As soon as he said that, the entire table looked at Ella and Jackson. "Congratulations, President Miller!"Jackson did not explain and just poured the juice into Ella’s wine glass in front of her. After that, Ella picked up the juice and clinked glasses with Mr. Lance.When Yvonne watched them, she snickered because of how similar that scene looked. She and Jackson seemed to have gone through a similar situation.‘If Fiona finds out that Ella is pregnant, she’ll probably faint from crying in the toilet.’Zachary, who was sitting next to her, did not know what Yvonne was thinking. He just went along and raised his wine glass. "Yvonne, let's also congratulate President Miller!""Sure!" Yvonne returned Zachary a smile and raised her glass to Jackson and Ella. "Congratulations to President Miller for your child!"When Jackson looked at the bright smile on her face, his heart ached. ‘She doesn't care. She doesn’t care at all even though she thinks I have a child with another woman.’
"Is that so? And how would you know, Ms. Pearson?" Yvonne sneered."If you're pregnant, you wouldn’t have drunk the wine because pregnant women can’t drink.""Perhaps there are some things you just don’t know, Ms. Pearson. It’s true that doctors say a pregnant woman can’t drink, but it doesn’t mean that you can’t have a single drop of wine on your lips. I just put my lips to the glass, so don’t worry about me, Ms. Pearson." Yvonne smiled faintly.When Jackson heard what Yvonne said, he downed another glass of wine. When Ella saw how he was acting, she got really anxious. "Ms. Yates, pregnancy is not something to joke about!""Honey, she doesn't believe I'm pregnant." Yvonne looked at Zachary and smiled delicately. "Tell her."Zachary did not know why Yvonne was saying that she was pregnant, but he just went along with her and said that it was true. He raised an eyebrow. "Ms. Pearson, are you doubting my ability? Look at my body. Even though I can’t score 100 percent every time, I’
The punch landed right on Jackson’s eye. It was so painful that he let go of Yvonne. Since Yvonne was afraid that he might do something to her again, she gave him a hard push. As Jackson was trying to protect Yvonne, he adjusted his stance. When Yvonne forcefully pushed him, he immediately fell and collided with the food cart.When Yvonne heard the noise, she jumped from the shock and looked toward the noise, only to see that Jackson had fallen to the ground with soup all over his body.The waiter who was pushing the food cart was as pale as a sheet of paper. He was very frightened and kept apologizing as he helped Jackson up.Yvonne was also shocked. Jackson's eye was black and blue from her punch. The expression on his face clearly showed that he was in a lot of pain. She subconsciously reached out to help Jackson when a shout came from behind. Yvonne turned around and saw Ella with her face full of panic.When she saw Ella, Yvonne immediately withdrew her hand, turned around, an
"Ms. Pearson, are you out of your mind? I don't know you. Whether I’m pregnant or not, it's none of your business.""It’s true that we don’t know each other, but you shouldn’t provoke him like that. You clearly know that he has feelings for you yet you still said those things. What exactly is your intention?"When Yvonne saw Ella's angry eyes, she laughed coldly. "If you, an outsider, can see that I’m not pregnant, how can you say that I was provoking him? You’re just making things worse. And anyway, it’s none of your business.”When she said that, there was a look of surprise on Ella’s face. "So you really aren’t pregnant?"Yvonne did not care why she looked surprised and just looked at her sullenly. "Ms. Pearson, I don't know you well, so please stay away from me in the future. And this thing with you coming out of nowhere and stopping me rudely? Please don't ever do this to me again, or else.”After Yvonne told her that, she strode away and Ella was left standing in the same sp
"I'm fine," Wesley replied.When the man saw the scene, he got impatient and spoke viciously, "So what are you guys going to do about the car?"Yvonne turned her head to look at the man. "What happened?""Who are you?" The man scanned Yvonne."He's my uncle," Yvonne replied."He hit my car just now. Look how badly dented my bumper is. What are you guys going to do about it?”"Yvonne." Wesley had a look of shame on his face. He knew how much that car cost. They would not be able to afford the repairs, not to mention that there was no service center for this brand in that entire country."Uncle, don’t worry. Let me think." Although Yvonne had gotten married to Jackson for a few years and lived life as a rich madam, she knew nothing about cars. She pointed to the car and asked, "How much will the repair cost?""Repair?" The man looked at her as though he had heard something funny. "Miss, there aren't any service centers for this brand in this country. I’ll need to send it to the f
"Make sure you arrest him and interrogate him. Feel free to torture him. He stole a luxury car worth tens of millions and got it all dented, so make sure you put him in prison.""I didn’t steal the car. My relative lent me the car. If you don’t believe me, ask him." The man softened up.The police notified his relative with the contact information he provided and the man's relative rushed to the police station. When the man's relative saw Zachary, he took the initiative and greeted him, "Mr. Quimby, why are you here?"Zachary took a look at the man and it turned out that it was his friend’s butler, so he sneered. "Did you lend him this car or did he steal it?"The butler cried, "He’s my nephew and came to South City for a visit. He must’ve wanted to have some fun with the car when he saw it, but I never lent the car to him. He took the car out to drive while I was asleep. Mr. Quimby, please forgive me for this.”"Driving a car around without permission is the same as stealing a ca
A few days passed by uneventfully when one day, Yvonne received a call from Wesley when she was at work. "Yvonne, Leo is missing!""When did he disappear?" Yvonne was shocked."Just now! I took him to the park and he said he wanted ice cream, so I bought him some. But when I turned around, he was gone!""What happened?" Yvonne started panicking, took the phone, and rushed straight to Zachary's office. She did not care if anyone was there and even called him by his first name. "Zachary, I have something I need to do first. I'll do the rest of my work tomorrow."When Zachary saw how pale her face was, he knew that something serious had happened. "Yvonne, what's going on?""My son got lost in the park! I have to go find him!""I'm coming with you!" Zachary immediately got up and followed Yvonne out of the office. The two of them got into the car and went straight to the park where Leo went missing.On the way there, panic was written all over Yvonne's face and she kept mumbling to
The staff took a closer look at the shoes the man was wearing and nodded. "The shoes are the same.""Zoom in on his license plate!"The staff immediately zoomed in on the license plate and Zachary got his phone to call someone again. "Officer Carson, get someone to watch out for this license plate. I suspect that the child has been taken by the man in this vehicle!"He talked on the phone and while walking out. Yvonne grabbed his hand. "Zachary, where are you going?""Wait here, I'm going to check it out!""I don't want to wait here, I want to go find my son!" Yvonne's legs kept shaking, and the fear in her heart could be seen in her eyes. ‘If we can’t find Leo, what am I going to do?‘My son! What am I going to do if my sweet, obedient son is gone?’Zachary saw her current state and sighed. "Okay, you can come with me to look for him!"Zachary helped the stumbling Yvonne out the door and they went straight to the parking lot outside the park. He pulled open the car door and he
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? 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
