That night, Tabitha tossed and turned on the couch restlessly. She would crack her eyes open from time to time just to glance in Camille's direction.

Soon, the night was over. Nothing happened at all.

When Tabitha woke up in the morning, she was so tired that she kept yawning the whole time. Camille knew what was troubling the housekeeper, yet she still asked on purpose, "Did you not sleep well last night, Tabitha?"

"No," the older woman replied instinctively. Then she lied: "It's just that I'm used to sleeping on my bed. I'll get used to sleeping on the couch after a day or two."

"I see." Camille didn't continue the topic after that. Instead, she said, "Ariel will be here soon. There's no need for all of us to take care of Stephen at the same time, so I think I'll pop over to visit Conan."

"Okay," Tabitha replied.

As she watched Camille walk out of the room, she couldn't help but feel puzzled. Had she truly changed? She did seem like she wanted to take care of Stephen properly.

    Curtis reported everything he'd heard to Yvonne right away.She happened to be in a meeting when she received the call. Yvonne ended the meeting immediately upon hearing the news. As she got up to leave the conference room, she instructed Curtis to keep Camille at the school.Although Yvonne did think Stephen was a jerk, she didn't want him dead. For some reason, whenever she entertained the idea of Stephen's life being in danger, she couldn't help but feel anxious. However, that sense of anxiety also made her feel inexplicably angry.With a deep frown on her face, Yvonne slammed her palm onto the car horn once, as if she were venting her emotions on it.

    "Do you not understand what I just said?" Yvonne looked a little impatient.Camille quickly shook her head in response. "N—no! It's just—""It's all good as long as you understand the warning. There's no need for you to know more than this." Yvonne then got up and left the lounge once she was done speaking.Curtis, who'd been standing outside the lounge, threw his cigarette away the moment he noticed Yvonne coming out. He followed her out of the school. Once both of them walked through the school gate, he finally asked, "You exposed your identity just to protect Stephen. Is he really worth it?""There's no such thing as being worthy." Yvonne refused to take any risks when it concerned Stephen's life. Exposing her identity and using it to threaten Camille was the safest solution. Besides, Camille would definitely keep Yvonne's identity a secret because of Conan.Yvonne opened the car door as she turned around to look at Curtis. "Thank you for notifying me in time."He just scowled

    Soon after Charles and Camille had left Oceania Villa, Stanley dropped by to visit Stephen.Stephen sat on his bed while gazing at the blue sky outside the window, clearly immersed in his own thoughts. He didn't even bother to glance at Ariel, who sat next to him. Ariel was hesitantly holding a glass of water for him. She'd noticed how cold and distant Stephen was toward her and didn't know what to say in order to break the silence.When she heard Stanley's footsteps approaching her, she turned around to look at him. Then she shot him a gentle smile. Stanley nodded his head at her as a form of acknowledgment before grabbing the glass of water from Ariel's hands. After that, he sat on the chair in front of Stephen and passed it to him."Have some water. No matter how long you stare at the sky, you can't magically wish for her to appear in front of you right now."Stephen glanced at his friend upon hearing his voice. His eyes were completely devoid of any light or hope, as though he'

Rachel glared at the man angrily. "Since you're on Stephen's side, that means we don't share the same views! It's best if we don't speak to each other ever again!"With that, she dragged Yvonne toward Miller Villa. "Vonnie, there's no need for us to waste our time talking to people like him and Stephen!""Rachel, I didn't—" Before Stanley could finish his sentence, Rachel pushed him to the sidewalk and slammed the iron gates in his face.Once she entered the villa, she pulled out her phone angrily and blocked Stanley on all messaging apps and social media platforms, cursing at him."I thought he was a good guy! It turns out that he and Stephen are the same! Both of them are massive jerks!""Hon

    Soon, Yvonne found out the answer to her question.After the winners were announced, the large screen started showcasing the design drafts that they had submitted. Yvonne's eyes darkened considerably when Kayla's draft came on the screen.Green agates and golden metallic threads were woven into a flower crown. The goldsmithing technique used to craft the piece of jewelry was very intricate. Little details were hidden in the design; if one were attentive enough to spot them, it showed the designer's crafty and brilliant mind.That draft lived rent-free inside Yvonne's mind. After all, it was one of Tara's designs that had never been publicized. A contemptuous smile curled on her lips at the realization. So, Tara's designs had indeed been in the Joneses' clutches this entire time.Yvonne remembered that despicable family burning those drafts right before her eyes years ago. Yet now, Kayla had used one of those very designs to participate in the competition. Every single detail was dr

Realizing that she was cornered, Kayla felt her heartbeat start to accelerate as she asked shyly, "What question do you have in mind, Xav?""What's with the draft?" Xavier asked in a low tone."I—I designed it. What's wrong with it?"Kayla seemed to have prepared for the scenario in advance. She blinked innocently at Xavier with doe eyes. "Don't you want me to become the winner of the competition? Aren't you happy for me now that I snagged third place in the preliminary round?"Xavier just stared at Kayla wordlessly. He'd seen her portfolio before; regardless of skill and style, it was completely different from the draft that had been shown on the screen today. The only possible explanation was that Kayla had found herself a ghost designer.Meanwhile, Kayla felt uneasy and guilty. She couldn't help but tense up when she noticed

Many of the netizens preferred Kayla's design. Hence, many netizens started encouraging Kayla to mass produce her design and release it on the market as soon as possible.Yvonne scanned the comments on the internet before shooting Andy a lazy look. He must have known that she would look for him right away because he hadn't dared to look her in the eye since he'd entered the study. Yvonne pushed the printed draft toward Andy before gently tapping a slender finger on it. "You can surprise the consumers by decorating this section with micro-paves. Also, there's no need to decorate this part with blue gems."She pointed out all the flaws in the design in a relaxed manner. Yet each time her finger moved to a new spot

    Yvonne stood by the door of the bedroom and looked at Otto, who was looking out of the window in a daze on the bed.The sun shone on his face. He looked quite hungover and had a sickly pale face.Yvonne hesitated for a while before saying gently, "Mrs. Jenner called me last night. She's worried about you."Otto didn't respond.Yvonne went in closer and added, "She said that you called her and asked about your father. She found it strange."Mr. Carrington, why did you suddenly think about your father? Did Mrs. Carrington Senior bring him up yesterday?"All Yvonne got was silence.Luckily, she was patient. She sat on the couch and followed Otto's line of sight. Tiny dust particles were floating among the sunbeams. Yvonne also fell into a daze as she watched them float about.Suddenly, Otto asked, "Have you ever felt like your world was falling apart?""Hmm?" Yvonne was confused. "For example?""I mean, like the person that you trust turns out to be different from what you'd t

    The next morning, Yvonne opened her door to see Stephen standing outside. She was caught off guard."What is wrong with you this morning? Why didn't you knock…"While talking, Yvonne noticed that Stephen was still wearing the same clothes as the night before. She furrowed her brows and asked, "Don't tell me you didn't leave last night? Have you been standing outside this door all this while?""Hmm." Stephen looked at Yvonne intently. "I thought you would've figured it out quickly."Yvonne was speechless, but she thought to herself that she'd slept like a baby the night before.She smiled at him. "Figure what out?" She noticed Stephen frowning as though he were on the brink of losing his temper.She quickly added, "I-I mean, you have to give me a hint, right? I've thought about it the entire night, but I still don't understand. My brain isn't functioning well."Stephen asked suspiciously, "You've been thinking about it the entire night?""Yes, which is why I didn't look for yo

    "If I hadn't come to find you tonight, you probably wouldn't tell me anything about what happened tonight, would you?" Stephen asked in retort.It wasn't a big deal, as long as they returned safely. Yvonne wondered why she needed to report this to him.But she still smiled. "It's late. How could I disrupt your rest? It would've been the same if I told you about it tomorrow morning, right?"Stephen sniggered. "Yvonne, you still don't know where you've gone wrong."He suddenly went in closer to her. Yvonne instinctively retreated until her back was up against the wall. She glared at him."What on earth is wrong with you? I've already said that I would've told you tomorrow morning—"A punch went past Yvonne and landed brutally on the wall.Yvonne was a little stunned. She looked into Stephen's eyes and furrowed her brows. "Stephen, I don't want to quarrel with you for no reason. "Mrs. Carrington Senior went to look for Otto today.

She was just about to get up when Cory pulled her back.He grabbed her by her chin and forced her to look at him. "What happened when you went out?""N-Nothing."Cory tightened his grip. Jane furrowed her brows in pain. "I-I… I saw Yvonne. She told me that she and Stephen got remarried.""What?" Cory relaxed his grip a little. "They got remarried?""Hmm.""So, what?" He had no intention of letting her go, and he looked at her sharply. "Does it bother you so much that Stephen got remarried?"Jane looked at Cory frantically. "Cory, what do you mean by that?""What do I mean? You know what I mean."Cory went in closer. His tone turned icy. "You used to pursue Stephen.

    Yvonne turned around to see Jane smiling at her ambiguously. She furrowed her brows. How were they always bumping into each other?Jane crossed her hands in front of her chest and leaned against the wall. She swept her gaze at Calbert and Otto. "Two guys and one woman. You sure know how to have fun!"Calbert instantly snapped, "What the hell are you talking about?""Why are you being so fierce? Did I hit the nail on the head?" Jane snickered.

He gently closed the door and reminded the secretary that no one was to disturb Otto.In the office, Otto was alone. He slowly walked over to the couch and slumped into it.
