Although he had eliminated a strong opponent, Jackson’s ease was only momentary. ‘Zachary was set on getting Yvonne, no? Why did he suddenly get engaged to Pearlie? Is it because he made Yvonne his lover?’No man could accept the fact that the woman they loved was sleeping with another man. Obviously, Zachary was no exception. Jackson suddenly felt a little guilty. Yvonne’s hatred for him was probably also because he was the one who separated them.He picked up his phone and called Yvonne, thinking of asking her out. However, no one answered the call and it kept ringing. In the end, Jackson could not take it anymore. He had to see Yvonne. After waiting around the Summers’ house for more than an hour, Jackson finally saw Yvonne. She had both her hands in her pockets and looked upset. He immediately walked toward her. “Yvonne Yates!”Yvonne looked at Jackson indifferently. “Do you need anything, Mr. Miller?”Jackson reached out and held Yvonne’s hands. “I have something to say.”“
Fiona’s facial expression was amusing to watch. Yvonne knew that she definitely had complicated feelings in her heart. After venting her anger, she swung Jackson’s hand away and left. After her departure, the man and woman left behind would be left to their own devices. It was no longer Yvonne’s business whether they ended up quarreling or reconciling.Fiona opened her car door and walked toward Jackson. “Jackson.”Jackson did not explain further, which meant that he admitted to whatever Yvonne said earlier. Fiona was furious on the inside but she did not show anything on her face. “Jackson, I know that you can’t forget about my sister. I don't blame you.”“I’m sorry.” Jackson left after saying that.Fiona watched as he took his leave. When she went back to her car, a look of ruthlessness appeared in her eyes. “Yvonne Yates, just you wait. I’ll not let you get away with this!”When Yvonne reached the entrance, she heard the sound of a car. Fiona was back. She wondered, ‘Logicall
Jade Lewis was invited to dinner by Roxanne Peay, and during the meal, Jackson Miller and Fiona Summers were mentioned. “When are Jackson and Fiona getting married?” “Do not mention it!” Jade Lewis sighed. “I am afraid there may be some unforeseen events regarding this matter.”“Unforeseen events?” Roxanne Peay’s heart sank. “Do you not like Fiona?”Jade placed her chopsticks down and told Roxanne about Yvonne, and the two quickly came to a conclusion. “Why did Yvonne Yates refuse to admit that she is Jared Summers’s daughter? Then, she suddenly came back when Fiona and Jackson got engaged and even moved in with the Summers. What is she up to?” “What else could she be up to? She’s venting her pent-up feelings on Jackson and Fiona, of course!” Roxanne replied. “I should be the one venting right now!” Jade treated Roxanne as a friend and was naturally unreserved. “I used to find every part about Fiona Summers likable, but now, I feel uncomfortable just looking at her. You already
“Brother, I would like your help with something.” “How am I supposed to help you when I am like this?” Wesley Yates asked. “It ought to be simple for you. I would like you to assist me in creating a venue design for the sports competition.”Wesley looked at Roxanne Peay, stunned, and asked, “Why do you want the sports competition’s venue design?” “I just need it. Please, help me brother.” Wesley frowned slightly and thought, ‘As a doctor, a sports competition’s venue design is of no use to Roxanne. Could she want it for the purpose of pleasing Gordon Quimby? That is highly implausible; Gordon Quimby is uninterested in his family's business, so why would he be paying attention to this?’The relationship between Roxanne and Jade Lewis suddenly crossed his mind, and he had a hazy idea of what Roxanne intended to do with the design, so he immediately declined. “I am afraid I will not be able to help you with your request.” “Why? Why are you not eager to help me, Brother? It sho
“Fine! Fine! Fine!” Roxanne Peay repeated herself three times. With a melanchonic tone, she said, “Indeed, love is blind! Beauty is, after all, in the eye of the beholder!” “*sshole! Would a human say something like this?” Wesley Yates said as he slapped her across the face. Roxanne accepted the slap without even attempting to avoid it, nor did she wipe the blood that was oozing from the corners of her mouth either. She simply looked at Wesley in the eye and said, “You have hit me twice now, Brother. You have hit me yet again for the sake of that b*tch!” “Do you not deserve it?” Wesley glared at Roxanne. “She is our sister. Do you think it is appropriate for someone to say all of these things?” “Sister? Is this not the first time you have addressed her as such? I remember you always used to call her ‘Cindy’ in the past.” Roxanne sneered. “Why do you like her if you already know she is our sister? There are so many beautiful women in the world. Why does it have to be her?” “Is i
Yvonne’s ovulation period was approaching soon. She had never been this excited for Jackson’s call, but it soon backfired. It was as though Miller had vanished without a trace; he never called her again.An unfamiliar phone call brought exciting news, despite the call not being from Jackson. It turned out that the résumé she submitted was chosen by a company and she had been requested for an interview. Yvonne sent her résumé to a firm called Yun Dan, which was a well-known firm in South City. When Yvonne first submitted her résumé, she did not have high expectations, so she was surprised to learn that she had been accepted. Yvonne was overjoyed at the unexpected surprise that this employment brought, and she informed Sandra Willies about it through the phone. Upon receiving the news, Sandra was also happy for her and invited her over for dinner to celebrate. However, Yvonne declined her kind offer because this was her celebration, so Yvonne ought to be the one to treat Sandra inst
The opportunity to stand alongside a distinguished person like Jackson Miller and exchange a few words was not an honor that was bestowed upon just anyone. The crowd surrounding him gave him a heartfelt greeting by endlessly addressing him as ‘President Miller’, and Jackson shook their hands indifferently. Throughout this period, his gaze would faintly drift toward Yvonne, but Yvonne diverted her gaze as soon as their eyes met. Only one thought occupied her mind, ‘This man is the worst.’ She was perplexed as to why he had not called her all this time, when it turned out he was simply too busy! Ella Pearson, who was behind Jackson, noticed Yvonne and smiled as she dashed over. “Ms. Yates!” She greeted Yvonne affectionately. “Ms. Pearson,” Yvonne greeted her back. Ella had taken the initiative to welcome her with a smile as a means of admitting her wrongdoings, and Yvonne accepted the apology by returning a faint smile.“I am currently an employee at the Miller Corporation.
Initially, they thought that she would take the initiative to converse with Jackson Miller’s companion. No one thought that she would just focus on eating. She completely ignored the woman beside her, which was also the person she needed to accompany.When the manager saw Yvonne Yates’s table manners, he could not help but shake his head. Her table manners were extremely poor–it was as if she had never eaten any delicious food in her life. ‘Seems like it is impossible for her to take the initiative.’ He nudged Yvonne to motion for her to propose a toast to Jackson.Since the manager had nudged her, Yvonne could no longer play the fool. Despite being focused on eating just now, she could still hear people praising Jackson non-stop. ‘Miller is really f*cking disgusting. He maintained a calm and relaxed look on his face after receiving such repulsive compliments.’ From this, she could see that he was indeed a hypocrite.An savage fire started burning in her heart. ‘You like compliments
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
