Jackson did not care about her hostility. “Why did you come back at this time?” “I can be happy, can’t I?” “You must have a purpose, you were not willing to recognize Jared at that time, why would you want to come back at this time? And why did you make that phone call to me that night? I want to know why?” At this point, he remembered to ask her why, wasn’t it too late? “My brain was fried,” Yvonne responded. “You want to take revenge on Fiona, isn’t it? Did you come back to get back at Fiona?” ‘Fiona! What an intimate nickname!’ Yvonne turned away with her cold eyes. “Yes, so what?” “I will not let you get what you want, you better put your wicked ideas away. “Jackson stared at her. “I will not let anyone hurt her!” He once told her the same thing too. His loved one had become another woman as time passed. Yvonne found it ridiculous yet was full of sorrow, she was really blind, how could she fall in love with such a guy? How could she believe that he
“Thank you!” Yvonne Yates did not know what else to say but thank you.At this moment, Felix came in and was surprised to see Yvonne. “You are back?”Yvonne nodded. Felix sighed, reached out his hand to pat on Yvonne’s shoulder, and said, “Heaven helps the worthy. Everything will be fine, do not worry too much.” “Thank you.” Zachary started to feel uncomfortable seeing Felix being so concerned with Yvonne and said, "Is there anything you want to say? Just say it.”Felix turned his head. “President Quimby, the committee of the 8th National City Games has been officially established in South City. All of the competitions will be held in South City, After the estimation provided by the committee, 88 competitions sites and training venues are needed, of which 38 use existing venue resources and 50 new venues. The total investment for the whole new renovated and repaired venues will be 200 billion yuan.”Zachary looked serious. “The pitching announcement is out?”“It is out!” Feli
As expected, they were not wrong. Fiona put down the phone and Trina asked sweetly, “Was it your mother-in-law?” Fiona nodded, the smile on her face faded slowly. She could not afford to lose the bidding for this sports competition again, or else Jade would be very upset. She needed to figure out a way to make sure her father was not biased towards Yvonne.Yvonne ate her food in silence while her heart was also thumping. She knew exactly what kind of tricks both Jade and Fiona were going to play. Her son was suffering from a serious illness at a young age. How could she let Jackson and Jade live with things going their way? She must fight for the sports competition. In the evening, everyone was waiting for Yvonne to have dinner together, she washed her hands and sat at the corner of the table. Susan was smiling while giving her a piece of rib but she did not appreciate the gesture and refused it. Susan did not mind. Instead, she continued talking and picking dishes for Yvonne
Jared could not take it anymore, so he stopped eating. Same for both his wife and daughter who could not continue eating and the dinner ended hastily.Yvonne was not here to just humiliate Susan and her daughter, so she did not go upstairs and sat in the living room because she had something to talk about with Jared. As soon as she saw him coming out of the dining room, she directly spoke out, “Hey, I need to tell you something!”“What is the matter? Let’s go to the study and talk it over,” Jared knew that her words should not be said in front of Fiona and her mother.However, Yvonne Yates refused. “No, let’s talk here.”At this moment, Susan came along with her daughter. The two intended to go back to their rooms after such a big humiliation, but when they heard her words, both changed their minds and sat on the sofa in the living room together.Jared took a glance at Susan and her daughter sitting opposite Yvonne. “So what is the matter?” Yvonne said, “It’s about the sports
“Ms. Summers, why don’t you tell me why I should do that on purpose?” Yvonne Yates taunted Fiona Summers.“It is because Jackson and I are engaged. So you are jealous of us living happily together!” Fiona got carried away as she had just promised Jade that she would control the situation this afternoon but now Yvonne came and acted like this, god knows what she’s up to? “You are right, I am jealous of you!” Yvonne sneered. “Do you really think that I will bless you dirty couple? Let me be honest with you, I can’t wait for you to rot in h*ll!”Fiona turned pale and looked for help from Jared. “Father!”Jared was gloomy and he remained silent. After seeing the appearance of Yvonne, he recalled how pitiful she was when Jackson asked her to leave the family. Yvonne was his daughter, so how could his heart not hurt when he saw Yvonne being bullied? Miller's ruthlessness was visible to all, so she had the right to hate them.“Father, you cannot leave sis like this. If she stays against
Susan did not stop Fiona from calling Jade. Fiona told Jade what happened tonight in a vivid fashion. “Ms. Lewis, why don’t you tell me how Yvonne can be so vicious? She told my father if he was to help Jackson, she would report my father and he did not have another choice for now. This matter seemed to be disrupted by her.”Jade was metaphorically foaming at the mouth. “D*mn Yvonne, she is trying to retaliate against Jackson! How can she be so cruel?” As she cursed at how Yvonne was ruthless, she did not recall how ruthless she was at first.“Yeah, right. My mother and I were begging her, but she won’t budge… She even scolded both of us, she was so harsh towards us!”Jade sighed. She knew Yvonne’s temper and eloquence. She could not make half a point when she confronted Yvonne tit-for-tat back then. It seemed that Jared could not be counted on. Thinking about it, it was not Fiona’s fault, she did not scold Fiona but she was very rational about it. “I will tell Jackson about it and
Zachary nodded. “But it was useless looking for him. The authority has already stated that the pitching call needs to be done fair and square. The most important thing is not just having the ability but also being able to come up with innovative designs.”Yvonne smiled wryly. No wonder Jared did not respond to her intimidation last night. It turned out that he already knew the outcome. Yvonne suddenly felt annoyed about it. Zachary was surprised to see her face turning gloomy. “You don’t seem to be too happy about it?”“No, that’s not it.” Yvonne forced a smile. “Is the current focus of your work finding a designer?” Zachary nodded. “My grandfather called and said there was news that Frank Moss might be in South City. He told me to do all I can to find him.”“Is Frank Moss a famous designer?” Yvonne Yates asked.“He’s not only a designer but a genius designer. He became famous more than 30 years ago, and he won the most honorable architecture award at the age of 25—the Pritker’s
Yvonne shook her head. “Since he’s deliberately hiding from the public, he’ll certainly be hard to find. We shouldn’t only focus on him.”“I know. I’ll go overseas and meet with a few designers. You can take a break as I’ll not be around in the next two days,” said Zachary to Yvonne while standing up. After Zachary and Felix left the office, Yvonne went home. Wesley was very happy that she came home. “‘I’ll go buy groceries now and prepare lunch.” Yvonne stopped him and said, “Uncle, it’s not lunchtime yet. Let's have a talk.” Wesley sat down and asked, “Do Jared and that woman treat you well?” “Just like usual,” said Yvonne. She then told Wesley, “Jared was very outright last night and I thought that it was because he felt that he owed me. But who would have thought that it was all part of his plan? He’s such a cunning person!” “If he were not a bad person, he wouldn’t have cheated on your mother back then,” said Wesley. “You shouldn’t believe his w
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
