Noah grabbed his cue once again while gazing into Yvonne's eyes. "What are we playing?"Yvonne's expression was a mask of innocence. "I don't really do cue sports. Let's play the eight-ball pool since it's the most basic game. What do you think, hmm?"Eight-ball pool was one of the easier cue games. The rule was to strike the ball and use its trajectory to pocket the other colored balls. In order to win the game, the last ball the player had to pocket was the black ball with the number "8" painted on it. If any of the players accidentally pocketed the black ball at any point during the game, the other player would automatically win.Noah smirked contemptuously upon hearing the suggestion. "Sure thing. If we were to play a relatively complicated round, people might think of me as someone who bullies an amateur in cue sports."Yvonne just smiled. "Precisely. You're quite meticulous, aren't you, Mr. Noah? In that case, why don't you let me go first? I'll have the first strike, i
The victor of the round was clear for all to see.Noah threw his cue away before ordering coldly, "Release him."The scions surrounding Finlay started untying him hurriedly upon receiving the order.Yvonne instructed Nicole to call an ambulance for Finlay. "I'll deal with the aftermath. You should go to the hospital with him once the ambulance arrives. Report to me if anything else happens later on."Nicole nodded in response. She started showering Yvonne with praise after that. "You're really amazing, Ms. Miller!"Yvonne just smiled as she grabbed the files from Nicole's bag. After that, she turned around to face Noah."Now that you've had your fun, it's time for us to talk business."Noah shot her a meaningful look before he started making his way toward the lounge. Yvonne followed him there. Just as she took her seat, she heard Noah's deep voice."To think that you're willing to go to such great lengths just to save a so-called stranger, Ms. Miller. Do you really think I'm t
Leaving the hospital, Yvonne sent Nicole home before driving back to Miller Villa.On the way, Stephen called her. "I heard that you had a game with Noah."Yvonne chuckled. "You sure have eyes on everything. It has only been a few hours, and you've already heard about it.""Have you forgotten who Euphoria Smith belongs to?" Stephen had heard the news from Stanley. Stanley had made Yvonne sound like a goddess. His tone was filled with admiration.Hearing Yvonne being praised, Stephen felt much happier than he did when he heard compliments about himself. He was in an extremely good mood at that moment, maybe even a little smug."Stanley said you won a man from Noah. Yvonne, you sure are capable.""Noah had taken Finlay. If I hadn't rescued him tonight, Noah and his bros would have made him crippled."Yvonne sighed and continued, "I was the one who forced Finlay to tell me the truth and recorded it. "I had promised him I wouldn't give the recording to Noah, but I still used it in
After Yvonne left, Katie sat alone by the entrance of the Miller Jewels until the afternoon before leaving.Nicole came to report to Yvonne, "Ms. Miller, Katie Jones has left.""Hmm," Yvonne responded, and she continued working.Nicole was still a little worried. "Ms. Miller, Katie had been sitting by the entrance for such a long time. Do you think she's trying to come up with a way to exact revenge on you?""Do you think she has what it takes?" Yvonne asked without looking up.Nicole paused for a while. "You're right. She has no family and no company. There is no place for her in Northerna City now."How could a person like her threaten Yvonne?At that thought, Nicole nodded. "I'm worrying too much."…Late at night, it was peak hour in a bar.A figure waded past the crowd on the dance floor toward the dimly lit corridor. She stopped right outside a VIP room.She was in a long red gown, reflecting her murderous, reddened eyes.She was very familiar with the VIP room, havin
Noah kicked her a few times. When he saw no reaction from Katie, he crawled over to her. He reached his hand out and placed it under her nose.She wasn't breathing!Noah was terrified. He stumbled backward once more and looked at Katie in disbelief. "I-impossible! H-how could she be dead?"He frantically got up and shook her by the shoulder. "Wake up! You can't die! You can't do this to me! Katie Jones!"Then, he performed all the first aid he could on her.He was already sweating profusely, but nothing worked.Katie still remained lifeless on the table without any signs of breathing. She was a corpse!After extreme fear, strangely, Noah felt extremely calm.He went to the couch and took a swig of alcohol. He choked on it and coughed a few times.Looking at Katie on the table through his tearful eyes, he suddenly laughed maliciously. He bawled out, laughing so much that his stomach hurt. He slumped onto the couch. "Katie, you want to drag me down together? I won't let you! Y
"Can I help you with anything?" Hearing the joyous tone in Yvonne's voice, Stephen smiled. "Has something good happened to you?"Yvonne chuckled gently. "No. I was just on a call with Rachel. She told me about Noah and Katie. It's quite funny to see them going at each other's throats.""Hmm." Stephen had heard about what happened at the bar too, but he didn't really care much about it.He paused for a while. "Is there any progress on looking for Gwen on Chuck's side?"Yvonne's mood instantly dampened. She sighed depressingly, "Not yet."Chuck had been busy recently, but he was only busy getting publicity. He was either trending on social media or accepting interviews.Yvonne was starting to suspect whether he was serious about what she had said or not. The acquisition had been completed. She intended to look for Chuck once more and push him along on the progress.Stephen seemed to have guessed what she was thinking. He said, "I have the floor plans for Chuck's mansion. Do you
The next morning, Chuck was in his study on the third floor, looking out of the window. He could clearly see a few men standing guard by the corner of his fence.Right at this moment, Yvonne's car slowly arrived, stopping in front of those men.The leader among the men went forward, seeming to be talking to Yvonne.Chuck furrowed his brows a little. Sure enough, they were Yvonne's men.All this while, he had been busy with his engagements, all just so he could find a chance to send Gwen away. But those men had been keeping a tight watch on him. He could never find the chance.A few days later, Yvonne was visiting him once more. He wondered what she was up to.He clutched his coffee cup tightly. His gaze darkened a little.Seeing the car arrive by the gate, he placed his cup down and left his study, heading down to welcome Yvonne.Before Yvonne could press the doorbell, Chuck opened the door.Yvonne retracted her hand and smiled at Chuck. "Mr. Jensen, are you leaving?""You've
Yvonne returned to her car. Lloyd popped his head from the backseat, giving her a scare.She was annoyed. "How do you move so silently? When did you come out from the mansion? I didn't notice!"Lloyd chuckled smugly. "If you noticed me, then I would have failed as a scout."He had been waiting outside the wall. When he had heard the gate open, he had climbed over. Thankfully, the room he had been looking at was on the ground floor. It was near the courtyard, which had given him more than enough time to scout around and even draw a rough sketch while Yvonne had been dealing with Chuck.Lloyd passed the sketch to Yvonne. "Ms. Yvonne, if I remember correctly, there should be a space behind the closet. I think it should be the extra space from the floor plan."Being pressed for time, he hadn't been able to find where the switch was. He also hadn't dared to do it alone, so he had snuck out to discuss it with Yvonne."Say, what could one hide in such a space? He …" Lloyd's eyes wid
