Once she returned to Northerna City, Yvonne began investigating the records of Jennifer's employment at Miller Jewels. Yet, the HR department found no records of an employee named Jennifer Johnson despite scouring through all the records. It turned out that the HR supervisor reported that Miller Jewels had cleared out a batch of outdated files 20 years ago. Hence, Jennifer's information might have been inadvertently removed as well. Over the course of the past two decades, several batches of employees had worked at Miller Jewels. At this point, it was challenging to find anyone who could remember past employees. With all leads now cut off, Yvonne was frustrated for several days. On Friday morning, Rachel asked her to go to the hospital together. As soon as they met, Rachel noticed Yvonne wasn't in a good mood. "What's wrong? Has work not been going well lately?" Rachel asked. Yvonne shook her head and replied, "No, it's not that. I've been looking into someone, but the le

Meanwhile, Yvonne didn’t pay much attention to the encounter with Katie at the hospital. Since the next day was a weekend, she had wanted to sleep in. However, the ringing of the doorbell early in the morning interrupted her peace. Yvonne opened the door and found Stephen standing with a lunch box in his hand. Britney was beside him too."Why are you here again?" Yvonne asked."I made some pastries this morning. I thought I could share it with you," Stephen replied with a smile.Stephen barged in and headed straight to the kitchen. Britney followed in after him, leaving Yvonne astonished at the door."Dad made bread and turned himself into a cat!" Britney ran up to Yvonne and exclaimed with delight. Her face beamed with innocence and cuteness.Yvonne chuckled as she crouched down and hugged Britney. Her heart melted at the sight of the little girl's adorable expression. "Is that so?"Britney nodded her head vigorously and made a cat gesture with her hands. Yvonne couldn't hel

After their discussion about the charity auction, Yvonne and Carmen finished their meal at the restaurant. As they stepped outside, Carmen asked about Yvonne's grandfather's condition. "How is Mr. Anderson Senior doing?" Yvonne let out a helpless smile. "No news about his condition is probably the best news." Carmen's expression fell when she heard that, but she quickly brightened up. "Don't be so pessimistic. I believe in Hope and, more importantly, in you. He will surely wake up sooner or later." Yvonne agreed with a nod, "I hope so too." Yvonne watched Carmen get into the car and leave. A gust of evening wind blew, making her shiver from the cold.Just then, Yvonne's phone chimed with a message from Stephen. "Why didn't you ask if I had arrived safely?" Yvonne could almost sense the concern in the message. She typed her reply while walking toward the parking lot. "There were no reports of any plane accidents yesterday." Stephen furrowed his brows upon receiving Yv

With that in mind, Katie took a deep breath and confidently gave the speech she had prepared.She was a natural on stage. Her graceful gestures conveyed her affluence.The crowd applauded once more as she finished her speech.Katie's hand was sweaty as she held the microphone, but she felt elated.She raised her eyebrow provocatively at Yvonne in the crowd.Carmen then retrieved the microphone. "Of course, we would like to thank our esteemed guests and Xenia's Auction for providing the items for tonight's auction.""And now, let us invite the director of Xenia's Auction, Ms. Yvonne Miller, to give a speech."The blood drained from Katie's face when she heard this. She gaped at Carmen while wondering if her ears were playing tricks on her.There was no way Yvonne was the director of Xenia's Auction!Noah was also taken aback but managed to maintain his composure as he dragged Katie off the stage.It was Yvonne's turn on stage. It would be awkward for them to linger.Katie's h

Three minutes ago, the capital of Taloria was struck by a magnitude 7.0 earthquake.Yvonne panicked and quickly called Stephen.She was frozen in fear while she listened to the robotic voice message.The sun was shining brightly through the windows. Yet her hands trembled.Stephen had to be fine. Nothing bad could happen to him!She managed to calm herself down after the initial panic.Then, she utilized Emerald Group's network to arrange communications with the smart chip project team in Taloria.She also contacted the earliest possible rescue team to head over to Taloria's capital that night itself.Yvonne left the office in a hurry and missed the HR manager, who had come to deliver a document. Hayden dealt with the HR manager in Yvonne's stead. "Ms. Miller left in a hurry. It seems she has an emergency. If this report isn't too important, how about you come again after she returns?""I see …" The manager nodded. "That's fine. I'll wait for Ms. Miller to return."Prior to
