Stephen opened the door and ruined the lively atmosphere in the room.Caleb had just made a wish and smeared some cream on Elvin's nose.Elvin's smile vanished the instant he noticed Stephen. Stephen's expression turned uglier when he saw Elvin's reaction. How dare Yvonne bring his son to celebrate another man's birthday?Xavier was the first to react. "It's a lively celebration! Even Stephen is here!"Stephen said nothing. He walked over to Yvonne and pulled her over.He had just finished dealing with Aston, so he was still brimming with anger.Yvonne could sense a whiff of danger coming from him. She furrowed her brows and tried to pry her hands out of his grasp. "Let go of me!"Stephen suppressed his anger and smiled ambiguously. "Why didn't any of you tell me you were celebrating Mr. Turner's birthday? Am I not your friend?"Yvonne's gaze darkened. "Stephen, don't cause a scene.""You evil man! Let go of Mommy!" Elvin threw cake on Stephen's face. "Let Mommy go!" Steph
Aston was unconscious. Isabel only knew that he had gone to see some friends at Euphoria Smith.In the end, Isabel's father, Conrad Solace, headed over to Euphoria Smith to ask for an explanation.Stanley welcomed the huffing Conrad. "Mr. Solace, you're already so old. Why do you still have such a huge temper?""Stop smiling at me! My son-in-law came here yesterday, and he ended up being beaten up and sent to my door! They even called him a lapdog!" Conrad slammed the table. "This is Northerna City. No one would dare to bully the Solace family. You better have an explanation for me!"Stanley sighed. "Mr. Solace, why are you treating your son-in-law like he is the best thing in the world?"Conrad was baffled. "What do you mean by that?""From what I know, he isn't some scholar with a master's degree from abroad. He is at most a conman who has returned from abroad. You're a smart person. All you need to do is go investigate, and you'll see whether I am lying or not."Stanley con
A frown instantly took over Yvonne's features. "Nonsense.""Yes, I thought you were framed too. From what I know of you, it's hard to imagine that you're the type of person who would secretly promote this." Boaz shrugged. "But netizens wouldn't know that. If it weren't for the program department's influence and spending money to quell this, I wonder what the public opinion would be like."Yvonne looked at him. Why did it sound like he was reveling in her misery?Boaz smiled. "I'm only analyzing it for you. Think about it. If it wasn't you, that means someone was trying to point the arrow at you. Who could it be?"Yvonne understood what he was saying. "Are you saying that I have offended someone from the program department even before shooting?"Boaz snapped his finger. "Smart woman."At this moment, a staff member asked them to head to their respective dressing rooms to change and get ready.In her dressing room, Yvonne let the stylist do her job. She was still mulling ove
"Nothing." Yvonne turned to look at Boaz. "You said a meal, right? Call your manager to join us. The more, the merrier."Boaz was perplexed. Yvonne had just told him that she liked to eat alone. So why was she telling him to bring more people?Yvonne shoved Boaz. "Go, quickly. If not, I won't join you."Boaz left in a daze. Standing in the same spot, Yvonne looked at a tree in the distance from the corner of her eyes. A small flash went off from time to time.Sure enough, she wasn't hallucinating. It was the flash of a camera. Yvonne smiled. She wasn't even a celebrity yet. How were the paparazzi already onto her?This was most likely Ariel's doing. Why shouldn't she go with the flow?…Yvonne randomly picked a restaurant. The moment they entered, the staff recognized Boaz and immediately gave them a private room.Yvonne was the only lady, so naturally, the responsibility of ordering food fell on her.However, when the dishes were served, Yvonne questioned herself. Many of
The next day at Oceania Villa, Julian informed Stephen that Yvonne would be busy shooting with a celebrity for the next two days.When Stephen heard about it, he smashed his phone on the table.How dare Yvonne? After making him angry the other day, she could still pretend that nothing had happened! Wasn't she even a little bit worried that he was still angry at her?Stephen had been waiting for her to message him all this time. Even if it was just one line, he wouldn't mind.Yet the only news he'd gotten about her was that she had dined with Boaz Hayes! Right at this moment, Alfie knocked on the door. He said, "Sir, Mr. Anderson Senior is here. He is waiting for you in the living room."Stephen furrowed his brows. Why was his grandfather looking for him?In the living room, Philip couldn't remain seated at all. He stood in the middle of the space with his walking cane. Seeing Stephen come down the stairs, Philip's expression darkened. He questioned Stephen sternly, "What the
Yvonne made her way through the crowd and found a young lady passed out on the ground. It was the same person who'd persuaded her not to back out of shooting at the meeting the other day!Yvonne immediately bent down. Asking the crowd to make some space, Yvonne started to examine the young lady.Someone said, "Ms. Miller is a doctor! Everyone, listen to her!"Hearing that, everyone obediently opened up space for her.Yvonne didn't have her needles with her. She had no choice but to borrow a few sterile embroidery needles from her stylist. Then, she placed the needles in a few acupuncture points on the young lady.In less than five minutes, the young lady opened her eyes slowly and looked at everyone in a daze. Everyone was stunned momentarily before they finally broke into applause. "Ms. Miller is amazing!"Yvonne helped the young lady up and softly asked her, "Is your period causing you a lot of pain? Why are you still at work?"The young lady was surprised. "How did you kn
"Look at you two." Yvonne smiled. "I only said that I remembered something. Why are you two so touchy about it?"By now, all the crew had started talking among themselves in hushed tones. "She did enter our meeting room the other day.""I forgot about this."Hearing the discussions, Ariel and Jodie's expressions changed.Ariel said with force, "Since you implied it, one can't help but think it's targeted. Besides, who wouldn't be anxious about bearing such a huge responsibility?"Yvonne looked at Ariel for a while before smiling. "You're right."Ariel's palms were already wet with sweat by then. She found an excuse and pulled Jodie along. After they left, Boaz came over to Yvonne and asked, "Have you found your answer?""Yes."Once Ariel and Jodie entered the dressing room, Jodie asked anxiously, "Ariel, does Yvonne know something?""Don't worry." Ariel was extremely calm. "At most, she's just speculating. She doesn't have any proof at all. What could she do to us? She w
Yvonne was still trending online the next day. She didn't have the time to deal with it as she headed over to Rising Sun Group early in the morning.Once they met, Amy's eyes reddened. "Ms. Miller, I'm really useless. I've only been here for half a year, and this happened."Yvonne stopped Amy from coming over for a hug. "You can seek comfort later. First, bring me a list of the stock and a sample of the counterfeits."Amy pointed at her office. "When you said you were coming over, I'd already ordered my staff to prepare everything in detail. They even made some tea for you."Yvonne smiled. "Are you the director, or am I the director?""Of course I am. But I'm in trouble now, aren't I?" Amy led Yvonne over to her seat. "Ms. Miller, I'm very relieved that you're here."Then, Amy pulled a chair next to Yvonne. Together, they shared the burden of going through all the data.Since the data was rather boring, Amy started to get distracted halfway through. She asked Yvonne curiously,
