She recalled the scene when she met Roxanne on the way, she could not help but ask, "Zachary, do you know Roxanne?"“No,” Zachary answered, then it turned into a sneer in a flash. “But I’ve heard about her before, she’s the woman who made my father abandon his family!”“Is that really her?” Yvonne was stunned.Ella thought Yvonne would back down if Pearlie took action, but things did not go as planned. Yvonne and Zachary were still very close, and Pearlie left without a word, it looked like she would return with nothing after she came looking for Yvonne this time.Pearlie could not help feeling troubled, she had done everything that she could for Jackson, what should she do now?At the same time, Jackson knew about Pearlie coming to the South City, Jackson was surprised when he heard that Pearlie had left right after meeting Yvonne.When he knew Pearlie was coming to the South City, he was worried about Yvonne. After all, Yvonne was often humiliated by Pearlie because of Yosef.
Yvonne nodded to the old master, there was a trace of a smile on the old master’s face, yet there was none in his eyes. “Ms. Yates, please take a seat!”Yvonne sat opposite the old master, the waiter served some tea and left. He raised his cup of tea and took a sip of it softly. “Is Ms. Yates a native of South City?” "Yes," Yvonne answered.“Ms. Yates, what’s your relationship with Cindy Yates?”“She’s my mother.” Yvonne looked at the old master instinctively, how did he know her mother’s name?“Oh! I’m not sure if Zachary told Ms. Yates about our family matters.” The old master’s voice sounded friendly and nice.“Some of them.”“Then you must have known that Zachary was lacking fatherly love since he was growing up? Ms.Yates, what do you think about this?” “I felt sympathy for him.” Yvonne had no idea what the old master wanted to say.The purpose of meeting her was to ask her to leave Zachary alone, but why was he not going straight to the topic? The old master would not d
“Ms. Yates, now you know why I’m against you being together with Zachary? It’s not because you’re divorced or a single parent, you’re the daughter of the woman that Zachary hates the most. Zachary had lost his father since he was young because of your mother. If he knew the woman he loves was the daughter of the woman that made him lose his father, what would he think?”The old man's voice was slow but every word he spoke was torturing her heart. "Think about it, I'll not object if you think that you can be with Zachary comfortably. But paper can't wrap up a fire if Zachary finds out about the truth one day…"Yvonne tried her best not to let herself step out of line, but the enormous shock still made her eyes filled with tears. She did not want to cry in front of others, so she stood up, nodded to the old man, and said goodbye. Finally, there was a trace of sadness in the old man's eyes looking at her straightened back. ‘Zachary, I’ve always liked you, because I’m afraid that I’d l
“No, no one threatened me. I just thought that we’re not suitable for each other. My heart can’t get over it! To me, men and toothbrushes can’t be shared, I can’t stand the fact that you had so many women before.” Zachary’s face showed that he was in pain. She was disgusted with him being dirty, this woman despised him for being dirty, he knew very well how many ridiculous things he had done before, this woman, she was right about it!He let go of Yvonne’s shoulder in despair, Yvonne left the letter of resignation in front of him. “I hope you can approve my resignation as soon as possible, I believe President Quimby won’t be doing anything childish like threatening me with the contract, right?” What she said got Zachary struck his nerves to the point that his veins were bulging on his forehead, glaring at Yvonne with his blood-red eyes. Yvonne mustered up her courage to look him in the eyes. Zachary finally surrendered when he looked at the cold look in her eyes.“Get out of th
The old master's heart was feeling uncomfortable while watching his grandson going insane. What charms do Yvonne and her mother possess?Cindy Yates made his son abandon his own family, and now his grandson was willing to do anything for her daughter. There was a wave of slight anger in his heart, he raised his teacup and sipped some tea. "Zach, actually I didn't say anything to Ms. Yates, she volunteered to leave you, you can ask her if you don't believe what I said.""Volunteered? How is that possible?" Of course, Zachary would not believe what he said, "Grandpa, tell me honestly, what tricks did you play to make Yvonne so determined to leave me." “It’s simple, I told her that she’s a divorced woman, she had a child, and she’s not good enough for you. I don’t like her, that’s all.” “That’s impossible!” Zachary refused to believe. “It’s the truth, she gave up because she thought that she didn't deserve you, which proves that she’s not deeply in love with you.” The old maste
Once, Yvonne felt nothing wrong with Zachary's companionship every day. Now she was suddenly living a life without Zachary, she realized that she was spending her days in misery. After dinner when she sat in the living room, she would look at her phone, even if she knew that there would be no text messages or phone calls, but deep down in her heart, she was still expecting something inexplicably.Wesley was playing with Leo beside her, Yvonne’s actions did not manage to escape his sight, he sighed. “Yvonne, it’s still early, what about bringing Leo outside for a walk?” "Sure!" Yvonne stood up, held Leo's hand, and went downstairs with Wesley.The three of them got out of the district and walked beside the road, there was a bazaar not far away from the district. It had always been busy there during the nighttime.Leo saw many people there, he pointed in the direction of the bazaar with his fat little fingers. "Mommy, can we go there to play?" “Alright!”The trio reached the ba
Jackson’s heart was finally at ease, Leo saw his mother was lying on the hospital bed asleep. Leo struggled out of Jackson’s arms, and approached Yvonne to hold her hands, and shook them. “Mommy, don’t sleep. I’m afraid!”Jackson went up and held him while comforting him. “Mommy is tired, she’ll get better after sleeping.” The sensible Leo fell silent after listening to Jackson, he held his mother’s hand with his little hand, he remained motionless and watched over her. Jackson felt a little sad watching this, the young child was so sensible at his age, he could feel his eyes tearing up, then he held Leo’s and Yvonne’s hands together in his. Not sure how long it took for Yvonne to finally open her eyes. “Mommy! Mommy is awake!” Leo was pleasantly surprised.The first thing Yvonne saw after waking up was Jackson, she felt her whole body aching. “Leo… Leo!”"Leo is here right? Don't worry, he's fine," Jackson replied to her instantly. “Jackson...why...why are you here?” Yvonne l
Sandra was holding her hand and comforting her. “Yvonne, don’t worry, get yourself recovered first. After you’re discharged, you can move to my house, then slowly find yourself a job. I’ll prepare your portion when it comes to food.” Yvonne was speechless while she held Sandra’s hand, the only right thing she had done in her whole life was to get to know a friend like Sandra. Yvonne rejected those ideas when Sandra was planning to take a leave from work to take care of her. "Sandra, go ahead, I'm not injured to the point that I can't take care of myself."Sandra nodded her head. “I’ll visit again at night.” She had been busy with a case lately, there would be a significant amount of money coming in if she did it successfully. Yvonne was in trouble now, everything would be easier if there was money.Jared found out about the fire in the first place as soon as he heard the news, he personally went to the hospital to visit the injured.Those who were hurt were in the same ward with
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
