The black sedan followed Jane's car all the way to a bar. The sky gradually became darker.The people in the car watched Jane enter the bar before calling Calbert. "Boss, Ms. Ford has entered the bar.""Okay. Send me the address. You two can continue keeping an eye on her." Calbert hung up. He looked at Yvonne, who was playing with Doodoo on the couch. "The situation isn't as you predicted. Cory didn't stand up for Jane. She ran out alone. She's at a bar."Calbert frowned. "Could they have gotten into a quarrel?"Yvonne threw the ball in her hand. Doodoo went after the ball. She said distractedly, "It looks like Jane isn't really that important to Cory.""Then, what are you planning to do? Do you still want to meet her?" Calbert asked."Of course. Why not?" Yvonne took the ball from Doodoo. She turned to Calbert and smiled. "We're old friends who haven't seen each other in such a long time. We should greet her properly and see what on earth she's planning to do by sticking to

Jane's mind was a mess. She didn't dare to simply trust a stranger at a time like this.She looked at the glass of wine on the floor before looking at the man by the side. "Give me some lemon-infused water."The man didn't budge. He only moved when he heard the woman instruct, "Give it to her." He got out of the room to get the waiter to bring lemon-infused water over.When the man turned around to return, he seemed to have sensed something. He subconsciously glanced toward the dance floor. When he didn't notice anything odd, he returned to the room. Little did he know that a man was at a corner typing a message. He sent the address of the bar and the number of the room to someone.Then, he kept his phone away and walked over to the entrance.When he was by the entrance, he saw Calbert coming over and entering the bar. He paused, but it was too late for him to hide.He could only lower his hood and pretend to stumble out of the bar. Soon, the man and Calbert passed by each ot

Jane remained fearful the entire way back. When they reached their destination, she was just about to say something to lighten the mood when Cory pulled her over.Before she could react, Cory had already pulled her out of the car. Her feet were in the air once more."Ah!" she yelled in panic. "Cory, I can walk on my own. Please put me down."Cory ignored her and carried her in.In the living room, Benji saw them and immediately went up to them. "Boss, what is going on? Is Ms. Ford injured?"Cory didn't even look at Benji. He directly headed upstairs in fury.Benji stood in the same spot, secretly praying for Jane. He couldn't remember the last time he had Cory so angry.Upstairs, Cory kicked the door open. He took Jane to the bed and threw her on it violently.Jane was alarmed. She was just about to get up when Cory leaned in. He clutched both her wrists with one hand, domineeringly pinning her to the bed.Jane was bewildered. She looked at Cory's darkened gaze. This time, she

After Cory left, Jane entered her bathroom and took a soak in the bathtub. She looked at the ceiling in a daze.She had thought about her future countless times, but she had never pictured that she would be in her current situation.When she had been with Claude, she had been a precious heiress. She had been able to get anything she wanted. She had never imagined that she would end up relying on others one day, her wings clipped.Only a year had passed, but she felt like it had been decades. Her body and heart were aging rapidly.Jane slowly shut her eyes, letting her hatred fester. She had ended up like this because of Yvonne. Everything that had happened to her that day was all thanks to Yvonne.She was living a life of suffering, yet Yvonne had vanished from the face of the earth. No one knew if she was dead or alive.At that thought, Jane gritted her teeth. Even if Yvonne was dead, she was going to dig her bones out of her grave and step on them.She was never going to let Y

As she left the border on a private jet, Yvonne was on a video call on her laptop with Nicole, discussing the details of the jewelry exhibition.Nicole was extremely dedicated to the exhibition. The moment she returned to the country, she came up with a dozen proposals according to Yvonne's ideas. She presented all of them to Yvonne in one shot."Ms. Miller, there is another folder with a list of internationally renowned costume designers and stage designers—""I already have a candidate for the costume designer." Yvonne smiled. "I'll send you her contact information. You can ask her in Miller Jewels' name. I'll meet her in person."Nicole was curious. "Is this some famous person that I haven't heard about before?""No. She's not famous at all. She's just an ordinary person." "Uh…" Nicole was a little doubtful. "Ms. Miller, this is your first jewelry exhibition. Won't it be too risky to use an ordinary person?"Nicole wanted to hold the perfect exhibition for Yvonne. She believ
