After the party, Stephen offered to drive Yvonne and Jim back to Miller Villa.

In the car, Jim's gaze toward Stephen changed. He smiled at him and praised him. "Good kid! I'm really happy with what you did today!"

Thanks to Stephen, he had seen Chuck at a complete loss and unable to retort. The anger he had accumulated for a while had dissipated too.

"As long as you're happy."

Stephen looked at Jim through the rearview mirror and said, "It seems like you don't like Chuck either."

Yvonne was about to respond when Jim held her hand. "Yes, he isn't a good person."

Jim narrowed his eyes. He instructed seriously, "When you see him in the future, don't let him off the hook so easily."

Stephen didn't ask any further questions. He nodded. "Okay."

Jim was even more delighted with Stephen now. He went in closer to Yvonne's ear and said softly, "I'll agree to you two being in a relationship. This kid is great."

Yvonne was stumped.

How was Jim so easily bought?
