After the fight had somewhat subsided, Yvonne gave a signal to Curtis and Lloyd. They understood her immediately and moved forward to stop the fight and move the Princetons away from each other. It was when she saw how terrible Jessica looked that Yvonne realized Roger had gone all out during the fight. Roger didn't come out of the fight unscathed, either; his face looked like it had been scratched by a cat. All in all, the Princetons looked like a bunch of clowns. Despite being in this ridiculous situation, the Princetons didn't forget the money that Yvonne had promised them. Roger wiped off the blood on his face, extended out his hands toward Yvonne, and said, "The money! Give me the money!" "Nicole and I have worked through the sum of money I should pay you all. After subtracting the money she gave you back then, there's still 400 thousand dollars left. That will be the price you have to pay for making a mess at our jewelry exhibition," Yvonne said. She placed the credit car
Jasmine admitted that her award-winning piece had been plagiarized from Tara Miller's work and that she'd returned the design draft, which was now being exhibited at Miller Jewels, to Yvonne. This was a secret she'd kept for many years. Jasmine admitted her mistake to the public and apologized to Yvonne and Tara during the jewelry exhibition. She also promised to return the certificate and prize money she'd won from the competition so that Tara could rightfully claim the prestige she'd worked for. The apology letter was rather long and expressed Jasmine's sincerity in admitting her mistake. Regardless of her actions, Jasmine had done Tara wrong, and the damage she'd caused couldn't be mended by apologizing. Many netizens were well aware of this fact and commented on it."You gained so much by taking advantage of the prize back then. You're painting the incident in a good way, but could you spit out everything you'd taken from Tara?""Tara Miller had it hard. She's still a nob
Yvonne's attitude was cold. "Are you here to apologize on your mother's behalf?""Yes, she isn't in the right state of mind to see you." Xavier nodded. He was just about to say what he'd prepared, but Yvonne didn't give him the opportunity to do so. Without waiting, she coldly said, "Jasmine wronged my mother, so she should apologize to my mother."Xavier was speechless; his heart sank. How could Yvonne be so tactless? Tara Miller had already passed away. Was Yvonne asking Jasmine to die and look for her? "Ms. Miller, I know you're angry, but you won't be doing yourself any favors by making things too difficult." When Xavier met Yvonne's gaze, his eyes were no longer as calm as before. "I've heard about the incident too. Back then, Tara chose to forgive my mother. If not, this matter wouldn't have stayed hidden for so long.""So, if a thief has been forgiven, does that mean that they're no longer a thief?" Yvonne snickered. "My mother might have forgiven Jasmine, but that's beca
Thomas wanted to jump off a building. Rather than live life without purpose and be the butt of everyone's jokes, he should just die.Just when he was engrossed in this thought. A Porsche Cayenne suddenly stopped behind him. Two men in black got out of the car, grabbed him, and threw him into the car. Then the car sped off.Thomas was frightened half to death, trembling while looking at the man next to him. He only took one glance, and he did not dare to let out a single breath.The man had an air of frostiness about him. His angular face looked like the scythe of a grim reaper.Thomas gulped. "W—who are you?""You don't need to know who I am," the man said disdainfully. "I'm just going to ask you one thing—do you want to live?"Thomas looked at the car before looking at the man once more. He could see that the man wasn't any ordinary person, but he didn't know him either. Why was the man trying to help him? He said doubtfully, "Of course I want to live. Are you really going to he
Yvonne had just entered the private room when Peter arrived with the lady.Before Yvonne could react, a ball of red pounced on her, giving her a fright. "Ms. Miller! I've missed you so much!" The lady spoke coquettishly, hugging Yvonne without letting her go.Yvonne was amused. "You're going to be the director soon. Why are you still so childish?"Yvonne had met Amy Lawrence three years ago out of pure chance and had taken her in as a student in perfumery.Amy was different from Yvonne. Her family had always been in the perfume industry, so she'd received a rather systematic and formal education in perfumery ever since she was young.Yvonne, on the contrary, was pure talent. She'd never had any sort of systematic education. When they met, Amy was having some difficulties in perfumery. She'd even started to suspect that she was losing her sense of smell.In the end, it was Peter who introduced Amy to Yvonne and got Amy to learn from her.Amy hadn't let Yvonne down; she was doing
Ariel put Britney to bed before heading to the study.After a long resuscitation, Elizabeth was barely breathing. She didn't have much time. After the doctor left, the entire Anderson family was in the study, not saying a single word.Ariel's entrance broke the silence. Philip looked at her. "Is Britney asleep?""Yes." Ariel nodded and asked concernedly, "How is Grandma?"Philip sighed and shook his head, saying nothing. His meaning was clear. Ariel was instantly saddened. Her nose burned a little. "Why did this happen …"Hazel looked at Stephen and said sarcastically, "Your ex-wife knows medicine, right? Why don't you call her over to try? Perhaps she has the ability to revive someone."Hazel's comment crossed the line. Stephen gave her a furious look. Hazel cowered immediately. She grumbled softly, "Did I say anything wrong? Wasn't she so smug back then?""With Grandma's condition right now, even if Yvonne comes, she can't do anything. Why bother her? Besides, she doesn't ha
"What's wrong with Yvonne?" Noah asked in retort. "Is it just because she's Stephen's ex-wife?""Yes!" Hazel said firmly before adding, "Not only that—I just don't like her. Have you forgotten? She was the one who instigated Simone's incident back then.""That's in the past. You have to look forward. Be in the present." Noah said, his eyes gleaming. "Yvonne owns Miller Jewels, and Miller Jewels isn't the same as before. I've secretly looked into it. Ever since Yvonne returned, Miller Jewels has been making huge decisions. They're definitely going to be the top jewelry brand in the country. I'm sure you don't know about this yet, but Robinson Jewels has sold Jones Jewels to Yvonne. Once they hand over the shares, Miller Jewels will announce the news."Noah's gaze darkened. "How long has it been since Yvonne returned? How many incidents has she stirred up already? Where will you be able to find a powerful woman like her? If I could be with her, she could help my career immensely."Ha
Elvin took Britney away, and she followed him, tugging at the corner of his shirt as she sobbed with snot building up in her nose. Once they'd reached a corner, Elvin freed his shirt from her grip and looked at her seriously. "Who's your stepmother?"Britney shook her head and said sadly, "I don't want a stepmother."Elvin said impatiently, "I'm asking you, who is going to become your stepmother?"Britney sniffled. "It's Aunt Ariel. She said she's going to become my Mommy.""Ariel Clarke?" Elvin thought about the news he'd seen online. He seemed to recall that Ariel Clarke was the woman who'd been by Stephen's side all these years. Seeing Britney nodding, Elvin furrowed his brows even tighter. Was Stephen really going to marry her?"Okay." Elvin was about to turn and leave.Britney quickly grabbed his hand. "Don't go. I'm scared."Elvin stopped in his tracks and turned to look at her. "Are you afraid of your stepmother?""Yes." Britney blinked her teary eyes. She looked pitif
