Yvonne sounded tired over the phone. Yosef was a very attentive person and immediately noticed the difference in her voice. "Yvonne, are you not feeling well?" Yvonne smiled. “Nope, I’m good.” “You must take good care of your body now that you’re pregnant and have to take care of Leo. You should not tire yourself out.” Yosef felt sorry whenever he thought about how exhausted Yvonne was. He exhorted her for a while more before he hung up. He was still not assured and immediately called Zachary to check on Yvonne’s condition. “I was about to report this to you!” Zachary sounded solemn when he told Yosef that Jade got into an accident and was in a coma now. Plus, Sarah accused Yvonne for being the mastermind.”Yosef was shocked. “How could this happen? Yvonne would not do that.”Zachary said, "I believe in Yvonne. She’s kind-hearted, and even if she hates someone, she won’t do something evil. She’s definitely being framed by someone else."“Does Jackson believe in her?” Yo
As Pearlie had too many thoughts going through her mind, she did not have much of an appetite. After eating half a bowl of rice, she left and sat on the couch in the living room. She continued to think of a plan.While she was deep in thoughts, Yosef's phone that was on the coffee table rang. Pearlie picked up his phone and took a look at the screen. It displayed the name ‘El’. When she was about to ask Yosef who El was, Yosef got up and took his phone away, answering the call.Pearlie was curious about who it was and decided to eavesdrop. She heard Yosef gently calling out to El. Yosef then said, “Oh dear, look at how bad my memory is! Keep it for me first. When I return, I’ll go get it from you. Thank you.” He then hung up the call.Pearlie asked Yosef, “Brother, who called you? It sounded like a woman? Are you cheating on Yvonne behind her back?”Yosef panicked and quickly explained himself, “What are you saying? I went to the villa in the outskirts to loosen the soil in the ro
Pearlie took a look at the phone and could not help but be surprised. “Brother, why does El look so much like Yvonne?”Yosef smiled. “Yes, even I think that both of them look alike. If it isn’t because Yvonne has no siblings, I would think that El is her sister.”“Really? Let me see.” Old Madam Turner reached out for Pearlie’s phone and took a look at the screen. “They do look alike. This woman is younger and prettier than Yvonne. Besides, she must be very docile.” Yosef smiled. “Grandmother, you’re so great to be able to tell someone’s personality just by looking at their photo. El is indeed very quiet and diligent. Ol’ Wilson and the others like her too. ”When Pearlie saw how Yosef was praising El, she thought of an idea. “Brother, why don’t we invite her over for a meal? It’s pitiful that a young lady like her has to endure such hardships in a foreign land. Furthermore, Grandmother likes a lively a
Those days when Timmy still had money, he often bragged about his relationship with the secretary. At parties, he was often surrounded by both men and women. Naturally, Sebastian’s girlfriend was among them.Sebastian loved his girlfriend dearly but the woman did not have as deep feelings for him. When she heard that Timmy was rich and single, she wanted Timmy.Someone later told Timmy in private that the woman liked him. At first, Timmy did not notice it but once his friend told him, he noticed that the woman often looked at him affectionately. Everyone was interested in Sebastian’s girlfriend but this woman was only interested in Timmy. Every man was hypocritical. Although Timmy was not very interested in her, he could not control himself after being seduced and they h
It was just that he was afraid his mother, Sarah, would object to it. Not only was Ruby a prostitute but she was also so much older than him. That meant that his mother would certainly not agree to their relationship, and since he was dependent on his mother, he had to slowly break the news to her.That day, Sebastian brought a few bottles of beer and some food to hang out with Timmy. While they were drinking, Sebastian suddenly asked him about his business. "Timmy, I recently heard that your nightclub is being closed down. Is it true?”"What did you hear?" Since Timmy had been lacking money recently, he was ashamed of his situation and did not go out much. Every day, he would lock himself up at home and browse the internet, completely unaware of what was happening outside."I heard that your nightclub was closed down and your partner had something to do with it. Apparently, your partner offended someone he shouldn’t have, so that’s why your nightclub was closed down.”"Huh? Who di
"I need to get my share of the money back.”"How are you going to do that? Secretary Summers is a powerful man but what do you have? How are you going to get the money back?”When Timmy heard Sebastian’s question, he was stunned. It was true. What power did he have? The only reason he had so much money was because of his mother. If it were not for his mother, he would not have anything at all, so it seemed that he would have to discuss the matter with his mother first.Timmy went to look for Sarah and told her what Sebastian had told him. Sarah was pissed, but as she was afraid that her son would stir up trouble due to his young age and aggressive character, she shook her head. "Susan helped me when I was at my lowest and was kind to me. I don't think she’d do that to us. We can't believe rumors so easily. ""Now that the rumors are out there, we’re the ones getting the shorter end of the stick. Since she has half of the money, she should think of splitting it with us. She shouldn’
At that time, her brother Jasper was also an influential person in Cat Lane. Naturally, the gangster who messed with La Rosa did not dare to offend her brother. Since Max rescued her, she was grateful for him. In the end, she seduced them and they slept together after.When she got pregnant, Jasper was furious and went around trying to find out who impregnated her. She kept her lips sealed, and in the end, the matter slowly got covered up. Max was so scared by her brother that he went out of town to hide for a while.After, when her brother caught Max and brought him back, Max still treated her well because of her brother. When Max moved to another city to be a truck driver, he still kept in touch with her.One time, she went to see Max when he was a little drunk and he told her a secret. He told her that La Rosa told him to hit someone with his truck but he did not want to do it. Naturally, Ruby told Max that he should not do something like that and persuaded Max not to do it.Whe
After she got the photo from Yosef, Pearlie went back to her room and closed the door. She picked up her phone and looked at Ella's photos again. When she got a closer look, a smile appeared on her lips. She was worried about how to make sure Yosef did not come back from overseas, but unexpectedly, she found Ella who looked just like Yvonne. Immediately, she came up with a good idea and decided to use this unidentified girl to make Yosef stay.That was why she pretended to empathize with Ella's situation and asked Yosef to take Ella home. After that, she tried to find an opportunity to carry out her plan. However, before she could begin her plan, she had to fulfill the promise she made earlier by sending Ella's photo to her good friend Mindy and asking Mindy's husband to help her find out Ella's identity.These past few days, both Matriarch Turner and Yosef had been very angry with her. They no longer treated her with love and affection like before because of Yvonne. They were much c
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
