Mark was in a dark green suit tonight. His usual air of hostility had faded a little, and he seemed more regal. With the rosary in his hand, he introduced them to each other. "This is Mr. Jensen of Well Spring Pharma. She is Yvonne Miller, the newest Principal of the Group. She handles all of the Group's medical and pharmaceutical businesses."Yvonne was secretly wondering what Mark's intentions were, but she smiled kindly. She reached her hand out to Chuck. "Mr. Jensen, your reputation precedes you. I have always wanted to find a chance to get to know you. Finally, we meet.""Ms. Miller, how kind of you. I have heard about you many times. I'm really delighted to be able to see you today." Then, Chuck lowered his head and kissed Yvonne's hand.Stephen's gaze darkened unpleasantly.Yvonne was caught off guard, too. She was in a daze before she gathered herself. "Have you always been abroad?""I grew up and studied abroad." Chuck smiled."Did I frighten you?"Yvonne retracted he
Yvonne didn't see Stephen anywhere, even when the party came to an end. When she got into the elevator, she stopped at the level where the guests were staying without knowing why. She got out of the elevator and walked to Stephen's room. Outside his door, she raised her hand, thinking of pressing the doorbell.She hesitated. What should she say to Stephen when she saw him? Was she going to try to cheer him up? Or promise that she wasn't interested in other men?Her mind was in a mess. She retracted her hand slowly. Forget about it. They were at such an awkward stage in their relationship. If she appeared right in front of his room, it would only make things even more awkward.At that thought, Yvonne turned and left. The carpeted floor silenced the sound of her high heels, so she left silently.As for Stephen, he never knew that Yvonne had stopped by.At that moment, he was in his room. He thought about how excited Yvonne had looked when she had spoken about Chuck Jensen. H
The meeting was scheduled to be held over three days. That day was just the beginning, so the meeting only lasted two hours.Yvonne saw Stephen getting up. She was just about to head over when a few other people flocked over to him, surrounding him.Just then, Chuck appeared right in front of her. "Ms. Miller, care to have a drink together?" Yvonne looked at Stephen. She thought for a while before looking at Chuck. "Sure." They left the meeting room together.Although Stephen was still talking to the people around him, he noticed Yvonne leaving with Chuck out of the corner of his eye. His gaze turned sullen.Chuck led Yvonne to the bar on the third floor. He ordered two low-alcohol-content cocktails for them both."If you don't mind me asking, what is your relationship with Mr. Anderson?" Chuck smiled and continued, "It's fine if you don't want to answer this question. I absolutely respect a woman's privacy."Yvonne smiled and took a sip of her cocktail. She had never been
Half an hour later, Yvonne returned to her room from the third floor. The moment she got out of the elevator, she saw Stephen standing outside her door. She approached him and asked deliberately, "What? Are you no longer angry with me?""Why did Chuck look for you?" Stephen asked coldly."For a business deal." Yvonne took her keycard out and opened her door.Before she could take off her shoes, Stephen pinned her against the wall. He looked into her eyes. "Are you planning to work with him?""I haven't decided about it yet, but his offer is quite enticing."Yvonne hadn't given Chuck an answer. She had said she wasn't managing Hopeful Faith, so she had to get Conan's opinion on this.However, Chuck hadn't given up that easily. He had offered many conditions that would be advantageous to Yvonne. He had asked her to think about it properly.Yvonne was conflicted about this, so she looked up at Stephen and asked, "Do you think there could be such a good deal?""No," Stephen answe
"Scared?" Noah sneered. "No one is scared of me anymore. I'm just a useless piece of trash. As long as Stephen is alive, I am nothing. "Katie, I'm sure you regret it, right? You should have married Stephen. What's the use of marrying me? You'll get nothing!"Noah had already forced Katie toward the railings. She had nowhere to retreat. She looked at Noah worriedly. "I have never regretted marrying you. Noah, I like you. Not the things you have. Listen to me. Let's go back. As long as you want to get back on your feet, I'll be with you. I believe in you. You can surely get back everything that you've lost."The wind howled in Katie's ears. Her heart sank. She could clearly see a strong murderous intent in Noah's eyes!By the time she thought of running away, it was too late!Noah grabbed her by the neck and pressed her against the railings. Half of Katie's body was outside the railings. She instantly panicked. "Noah, w—what are you doing? I'm still pregnant with your child."
That morning, one of Yvonne's staff reported, "Mr. Noah Anderson is looking for his wife. He said that he had gotten drunk last night and returned to his room to sleep. When he woke up, he could no longer find her."Upon hearing that, Yvonne waved her hand, signaling for the staff to leave the room. Once the door was closed, Yvonne went behind the screen to look at Katie sitting on the bed."Now, do you realize Noah's intentions? He didn't kill you because he was drunk and lost his temper. He had long planned to kill you. Bringing you on this ship was the first step of this plan."Then, Yvonne looked out of the window. "The sea is the best place to hide bodies. He could be rid of all accountability."Katie's face lost all its color. She lowered her head, unable to find her words. Even though she was sitting on a soft bed, she still felt as if she were in the sea. Chills ran down her back. She still couldn't forget how murderous Noah had looked the night before. It was terrifyin
Half an hour later, Yvonne walked out of her room. She signaled an attendant over. "Go and get the gown I wore for the party the other night from the dry cleaners."Stephen had just stepped out of the elevator at this moment. He overheard Yvonne giving out the orders. After the attendant left, Stephen went up to Yvonne and asked, "Is Katie in your room?""How did you know?" Yvonne was stunned. She hadn't told him about her plan."Noah has been looking for Katie. Some people have been talking. They couldn't find her on the ship, so they think she might have fallen into the sea." Stephen sounded calm. "I'm guessing this is an act that Noah is putting on. He must have killed Katie last night. And you seem to be waiting for him to act."Upon hearing that, Yvonne laughed. "Sure enough, nothing gets past you, Mr. Anderson.""Did you find out anything from Katie? Is she willing to be a witness against Noah?" Stephen asked."She doesn't know much." Yvonne sighed."She only knows tha
Late at night, under the starless sky, the sea was pitch black.Noah was drunk. He stumbled back to his room. He opened the door and was just about to turn on the light when someone gently held his hand.He jumped. "Who is it?"That person said nothing. In the darkness, he saw the shimmering black dress. He remembered that dress clearly. Yvonne had worn that shiny black dress at the party. Her figure had looked so charming that he still had constant dreams about her.Under the influence of alcohol, he grabbed the woman by the wrist and pinned her against the wall. He didn't even look at her face before kissing her violently.Surprisingly, she was cooperative. Noah buried his head in her neck and kissed her. "Yvonne, why all the pretense? You still come to me in the end."At the thought of how Yvonne was Stephen's woman, he became rougher.He tore off her dress. She moaned a little. It was extremely exciting in the silent night. Noah could no longer hold back. He picked her up
