There was a definite possibility that Miller did not know about Yvonne and Fiona’s relationship, perhaps he was attracted to her beauty. He recalled how Jackson was staring at Yvonne the last time they met, Zachary furrowed his brows. He had to think of a solution, he must not let Miller take advantage first.He was deeply in thought when Felix suddenly spoke, "President Quimby, Assistant Yates can't stay there anymore."“I know.” Zachary was slightly impatient when he got interrupted. He closed his eyes and thought for a moment then he spoke, “Go and buy a new house right now, then rent it to her. This must be done without anyone noticing.” “President Quimby, what are you up to? During times like this, you should take the initiative to care about her to show that you’ve got the whole ethics thing, that’s how you get the girl, right?” Felix could not understand.“What do you know?” Zachary gave him a hard stare, he had to be particular about the methods and means in pursuing a w
Jade was shocked when she heard that her son risked his life being knocked down by a car to save Yvonne's son. Last time, her son was burned because of Yvonne, and now he did not consider his own safety to save her son. Jade came to realize that Yvonne was a jinx, she might kill her son someday at this rate. She had to get her out of South City, as soon as possible! Roxanne said that Yvonne's house was burned down and she had nowhere to stay, and she lost her job. It was the perfect timing to add fuel to the fire, she could take the opportunity to deal with Yvonne, make her leave South City immediately, and as far as possible. Jade agreed that it was a chance instead, so she called Yvonne on the phone. “Madam Miller? Why are you calling me?” Yvonne felt uncomfortable listening to Jade’s voice, her tone was cold too. “I just found out what happened to your home after I saw the news. I’m sorry to hear that.”Jade called to express her sympathy, that was unusual. There was no dou
“Yvonne, I’m not pushing you, I just wanted to help!” Jackson looked at her, he felt hurt. “Leave!” Yvonne pointed to the door, ever since she met this man her whole life had changed.If it had not been for him, she would find a stable job after graduating from university and live a normal and fulfilling life.She would not have to experience so much pain and hardships, and all those humiliations. "Jackson, get out, I don't ever want to see you in my life again!" Jackson's brows furrowed, his eyes were filled with complicated emotions, at last, he lowered his head and sighed. "Fine, I'll leave."She was injured, she was at her weakest moment. No matter how cruel he was, he had no intention to provoke her. He stood around the corner of the stairs and lit a cigarette. He put in so much effort to move his company's operating center from City A to South City, what was that for? South City was her homeland, a bird returns to its nest when it's tired, he believed that she would come
“Looks like you’ve found a good reason.” Yvonne sneered, she wondered why Jared would come looking for her and asked her to move in.It seemed like he had already finished settling all the loose ends, there was no need for him to be afraid that someone would expose the matter. She was upset, this was her father, the man that her mother loved deeply. There was no blood relation or family love in his heart, power stood as the only thing he wanted forever. “Secretary Summers, I’m not moving back there. If you want me back there, then ask that filthy mother and daughter pair to get out of there!” “Yvonne!”“You don’t have to say anything else, I’m not moving back, please leave!”Jared let out a heavy sigh, he stood up and left the room. After Jared’s figure disappeared, Jackson entered Yvonne’s wardroom. Yvonne was surprised to see him, she had no idea Jackson had not left yet. “Why are you here again?”“Yvonne, what’s your relationship with Jared Summers?” Jackson stared at Yvon
Fiona hung up the phone and shot a glance at her mother. “Mom, Jackson sounded weird!”“What are you afraid of, just tell him the truth. Your father will cover you if anything happens.”“But I’m still worried.”"Don't be afraid, mom will get everything prepared." Susan sneered. "That little b*tch wants to steal your man. Don't even think about it. Not only will I make them strangers, but they'll also become enemies!"Fiona’s mind was at ease once she heard her mother say so and went out to meet Jackson. Jackson’s face was terrible. “I have something to ask you!”"What's the matter?" Fiona's voice was gentle and frail, she looked delicate and concerned. She and Susan had already thought of every possibility that could happen, and she was prepared for it. So now she was able to not panic when she was facing Jackson. "Do you have any idea about your relationship with Yvonne?" Jackson stared at her, his gaze was bright like lightning as if he wanted to see through her.“You knew
Fiona was crying, Jackson was distraught, everything was f*cking messed up!He took out a cigarette impatiently, he was about to light it then the phone rang. It was the housekeeper and she sounded panicked, “President Miller, please quickly come back. Ms. Yates came here and she’s fighting with madam!” Yvonne was having a fight with his mother at home? Jackson was surprised, he stood up immediately. Fiona heard what she said, “Jackson, I’ll follow you to take a look.”After Jackson left, Yvonne went to Wesley's wardroom. Wesley's leg was injured, he could not move. Yvonne sat beside the ward bed and talked to Wesley, Leo was playing alone in the wardroom. The two adults had no idea when Leo went missing, after that a nurse came in with a letter in her hand. She handed the letter to Yvonne. “Someone asked me to pass it to you.”Yvonne was confused, she took the letter from the nurse and opened it. There was only one sentence in the letter, “Get out of South City if you want your
Jade grabbed the note and took a look at it, she scoffed. “Yvonne, are you nuts? What makes you think that it was me who sent this?”“Based on the fact that you sent someone for my son last time. Jade, I’m telling you, I’m not leaving South City, so you better give me back my son!”“Madam Miller, what you did was illegal, hurry up and return Leo to us. We’re calling the police if you don’t hurry up!” Sandra interrupted.“Call the police? Are you crazy? You broke into my house and went yelling here, I’m the one who’s supposed to call the police!” Jade turned her head and called out for the housekeeper. “Get them out of my house!”“Ms. Yates, your son isn’t here, please go back,” The housekeeper said."I'm not leaving until I see my son. Jade, I know you did this, don't you try to deny it, hurry up and tell me where's my son! Otherwise, I'm not done with you!"“What makes you think that your son is here?” Jade was annoyed, no one dared to talk to her in such a manner before. Yvonne
When Jackson dashed into the house he saw the scene and the messy situation. He split up Sandra and the housekeeper who was fighting aside. The next thing he saw Yvonne pinningJade down on the sofa and she was choking Jade's neck tightly. Jade's eyes were rolling up, Jackson was shocked, and ran up and pushed Yvonne away.Jade went out of breath when Yvonne choked her, she thought she was going to die for a second. Now she was finally breathing in the fresh air, she opened her mouth and gasped for air. "Mom, are you alright?" Jackson hurriedly helped her to calm her breathing down. After Jade caught her breath, she looked at her son as if she saw her savior.“Jackson, you came just in time. Look at this little b*tch, she’s here to mess around! She wants me dead!” Jade got all teary. Jackson was pissed after he looked at his mother’s messy hair and the red scratches on the back of her neck. He turned his head and glared at Yvonne. “Yvonne, what the h*ll are you doing here? Huh?”
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
