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
After leaving the room, Yvonne got her men to send Noah to the medical room to get a checkup. She also prepared a speedboat to send him back to shore. By then, someone from Hope would be there to pick him up.After her men left, Yvonne looked at the room pensively. Chills ran down her back. When Katie had touched her abdomen, it was as if she were pregnant with a child. It had been terrifying.From what Katie said, she was going to make sure Noah could never have any more children. Then, she was going to use his only child to return to his side.From then on, her position would be different than it had been in the past.Yvonne finally realized why Katie had wanted to borrow the gown. Noah had mistaken Katie for her!In the midst of excitement, he had been shocked and even received a kick to the crotch. Yvonne guessed that even if she didn't do anything to him, Noah would be traumatized. He would find it difficult to get together with a woman anymore.Yvonne had to admit that
By the time Noah came around at the hospital, it was already night. He had no idea how long he had been unconscious. He thought he was still on the ship."You're up?"Noah got a fright. He turned to look at the source of the voice and became terrified instantly."Y—you … H—how …"Soon, he recalled the incident the night before. He frantically tried to sit up, but an excruciating pain shot through his lower body. He no longer dared to move.Katie reached out, wanting to press Noah down, but he shoved her away."What did you do to me?" Noah barked.Katie paused for a while before gently smiling. "I only gave you the punishment you deserve. After all, I almost died thanks to you.""You …" Noah's eyes reddened. He glared at Katie."Are you a human or a ghost? How could you still be alive?"Katie smiled and asked in retort, "You were too ferocious in bed last night. Are you still unsure whether I'm a human or a ghost?"Noah became infuriated. He clutched Katie's neck and squeezed
The men Yvonne had arranged to follow Katie reported the news of Noah's infertility to her.When she heard the news, she was leaning against the railings on the deck. Stephen was standing next to her.Yvonne looked at Stephen innocently. "I never thought that Katie would be so ruthless. If Noah really has no children in the future, it has nothing to do with me.""Hmm," Stephen responded. He took off his jacket and put it around her. "The sea breeze is quite cold. Do you want to go back?"Yvonne shook her head. "No. If I head back, I'll have to deal with them again. I've drunk quite a lot tonight."After the meeting, many of the guests had gone to the third floor to relax. They had invited Yvonne a couple of times. Out of obligation, she had drunk a few rounds with them.She had finally found an opportunity to leave by coming out to the deck to answer a call. She had sobered up thanks to the fresh air.Stephen stood next to her. "Alright, I'll stay with you."Over 6 feet tall, S
