This whole time, he thought Zachary was the one plotting against him. Never in his wildest dreams would he imagine that it was actually Yvonne. What did she want to do? She got someone to seduce him and even wanted to film it. How could she do something so shameless? He was very angry and extremely disappointed in her.Jackson figured Yvonne did this to him because she wanted to seek revenge against Fiona. If that was the case, she should not blame him. He would do something to disgust her first.He said he wanted to disgust her, but he could not stop himself from falling deeper. They had been separated for almost four years yet he never touched another woman in this period.After they did that, he held her soft body and smelled her faint fragrance. Jackson could not calm down even after a very long time.He had been very triggered seeing her hanging out with Zachary this whole time. However, he could not do anything about it. Since she came to him herself this time, then she shoul
“Yvonne, I’m warning you, don’t covet things you shouldn't covet!”“Miss Summers, may I ask what should be coveted and what should not?” Yvonne sneered.“I just want to remind you that you’re a person with dignity. Being a mistress or a kept lover isn’t something you should do!” After Fiona said that, she kicked the chair away and left.Yvonne was taken aback. Did this mean Fiona already knew what had happened last night? How did she find out? Did she put a tracker on Jackson? As she thought about it, it felt all the more absurd. Yvonne finished the porridge and got up. Ms. Lane came over to remind her, “Miss, on your neck…”Yvonne reached out and touched her neck. She suddenly understood what was going on. She hurried upstairs and looked at her neck in the mirror!Jackson, that bastard! She finally understood why Fiona was acting so weirdly. Yvonne found a silk scarf and wrapped it around her neck before she went out of the house with her bag.She saw a black car parked on the r
“There’s no mistake. I asked my uncle and he confirmed it!” Zachary stared at Yvonne blankly. After a while, he burst out and yelled, “Get lost!” Jackson stood on the balcony of a villa in Fragrant Hills Valley where he looked into the distance. Fragrant Hills Maple Villa was a lakeside villa estate he developed in South City, which could be described as living next to the waterfront. The villa was developed because of what Yvonne had once said to him. She missed the river behind the low-cost apartment very much and said that she would build a wooden house by the river in the future so that she could walk along the river with him when they were in their old age. She would also catch fish for him to eat every day. The design concept of Fragrant Hills Valley was based on what Yvonne had described to him. The villas were surrounded by mountains and built along the bank of the lake. The villa area was complete with streams, springs, waterfalls, cascading water features, and fount
Yvonne returned to the Summers household immediately after leaving the hospital. She sorted out her luggage and went straight to the airport. Miller made a good plan and thought she would obediently become his lover. Well, he should keep dreaming! Her act of submission last night was nothing but a benefit entitlement. If not for her son, she would never have pretended to submit or sign a contract. After being with Miller in the past, she had some understanding of him. He was capable of cheating and raising the son of the mistress, but he would not be shameless enough to publicize such private things. She had been back for a while and missed her son very much. Although Yosef gave her regular updates on her son and she spoke to Leo every day, she still could not help missing him. Yvonne decided to visit her son and avoid Jackson for a few days. She would return only after her ovulation period. If she could get pregnant right off the bat, she would just leave everything behind.
James looked at Jackson’s gloomy face and sighed. “President Miller, you shouldn’t have treated Ms. Yates that way. There was a reason why she fought with the madam the other day. The madam once asked someone to take her son away in the park and threatened to make her leave. Someone gave her a note that day, so…” Hence, she had a reason to look for his mother. Jackson knew about this. Thus, when Yvonne was arguing with his mother and even hit his mother, he put up with it. “You shouldn't have gotten engaged to Ms. Summers so quickly!” James knew that Jackson always had Yvonne in his heart. Jackson did not speak. His engagement to Fiona was not because Yvonne had fought with his mother but because she said a successful person never looked back and she despised him. As for Fiona, she could not have children and he felt sorry for her. Since he could not get the woman he loved, he acted impulsively and made the worst decision. Jackson’s eyes darkened a little. “Have you found the i
“Jackson, I really didn't do it. I don't have deep hatred for Yvonne. When I threatened her before, I just didn’t want you to have anything to do with her. Besides, I’m also a single mother. Knowing that a child is everything to a mother, how could I do such a deranged thing as throwing a child into a ditch?” Jade’s words made Jackson sigh with relief. As long as it was not his mother, everything would be alright. “Jackson, why do you look so glum? What happened?” Jade asked tentatively. “Nothing, I just feel sorry for the child for losing his father’s love at such a young age.” Jackson stood up and took an oath, “I must find the heartless person who threw such a young child into the ditch!” The housekeeper brought a cup of tea over. Hearing those words, her face changed all of a sudden. Susan had just returned home. When her phone rang, she immediately picked it up. Sarah’s nervous voice was heard. “Madam, it’s bad. Mr. Miller is going to investigate who took the child away
Pearlie’s face did not look pleasant either. “Yosef, you haven't come back for several days. Grandma misses you very much. She even asked the kitchen to cook your favorite dishes.” “I know, I’ll visit her tomorrow,” Yosef replied and hung up the call. “Grandma, Yvonne is too hateful!” Pearlie had unspeakable hatred for Yvonne. “She used her son to string Yosef along but she’s hooking up with Zachary Quimby. I heard that she’s also messing around with her ex-husband. What exactly does she want?” Old Madam Turner was extremely upset. The matter between Yvonne and her grandson had always been a knot in her heart. Back then, she was naturally opposed to Yvonne dating her grandson due to Yvonne’s simple background. However, she never expected that Yvonne would be Jared Summers’ daughter. If Yvonne revealed her identity, then she would definitely not stop her from being with Yosef. However, Yvonne would rather break up with Yosef than talk about her background. It was clear that she
Gordon pushed away the hand which was grabbing his collar. “Just like how you don’t fancy Pearlie, I never wanted to marry Janice Hardy. I told Janice from the beginning that I was never going to marry her. Cindy Yates was the one I loved, but what did Janice do to me? She promised me that she wouldn’t pester me but she was plotting against me behind my back. She made Cindy see us making love on the bed, and she broke up with me because of this. Your mother was never innocent. I became like this all because of her! Do you understand?” “Nonsense!” Zachary refused to believe that his gentle mother would scheme against someone. “I’m not talking nonsense, you can ask Janice about it. After that night, she got pregnant with you. She was expecting a boy, so we were forced to marry. I was devastated after losing Cindy and I had nothing to lose. In the end, we became a pair of fake husband and wife.” There was a trace of a bitter smile on the corner of Gordon's lips. “We were supposed to
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
