Yvonne frowned. "You're rich, Mr. Anderson Senior. I don't think there's a need for you to come to a free clinic.""I'm not sick. I came here to look for you. Since your free clinic is over, you'll probably have some time to have a chat with me, right?" Philip stretched out his hand in a gesture of invitation. Yvonne stood still. "We can talk here. You aren't going to talk about something inappropriate with me, are you?"Philip was stunned. Clearing his throat softly, he said, "No.""We'll just talk here, then." Yvonne folded her arms across her chest, looking at him calmly. However, when she heard what Philip said the next second, she almost lost her composure. "Stephen wants to remarry you.""How did you know?" She was surprised. "He even told you about it?" Philip furrowed his brows.Sensing that she'd made a slip of the tongue, she put on a sheepish smile. "He mentioned it to me once, but I rejected him."She hadn't thought that Stephen was serious about it, nor h
"El, there has been a strange man outside the fence staring at me recently. I'm so scared!""El, that strange man came again today!""El, that strange man wanted to give me candies, but I didn't accept them. I'm a good girl, right?"There were more than ten messages, and all of them mentioned the strange man. Yvonne frowned. When it came to children's safety, nothing should be taken lightly. "El, let me take a photo of this.""Sure." Elvin watched Yvonne take several photos of his watch with her phone. "Mommy, are you going to tell this to that bad man?""He is Britney's dad." After sending the message over, Yvonne flitted her eyes to Elvin. "You've done a great job this time. You should always tell adults when you encounter something like this, okay?"Elvin nodded. "Will Britney be fine?""Of course." Stroking her son's head gently, Yvonne chuckled. "Britney's family is the most powerful family in the entire Northerna City. How could anything happen to her?"Only then
Yvonne and Simone finally managed to break free from the reporters surrounding the car. Exchanging a smile with her, Simone said, "I've underestimated your popularity."Yvonne chuckled. "I didn't expect this either." Throughout the rest of the event, the cameras were focused on Yvonne. No matter where she went, there would always be cameras following her. Some of the obscure celebrities gradually showed up around Yvonne on purpose, trying to grab some attention. Yvonne was wearing a long gown. Fearing that they would step on it, she subconsciously stretched out her hand to make some space for herself. However, just as Yvonne extended her arm, a female artist cried out in pain as she slumped down on the ground. Yvonne was stunned. "What's happening?" she thought.The female artist, Lisa Lewis, didn't get back on her feet. Looking at Yvonne pitifully, she said, "You could've just told me to move. Why did you have to push me?"Yvonne frowned. "I didn't even touch you."Sim
"Nice job, Ms. Miller." Boaz's voice came from the back. The next second, the cameras immediately focused on them and began taking a flurry of shots. Yvonne's heart sank. It was extremely inappropriate for her to get close to Boaz in such a situation. Hence, she pretended like she hadn't heard him and was about to leave. Seeing that, Boaz reached out to grab her wrist. It was almost at the same time that Yvonne shoved his hand away, so fast that he was slightly taken aback. Boaz felt a little awkward. "Ms. Miller, I'm not a bad guy. I just want to talk with you. Why do you keep avoiding me?"Yvonne distanced herself from him and raised her voice. "Mr. Hayes, if I talk with you at times like this, I'm going to be at risk of being pulled to pieces." Hearing that, everyone understood her message at once. The glances directed toward Yvonne held a certain degree of admiration. It was rare to come across a female celebrity who would decline the opportunity to create a buzz with
Stephen had never liked attending such events. After speaking a few words, he handed the microphone back to the host. Throughout the entire time, his eyes were fixed on Yvonne.Upon walking down the stage, he headed in Yvonne's direction. As Stephen got closer, the artist sitting beside Yvonne inexplicably felt a shiver run down their spine. Hence, they sensibly stood up and relinquished their seat to Stephen. Without any changes in his facial expressions, Stephen sat beside Yvonne. As soon as he took his seat, all the cameras immediately turned toward them. Yvonne frowned deeper. "Stay away from me," she warned in a low voice.However, Stephen pretended like he hadn't heard her and remained seated. Yvonne was at a loss for words. Stephen was doing this because he knew she wouldn't beat him up in front of the cameras.Shooting him a glare, she asked, "Aren't you supposed to be confined to your room? Why are you here?"Stephen was stunned. "How did you know?""I met Mr. And
Before Yvonne could react, all the spotlights were already on them. Stephen quirked his lips and said in a loud voice, "Actually, I came here today to make two important announcements. Firstly, I have already called off my engagement with Ariel."As soon as he said that, the scene erupted into an uproar. Yvonne was also in a state of confusion. What was he doing?Looking into Yvonne's bewildered eyes, Stephen continued seriously, "Secondly, I'm planning to pursue Yvonne again and remarry her." Everyone was shocked. This was so out of the blue!"Stephen, are you crazy?" Yvonne squeezed out the words through her gritted teeth. On the contrary, Stephen felt inexplicably good. When he'd been confined to Anderson Mansion, he'd reaffirmed his resolve every day. Now that he had expressed his thoughts publicly, the weight that had been bothering him finally lifted off his chest.Noticing the joy in his gaze, Yvonne felt nothing but anger. She pushed him away with all her streng
The next morning, Yvonne was awakened by the ringing of the doorbell. Soon, Lloyd's voice came from outside. "Ms. Yvonne, Caleb is here."Yvonne couldn't help but feel a little upset. Caleb had probably seen the topics on the trending list yesterday. She told Lloyd to attend to him first while she got out of bed to freshen up.As Caleb waited for Yvonne, he felt restless. Hence, he remained standing in the living room instead of taking a seat. He had carefully gone through the trending topics last night. The picture of Stephen hugging Yvonne was particularly unpleasant to his eyes. It was the first time that he'd felt so overwrought. He couldn't sleep for the entire night. That was why he showed up at the entrance of Miller Villa as soon as the day broke. He desperately wanted to know Yvonne's thoughts about marrying Stephen again. However, when he saw Yvonne walk down the stairs, he simply couldn't get the question out. It wasn't until she'd approached him that he fina
"Grandpa, I would like to call the engagement off as well." When Philip heard that, he looked at Ariel in disbelief. "W—what are you talking about, Ariel? Are you thinking straight?"Enduring her heartache, she shook her head. "I'm serious. Since Stephen doesn't want to marry me, what's the point of forcing him? Grandpa, forced marriage doesn't bring happiness.""No ... It shouldn't be like this ..." Philip was at a loss. He couldn't figure out what Ariel was thinking. All this time, Ariel's biggest wish had been to get married to Stephen. She had even sacrificed so much for it. How could she simply give up on it now?Ariel's heart stung like hell. But there was nothing else she could do but force a smile. "Isn't loving someone all about wanting them to be happy?"Philip seemed to have thought of something and immediately pulled a long face. "Did he threaten you?""No, I'm the one who wants to give up on this marriage." Ariel glanced at Stephen. Her eyes were filled with uns
