Chapter 221 What Else Does He Want

Yvonne arrived at Miller Jewels early the next day. The moment she got out of the elevator, her assistant approached her frantically. "Ms. Miller, Mr. York is waiting for you in your office."Yvonne furrowed her brows. "Why is he here?""He said he's here to sign the contract. I have no idea what happened." The assistant followed behind Yvonne and entered the office. Richard, who was sitting on the couch, immediately sprung up in fear. He did it too quickly, even pulling on his injury. He gasped in pain.Yvonne noticed the bruise on Richard's face. Perhaps he was embarrassed, so he covered it up with his hand.Yvonne guessed that someone must have taught him a lesson, but she couldn't be bothered to ask. She looked at him indifferently. "I thought you didn't want to work together. What are you doing here now?""No, no …" Richard frantically waved his hands. He bent up, picked up the contract on the desk, and passed it to Yvonne with both hands. "I truly want to work with you, Ms.

Chapter 224 The One-Year Contract Is Void

"If Stephen truly wants me to leave, I'll gladly do so without taking a single penny."Yvonne glanced at Ariel before turning back to look at Elizabeth. "I promised him that I wouldn't stop him if he intended to get together with Ms. Clarke again. I won't decide for him before that happens. As for where I'll be going after this, I'm sure you don't have the right to make any decisions for me either, Grandma.""You—" Elizabeth was overcome with rage. "You sure have a way with words, huh?

"It's an agreement that I'll get pregnant with your baby within a year or leave you."Yvonne stared into Stephen's eyes unblinkingly. "Had I not made this promise, Grandma would've kicked me out of the family a long time ago.""How could you make such a promise in the first place? You knew that you wouldn't be able to do it! I wouldn't have allowed you to fulfill the contract either!"Stephen tightened his grip around Yvonne's slender wrist, leaving stark white marks on her skin.However, the latter didn't look like she was in pain, seeing as her eyes were still gazing up at him calmly. "I know that."The sight of the serene expression on her face made Stephen realize that she'd intended to leave him from the start. The time she'd set aside for herself was one year."You want to leave me, huh?"Stephen narrowed his eyes, which were shining dangerously. "I'm going to make it clear to you right now; you can forget about leaving me. You wanted to marry me in the first place, so now
