"Do I need you to meddle in my business?" Noah was angry. "Carmen is the acting president of Anderson Group. You attended her banquet as my fiancée and made a fool of yourself in front of her. Now you're saying you did it to help me out?" Letting out a laugh in exasperation, he grabbed Katie's chin."Because of what happened last night, Carmen has an extremely poor impression of you. She will definitely favor Stephen more at the shareholders' meeting next time.""How can someone as dumb as you have the guts to make trouble at the banquet? I'm seriously wondering if you're someone sent by Stephen to stay by my side!" As soon as he finished speaking, he fiercely shoved Katie's face away. Katie's cheeks stung. She didn't dare turn around to look at Noah. "I ... I wanted Ms. Lynch to know that Yvonne isn't a decent person either. Ms. Lynch didn't even spare me a glance, yet she treated Yvonne so warmly. Why? I'm your fiancée! Yvonne is just someone who was kicked out of the And

All of a sudden, a loud noise came from the kitchen.Yvonne immediately ran over, forgetting the question she had asked Curtis earlier. Curtis breathed a long sigh and followed after her, only to find the kitchen in a complete mess. The pot had been shattered into several pieces.It sure seemed like someone had fought a battle in there.Suppressing her anger, Yvonne asked, "Are you here to ruin my kitchen or cook?""I made a slight error." Stephen crouched down and cleaned up the mess on the floor. No matter how chaotic the situation was, he seemed to be able to handle it skillfully.Yvonne didn't know why her anger dissipated in an instant. What could she expect from a wealthy man who rarely did housework?She turned around and fetched some cleaning tools. "Go ahead with the rest. I'll clean these up." Hearing that, Stephen went along with her and continued to prepare the remaining dishes. When Yvonne was done cleaning up the mess, she looked over at Stephen. He was wa

"Jennifer Johnson." Fearing that she would arouse his suspicion, Yvonne added, "She was my mother's friend. I often heard my mom talking about her. I thought of paying her a visit since I'm here." Raymond nodded. "I see. I was wondering how you would know Jennifer considering your age." "Do you know her?" Yvonne sensed a shimmer of hope. "Yes. Everyone in this town knows her." Raymond let out a heavy sigh. "She was a renowned university student here. No one has managed to surpass her record for college entrance exam scores to this day. Unfortunately ... she went missing.""Missing?" Yvonne pretended to be shocked. "What happened? My mom also couldn't reach her. She thought Jennifer had involved herself in something important." "We're not sure either. She has been missing for over 20 years. Her mentally ill mother has never stopped looking for her. That's why everyone here knows Jennifer's name." He continued regretfully, "Jennifer came from a relatively fine family. Howe

After a day of fun, Elvin quickly fell asleep at night. Yvonne tucked him in, turned off the lights, and quietly left the room.Stephen stood under the moonlight, waiting for her by the fence. Upon hearing the noise, he looked over and asked, "Is he asleep?" "Yes." Yvonne approached him and felt a little worried. "Where are you taking me? Is it far? Will it be safe to leave the two children here on their own?""They won't be alone." Stephen gestured for Yvonne to look down. Yvonne followed his line of sight and noticed that there were people dressed in black around the entrance and inside the house. She frowned. "When did you arrange for them to be there?""The night when we arrived at Guartique Town," he replied calmly. "Well, I didn't know what you were going to do. I figured it would be better to bring some men along." Then, he turned around and added, "Let's go.""Where are we going?"Stephen didn't reply to her. Although Yvonne was confused, she still left the hom

"You're from Miller Jewels?" Karen squeezed out the words through gritted teeth. Yvonne was stunned. She wondered why Karen was being so hostile to her all of a sudden. The next second, Karen stood up abruptly and grabbed Yvonne's arm. She dragged her outside.Seeing that, Stephen caught Karen's shoulder at once and asked in a deep voice, "What's wrong?"Yvonne was also confused. "Weren't we chatting well just now? Why are you suddenly chasing me away?""If I had known that you were from Miller Jewels, I wouldn't even have let you into my house! Get out now! Or else don't blame me for using the broom to drive you out!" Karen reproached her sternly. "Buzz out! You are not welcome here!" Seeing how emotional Karen was, Yvonne could only give in. "Okay. We'll go back, but—""Out!"Karen had no intention of talking to them anymore. Her hand on Yvonne was trembling. She feared that Karen's health might be affected. So she gave Stephen a look, telling him to let Karen go. Step
