Hearing the footsteps approaching her the next second, Ariel immediately moved away and hid in the other room.

Then Philip's furious shout came through. "Stephen, go back and reflect on yourself. There's still room for discussion if you regret what you did!"

When silence ensued outside the door, Ariel was at a loss. "What exactly happened that made Stephen willing to give up on Anderson Group?" she mused.

Stephen returned to Oceanic Villa. When he opened the door and saw Britney, who was sitting on the carpet playing house, his expression softened.

Britney looked over and immediately put on a bright smile. "Daddy!"

"Are you bored playing by yourself?" Stephen approached her.

"A little." Britney blinked her eyes. "When will Aunt Ariel be coming over to keep me company?"

"She won't be coming here for the time being." Stephen sat cross-legged and spared a glance at the toys on the floor. "I'll be with you during this time, okay?"

Britney was so happy that she raised both of h

    A week had passed, and it was Elvin's birthday today.Yvonne woke up early and prepared a plate of mac and cheese for him. She took it to his room and knocked on his door, feeling a little nervous for no reason. The last time they had seen each other was when Stephen had barged into their house. In order to teach Elvin a lesson, she'd confined him to his room until today. She was worried that her son wouldn't learn from his mistake and would continue to cause trouble. However, at the same time, she was also afraid that he would hold a grudge against her.After pondering for a few days, Yvonne realized that being a good mother was more difficult than earning money. It was so difficult to understand what a child had on his mind.When the door opened, Yvonne snapped out of her daze and shot a smile at Elvin. "Happy birthday, my dear!"Elvin hummed in response and turned around to walk back into his room. Yvonne immediately followed after him. "I made mac and cheese for you. Do you wan

    Yvonne sneered. "Am I going to get money from the company that I'm concerned about?"Caleb followed suit and said, "Talking about money is going to break relationships.""But I love talking about money." Yvonne shrugged and took a step back. "Money is the easiest thing; it can be calculated clearly."Right then, Yvonne received a call. She took out her phone and gave Caleb a look before turning around and walking toward the yard.Caleb stood in place and watched Yvonne answer the phone from afar, deep in thought. On the other hand, Yvonne also let out a breath of relief. Earlier, she'd sensed some seriousness in Caleb's eyes. She wondered if it was just an illusion. Nevertheless, Caleb had always known his boundaries and wouldn't force her to do anything that she didn't want to do. As her imagination was getting wild, Amy's voice came through from the other end of the line. "What a pity! I want to attend El's birthday party so badly. Why did it have to be on the same day as Mr.

    Yvonne considered it for a moment. No matter what, it was a children's party today. Stephen had brought Britney with him too. He probably wouldn't play any tricks in front of the kids. On the other hand, if she didn't allow him to enter, it would only show that she had a guilty conscience. Moreover, the children might also be affected.After thinking it through, Yvonne finally made up her mind. "Let them in. Watch over Elvin with Lloyd.""Okay."Soon, Curtis led Stephen and Britney into the house.It wasn't until Britney had joined the fun with the other kids that Curtis warned coldly, "Today is all about the children. Please don't cause any trouble, Mr. Anderson." Stephen spared him a glance before he raised his eyes and looked at Yvonne, who was standing in the distance. Yvonne met his gaze, but she looked away and walked into the living room. It was obvious that he wasn't welcome here. Stephen's expression darkened. After a moment of hesitation, he strode over.Yvonne was i

    When all the guests had left, Yvonne took a piece of cake to Elvin's room and put it on his study table. She thought for a while before apologizing to him in a soft voice. "El, I'm sorry that I didn't let you join the birthday party tonight ...""No worries. I don't like to play with them either." Elvin picked up the fork and ate two mouthfuls of the cake. "Mommy, do I have to avoid him from now onward?" he asked all of a sudden."El, he isn't a good man. I'm afraid that he'll hurt you, so—""Okay," Elvin interrupted, letting out a yawn. "Mommy, I'm sleepy."Yvonne was stunned. "Alright. Rest early, then."After stepping out of his room, Yvonne lowered her eyes and stared at the remaining portion of the cake, lost in thought. She didn't know why she had a sense of foreboding; she was starting to regret bringing Elvin back to the country. Right then, Curtis walked over to her in a hurry and handed her a delicately packaged gift. "Have a look at this." His expression was solemn

    Caleb's reply was straightforward. Noah thought that he could hit it off with him, so he was feeling extremely good. However, his mood was ruined the next second when he saw the message pop up on his phone. "Mr. Noah, I want to see you. Can you come over?" Katie wrote. Then she sent her location to him. Noah took a look at it and realized that it was a bar. After he'd received the news that the newly-appointed regional CEO of Rising Sun Group wasn't Katie but Amy, Noah had lost all interest in Katie. He didn't think that there was any need for him to waste his time on a useless woman. Hence, Noah ignored Katie's message. …The next night, Caleb showed up on time. Noah was extremely pumped up. He even offered to pour a glass of wine for Caleb. "I'm happy that you could make it tonight, Mr. Turner.""How can I not come when Mr. Noah is paying for the meal? But aren't you afraid of being criticized for meeting with me during this time?" Caleb smiled. "I wouldn't have looke

    The next day, Katie woke up in the messy bed. When she recalled what had happened last night, she couldn't help but blush. Noah had left, leaving nothing but a pleasant smell in the room. Katie sat up, pulling the blanket with her. Seeing the stain of red on the sheets, she felt both scared and blissful at the same time. Although she'd lost the position of regional CEO, her relationship with Noah had progressed a step further. When they'd been immersed in the amorous moment yesterday, Noah had whispered "darling" in her ear over and over again, saying that he would be responsible for her. Didn't that mean that he was going to marry her? If she were to become Noah's wife, she'd be Mrs. Anderson! That's definitely much better than being a regional CEO!The more she thought about it, the more excited she became. She pulled the blanket over her head and sniffed Noah's scent. …For the next seven days, Katie didn't go to work. Since Amy couldn't reach her, she had no choice but

    It wasn't until a while later that Noah finally continued walking forward. "Mr. Noah, is there someone you know in that private room?" asked his assistant curiously."Yes."If it hadn't been for the waiter who'd taken drinks to that room, Noah wouldn't have caught sight of Yvonne's side profile when the door had opened. It had never occurred to him that he'd run into Yvonne having a meal with Amy when he came out for a social gathering. "Ms. Miller?" Noah repeated in a low voice, his lips curling into a smile. "This is interesting," he thought. If Katie found out about this, she'd probably be furious. …The next day, Amy went to work as usual. Her assistant came to her in a hurry and reported, "Ms. Lawrence, Ms. Jones has come to work."Looking at how nervous her assistant was, she asked, "Isn't that a good thing? What's with your expression?""It's indeed a good thing, but ..." Her assistant scratched her head. "Something seems to be off with her. You'll know it once you

    After the birthday party, Elvin was transferred to SunnyLight Kindergarten, which was around six miles away from his previous school.SunnyLight Kindergarten was naturally not as good, but it was the best kindergarten that Yvonne could find within the designated range. Elvin had gotten used to getting up half an hour earlier for school after doing so for several consecutive days. However, it wasn't the same for Lloyd. He literally went out while yawning every morning. Today, the weather was gloomy. Lloyd had slept in. When he woke up, he didn't even have time for breakfast and immediately took Elvin to school. While he was driving, he yawned so much that even his eyes watered."Curtis must have done this on purpose. Who in the world would go out for missions at this hour?" he muttered in his heart. Upon dropping Elvin off at the kindergarten, he habitually said, "Mr. Elvin, be obedient at school today. If you need anything, you can look for me with your watch. I'll be staying

    As Yvonne left the room, she could tell that Stephen's mood was much better.She looked at him. "Are you thinking of something nice?""No." Stephen looked at Yvonne with a rare twinkle in his eyes."Let me take you to breakfast." Before Yvonne could respond, he took her hand and led her to the elevator.Thinking about how he'd stood outside her room the entire night, Yvonne decided to let him hold her hand.Then, her thoughts drifted to Otto. Somehow, she had a bad feeling.…At the same time, Mark was in the courtyard of Carrington Mansion. He sat next to Agatha and poured some tea for her.He handed her a cup of hot tea. "Great-Grandma, try this."When he noticed that Agatha had no reaction, he called out to her once more. "Great-Grandma?""Huh?" Agatha came to her senses. She looked at Mark in confusion.

    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.

    Jane returned to the private room, distracted.She sat down next to Cory. She looked at him as he reached his hand out to her in confusion.Cory furrowed his brows and asked unhappily, "Where's the wine?""Wine… Yes! Wine!" Jane came to her senses. 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. Now that you know he's gotten married, you're in this shitty mood

    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. "Two guys and a woman came out of a private room in the middle of the night. Anyone would come to the same conclusion. We're all adults. There's no need to pretend to be innocent.""You—" Calbert was about to go up to Jane, but Yvonne stopped him."Since Ms. Ford is here, I'm guessing so is Cory?" Yvonne smiled, yet her smile didn't reach her eyes. "If you cause a scene here and this bar gets raided, guess who'll be the ones walking out here alive?"Jane's expression turned ugly. "Are you threatening me?""It's just a kind reminder." Yvon

    Calbert and Yvonne managed to track Otto's car to a bar, thanks to the information they'd gotten from his staff. Otto's car was right outside the bar.Calbert looked at the neon sign and furrowed his brows. "Why is Otto here? Did what Mrs. Carrington Senior said really hit him so badly that he has to drown himself in alcohol?"Yvonne said nothing and headed directly inside the bar."Wait up for me!" Calbert went after her. He subconsciously protected her from all the drunk patrons.The lighting in the bar was dim. Many of the patrons were drunk and having fun.Yvonne and Calbert walked around the booth area, but Otto was nowhere to be found. They pulled a server over to ask if there was a patron by the name of Otto Carrington who had reserved a private room.Coincidentally, the server had just taken two bottles of wine to Otto's room. So, he led them to the private room.Calbert tipped the server before opening the door and entering. The entire room reeked of alcohol.He looked

    After Agatha left, Otto stood in the same spot without moving.A long time later, Zac entered the office. He looked at Otto's back and asked quietly, "Mr. Carrington, will you still see the client?""No." Otto sounded heartbroken.Zac didn't dare ask further questions. 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. His mind was in a mess."Alexander was the one who planned the kidnapping back then."Agatha's words rang in his mind for a long time.Alexander's young face appeared in Otto's mind, smiling at him affectionately."Otto! Amazing! Yes! Just like that!""You're amazing at badminton! You're going to make the country proud! I'm going to be so proud of you!""Otto, my son!"Memories of his interactions with Alexander flashed across his mind at that moment.Otto couldn't imagine that such a loving father would do such an absurd thing.
