James looked at the bruise at the corner of his mouth and shook his head. Zachary and President Miller really liked fighting with each other. Both of them were prestigious people, yet they would fight every time they met. Who knew how deep their hatred went? However, the reason behind their conflicts was always because of that woman! He continued shaking his head as he turned around to walk away. Jackson sat on his chair, his face looking gloomy. Did Zachary not already break up with her? What were they still doing together? Did she not say that one should not go back to their past lovers? Then why was it that she was involved with Zachary again? When she said those words, was she only referring to him? Thinking about it, this woman was tolerant of Yosef and Zachary but was heartless to him! Jackson became angrier with each passing moment as he thought about it. “Zachary doesn’t want to make things easy for me, so I won’t be courteous with him either!” “What are yo
When Susan saw that Jared was upset, she immediately explained, "Madam Miller had someone send Fiona a mink coat, so Fiona went over to say thank you."Of course, Madam Miller did not give Fiona a mink coat. It was Fiona who rushed over to her place to please Jade. Since Jade found out that Fiona’s mother was a mistress, Jade's attitude toward Fiona was not like before. Susan was worried that Jade would have a change of heart, so she told Fiona to think of a way to please Jade.Even though Fiona tried her best, Jade was not too appreciative of it. Every time Fiona came back, she would sulk for a while.The person behind all of this was none other than Yvonne. Every time Susan saw her taking big bites of food, she would feel uncomfortable. Hence, she went against her on purpose. "Madam Miller treats Fiona like her daughter. I think they’ll be a family soon, so I didn’t stop her."‘Treats her like a daughter?!’ Jared frowned at Susan and turned to Yvonne. "Yvonne, how’s work been lat
After Yvonne said what she said, Jared was no longer in the mood to eat fruits. He took a card to Yvonne's room. "Yvonne, this card is for you and the pin code is your birthday."Yvonne did not bother to refuse and immediately put the card into her bag. "If you have any difficulties, remember to come look for me and I’ll do everything I can to help you," Jared said.Yvonne did not believe that Jared would do everything he could to help her, but she just smiled faintly. "Thank you very much, Secretary Summers!"Jared sighed when he saw her nonchalant expression and left her room. He walked downstairs with a sullen face and was greeted by Susan who was holding a card in her hand. "Ol' Summers, Yvonne must be having a hard time lately. Here are some of my savings, can you pass it to her for me?”Susan's understanding gesture made Jared sigh again. "Forget it, you don’t have that much money, just keep it for Fiona. I’ll find a way for Yvonne," Jared said and went into the study.Of co
"Yvonne, I heard you have a child.""Secretary Summers, why do you look so surprised to learn that I have a child?" Yvonne asked him with a sneer. Fiona knew that she had a child long ago, so what was she trying to do by telling Jared about this after so long? Even so, it did not matter what Fiona was trying to do. Yvonne would never let her child get anywhere near them."You really have a child?" Jared could not believe it. "When did you get remarried? Who’s the child’s father? And why didn't you bring the child back?""The child's father is dead. And as for why I didn't bring the child back, Secretary Summers, do you really think that I would bring a kid to such a horrible environment?""Yvonne, I'm your father, so I'm the child's grandfather. You should’ve at least told me about the child!"Grandfather? Yvonne sneered. She never intended to accept this self-righteous man as her own father, so naturally, she had no intention of letting Leo meet Jared. "What could you have done i
"You treated her?""I prescribed so many pills to Yvonne so she was probably able to get pregnant because of the medication." Roxanne slyly defended herself.Jared stared at Roxanne for a few minutes. "You’d better not be lying! If I find out that you wronged my daughter, I won't let you go!"As Roxanne watched Jared stride away, a cold smile appeared on her face. ‘Jared, you’ll never find out the truth because there was nothing wrong with my diagnosis and nothing wrong with the medication prescribed. You’ll never learn what the truth is.’As the saying went, a guilty conscience needed no accuser. Even though Roxanne knew that Jared would never find anything out, she would always feel unsettled.When she came home from work in the evening, she opened the door and saw that the lights were turned on. However, Gordon was nowhere to be seen. Without guessing, she knew that Gordon must be carving in his bedroom.‘When will these days be over?’ Roxanne sighed and threw her bag on top o
After Gordon gave Old Master Quimby the call, he immediately flew to South City. The first thing Old Master Quimby did when he arrived in South City was to have his bodyguard invite Yvonne and Wesley to dinner.The old master was really angry. When he told Yvonne about the situation last time and she agreed to step away, he had felt a little bad for Yvonne. He never imagined that she would trick him and get together with Zachary again. It felt as if she was taunting him. Since she wanted to disrespect him, she should not blame him for being merciless to her. Hence, he came up with a way to deal with Yvonne.When Yvonne saw Old Master Quimby’s sullen face, she immediately understood his intention. When she was about to explain that there was nothing going on between her and Zachary, Wesley was also brought into the private room."Uncle, why are you here?" Yvonne got up to stop Wesley. "Uncle, this has nothing to do with you, so go back first. I’ll clear things up with Old Master Quim
"Sigh, is this what the hallowed genius designer ended up as after deciding to go after what his heart desires?” The old master shook his head with a look of regret and completely forgot why he was looking for Wesley in the first place.Wesley smiled faintly. "Old Master, let's get back to our main subject.""You're not the real Wesley Yates, so what's the use of me talking to you?""To Yvonne, I'm her real uncle. I'm used to being Wesley Yates now, so don't think of it as something wrong.”"How can I not think of it as something wrong?" The old master sighed. "Your presence surprised me so much that I forgot what I was supposed to do tonight.""In that case, let me speak first, Old Master. Since we’re friends, let’s be honest with each other. I hope that you won’t stop Yvonne and Zach from being together.”The old master let out a bitter laugh. "Frank, since we’ve been friends for generations, I naturally won’t say no to your request. But Yvonne is Cindy's child. If Zach finds o
"Uncle, I’m not interested in being with anyone anymore. I only want to care about Leo's wellbeing now. Everything else is just noise to me.”"Don't worry, blessed are the good men! Leo will be fine." Wesley reassured her. "I think that since Zachary’s a good man, you should try being with him."Of course, Yvonne knew that Zachary was a good man. However, if Zachary knew that her mother was the woman he hated the most, would he still like her? "Uncle, I have something to ask you. Did Mom have a relationship with Zachary's father?""How do you know about that?" Wesley looked at Yvonne in surprise."Did Zachary's father abandon his wife and him all because of Mom?""That’s not the entire truth.” When Wesley did not deny it, Yvonne's heart slowly sank to the bottom. If Zachary did not forgive his own father, how could he forgive her? How could she bring herself to like Zachary?On the other side, Zachary was helping the old master into the car. He said, "Grandpa, anything that happe
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
