Chapter 231 I Hope That You Won’t Be Lonely Tonight

"It's Caleb, Rachel's older brother! Holy shit! Why's he here as well?" Yvonne thought.It was a strange coincidence for her to bump into two clients on the same day. The elderly madam of the manor was one of her patients, while Caleb was the other.Two years ago, he'd been diagnosed with a brain tumor and had fallen into a coma after going through surgery. Yvonne had been the one who'd dragged Caleb out of the abyss.After the treatment, she'd heard Rachel mention that her older brother was recovering well, but she'd never have expected to see him here.Yvonne had been a member of Emerald Group for so many years, but this was the first time she truly felt like her identity was on the brink of being exposed.She squeezed out the most natural smile she could muster. "Hello. Who are you?"The combination of the scar etched onto her delicate face and her ugly smile should be able to scare away most of the men who tried to flirt with her. However, Caleb was still a gentleman, so his

Chapter 232 Who's Her Family Member

"Simone is a celebrity who works with Johnson Talent Agency. She occasionally attends banquets with Noah," Julian replied casually.He couldn't help but chuckle when he noticed the look of surprise on Yvonne's face. "What's there to be shocked about? If anyone from the entertainment industry wants to attend banquets of this importance, they'll need to come up with various ways to get their hands on an invitation. This is a perfect chance for them to make connections with the upper echelon of society, after all. Besides, they get to earn quick bucks on the side, so attending such banquets will only bring them benefits."Julian then turned to look at Simone. "Women like Simone who only have the looks yet lack an influential background are especially desperate to get in. If they hadn't found themselves a sugar daddy, they would've gotten kicked out of the industry a long time ago."Everyone knew very well what Noah and Simone's relationship was like, but they never uttered a word about

Chapter 233 I Prefer Compliant Women

Soon, a housekeeper led Mrs. McKinnon, who was sitting in a wheelchair, toward the pavilion.Professor McKinnon got to his feet immediately, a worried look on his face. He quickly took over the duty of pushing the wheelchair and even bent down to cover Mrs. McKinnon's lap with the blanket properly.After that, he berated her softly, "Why did you come here? Didn't I tell you to rest in bed?""How can I just stay in bed when there are guests for me to greet?" Mrs. McKinnon was still very weak, seeing as she'd just started to recover from her illness. She didn't have enough energy to speak loudly, hence her breathy tone.However, her cheeks were a healthy shade of pink. She looked much better, to say the least.Upon making that observation, Yvonne couldn't help but feel weird. Still, she didn't dare ask any questions in fear that she might expose her identity.After Professor McKinnon pushed Mrs. McKinnon's wheelchair to the spot next to his seat, he poured her a glass of warm water

Chapter 234 Let Me Apologize

That night, Professor McKinnon held a dinner party for his guests. Everyone had fun eating, drinking, and conversing with each other.Professor McKinnon engaged with random guests throughout the dinner. His wrinkled face looked exceptionally relaxed. One could see the flames of passion burning in his eyes the whole time, which was something that could only normally be seen in young people.The professor enjoyed conversing with the young people, especially the talented upstarts who were the cream of the crop in the technological industry.He'd ended up having a few glasses of vodka without realizing how much he'd drunk, resulting in him looking quite hyperactive.Meanwhile, everyone else also drank more out of respect for the old man.Noah passed a glass of vodka to Simone while telling Professor McKinnon with a smile, "Simone is really good at drinking. She'd like to toast to you, professor."However, Simon looked quite conflicted. "I—"Her partner shot her a look. "It's a rare

Chapter 235 Repay Your Benevolence With Malice

Just as Yvonne was trying to come up with an excuse to slip out of the room, she suddenly heard his steady and regulated breathing coming from on top of her head.She tried to stifle her giggles as she dragged Stephen to the bed. Once she was done tucking him in, she finally turned around and left the room.She quickly flagged down one of the panicking housekeepers who happened to briskly walk past her just then. "What happened?""S—something happened to Mrs. McKinnon! She started vomiting blood all of a sudden! Master McKinnon fainted as well!"Upon hearing the housekeeper's report, Yvonne's eyes hardened immediately. She headed toward the elderly couple's room, not giving a damn about exposing her identity at all.Caleb was the only one in the room. He was taking care of Professor McKinnon at that time. Naturally, he looked a little surprised when he saw Yvonne enter the room. "Why are you—"Mrs. McKinnon's life was more important than anything else right now. Yvonne looked ext

Chapter 236 I’ll Cut Off Your Tongue

"When I woke up, I asked Rachel who saved my life. All she told me was that Ms. Y from Emerald Group saved me. You're Rachel's friend, so you should know very well that she's the type who can't keep a secret to save her life. She wears her heart on her sleeve and tends to look weirded out whenever something happens. That's why I had a hunch that she was acquainted with Ms. Y. No—she's good friends with her. It seems that you fit the shoe, Ms. Miller."Caleb analyzed the whole thing. Meanwhile, Yvonne listened to him quietly."So, should I call you Ms. Y or Ms. Miller?"The moment his words fell, a flash of cold light streaked across the atmosphere before the man felt a cold blade pressed into the nape of his neck. It was positioned right against his jugular.Caleb couldn't help but shiver slightly. If Yvonne hadn't controlled her force, she would've drawn blood by now.She raised her head slightly, revealing a cold and murderous glint in her eyes."You might be Rachel's older bro

Chapter 237 That Heartless Bastard

Meanwhile, Noah looked like he was about to have an emotional breakdown as he waited in the hospital lobby with a tense expression on his face.He wanted to smoke badly, but he quickly remembered that he couldn't do that in the hospital. He started to become more and more agitated after forcibly suppressing his urge.Stephen just leaned against the wall while gazing impassively at Noah's agitated silhouette. It was clear that the latter had shot himself in the foot this time. In a way, his actions had forced him to leave the playing field before the actual game started.However, the idea of winning without a fight bored Stephen out of his mind.Soon, Yvonne walked out of the elevator and stopped next to him. "We can go back now.""What did Professor McKinnon say to you?" Stephen asked in concern.She knew what he actually wanted to ask. She shot him a bashful smile before replying calmly, "I turned down Professor McKinnon's offer. These are two separate matters, after all. The pr

Chapter 238 You Figured It Out, Didn’t You?

Stephen successfully landed the collaboration opportunity once the convention was over.As he signed the contract with Professor McKinnon, camera flashes surrounded them. After that, the men shook hands with each other to seal the deal.The professor might look exhausted, but he was still delighted to be able to work with Stephen.Once the reporters left them, Professor McKinnon led Stephen to the side so that they could have a private conversation. "I'd like to make one thing clear to you; you'd still have been my first choice even if Ms. Miller hadn't helped me."Everyone had already witnessed Stephen's capabilities with their own eyes.However, Professor McKinnon valued personal integrity more than one's capabilities. He was in love with Mrs. McKinnon for many years, so it was easy for him to recognize the look one had when they were truly in love with their partner.When he'd observed Stephen with Noah, the old man had clearly been able to discern that the former was genuinel

Chapter 239 He Never Loved Her

The washroom wasn't an optimal place for private conversations. Simone led Yvonne to a secluded balcony. Both women leaned against the banister while enjoying the light breeze.Yvonne handed Simone a bottle of water. Then she asked, "When did you find out about your pregnancy?""Last week." Simone took a sip of water while recalling the moment she'd confirmed her pregnancy. While she'd been alarmed, there had also been a trace of joy that she hadn't noticed back then.She'd dreamt of having a baby with the man she loved, after all.Simone had envisioned countless ways to break the news to Noah in her mind. At the same time, she'd also considered ways to ensure that she could give birth to her baby.However, the interactions with Noah that had transpired over the past few days made her snap out of her fantasies. Noah would never allow her to bring the baby into this world. He'd never loved her from the start."I'm really unlucky, aren't I?" A bitter smile appeared on Simone's fa

Chapter 240 Our Relationship Is Legal

"He told me that I should cherish you. He even said that he wouldn't hesitate to teach me a lesson if I were to harm a hair on your head. How did you and Caleb get to know each other, hmm? He sounded like he was very close to you."Stephen softened his tone on purpose when he reached the final sentence. The danger in his tone was evident.Yvonne felt chills run up her spine. She swallowed nervously before squeezing out a smile at Stephen. "Maybe you don't know this, but Caleb is Rachel's older brother."Stephen looked slightly surprised. Indeed, he hadn't known about that.Caleb had founded Turner Tech by making it through difficulties with pure passion and perseverance as soon as he'd graduated from his university. After that, he'd made a name for the company in Northerna City thanks to his outstanding capabilities.Some time after that, Anderson Group had issued its tender document for a business contract as they wanted to start expanding in the technological field. Caleb had wo
