvin say to you?""He told me to look after you." Stephen turned around and opened the car door. He chuckled gently and said, "You brought your son up well."Yvonne was confused. "What?"Stephen offered no expla
Chapter 820 Consequences of Messing With a Monster
"That child is the real Mark Miller, right?" Stephen asked."Yes." Yvonne nodded. "The real Mark Miller has been dead a long time ago. The Mark Miller now …"Perhaps he was just a substitute for Jennifer.Thinking about that, Yvonne furrowed her brows. "Do you think Mark knows about this?""You might have to ask him." Stephen looked at Truman's grave with mixed feelings."If Mark doesn't know about this, the truth might very well destroy him."If a child who had grown up holding a grudge was suddenly told that the grudge he had been holding was all fake … Anyone would lose it.Especially Mark, who was such an arrogant man. He might react in an extreme manner.Yvonne and Stephen had the same thoughts. They had decided that they wouldn't bring it up with Mark unless necessary.After all, no one knew what the consequences were for messing with a monster. No one could afford to bear the consequences, either."Let's go," Yvonne said, walking away.Stephen took one last look at th
Chapter 821 Waiting for Yvonne
After that day, the weather got better. The temperature rose once more.Yvonne rested at home for a few days before returning to Miller Jewels. She had just entered her office when Nicole came in."Ms. Miller, there's news about Katie Jewels again."Nicole handed the iPad in her hand to Yvonne. Katie Jewels' official social media had announced half an hour ago that they would be collaborating with Lexi Doyle. They said that they wanted the public to fully enjoy the true national style of jewelry.Yvonne furrowed her brows. So Katie had wanted to see Lexi at the art exhibition back then because of this?"Do you think that it's too much of a coincidence? Our new collection is focused on our national style. By announcing this, isn't Katie Jewels clearly trying to go up against us?" Nicole was furious. Katie Jewels had damaged the reputation of many jewelry brands in the industry with their so-called resistance to selling at premium prices.At that moment, they were going after Yvo
