Yvonne was unsure if Zachary was telling the truth, but she could not take the chance. She immediately hurried to Hyatt Hotels.

When she arrived at Hyatt Hotels, she quickly jumped out of the car and dashed into the hotel, sprinting like a track athlete toward the elevator doors. When she stepped into the elevator, she noticed that Jackson and Fiona were standing inside.

She did not have enough time to back out, and she had no reason to back out anyway. She had not done anything wrong. Why should she be scared of the b*stard and the b*tch?

Fiona immediately leaned on Jackson when she saw it was Yvonne who had entered the elevator. Jackson stiffened and peeked at Yvonne through the corner of his eyes. She did not even bother to look over at them as she crossed her arms across her chest and stood with an apathetic expression on her face.

He felt anger brewing in his heart. He initially wanted to push Fiona away, but he ended up cradling her when Yvonne ignored him.

Yvonne did not spare them a single glance. Her phone was buzzing in her pocket. When she hurriedly took her phone out and answered, she heard Zachary’s voice say, “It’s been thirty minutes!”

“I’m already in the elevator!”

“I only gave you thirty minutes, and you did not follow the rules. We’re done here!”

Yvonne panicked when she heard Zachary’s cold voice. “Zachary Quimby, you can’t do that! I’m already here. You can’t blame me for the traffic jam on the way!”

Anger brewed in Jackson’s heart when he watched her offer a desperate explanation to Zachary. That f*cking woman had never apologized to him for all the times she kept him waiting during their dates in the past. She was always late. Comparing the current moment and past moments only caused bitterness!

He was still angry when the elevator stopped at a floor, and Yvonne dashed to the room Zachary had booked.

Fiona would tell that Jackson was in a bad mood just by looking at him. She added a well-timed sentence, “Ms. Yates seems to be with Mr. Quimby now. Mr. Quimby is well-known for his flirty behaviors…”

“Why does that concern you?” Jackson asked exasperatedly.

Fiona turned flustered when she saw the cold expression on his face.

When Yvonne hurriedly pushed the door open, she saw Zachary sitting with his legs crossed on the couch while Felix stood beside him. She squeezed a smile onto her face and said, “President Quimby!”

“Hm!” Zachary merely said that before he lifted his wrist and glanced at his watch.

“You’re late, Ms. Yates!”

“I’m sorry, President Quimby!” Yvonne said with an apologetic smile on her face.

“You’re sorry? You know what my rules are, don’t you?”

“I do, I do! President Quimby, about the kidney donor…”

Zachary lifted his bandaged arm and blew on it as he gave Yvonne a side-eye. “I only have to give the order to get a kidney donor. However…”

Yvonne forced herself to be patient. “I can do anything you want as long as you help me, President Quimby!”

“Anything?” Zachary asked questioningly.

“Well… except for that…” Yvonne said hesitantly.

Zachary raised an eyebrow. This woman truly intrigued him. Every other woman could not wait to launch themselves into his arms. However, she seemed reluctant to have any connection to him.

One of his favorite things to do was to find novelty things. Yvonne was stunningly beautiful and exactly his type of girl. He could not rush things.

As he thought of that, Zachary gave Yvonne a stunning smile. “Do you still want to resign?”

“No, not anymore!”

“In that case, sign the contract!” Zachary pursed his lips at Felix, who immediately took a contract out from his briefcase and handed it to Yvonne.

Yvonne had a bewildered expression on her face as she took the contract from him. “What is this?”

“An employment contract. Didn’t you quit your job before this? We’ll sign a contract again. I’ll take care of your uncle’s kidney transplant under the condition that you return to work at the office.

Yvonne took the contract and read through it. She did not find anything odd in it. The doctor had told her her uncle could not afford to wait any longer. She would not allow anything bad to happen to her uncle. She would do it for her uncle. As she thought that, she gritted her teeth and took the pen to sign her name.

Zachary stared at Yvonne until she signed her name on the contract. He beckoned for Felix to store the contract away as he plastered a fake smile on his face and said to Yvonne, “The contract is effective as of now. I will fulfill my duties, and I hope you will remember your responsibilities as well. Remember to be present whenever I call for you!”

    As night approached, a sleek, black-colored sedan pulled up and parked near the block where Yvonne and Wesley lived. Everything was dark, and only the dimly lit cigarette spared some light on the man’s gloomy face. The expensive watch on his wrist showed that it was nearing three in the morning, but the woman was still nowhere to be found. There was a mocking smile on Jackson’s face. He had been waiting for nearly five hours.He knew the woman would be spending the night with Zachary. When he saw how intimate they were that day, he could not stop himself from wanting to come over and take a look. He had hoped in his heart that it was not true, but the reality proved that it was merely his imagination.After throwing his cigarette away, he started the car and drove off. Soon enough, the car had vanished into the night. When he returned, his mother, Jade, was still awake and was waiting for him in the living room. When she saw that Jackson had got back, she complained, “Jackson,

    When Jade returned home and saw Jackson walking down the stairs, she sat down huffily and said, “Jackson, you won’t believe just how shameless Yvonne Yates is. We have all underestimated her in the past.” “Mom, you went to look for her?” Jackson frowned slightly. “I didn’t look for her. She suddenly got in touch with me this morning and demanded that I give her a hundred million dollars.” Jade was determined to twist the truth to slander Yvonne.“She got in touch with you? Why would she suddenly reach out for you all of a sudden?” Jackson asked. “Maybe because she was still unsatisfied with what happened in the past! She’s been living such a poor and unhappy life after the divorce. Perhaps she feels miserable now that your business has grown so much and you are getting engaged to Fiona. So she decided to extort me for money. She said that she would expose the truth about Fiona’s previous pregnancy and drag both of your reputations through the mud if we don’t give her the money.”

    Thanks to Zachary’s help, her uncle found a kidney donor and had a successful surgery. Yvonne breathed with relief. She spent a few days by her uncle’s side in the hospital. Once her uncle was recovering, she kept her promise and returned to work at Zachary’s office. When Zachary saw Yvonne at work in her old-fashioned outfit, he looked at her from top to toe and said, “Yvonne, you are not doing yourself justice with those clothes! Such a waste! In the future, don’t dress in those old-fashioned clothes anymore. I will be in a better mood at work if you dress up better.” Just like before, Yvonne ignored his remarks. She proceeded to make Zachary his cup of tea before she began looking through his work schedule. Zachary narrowed his eyes as he sipped on his tea. Letting a long sigh, he said, “You make the best tea, Yvonne. Although it is just a few days of not seeing you, it feels like forever. I could barely work during those few days because I couldn’t see you.” In the past,

    During the journey back, Jackson sat in the backseat with his eyes shut. He seemed to be resting his eyes, but only he knew that he was not resting at all. His thoughts were muddled. It had been three years. She had returned after disappearing for those three years. However, instead of bringing good surprises, she had only caused more trouble for him. Where had she disappeared to in those three years? Why was she together with Zachary Quimby now? He thought that she was with Yosef Turner for the past three years, but it seemed that things were a little different now. He could not help but recall that fateful day from three years ago. That morning, he had noticed the eerie silence in the house when he pushed the mansion’s doors open. After standing in the living room for a while, he walked up the stairs and entered the bedroom. The person he was expecting to see was not there. He guessed that she must have gone grocery shopping. So, he sat down by the bed and quietly waited for

    After they finished their meal and returned to the office, Zachary asked Yvonne, “Have you picked out a present for Jackson Miller as I asked you to?” “No!” “How about this? You don’t have to pick out the present anymore. I already got someone else to get it. I want you to deliver it to him!” “You want me to deliver it to him?” Yvonne was shocked. “Yes, you’ll deliver it as I told you to!” Zachary sounded sure of himself, and Yvonne felt that she had been making a big fuss out of nothing. Why would she not obey Zachary’s orders when she was his assistant? Jackson had become a stranger to her for a long time now. All she had to do was pretend she was delivering a gift to a client, no big deal.When Felix delivered the present he bought to Yvonne, she immediately set out to Jackson’s company. The receptionist denied Yvonne access to Jackson’s office, stating that she needed to make an appointment before she could meet with the president. However, when Yvonne said she was del

    Fiona was holding her bag in her arms when she stood at the door. She stared at what was happening inside in shock. Jackson did not seem the slightest bit shocked with her arrival and calmly turned and asked, “What are you doing here?” His voice was calm, but the look in his eyes was cold. Fiona shuddered when he saw how indifferent he looked. “I… I came…” When she saw that Jackson had pushed Yvonne up against the wall, Fiona would not continue her sentence, as if her words got stuck in her throat.She thought Jackson was flirting with some other woman in his office, but she did not expect the woman to be Yvonne. What was she doing in his office? When had they gotten in touch with each other? Her heart was racing. When Yvonne saw the shock in Fiona’s eyes, she laughed to herself as she pushed Jackson away and strode off. Although she was uncomfortable being pushed up against a wall by Jackson without her consent, she felt great that Fiona had witnessed it. Back then, Fiona

    When she returned to Zachary’s office, he had a frustrated expression on his face as he sat in his office. He had thrown a tantrum earlier and files were scattered across the floor. Felix stood there in his office with his head lowered, not saying a word. Yvonne hurried to pick up the files and placed them in front of Zachary. When Zachary saw Yvonne, he wiped the frustration off his face and said, “Contact Commissioner Lance from the Department of City Development for a meeting!” “Yes, right away!” Yvonne immediately picked up the phone and called Commissioner Lance. After she hung up, she reported to Zachary, “President Quimby, Commissioner Lance has agreed for a meeting!” “He agreed? Haha, that old fox!” Zachary laughed. Commissioner Lance from the Department of City Development was said to be a tough nut to crack. Things would become much easier if they could get him on their side. Jackson Miller would also have thought of every possible way to win over Commissioner Lan

    “Really? How shameful can that little b*tch get? If she’s not going to take the high way out, we might as well push her down to hell. Let’s embarrass her tonight!” Susan said as she laughed. “Mom, what are you planning to do? “You guys are planning to meet up with others tonight, right? If I recall correctly, Mr. Lance will be there as well, right?” “Yes.” “Mr. Lance is known for not being able to step away from pretty women. That little b*tch is so pretty, there’s no way he will let her go. You have to think of a way to get Mr. Lance to make a move on Yvonne.” Fiona’s eyes sparkled when she heard that Mr. Lance was known for being a playboy who slept with all kinds of women without regard or responsibility for anything afterward. Her mom’s experience was the most valuable advantage she has over Yvonne.Yvonne had no idea that the evil mother and daughter duo were getting ready to set her up that night. She entered a private booth in The Night Sky with Zachary and his band o

    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

    Fiona and Pearlie were about to slip away after beating her until she miscarried. 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

    Yosef and Ella’s engagement was being announced and Pearlie who was in the States obviously knew about it also. Hearing that Ella was Yvonne’s sister, she felt even more uneasy. ‘Yvonne is gone but now we have Ella? Did I get lured into this?’As Pearlie was still reeling from the news, something worse happened. Under the pressure of the Quimbys’, Pearlie’s parents made the move to terminate the marriage agreement for her and Zachary. She was still dreaming about marrying him after the 3-year promise, but she did not expect her parents to terminate the agreement, she was so pissed.‘It’s all because of that b*tch Yvonne Yates! If not, I will not become like this!’ Pearlie then returned to Coreulu in anger.Pearlie was thinking of a plan to ruin Yvonne’s life. ‘Since you’ve destroyed my happiness, you don’t deserve to have any either, I will make you pay.’ Knowing that Fiona was now working as a wine girl in a bar, Pearlie personally went to her and persuaded her to deal with Yvo

    “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?

    “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
