Yvonne's assistant hesitated for a while before saying, "We came in last and got eliminated."Yvonne's gaze darkened. "Impossible!"She'd personally edited Nicole and her team's design. Yvonne knew that in this competition round, from final 10 to final 5, no matter what, they should come in third! How could they come in tenth?"Wait for me right there. I'll come over now!" Yvonne hung up and quickly left the airport, driving to the competition venue.When she reached there, her assistant was waiting for her outside. She quickly went up to her, saying, "Ms. Miller, quickly go have a look. Nicole and the others aren't happy with the result, so they are in an argument with the organizers now!"Yvonne immediately strode into the venue when she heard that, with her assistant at her heels. The moment she entered, she heard Nicole's choked-up voice. "Open your eyes and have a look! How is our design not as good as the top five? You're being unfair! Did you make a deal behind everyone's b

When he heard what Xavier said, Arthur's expression turned ugly. "Are you trying to stand up for her?""I'm only asking you if all the things you've taught me all these years—are any of them true?" Xavier enunciated every word. "You've been in this industry for so long. You always stick to the rules. Why did you interfere with a competition this time?""Even if I didn't interfere with the competition, those brats in Miller Jewels wouldn't win anyway! I'm only helping them face reality sooner."Arthur continued, saying, "You, on the contrary. You should pay attention to your own status. Your marriage with Kayla has been set. The entire Northerna City knows that you two are getting married soon, yet you're here standing up for another woman. You can't even do a simple thing like not getting involved in other people's affairs."Arthur sneered and said domineeringly, "It looks like my decision to kick Yvonne out of the competition was correct. I don't believe you'll be able to behave y

"I think someone called Sarah Thompson?" Caleb hadn't paid much attention to her name, so he was a little doubtful about it.Yvonne immediately realized that it was a senior staff member. She'd joined the competition with Nicole and the rest, so Yvonne still remembered her. Since she was a senior staff member, it was even more important that she wasn't let off the hook for making such a careless mistake. Yvonne told her assistant to have Sarah come over.Soon, Yvonne's assistant arrived with Sarah. Sarah saw Caleb, and her eyes immediately sparkled. "You were looking for me?""I was looking for you," Yvonne said with a slightly darkened expression. "Do you know who he is?""He …" Sarah secretly gulped and said softly, "He said his name was Michael, and he's here looking for a friend." Seeing Caleb sitting there, Sarah slowly realized that the friend he'd mentioned was Yvonne. Yvonne was so furious that she laughed. "You don't even know his real name, yet you already told him th

Xavier returned home to pack. When he entered, he saw his grandfather and the Joneses sitting in the living area out of the corner of his eye.He furrowed his brows and headed upstairs directly without even looking at them properly.Arthur was instantly furious. He rebuked, "Are you blind or deaf? Don't you know how to greet us?" However, Xavier didn't stop in his tracks. "Xavier Robinson! You're getting bold! Are you not even listening to me anymore?" Arthur was angry and humiliated. He was about to go and teach Xavier a lesson in front of the Jones family.Kayla immediately pulled Arthur back. "Grandfather, something must have happened at the office. Xavier must be dealing with it; if not, he wouldn't have come home at this hour.""Stop talking on his behalf. He's always been a slacker. He wouldn't care about work! He is just trying to piss me off!" Arthur glared upstairs angrily before turning to look at the Jones family. "I'm sorry you all had to witness that. I have no idea wh

At Anderson Mansion, Elizabeth hadn't taken her medicine in three days. She didn't feel ill or even the slightest bit of discomfort. On the contrary, she'd gained a good appetite.Thus, Elizabeth was even more determined that what Hazel had told her previously was true—that Yvonne and Old Jim used the medicine to torture her. She could eat and drink well; why would she still need such terrible-tasting medicine?In the end, not only would she suffer, but she'd be grateful to them.One of the maids was about to take Elizabeth's medicine to her room when Philip stopped her outside. "Let me take it to her."Inside her room, Elizabeth heard the door opening and guessed that someone was bringing the medicine for her, considering the time. Her expression instantly darkened. "Didn't I say I wouldn't take it? You—" She turned and saw Philip, and she furrowed her brows. "Why are you here?""How old are you? Why are you still afraid of the bitter taste?" Philip stood by the side of the bed a
