Yvonne immediately pushed the doctor at the side of the bed away and checked Elizabeth's pulse. The longer she felt her pulse, the tighter she furrowed her brows.The doctor was unhappy. "Who are you? Can't you see I'm trying to save someone? What are you doing—" Yvonne shot him a cold glare, and the doctor immediately shut up. This lady seemed young, but why was her gaze so terrifying?Yvonne turned to rummage through the doctor's medical bag. She took some needles out and started performing acupuncture on Elizabeth.She moved with speed as if she had the entire map of acupuncture points in her brain. Every needle was placed with precision and confidence.The doctor had been in the medical field for so many years. This was his first time seeing a 20-something young lady who possessed such great acupuncture skills. Looking at Yvonne performing acupuncture, he was deeply ashamed of himself. However, to an outsider who knew nothing, it seemed terrifying.Hazel furrowed her brows.
Lloyd thought quickly and responded, "I just started working for Ms. Miller two days ago. How could I have met you before?"Yvonne naturally gave Lloyd a look and chimed in. "Stephen, are you using this as an excuse to find something to talk about when you have nothing to talk about? Isn't that a little low for you?"Stephen was silent for a while. He finally looked away from Lloyd. Lloyd pretended to stay calm. He secretly gulped. Stephen's gaze was terrifying!Stephen turned to Yvonne. "Did you go after Jones Jewels?""Yes." Yvonne couldn't be bothered to waste time with him, so she admitted it straightaway. Seeing how aloof she looked, the words he'd formed got stuck in his throat. Yvonne got a little impatient. She said, "If you have nothing else, I'm leaving." Then, Yvonne signaled for Lloyd to get in the car. Stephen regained his senses when he heard the engine start, but he only managed to catch a glimpse of the car speeding away. He stood rooted in his spot. He'd initiall
It was less than a week until the court adjourned.Thomas was extremely anxious. He had no option but to go meet the Robinsons with Monica and Kayla. Kayla and Xavier's marriage had been announced to the entire city. At this point, both families were seen as one, sharing the glories and downfalls together.He was sure that Arthur wouldn't just sit and do nothing at such a time.Thomas had just sat down. Before he'd said anything, Arthur asked directly, "What is the problem with your new product?"It was so embarrassing to describe the problem. Thomas didn't dare to look at Arthur. "Those designs were Tara Miller's. We never thought that Yvonne would have the patent rights to them. She … took Jones Jewels to court."Arthur's expression instantly darkened. He turned to look at Kayla. "How dare you use other people's designs to take part in a competition?" He'd thought that Kayla had potential. If she'd won and married Xavier, she would have added a lot of value to their family.It
Old Mr. Robinson had just poured himself some tea when he saw Caleb. He was slightly taken aback. "Caleb, why are you …"The next second, his gaze fell on Yvonne, who was standing next to him. He immediately said, "You two came together?""Yes, Old Mr. Robinson, isn't it a coincidence? I was just sending over some documents to Miller Jewels when I saw your butler inviting her." Caleb comfortably took a seat. "You won't blame me for coming over to crash your meal, right?"Arthur furrowed his brows. "What documents were you sending to Miller Jewels?""We're collaborating." Caleb smiled and looked at Thomas next to Arthur. "You are …?""Thomas Jones of Jones Jewels." Arthur simply introduced them before looking at Yvonne. "I asked you here today not to beat around the bush. I want to talk to you about the designs."Yvonne had already predicted this would happen. She immediately smiled. "There's nothing to talk about, right? Kayla took my mother's design to join a competition. She an
As they left Robinson Residence, Caleb walked next to Yvonne. "Ms. Miller, you're amazing for daring to be so bold in front of Old Mr. Robinson. No one in the entire Northerna City would dare to do that.""I was only arguing my case." Yvonne was a little exhausted. Judging by Arthur's reaction, he didn't seem like he'd easily give up on the Jones family. Perhaps the Robinsos might even put some money into Jones Jewels. If that were to happen, once this had passed, Jones Jewels would be resurrected once more.Just the thought of it irritated her. She didn't understand it. Was Kayla really that worth it?"But," Caleb reached his hand out to stop Yvonne in her tracks and gently continued, "You really have to think carefully. If this blows up, you'll become enemies with the Robinson family."Yvonne smiled. "Even if I don't treat them as my enemy, they were never planning to go easy on me."Since that was the case, she would rather just face them head-on. Moreover, the Robinsons might
The moment Xavier's plane landed, he went straight to Robinson Residence.In his study, Arthur was talking on the phone with the finance department of Robinson Group. Suddenly, the call was cut off. Arthur looked at the finger that was firmly pressing against the landline. He looked up and asked, "Why have you returned?""If I hadn't returned any sooner, you might have emptied Robinson Group's capital to help out Jones Jewels." Xavier continued, saying frostily, "I spent a huge amount of money on the green agate mine. There isn't enough on the accounts for you to do charity.""How much would a mine cost, you—""3.6 billion dollars."Arthur widened his eyes in disbelief. "Have you gone mad? Why did you spend so much on a mine? Have you considered how long it will take to recuperate? You're really getting out of hand! Spending so much money without discussing it with the board! Making decisions on your own!" Arthur was so angry that his chest hurt. "Robinson Group will die in your
Thomas grabbed Monica's hand, but she was out of her mind and terrifyingly strong."Don't stop me! I'm going to meet the Robinsons! They promised that they would help us! Is this how they help us? How could they just leave us to fend for ourselves?"Slap! Thomas slapped Monica in the face. Monica was baffled. She looked at Thomas stiffly and finally calmed down. Thomas, on the other hand, flared up and asked, "What are you doing right now? You've already destroyed our family; are you going to embarrass yourself in front of the Robinsons now?""What …" Monica couldn't believe her ears. "What do you mean I destroyed our family?""Well, am I wrong?" Thomas' face turned red with rage. "If you hadn't encouraged Kayla to use Tara's designs for the competition, would we have ended up like this today? Monica, I've always told you not to be so greedy! Stop with your fantasies of marrying your daughter into a rich family! You have to look at her capabilities too!"Monica pounced on Thomas
Seeing Monica's face turn purple from lack of oxygen, the butler jumped into action. He frantically went up to Xavier and grabbed his hand. "Sir, calm down."Xavier let go, but Monica had already passed out, slumping to the ground. The butler immediately bent down to check on her breathing. Thankfully, she was fine.He turned to instruct the bodyguards. "Take her back to the hospital and tell the Jones family that if they were to spread anything bad about the Robinsons, they'd suffer the consequences."When he turned back to look, Xavier had already stormed inside. When Xavier pushed open the door to Jasmine's room, she was standing by the balcony. From where she was standing, she had a clear view of everything that had happened just now. "What did Monica say to you?" Jasmine didn't turn around, keeping her back to Xavier."She said you used Tara Miller's design to win the competition too." Xavier's tone was so calm, it was terrifying.Jasmine said nothing but clutched her raili
