“I’d love to punch him in the face!” Zachary was being honest. “Such a heartless man, I’ll beat him up every time I see him!”“You sounded like you’re a spoony guy.” Yvonne chuckled. “I am indeed a playboy, but I’m not married. If I’m married I’ll treat my wife well.”Yvonne shook her head. “Men always say something like this before getting married.” “I’m not that kind of person, for real!” Zachary panicked when she refused to believe what he said. “I can prove it to you.”It sounded like a proposal for Jackson, he stood up all of a sudden and walked toward Zachary. “President Quimby!”Zachary lifted his head. “President Miller is here for a meal too?” Then he saw Jade, he met her when he was a little boy. He stood up and walked toward her out of courtesy. “Hello, Ms. Lewis!”Ms. Lewis nodded and smiled, her gaze was on Yvonne. Yvonne acted as if she did not see them, she took the napkin and wiped her mouth slowly. That defiant look of her made her heart felt extremely uncomfo
”I don’t know! You’re the only one who knows about this!”"Oh really?" Zachary's brows furrowed, the fighting scene that night appeared before his eyes, it seemed like Jackson was holding Yvonne in his arms. "Yvonne, Jackson, and you, don't you both know each other?"“I know him, but he doesn’t!” Yvonne replied rapidly, Zachary slightly furrowed his brows, why did it feel like he was missing something.The reality match-making show had started broadcasting their first season, the viewers rating was good, it reached a 70% of high viewing rate. The next day the discussion about the reality match-making show was all over social media. The television marketing team did a good job, they made it a hot topic on forums and Weibo, and the re-sharing of some big scenes. It was impossible for it to not get popular. Susan had nothing to do, she was watching the television at home. Her interest kicked in when she switched to the live stream of the reality match-making show. She was enjoying
Zachary had just won the bid for the city development project, it was something he should be happy about. When he was happy, he would go to clubs to enjoy himself. However, after knowing Yvonne's identity, his happiness had gone away. He stayed at his condo every night, Felix was feeling weird about his sudden changes.President Quimby had changed a lot lately, he barely saw him going to the club for fun, at first, he thought the young master was recharging his energy.After a few days, he was still the same, he knew something had happened, something that he did not know. He was assigned by the old master Quimby to be Zachary's assistant, he had to watch over every move that Zachary was taking, so he was trying to figure out what made him change.However, no matter what he did, there was no way to figure it out. Zachary was full of energy when he was at work, but he was depressed after work. Zachary could not figure out the reason too, he felt he was infected with some kind of w
He was mad by just the thought of it, so he called Felix. “Do you know about the reality match-making show organized by the South City television station?”“Why are you asking this?” James was busy like a spinning top every day, he did not have the time to catch up with some variety show.“What have you been doing? You don’t even know about the match-making show!” Zachary was swearing while he hung up the call.Felix was feeling wronged, President Quimby was typically being unreasonable, but he had no choice. Beggars could not be choosers, he had no idea what was wrong with the match-making show, it seemed like he had to watch it. The match-making show was a hot topic, and of course, Felix did hear about it, he was curious why President Quimby was concerned about the show.After he got home, he switched on his computer and searched for the video. There he saw Yvonne was wearing braces when she was appearing on the screen, Felix thought he was seeing things.It was no doubt that
Zachary was pissed to the point that he could not continue watching the show.All these stupid men, how could they ignore Yvonne in such a manner, not even one of them chose her.He had to think of a way to help Yvonne, they were going to pay for not choosing Yvonne, but how?If Zachary did not hang up the phone, Felix would not dare to hang up too. He was listening to Zachary complaining on the other side of the phone. “Stupid men, they know nothing. I’m going to let all of you know how blind you are and make you all regret it!” Felix could not help himself but to interrupt him, “President Quimby, they probably saw the information that Yvonne was a single parent, and were put off for wearing braces and being ugly, that’s why they didn’t choose her.”“Do you have to say that?” Zachary snorted. “I have to think of a way to make Yvonne take off her mask, and make them all regret it!”“Isn’t that easy? Can’t we find someone to attend the show and pick assistant Yates?” What he sa
At first, Yvonne was looking forward to meeting the supreme being, but when she heard the host mentioning Zachary's name, she was stunned.Why did the rich heir join the show? The point was she had always thought that he was a typical rich heir, she had never heard of the achievements that the host mentioned before.When she was pondering, Zachary appeared in his casual wear on the stage. He was handsome, once he appeared, all eyes were on him.Yvonne suddenly heard the female guests beside her exclaim, “He’s tall and handsome, and he’s rich! A golden bachelor! A golden bachelor in the flesh!”‘Golden bachelor? He’s a playboy.’ Yvonne was unconvinced. ‘If you knew about his love affairs, let’s see if you’re still amazed by him!’ She thought to herself, then looked at the man who was grinning cheekily and acting all sappy at her, while Mr. Quimby sat on his seat. Some of the pretty female guests were to start getting into action, after all, they could not show their faces to Zacha
Zachary looked back. "Who said I liked female guest number four? I just thought she looked a little like a hostess I knew and wanted to check."The crowd was in an uproar as soon as he said that. Zachary smiled at Yvonne, regardless of what others thought.Yvonne thought it was going to be a romantic scene next, but she would never have dreamed that the guy had set his eyes on her."I like number five—Ms. Yvonne Yates!" Zachary raised his voice so everyone could hear him. With that, he handed the roses to Yvonne.Yvonne looked at him blankly. It was not until Zachary repeated it that she came to her senses. Instead of taking Zachary's roses, she started asking him three questions, "Mr. Zachary, what do you like about me?""Do need any reason to like someone?" Zachary was confident.The host tried to smooth things over. "Indeed. There's no reason to like someone. Mr. Zachary's fondness for Ms. Yvonne Yates is unconditional.""Yes! I like Ms. Yvonne Yates unconditionally and for n
Sandra was excited. "Yvonne, aren't you strapped for cash? Money is sent itself in our way. It doesn't hurt to take it, does it?""I don't want to be stared at every day. I'll have no privacy. Are you trying to kill me?" Yvonne did not think so."Don't worry. We've made your information confidential. There are more than a dozen people with the same name in this city. They won't find you."Yvonne was slightly relieved. "What's with that ID photo?"Sandra replied, "I don't know what's going on with that too. Could it have been Zachary?"Yvonne shook her head. "He doesn't have my photo, does he?""Forget it. Let's not talk about that right now. Let's figure out how to handle the interview. I know you don't like interviews, so it's going to be an interview with the TV station's in-house reporter. The show's gonna give you a pretty good paycheck when it airs.""Can we not do the interview?""No, I've said yes to it. You have to give me face no matter what.""But I really don't want
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
