Three days later, Yvonne and Edith packed up and prepared to head back to Northerna City together.Otto dropped them off at the airport. As they were about to part ways, Otto suddenly remembered something. He said, "Calbert said he's going into hiding for a while. He wants to secretly look into Mark, so he couldn't see you off today."Yvonne smiled. "It's fine. He did the right thing.""Otto." Edith looked at Otto worriedly. "Will you be alright alone?"Otto hummed in response and smiled gently. "Go with Ms. Miller. I'll come and see you two during the jewelry exhibition. I must attend it. After all, your designs will be on stage for the very first time." Edith felt a little embarrassed. "I'll have to work hard. I don't want to let you down.""You won't. I believe in you."Otto looked at Yvonne and said with a smile, "Sorry to bother you with taking care of my mother again.""It's no big deal."Yvonne heard an announcement at the airport and pulled Edith along. "It's time t

When Edith returned after making the call, Nicole had already left. "Where's Ms. Princeton?""She went back to the office. She has many things to deal with." Yvonne noticed the smile on Edith's face. "Has Ms. Doyle agreed to it?""Hmm. I told her I was collaborating with Miller Jewels, and she was really happy for me. When she heard about our request, she happily agreed to it."Edith smiled even wider as she thought back on her conversation with Lexi. Although she was venturing on a path in life that she had never explored before, thanks to the support of good friends, she had grown less afraid and more confident about it."Ms. Miller, I really want to thank you for this opportunity—""Stop right there," Yvonne interrupted. "If you're always going to be so polite with me, I'll have to thank you for every meal you make for me.""No need." Edith waved her hands. "It'll be so tiring to live together like that!""Oh, so you know it's tiring."Seeing the smile on Yvonne's face, Ed

"I…" Yvonne was a little unsure. Naturally, she didn't dare state it directly.After hesitating for a while, she looked at Stephen. "Have you been well the past half a year?""What do you think?" Stephen asked in retort. His tone was calm and void of emotion.They were in a spacious, open-air restaurant, but Yvonne still felt a little suffocated. Even the night breeze had stilled.She took a deep breath. "I know it was terrible of me to leave without saying goodbye back then, but—""It's good that you know it's terrible." Stephen looked at Yvonne. "That's in the past. I don't need you to explain yourself anymore."Yvonne was silent. She had never expected that Stephen would be so calm. She would much rather he yell at her and let it all out. Perhaps then she would feel better."Aren't you curious how I lived for the past six months?" Yvonne blurted without realizing it. She looked into Stephen's eyes with a hint of eagerness.It was a pity. At that moment, all Stephen wanted to

15 minutes later, Stephen and Yvonne left City Hall.As the sun shone on her, Yvonne finally snapped back to reality. The marriage certificate in her hand confirmed that everything that had just happened wasn't a dream.She had indeed gotten remarried to Stephen."You don't have to overthink this," Stephen said coldly. "Remarrying you is just a means to protect my interests. Compared to dividends, managing the assets together as husband and wife is much more cost-effective for me."Yvonne was at a loss for words. What a heartless speech from a heartless capitalist!She looked at Stephen and lazily replied, "Don't worry. I'm not overthinking. I got remarried to you today because I wanted to get things sorted out with you. "Mr. Carrington is still waiting for me to help him. I don't want to waste too much time on you."Then, she waved the marriage certificate in her hand. "I've already done what you asked. I hope you will keep your end of the promise."Stephen merely snickered

Yvonne nodded. "We went to City Hall yesterday.""No…" Edith was completely astonished. She looked at Yvonne for a long time before recollecting her thoughts."W-Why did you marry him again so suddenly? I've never heard you mention it before." Edith held Yvonne's hands and asked concernedly, "Did Stephen bully you? Did he force you to get married? You should tell me. I will go to the ends of the earth to help you."Yvonne smiled gently. "I wanted to get remarried to him. I've got my own ideas.""But…" Edith was so flustered, she was about to cry. She hadn't even started properly helping Otto, yet Yvonne had already remarried Stephen! She finally understood what people meant when they said that life could throw curveballs at them."Alright then." Edith dejectedly lowered her head. She sighed heavily in resignation. "Perhaps you and Otto are just not meant to be. You two had spent so much time together, yet nothing happened."Edith shook her head. "Otto isn't lucky enough."Yv
