When Yvonne finally put Elvin to sleep, it was late at night. She returned to her room and checked the time difference before switching her phone to private mode and calling Gwen. Soon, Gwen's voice came from the other end of the line. "So you finally remembered me?" She sounded a little angry. Yvonne smiled sheepishly. "I think about you every day, Gwen. I didn't call you often because I was afraid of disturbing you."Gwen snorted. "Unless the sky falls, you wouldn't even be bothered to look for me." "What are you talking about?" Sensing the displeasure in her tone, Yvonne immediately guessed that someone had ratted her out. "Did Curtis tell you about what happened at the border?" "Yes. If he hadn't told me, perhaps the next news I'd received would have been about your death."Yvonne choked for a moment. "You're still as sharp-tongued as before." "You were well aware Thomas had been sent there by Mark. Why did you still go and mess with him? Even if the mine makes less m

Years ago, Diane had sought Arthur's help before she had been treated like a madwoman and locked in the basement by Elizabeth. She'd begged him to save her and her child. However, wanting to avoid disgrace befalling the family, Arthur had chosen to send her back to Anderson Mansion. Not long after that, Diane had passed away due to difficult labor. Arthur might claim to have loved Diane deeply, but, in reality, his true priorities lay with his own interests and preserving the reputation of the Robinson family.Stephen had always been reluctant to reveal the painful events of the past to Linda. However, at this point, if he didn't explain the situation to her, his younger sister was probably going to end up as Arthur's pawn. After hearing what Stephen said, Linda sat on the couch in a daze for a long time.As Stephen gazed at her, his tone softened. "Now that he's getting older, he wants to have grandchildren around him. That's why he tried to get close to you, but his ultimate

"Linda, no matter what, Mr. Benjamin is still Finspatial's client. It's better for you to clear your misunderstandings with him."Eugene stepped forward and tugged at her arm. "If you can secure this client, it will only bring you benefits," he added in a low voice. Linda frowned and reluctantly followed Eugene to the table. Interpersonal relationships mattered a lot in the financial industry. Offending a client today might not be a big deal, but it wouldn't be the same if she offended her superior. Given that Eugene had managed to climb up to this position, it showed how complex his connections in the circle were. It would be as easy as ABC for him to kick her out of the financial industry.When Benjamin saw Linda take a seat, he happily beckoned the waiter to serve them the most expensive red wine. Throughout the entire time, his eyes were fixed on her. Linda felt uneasy under his stare, so she excused herself to the restroom. Suzy drank quite a lot with them. Seeing Lind

"Hello, you must be El!" When Linda had been abroad, she'd often visited the orphanage. She prided herself on being an approachable person. She bent down in front of Elvin and smiled. "I heard that you're very intelligent."Elvin said nothing. His guard was still completely up. Linda didn't mind. After all, Elvin was Stephen's son, so it was only normal that he had a strange character.She reached her hand out to Elvin. "I'm Linda Mitchell. You can call me Linda."Elvin glanced at her hand, but he had no intention of taking his hand out of his pocket.Linda smiled rather awkwardly and looked at Yvonne. "Yvonne, your son has quite the personality."Yvonne cleared her throat. "Elvin, be polite." No matter what, she couldn't let her son be rude.Elvin reluctantly greeted her back, saying, "Hello, Linda.""That's more like it!" Linda replied happily. She patted Elvin on the head. "You're a good kid. I brought you a present. See if you like it or not.""Thank you," Elvin replied

It was a rare occasion for Linda to meet Stephen's friends, so she invited James to dine with them.In front of a beautiful lady, James completely ignored Stephen's death glare. He raised a hand in the air to get the server to add another set of cutlery.James had been a philanderer for many years. One of his main skills was making girls laugh. Linda and he happily chatted away, leaving only Stephen sitting there with a gloomy expression.Linda laughed so much that her face was sore. She looked at Stephen and said, "I never thought your friend would be so interesting."Linda thought that a person as strange as Stephen probably wouldn't have any friends at all."I'm the most interesting one among Stephen's friends." James raised his glass and said with a smile, "But it's only because we click! Come, let's drink to this new friendship!""Of course!" Linda clinked glasses with James. "I hope we stay friends."James replied happily, "Of course!"After dinner, they left the restaura
