A pungent smell spread throughout the room. Jackson Miller held back his nausea and reluctantly brought Yvonne Yates to the bathroom.Yvonne felt much better after she spat out a mouthful of vomit. She could not help but laugh when she saw Jackson covered in filth. “Miller! You asked for it!”Jackson turned on the shower and doused both of them in water. The pungent smell had subsided, but now, he and Yvonne were both soaked. “Miller, what are you doing?!” Yvonne shouted at Jackson. She was unable to open her eyes since water obstructed her vision.“Helping you to sober up!” Jackson answered coldly. After showering for a while, the pungent smell was no longer there, and he stopped.Jackson was uncomfortable in his wet clothes, so he started to undress. When Yvonne saw him taking off his clothes, she turned around and walked away. However, he grabbed her and reached over to take off her clothes.Yvonne struggled desperately, but what was she against Jackson Miller? Soon, he had und
“You!” Jackson Miller’s face turned as pale as a sheet. He grabbed the shower and cleaned himself quickly. Then, he wrapped himself up with a towel and strode out the bathroom.Yvonne Yates breathed a sigh of relief. During the years she was married to him, she had understood his temperament well. Just now, she intentionally provoked him to make him angry, because that was her only chance to escape.Yvonne was paying attention to any movement outside while she took her bath. It was so quiet out there that she could not hear anything. After spending a long time in the bathroom, Yvonne wrapped herself with a towel and slowly walked out of the bathroom. When she opened the bathroom door, there was no sign of Jackson.‘Seems like Miller left when I was in the bathroom. But how did he leave? Does he have any spare clothes in the room?’ She went to open the closet with this thought in mind. She was surprised to see a full closet of his clothes.‘No wonder Miller takes a hotel card with h
Yvonne Yates headed straight back home after she left the hotel. On the way home, she realized that in the spur of the moment, she had done something wrong tonight. How should she explain her relationship with Jackson Miller to her manager?When she went to work the next day, her mind was in turmoil. She was worried that the manager would ask about the details about her relationship with Jackson. However, everything played out differently than she thought. The manager treated her the same as usual, and he did not gossip about where she and Jackson had been after they left last night.Yvonne breathed a sigh of relief. She secretly rejoiced that she had met a good manager. She did not know that his behavior was not because that the manager was unconcerned about gossip, it was because he did not dare to ask. Last night, after she was taken away by Jackson, James Larson went to the manager and said a few words to him. The implication was that the manager should be good to her, and he cou
It was neither Ella Pearson’s intention nor did she expect to find such an important clue. The two identical jade pearls were left by her mother. ‘Could there be any special relationship between her and Yvonne?’Soon after Ella went back to the company, Jackson called her to go to his office. His complexion was very bad. “Why did you go to see Yvonne?”“I...” Ella hesitated. ‘Should I tell Jackson about it?’Despite knowing Ella for so long, Jackson never once asked about her dilemmas and she never took the initiative to share it too. However, this matter was a little bit tricky, she would not be able to find the truth with her own ability, so why not ask Jackson for help?Ella then told Jackson about the matter and he was obviously surprised about it. The reason he called her was to tell her that she had similar eyebrows with Yvonne. Now that he heard about the jade pearls from Ella, he stared at her carefully again, the more he stared at her the more he thought that Ella and Yvon
After Fragrant Hills Valley was built, it was once the hottest topic in the restaurant. Yvonne did not know Jackson was the one who built the villa. After all, she was going through some tough times, how could she still be in the mood to pay attention to such things?After she opened the door, she was shocked at the sight that Miller actually set aside such a beautiful house to take care of a mistress, what a generous man. Yvonne only brought some of her clothes and belongings with her, Yvonne smirked when she saw the fluffy cartoon slippers sitting inside the shoe cabinet. She liked to buy cartoon stuff when she used to live with Jackson back then.Yvonne would usually have cartoon items including slippers, pajamas, and cups but Jackson thought that anyone who liked cartoons was childish. Now that she saw the cartoon slippers in the shoe cabinet, she really thought that she was looking in the wrong place. After all these years of wandering around, she was no longer the girl who
Their whispers of love had finally come to an end, and the car was also pulled over in front of the Sichuan restaurant.“This Sichuan restaurant is small, but it is authentic,” Jackson got out of the car while telling Yvonne, “I have eaten here twice, the food is very delicious.” Yvonne followed close behind Jackson in silence. He was obviously a regular here, the boss walked up to Jackson and greeted him as an old friend once he saw him.Soon, they were led to a private room. The waitress also brought two Sichuan cuisine common appetizers, pickled radish and chicken feet with pickled peppers. Jackson took the initiative to pick a slice of radish with chopsticks for Yvonne. “Try this, this is the most delicious radish I have eaten in this restaurant.”Yvonne looked at the radish in front of her and smiled bitterly. ‘The most delicious pickled radish!’ For rich people like Jackson, eating pickled radish once in a while was indeed delicious. For her, however, it was just another typ
“Yvonne Yates, are you going to keep calling me President Miller?”“Why not? Should I call you younger brother-in-law instead?” Yvonne asked back.The atmosphere dropped to the freezing point. Jackson was livid with rage as he raised his chopsticks to pick up a piece of fish and stuffed it into his mouth. Suddenly, an accident occurred. There was a fishbone in the fish fillet and it got lodged in Jackson’s throat. He desperately tried to find something to swallow in an attempt to dislodge that fishbone in his throat. Be it drinking water or drinking vinegar, the fishbone was firmly lodged onto his throat and would not go down. In the end, Yvonne suggested that he immediately go to the hospital to see the doctor. It was supposed to be a good dinner but Jackson was so embarrassed, just because he swallowed a fishbone. Although the bone was taken out by the doctor, his mood was already totally ruined. On his way back, his face darkened and not a single word was uttered throughou
Yvonne was worried that Jackson would bring some weird people back, so she decided to clean the bedroom and even replaced the bed sheets and covers. She then went into the bathroom and started cleaning again before she took a shower. After she came out from the toilet, she saw Jackson sitting on the couch in the bedroom. She was startled and changed her tone, “Why did you come back?”“This is my house, am I not allowed to come back?” Jackson asked. “Sorry, my bad!” Yvonne apologized. Jackson stood up and walked towards her. Yvonne took a step backward subconsciously. He then reached out and took her in his arms. “Are you scared that I will do something to you?”His voice was magnetic and seductive, yet Yvonne did not fall for that, instead, she pushed him away. “Not tonight…”Seeing his deep gaze at her, she immediately explained. “I just moved over, I am not ready with anything….” “What do you need to prepare?” Jackson felt sad when he saw her face, as if she was looking at
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
