Jade was very satisfied with Fiona's kind character. She had always wanted an obedient and understanding daughter-in-law. "That has nothing to do with you. Don’t feel like you have to bear that responsibility. I’m telling you about this because we’ll be a family soon, so that’s why I’ll let you know the things you should know. And even if Jackson finds out that Yvonne can get pregnant, so what? I’ll never let that woman who only cares about herself step foot into the Miller household ever again!"

Fiona looked at Jade gratefully. "Ms. Lewis, thanks for being so good to me! I promise that I’ll be the best daughter-in-law for you!”

When she said that, the housekeeper came back from grocery shopping. Jade finally ended the conversation and picked up the phone. "I'll call Jackson to come back for dinner tonight."

The call quickly got through and Jackson's voice faintly sounded, "Mom? What's wrong?”

"Jackson, am I only allowed to give you a call when something’s wrong?” There was a tinge

    Jade and Fiona were unhappy, but Jackson was not doing any better. Since finding out that Yvonne had remarried and had a child with someone else after their divorce, he had not been able to spend a single day without letting his emotions affect him. He had always thought that Yvonne went on the dating show just to make up the numbers, but now, it seemed that she actually wanted to look for a father for her child. That was why she chose someone like Vincent.When he thought about how Yvonne almost got raped, remorse and hatred flooded his mind. It was all his fault Yvonne ended up like this now, so he must find a way to make it up to her.After he had that idea, Jackson could not focus on work at all for the next few days. After work, instead of going home, he would drive to the residential complex where Yvonne stayed. It was then he learned that Zachary had become a regular visitor to Yvonne's house.Watching Zachary swaggering in and out of Yvonne's place, walking and playing wit

    While Leo was playing with it, the ball in his hand rolled to the side. Coincidentally, a bald man walked past Leo with his son, who was a little older than Leo. When the kid saw the ball, he immediately picked it up and held it in his hand.When Leo saw someone taking his ball, he ran over to the kid. "Give me back my ball.""No!" Since the child had an adult with him, he acted very brashly. When the bald man saw that his child was fine, he did not stop him and just stared at his phone, playing with it."This is my ball, give it back to me!" Leo got anxious."I don't want to." When Leo reached out to grab it, the kid pushed him and Leo fell to the ground. When Jackson saw what happened, he quickly walked over to them.When Leo fell to the ground, he did not cry like a normal child would. Instead, he got up and pounced on the child again. However, the child reached out and pushed Leo again, so Leo fell down once more. This time, Leo was really angry. He got up, grabbed the child's

    "But if he takes away my ball, I’ll never be able to play with it ever again, and you’ll have to spend money to buy another one for me. I know you work very hard, Mommy, so I don’t want to make you spend too much money."Yvonne sighed. ‘It’s all my fault. I shouldn’t make Leo feel the pressure of money when he’s still so young.’ She secretly vowed in her heart that she would never mention money in front of Leo ever again. "Mommy has enough money, I can buy you whatever you want.”On Sunday, Zachary took Charlie on a business trip and called Yvonne at noon. He told her that there was a document in the safe. He needed Yvonne to go to the office, find it, and fax it to him.Wesley had something to do and already went out, so Yvonne was home alone with Leo. When she received Zachary's call, she hurriedly took Leo to her office by taxi.When they got to the office, Yvonne instructed Leo to sit on the sofa in the lounge to play, while she went to open the safe to find documents. She soon

    When the security guard was done making a call and turned back around, the little guy was no longer on the sofa.Leo ran to the elevator doors and pressed the button a few times, but the doors did not open. He did not dare to stay there for too long because he was afraid that the bad guy would catch up to him, so he ran toward the main entrance.Jackson was driving and when he unintentionally looked to the side, he saw a familiar little figure. He was startled.‘Isn't this Yvonne's child? Why is he alone on the street?’Jackson immediately stopped his car and ran to Leo.Leo was out of breath from running. Suddenly, there was a man standing in front of him. "Where are you going? Where’s your mommy?""Mister!" Leo looked as though Jackson was his savior. "There’s a bad person chasing after me. I'm scared.""Don't be scared, I’ll protect you."When Yvonne turned back after faxing the documents, she realized that her son was gone. She thought Leo was playing in another office, so

    "Afraid of you? Why should I be afraid of you?""If you're not afraid of me, why won't you let me drive you guys back?""Who says I’m afraid?""Well, are you going to get in the car then?"After being provoked by Jackson, Yvonne pulled open the car door. After getting in the car, she realized that she had been tricked by Jackson.She pursed her lips, hugged Leo tightly, and cursed Jackson several times in her mind. ‘You shameless jerk!’ As if she had not suffered enough from his actions last time! She could not believe that she did not restrain herself and got tricked by him again.While driving, Jackson would look at Yvonne to see how she was doing from the rear-view mirror. Since he finally got her to be in the car with him, he was not going to let Yvonne go home so easily.After thinking about it for a long time, he finally said to Leo, "Leo, are you hungry?""Yes!""Do you want me to take you out to have something delicious?"Leo looked at his mommy and was initially goin

    When Jackson saw that Yvonne was not moving her cutleries and just staring at Leo, Jackson picked up some food and put it on Yvonne's plate. "Don't just watch him, you should eat too.""Mommy, you should eat too." Leo used his chubby hands to get some food for Yvonne as well. She ate all the food Leo gave her but did not touch the things Jackson gave.When Jackson saw what was happening, his eyes were a little gloomy, but he quickly adjusted to the situation. He put some food onto Leo's plate. Leo gave him a smile, "Thank you, Mister.""Jackson? What are you doing here?" A voice abruptly rang out and Yvonne looked over to see Jade standing next to them with a gloomy look on her face.She and her friend were dining in the same restaurant and were having a good time when one of her friends asked, "Isn't that Jackson? Why is there a child with him?"When Jade looked over, her heart sank. She could not believe that her son brought Yvonne and her son to have a meal here. It seemed that

    Jackson parked his car at the entrance, and Jade's car also reached the entrance.The mother and son entered the villa with sullen looks on their faces. When the housekeeper saw Jade drenched, she was startled. "What's happened?”Jade did not answer her. Instead, she threw her bag onto the sofa. "We need to talk!""Fine!" Jackson spat out the word and sat on the sofa, looking at Jade coldly. "What do you want to talk about?"When Jade saw how indifferent he looked, it made her furious. "Jackson, how can you be so cold-blooded? I'm your mother! Why didn't you do anything when she bullied me? Look at how wild that woman has become!""You asked for it!" Jackson sneered. "Even though you’re an educated and dignified person, you disrupted her meal in a public place without any regard for her dignity. You attacked her in front of her own child. What Yvonne did was considered a light punishment!”"How can you talk to me like that?" Jade was furious and almost shouting. "After your fathe

    For a moment, Jade was speechless."Mom, didn’t you have something you wanted to say?" Jackson looked at his mother mockingly."I..." There was nothing else Jade could say."Don't you want to know what kind of life Yvonne had after I kicked her out? Well, let me tell you. She was forced to marry someone as she was without a penny to her name after getting kicked out by me, a heartless billionaire. She didn't love that man at all, but because she couldn't survive, she had to marry a man she didn't love because she was forced to make ends meet.""I never wanted to force her to do anything. I only asked you to get a divorce with her last time, I never told you to not give her any money," Jade retorted."Yes, it was indeed my idea not to give her any money, but do you know why I was so ruthless?" Jackson spoke viciously."You forced me! You forced me to divorce Yvonne because if I didn’t, you told me you were going to kill yourself. I never wanted to divorce her! But since I couldn't

    Jackson had to run back and forth as he had to take care of Yvonne while checking on Leo’s condition. He was most concerned about his son, although the cord blood had been successfully transplanted into his body but it was not guaranteed that everything would be fine. The doctor informed Jackson that after the cord blood was transplanted into Leo's body, he still needed to pass through the infection barrier, reposition in the body, and the rejection barrier before it could truly be considered as a successful transplant.The rejection stage might be the most difficult to overcome. The rejection reaction may occur at any time such as fever, vomiting, and difficulty in eating, diarrhea, etc. Leo had to receive medical treatment according to his condition, along with his cooperation. Once he was fully recovered, he would be sent to the general ward after 3-4 weeks.Jackson would visit his son every hour. Due to the uncertain factors, he was extremely anxious but he could not show even

    The heart-wrenching scene finally drew to a close. The umbilical cord blood transfusion was successfully completed and Leo’s heart rate returned to normal—everything seemed to have fallen back into place. Jackson could feel the weight of a boulder lifted off his chest.As soon as the doctor walked out of the transplant chamber, Jackson stepped forward and took his hand, showering him with words of gratitude.All this while, Yvonne had been trying her best to stay awake. She was dying to hear of Leo's condition post-operation, but ultimately gave in to the anesthesia and drifted off. She felt utterly drained and all she could hear was a gentle whisper by her ear—it was Jackson. “Yvonne, don’t fret,” he said, “Our child will be just fine. Rest without a worry, my dear; when you wake up, all will be well.”And so she slept. She slept for a long period of time and did not even realize that she was wheeled into the ward. In her deep slumber, she could vaguely hear familiar voices, many o

However, they did not expect to see the police standing in front of the door, both of them were then arrested and the pregnant lady was also carried out. The two realized in shock that the lady was not Yvonne, but a random stranger. “What’s happening?” Fiona pointed at the pregnant lady as she asked Donavan in a hysterical scream. “What do you mean by what happened? Didn’t you ask me to kidnap this woman?” Donavan asked.“You… How dare you deceive me?” As matters stood, Fiona had realized that she got fooled. However, it was too late for her to turn things around as the police had charged both of them for kidnapping and murder. Section 239 of the Criminal Law prescribed a minimum of 10 years of penalty in prison or life imprisonment for the crime of kidnapping for the purpose of extorting money. Furthermore, kidnapping another person as a hostage would either result in a fine or confiscation of pro

Under the pressure of the Quimbys’, Pearlie’s parents made the move to terminate the marriage agreement for her and Zachary.

    “Is Leo willing to give daddy a chance?”“Leo will as long as mommy gives daddy a chance.”Yvonne touched Leo’s head. “Good boy.” She then noticed a gaze staring at her from behind. She turned around and saw Yosef looking at her and Leo from behind.“Yosef, when did you get here?”“Just now.” Yosef walked over. “Yvonne, let’s talk.”Yvonne nodded and went to the garden with Yosef. He helped her to sit down on the bench. “Yvonne, do you believe in destiny?”Yvonne shook her head without knowing why Yosef said so."I never believed in destiny. I always believed that hard work could make everything I wanted, but I guess I was wrong!" Yosef looked at her delicate face. "Since that thing happened, my heart has been very hesitant. I'm struggling and I didn’t dare to face you. I thought about it for so many days and watched it coldly for so many days. Today I finally mustered up the courage to come to you."Yvonne sighed. “I am sorry Yosef, it’s all my fault.”“No! It’s not your fa

    Yvonne promised Yosef that she would stay with him and also promised to forgive him but now she faced a bigger problem. After all, Ella was her sister and they have the same blood flowing in their bodies, she could not accept a man who had a relationship with her sister.Now it was not about whether she accepted Yosef or not, it was the matter whether Ella really liked Yosef. Yvonne saw how Ella looked at Yosef with a longing gaze and thinking of the child in Ella’s womb, she wanted to persuade him to accept her. Ever since their conversation that day in the hospital, Yosef avoided being alone with her and Yvonne knew that it was because he did not want Yvonne to tell him to take responsibility for Ella. Yvonne also felt bad as Yosef wasted nine years because of her and how could she persuade him to marry Ella now?As Yvonne felt hesitant, Sandra came to persuade her. “Yvonne, you should give Jackson a chance.”“You guys have been speaking on behalf of Jackson these days? Didn’t y

    “Do we really need to give her money to settle this?” Sandra asked. Jackson sneered. “Why should we? Just let her file the report.”“Are we really letting her do it?” Most of the people knew about the paintings, if it was further exposed, it would not look good on Jared. “Fiona knew that we wouldn’t want to cause any more trouble, that’s why she threatened us that way. If we were to be afraid of her, she would be even more extreme next time, just let her report it,” Jackson explained. “I will ask someone to take care of her in there and she will know what to do by then.”“We cannot let her run amok anymore, she deserves whatever she will be getting, just let her file the report!” Yvonne agreed to his statement as well. Evil could never win against good, if they kept on tolerating people like Fiona, she would definitely take another step further. Fiona initially planned to just threaten them once to get some money so she could live a better life, but she did not expect Yvonne

    Yvonne nodded while looking at Ella. Jared then called out to Jackson. “I’ve made too many mistakes in my life, I’ve betrayed my wife and wronged my daughters. I really hope that you won't repeat what I did. I am handing Yvonne over to you and I won’t forgive you if you dare to wrong her!” “Father, don’t worry, I will not let Yvonne down!” Jackson swore. “Yvonne, you are a good child. Father knows that you still love Jackson in your heart, so does he. It’s all my fault back then, for the sake of Leo and the child in your womb, forgive him!”“I have forgiven him!” Yvonne answered“I still have one last request...Please bury me...beside Cindy...after I die…” Jared panted as he spoke. Yvonne nodded. “Don’t worry, father!”Hearing what Yvonne said, Jared showed a smile of relief, and his last wish was granted so he had nothing to worry about anymore. He gradually said, “Cindy, I am coming!” and closed his eyes. “Father!” Yvonne and Ella exclaimed at the same time but Jared coul

    “Don’t cry, it’s over!” Yvonne patted her shoulder gently and comforted her. “This is actually a relief to her as well!” “Yeah, it is better to die if a person is alive with nothing but pain. Since she is reluctant to die, this is the best way to relieve her at the moment.”Yosef stood aside. Seeing Yvonne and Ella hugging each other crying, he felt extremely complicated. Yvonne was a righteous person and he knew that it would be impossible for him to be with her anymore. He sighed in his heart, ‘Loving each other doesn’t necessarily guarantee a good relationship!’Ella seemed to have heard Yosef’s sigh, she looked up at Yosef with teary eyes. “Brother Turner, I will not hold you back, I won’t let the child bother you.”“What nonsense is this?” Yvonne glared at Ella, the hug earlier cleared out all the barriers between the two girls. “Yosef is not a cruel person! You are my only sister and this is his only child, he will let you have the child.”Hearing what Yvonne mentioned, Yos
