After dinner, Yvonne went to the ladies' room while Stephen waited for her.Kayla noticed Yvonne leaving and made an excuse to head to the ladies' room as well. Xavier understood what she was trying to do, but he didn't stop her.Up until that day, he would still fume in rage at the thought of the hickey on Yvonne's neck when he'd gone to see her at Oceania Villa after his engagement.After that day, he'd promised his grandfather to marry Kayla, denying that he'd ever been interested in Yvonne.However, seeing the two of them there that day, he couldn't help but think about her once more. He never would have thought that Yvonne would make him miss her for that long.In the ladies' room, Yvonne was by the sink, watching Kayla in the mirror as she approached her."Who would have thought that you had it in you?" Kayla looked at Yvonne through the mirror and smiled condescendingly, saying, "With your ugly looks, you could still bag a man. Look at how slutty you're dressed. You're cle
There were fireworks by the riverside across Moonlight Hill every Valentine's Day. Naturally, Moonlight Hill had become the best spot to view the fireworks, which was why so many people had gathered there.Stephen held Yvonne's hand and walked past the crowd, heading for the top of the hill. Due to the differences in their status, Yvonne often found it unreal to spend time with Stephen. At that moment, walking among the crowd, she finally felt like it was real.She looked up at his back and smiled widely without realizing it. They had been together for almost three months. Although it hadn't exactly been delightful, she'd never regretted her decision to marry Stephen.She didn't believe in love, nor did she think that she'd fall for Stephen. She only felt that he was right for her. He was a great partner in crime, which was why she wasn't against this way of living.Soon, they reached the observation deck halfway up Moonlight Hill. Usually, the observation deck was open to the publ
In his room, Stephen briefly glanced through the fawning comments in his post. The photo he'd taken was of the unscarred side of Yvonne's side profile. At that point, everyone realized how pretty Yvonne looked without her scars.James directly tagged Stephen in the group, saying, "Stephen, my tactic worked, right? Back then, I used this on countless ladies! It never failed me once! How was it? Is Yvonne smitten? Women, am I right? Treat her well, and she'll fall for you."Stephen thought for a while. Yvonne must have been dazzled by the fireworks, not him. However, he'd had a good time too, so he wasn't going to let this get to him.He opened the gift Yvonne had given him. He took the bottle of perfume and gave it a whiff.He narrowed his eyes. The scent was unique. It was like walking in a quiet forest in the winter. It was cold and mature, with long base notes.Stephen smiled. Yvonne must have put quite a lot of effort into this gift.…The next morning, Rachel's call woke Y
Rachel had always trusted Yvonne, so she didn't hesitate and did exactly as she'd been told.The moment she posted the photo, Rachel immediately received a call from her manager, questioning why she hadn't given her team a heads-up before posting.Contrary to her panicked manager, Rachel had calmed down. "This is my personal matter. I'll handle it and bear the consequences."Then she ended the call, looked at Yvonne, and smiled. "Vonnie, I trust you."Yvonne wrapped her arm around Rachel's shoulder. "If you're sad, you can come over to Oceania Villa and stay with me, just like last time." Rachel shook her head. "I still have to be on set. Don't worry. I'm not the type who only cares about love and not about my job. I understand what I have to do. Plus, Miller Jewels' new product launch is next week. How could I disturb you?"She'd already made it so clear, so Yvonne could only let her be. "Alright. Come and look for me if anything happens. I'll be there, anytime."…After that
Everyone in the fashion industry knew that the September issue of the top fashion magazine was held in high regard.All these years, celebrities and fashion brands fought to the death to be in the September issue. Jones Jewels had tried everything they could but hadn't even gotten a seat at the table. And yet, Miller Jewels was featured in the September issue!Thomas found it hard to believe. He quickly got someone to contact the magazine editor to ask about it.The answer he got in return was no comment.Thomas punched the table in fury, giving everyone a scare. His employees looked at each other, not daring to let out a single breath.They knew that Miller Jewels getting featured in the September issue would soon spread like wildfire. The publicity would be much more influential than the live stream of the new product launch that night.At the same time, many people on the internet realized that the Valentine's Day gift boxes the celebrities had posted online had Miller Jewels'
That night, some were happy, and some were furious.Thomas angrily returned home. Katie stood up and was about to ask him about the new product launch when she saw him heading directly upstairs.She immediately knew something bad had happened. She went to his study and feebly opened the door. Before she could say anything, a book landed next to her feet."Fuck off! Don't come and bother me!""Dad."Upon hearing that it was Katie, Thomas suppressed his anger a little. He looked at her. "Why aren't you in bed yet?""It's still early." Katie picked up the book and walked over to Thomas. "Was the new product launch tonight not good?""No." Upon the mention of the new product launch, Thomas was infuriated. His expressions got uglier. "I don't know how Yvonne pulled the strings. She got on the cover of the September issue!"On the way home, Thomas had taken a look at what was trending on social media. The first few topics were all Miller Jewels!He realized that Yvonne had never put
Yvonne called Rachel, but her manager answered the phone instead."Rachel saw the news online. She's locked herself in her trailer and isn't letting anyone in to talk to her." The manager was feeling remorseful. "I should've stopped her from getting into a relationship with that scum!""It's not your fault. Look after Rachel. I'll go look for Dexter.""We haven't managed to find him yet.""As long as he isn't dead, we'll still be able to find him." Yvonne's anger was boiling over. She desperately wanted to get her hands on Dexter and beat him to a pulp.As she ended the call, she heard a knock on the door. Stephen walked in, and before she said anything, he calmly said, "I found Dexter."Yvonne was a little astonished. Then she grabbed Stephen's hand. "Let's go! Take me to him!"She went downstairs and found Stanley in the living room. Dexter slumped on the floor next to him, trembling like a leaf.Yvonne's fury instantly returned tenfold. She strode over to Dexter and grabbed
After Dexter posted his statement, it soon went viral.The people online who'd previously badmouthed Rachel finally realized that the random picture Rachel had previously posted had been hinting at Dexter!"That scumbag caused all this but didn't want to explain. He's such a coward. He only came forward to apologize after realizing that he couldn't hide the truth!""Now it looks like Rachel must have found out about the truth the night that news broke out. She said nothing because she must have been a victim too, right?""That girlfriend sure is strange. Her boyfriend cheated on her, but her entire post was aimed at tearing Rachel down."The internet was buzzing with comments. Most of them were on Rachel's side.Meanwhile, Yvonne had taken Dexter to a room at the back of the house for around 30 minutes. Dexter wailed miserably and begged for mercy until his voice gradually got weaker and weaker, until there was total silence.Stanley was standing next to Stephen. He got his phon
