He used a pseudonym. I don't really know his real name. But …" Lexi furrowed her brows. "He had quite a strong presence."Lexi had met many wealthy people before, but she had never met a man with such a domineering presence as him. He carried himself with a strong, menacing air."Does he have a rosary on him?" Yvonne asked.Lexi thought for a while. "Yes.""Then that's him." Yvonne was secretly relieved. Luckily, she had mentioned it to Lexi beforehand. If not, things could have gone awry."You said his surname is Miller ..." Lexi suddenly thought about Jennifer's son, whom Yvonne had mentioned previously. "Is he the one you told me about?""Yes." Yvonne nodded.Lexi furrowed her brows even tighter. She said gently, "Actually, the other day, there were some other things I haven't told you yet, but you already left. I didn't have the chance to tell you later either. "After Jennifer lost her child, her mental health became unstable. From what I heard, she had been relying on
Yvonne sat opposite Mark and cut to the chase. "You hate me because I'm from the Miller family?""That's right," Mark replied honestly. "That bastard died too early, so I can only settle the score with you. I want all the things the Miller family owes me and my mother. Is there a problem?""You …" Yvonne hesitated. She furrowed her brows and looked at Mark for a while. "What did Jennifer say to you back then?"Mark snickered. "Didn't Lexi tell you? Don't you know how that bastard treated my mother?"Right at this moment, the server served Mark a cup of tea. He accepted the tea and leaned back, looking at Yvonne."He was the one who kicked my mother and me to the border. He wanted us to die on the way there. To him, we were just a smear on his perfect left. We were trash he didn't want to see."Mark sneered. "Too bad, things didn't go as he planned."All these years, he had only survived due to the painful memories from when he was young. Even up until that point, he could
It was a painting with a line of red paint smeared across it. The red paint was coated so thickly that it dripped down the entire painting like blood. It was a scary sight to behold.The original painting was of a happy family. Their smiles seemed outright creepy due to the red pain.Yvonne was indeed frightened by the painting. Chills ran down her back. She knew this was Mark expressing his hatred.All these years, this bloody family was all Mark could see.Yvonne looked away and wrapped the painting again. She said to Lloyd, "Find a place to deal with this. Also, don't tell anyone about it."Lloyd was furious. "Ms. Yvonne, who gave you this? Who could be so evil? Tell me. I'll smash this painting on their heads.""Mark Miller."Lloyd was speechless. He gulped. He picked up the painting. "I'll throw it away."Yvonne looked at Lloyd as he took the painting away. She felt sorry for it. It was Lexi's best work at the exhibition, yet it had been destroyed by Mark.From her intera
Gwen was the one who finally told Yvonne about Mark returning to the headquarters. Yvonne took the opportunity to ask about the meeting the following month."Meeting?" Gwen thought for a while."I'm guessing it’s a gathering for long-time clients of Emerald Group. It takes place on a cruise every year and goes all the way to the Madditerin Sea.""I see." It seemed the meeting was highly classified. Yvonne had never had the chance to experience a meeting such as this before.Gwen could sense what Yvonne was thinking. "I've never been on a cruise in the past. I don't know why but this year, Mark wants to take me along."Upon Yvonne's question, Gwen seemed to have a bad feeling. "Do you think Mark is thinking of using me to keep you in control?"Yvonne was silent for a while. "It's possible."After Yvonne hadn't been able to persuade Gwen to leave with her, she had already guessed that Mark would use Gwen once more. At that moment, she could only give in to it."Gwen, don't think
Yvonne was surprised. She lifted her gaze to see tears welling up in Curtis's eyes. "Yvonne, your memory of them has returned …" Curtis slowly said, "Then they didn't die in vain. All these years, I was constantly in torment. I was afraid that you would recall those brutal memories. But I'm truly relieved to see that you're able to speak to me about this today."I've always wanted to thank you. If it hadn't been for you back then, I wouldn't be alive today. You see, they died for you, but if you think about it, they died for me as well."If they hadn't sacrificed themselves to protect you, I wouldn't have had the chance to receive treatment from you and be saved, would I?"Tears continued to pool in Curtis' eyes. His stern face seemed to have softened under the light. A man with a tender heart was the most captivating. Yvonne was stunned. She wasn't sure how to respond. Curtis' words were similar to what Stephen had once told her. Her parents hadn't sacrificed themselves
Katie was anxiously lying on the bed at the medical imaging unit.In the end, she didn't get the answer she wanted. "Ms. Jones, your condition is even worse than the last time. The gestational sac has shrunk, which means there is a high chance of miscarriage."Katie's heart dropped as she looked at her gynecologist in disbelief. Since Hazel was outside the room, Katie dared not throw a tantrum. She could only cry quietly.A few moments later, Katie wiped her tears away. She calmly instructed, "Just do what I told you to do. Give me a report with normal results, and I'll transfer the money to you soon.""But …" The gynecologist was hesitant. "The condition of your pregnancy isn't something you can hide for long, you—""All you need to worry about now is giving me that report. I will handle the rest." Katie interrupted, standing up.She turned away from the gynecologist and tried to regain her composure. By the time the gynecologist handed her the report, Katie's expression
"I just wanted to ask, what is Katie's actual condition?" Yvonne asked. "Ms. Jones is …" Remembering Katie's instructions, the gynecologist answered hesitantly, "Everything seems normal with her pregnancy.""Is that so?" Yvonne raised her eyebrow slightly."From what I heard, the results provided by the prenatal department last week stated that there was no fetal heartbeat. So did the prenatal department make a mistake or did you …"Yvonne deliberately paused for a moment, her gaze somewhat casual. "Considering how young you look, I'm guessing you're a fairly new doctor. It wouldn't be surprising if you didn't know the consequences of a forged report."Upon hearing the term "forged report," the gynecologist's face became flushed, and her legs went weak.She knew the power Yvonne yielded in the medical field. It would be a piece of cake if Yvonne wanted to wreck anyone's medical career. Given the current circumstances, the gynecologist no longer dared to cover up for Katie.
"Mark invited me to a meeting next month." Stephen was silent for a while before continuing, "In fact, Emerald Group had invited me several times a long time ago. They say it was a meeting for the world's wealthiest people."A private gathering exclusively for influential people. That would undoubtedly involve many favors and under-the-table deals.Stephen had always declined the invitation because he felt it was too troublesome to deal with them.After being turned down twice, the Group had never invited Stephen again. This time, Mark had personally invited him, saying that Yvonne would be attending as a Principal. Stephen had no reason to turn him down.Yvonne furrowed her brows, lost in thought. She couldn't understand what Mark was up to."We'll know once we're there, right?"Hearing Stephen's voice, Yvonne came to her senses. "I'm only afraid we're walking into the lion's den, and we won't be able to come out of it."Stephen found her adorable, looking so serious. "Don't
