Yvonne wanted to head to bed earlier that night so that she would be well-rested to carry out Conan's second treatment the next day. She'd already washed up and laid in bed when she received James' message. She opened the photo, and all her sleepiness vanished with just one look.That woman's hand was on Stephen's thigh, yet Stephen hadn't rejected her!Although it was a loveless marriage, that didn't mean he could cheat on her! She'd only agreed that he could get back together with Ariel. That didn't mean she'd allowed him to sleep with other women!"I'll come over right now." Yvonne sent the message and got dressed.She followed the location James had sent her and reached the club within less than an hour. The moment she entered, she saw James waiting for her in the lobby."Yvonne, you're here. I wasn't paying any attention to Stephen. When I looked for him once more, he was gone! I asked the receptionist and found out that he'd gone upstairs with another woman."How dare he
The moonlight peeked through the clouds, shining into the room through the window.Under the moonlight, two bodies intertwined in lust. It wasn't until midnight that things finally settled down.Stephen hugged Yvonne the entire night without letting her go.The next morning, Yvonne was woken up by the phone vibrating on the floor. She groggily recalled that she'd arranged Conan's second appointment for today. She was stunned and instantly opened her eyes.Luckily, Stephen was sleeping soundly, so she could escape from his arms. She slipped off the bed and gently picked up her clothes and phone. She only relaxed in relief once she was out of the room, but then she realized that her back hurt. She clutched her lower back and walked out, secretly cursing Stephen.She left the club and got in the car. She remembered that she still had to get the morning-after pill. She had the contraceptives at home, but the incident last night had been too unexpected, so she didn't have anything on h
The group members looked at each other. No one dared to admit their mistake.Curtis picked up the incense holder and stood up. "I'm the group leader. I didn't do a good job overseeing things. It's my fault."Yvonne looked at him when she heard his words.When she'd first gotten the list, she'd deliberately looked into the group leader's information. The man standing in front of her looked exactly like his photo. However, he looked even more fierce in person. No wonder he'd followed Gwen to do international aid relief work in the past. He'd witnessed gunfire, and naturally, he had an air of death around him compared to ordinary people. However, Yvonne had also seen many men like him.She looked at Curtis coldly and said in the same stern tone, "It looks like Gwen didn't teach you well. How could you make such a stupid mistake?""You can come at me, but don't insult Gwen!" Curtis suddenly flared up. He took three steps toward Yvonne. "Do you think I even wanted to do such a lowly jo
"Conan, what are you going on about? How could you have possibly seen her there?" Camille reached out and patted Conan on the head. She looked at him gently and asked, "Did you have a nightmare?"Conan shook his head and muttered. "It's not a nightmare. It's not.""It must be." Camille was sure of it. Conan had gone through this many times. In the past, every time he woke up, he'd say that he saw monsters under his bed and decided to sleep on the floor for a month. She had to lie to him, saying that the monsters had gone back to their home, in order to convince him to return to bed. She'd heard all sorts of absurd stories, let alone the one about him seeing Yvonne.Camille hugged Conan and gently coaxed, "Conan, don't be afraid. Once you're cured, you won't have these strange dreams anymore.""It's not a dream!" Conan pried Camille's hands away and glared at her angrily. Other than repeating, "It's not a dream," he said nothing else.Camille had no choice but to give in to him. "A
Stephen sat alone in the room until dusk before slowly coming out of his thoughts.Only lovers tested each other like this. James had helped him test Yvonne. Even if it hadn't been his intention, what was done was done. Yvonne was a smart woman. She would guess what was going on sooner or later. How would she view him then?In the end, he was the one who'd crossed the line in their clear transactional relationship. Stephen's head hurt from thinking about it. He gave up and went to take a shower before returning to Oceania Villa.He was going to deal with it one step at a time when he saw Yvonne.…At night, Yvonne received a call from Gwen. She was just about to complain when Gwen informed her that Curtis had gotten drunk in a bar.Yvonne was baffled. "How was he still in the mood to get drunk? I nearly got into trouble because of him!"Luckily, nothing too serious happened this time. According to her team member's report, Camille didn't suspect her. If not, she would be think
The sound of a glass bottle shattering rang out, along with a muffled grunt behind her.Yvonne jumped. She turned around to see Xavier smiling at her. Xavier had taken the hit on his back. It hurt a lot, but when he saw Yvonne, he was happy. Soon, the men Xavier had brought with him took control of the situation.The thugs' leader, Dax, immediately recognized Xavier. He anxiously went up. "Mr. Robinson, w—why are you here You …"Dax noticed that Xavier's back was bleeding, and the blood was seeping through his shirt. He was instantly horrified and yelled out loud, "Who the hell hurt Mr. Robinson? Stand up right now!"A thug was pushed out of the group, trembling in fear.Dax went up and kicked him before handing Xavier a beer bottle. "Mr. Robinson, do it to him and teach him a lesson for me."Xavier turned to pass the bottle to Yvonne. "He was coming for you. Why don't you do it?"It wasn't the time to find fault, and Yvonne wasn't in the mood. She furrowed her brows and looke
Yvonne said nothing but merely splashed a bottle of antiseptic solution on his wounds.Xavier was in so much pain that he said through gritted teeth, "Are you trying to kill me?""If you don't want it to hurt, you better be good," Yvonne warned coldly.Xavier was dejected. He'd never met a woman like Yvonne who wouldn't fall for any of his tricks. He'd already gotten hurt because of her, but she was still so unfriendly! Was her heart made of stone? Xavier finally quieted down. He couldn't help but recall the image of Yvonne in the back alley a moment ago. A desire slowly built up in his heart. In the back alley, she'd been like a feral cat, wandering in the dark with a lust for blood.While he was terrified of her, he had a strong urge to dominate her. He must have Yvonne!"All done." Yvonne put the first aid kit away and calmly said, "Please help me keep tonight a secret. Don't tell other people that I was here to rescue that man.""Who is he?" Xavier asked. "He must be import
After leaving the hospital, Yvonne returned to the Oceania Villa and changed her clothes, planning to head to Miller Tower.As she was halfway down the stairs, she saw Stephen, who'd just entered. He looked at her coldly, his demeanor so frosty that it was a complete juxtaposition with the sunlight shining through.Yvonne was alarmed. He looked like he was there to interrogate her."Where were you last night?" Stephen asked coldly."I …" Yvonne didn't know how much Stephen knew, and she wasn't sure if she should tell the truth. She hesitated for a while before asking in retort, "What did you hear?"Stephen was so furious that he almost laughed. How dare this woman beat around the bush with him?"Get down here!" Stephen barked.Yvonne was so surprised that she was almost in tears. She obediently went to Stephen. She racked her brain, but she had no idea what to say. Was she really going to die at Stephen's hands?"Yvonne, what on earth are you trying to do?" Stephen tried to sup
