When she heard Stephen’s words, Yvonne smirked. "Throwing shade on yourself to mock me, huh? You’re quite ruthless yourself." "You..." Stephen frowned. "Thomas sold you off to pay his debt. Why aren’t you resentful? You even seem to be happy about it. How dumb can you be?""I heard he owed your family 100 million dollars. I never thought I'd be worth that much myself."Yvonne tiptoed around the mess Stephen had made and smiled at him sweetly. "If I understand what you mean—I’m just a commodity to be sold. Since you wish to return me, you should look for the man who agreed to the deal in the first place. Why are you venting your anger on me?" "You..." Stephen struggled to think of a retort. He could already imagine the smug look on the woman's face. While he was at a loss for words, Yvonne took the opportunity to discuss the matter at hand. "Actually, I'm not Kayla Jones. My name's Yvonne Miller. I'm the daughter Thomas had with his first wife and the heiress of the Miller famil

Returning to Stephen’s room, Yvonne walked straight toward him. There was no hint of pain or sadness on her face. "Thank you for speaking up for me, Stephen," she said.Before Yvonne could react, Stephen placed an iron grip around her neck and pinned her against the wall. Yvonne didn't resist and stared at him with interest. "Have you made up your mind? When can we register our marriage?"Stephen asked sternly, "What do you want?" He was highly guarded and wary of anyone who tried to force their way into his world. Furthermore, Stephen’s gut told him that Yvonne was no simple woman. "If you don't tell me the truth, I can make you disappear from this world without a trace," he threatened.Yvonne knew that she was playing with fire, but she showed no sign of fear. She reached out and touched Stephen’s eyes. "Would you be interested if I told you that I could restore your sight as long as you promised to marry me?"Stephen grabbed Yvonne's hand and asked, "Do you know what happens

"Monica!" Thomas tried to stop her in dismay. "Very well!" Elizabeth laughed mockingly, clapping her hands. "I can finally see why your daughter's such a spoiled brat. Like mother, like daughter."Elizabeth had been doubtful when Yvonne tearfully told her what had actually happened a few days ago. Yet she was fully convinced now. Monica was not only materialistic but also a cruel and despicable woman. "Men, hold this woman down and slap her so that she knows her place!" Elizabeth ordered, and two bodyguards rushed forward. One held Monica down while the other slapped her ruthlessly. Monica’s screams and the sound of the slaps echoed in the living room while Kayla cried and begged them to stop. Yvonne was secretly enjoying the satisfaction. It was a shame that she couldn’t personally lend a hand in beating Monica up. At this moment, a Rolls-Royce entered the courtyard. The license plate seemed very familiar to the bodyguards stationed outside. A man stepped out of the car. Wh

At Anderson Mansion. Elizabeth was still emotional about what happened at Miller Villa. When she met Camille after returning home, she didn’t even greet her and stalked back to her own room instead. Camille followed after Elizabeth, asking curiously, "Mother, did Stephen really go to bring Yvonne back?" Elizabeth nodded in reply and exclaimed indignantly, "I really don't know what's wrong with Stephen. How could he take that ugly monster’s side?""It seems that Stephen's serious about this."Camille hid the disdain in her voice and put on the air of a cultured and virtuous lady. "Mother, I thought about this situation carefully after you left. This isn't necessarily a bad thing."Elizabeth couldn't understand it. "Not a bad thing? Our family’s reputation will be completely ruined! If the public found out that Stephen married an uneducated and ugly wife, it would be the joke of the town!""The reason you arranged a wife for Stephen was because you wanted him to have an heir, ri

"No, it was her daughter, Kayla. It happened a long time ago, so there's no need to discuss it. By the way, what about the medication?" Yvonne didn’t want to talk about the scar, so she changed the subject.Stephen fell silent. "A doctor I trust prescribed it.""What makes you so sure that he wouldn't betray you?" Throughout the years, Yvonne had witnessed too many betrayals, making her despise the word "trust.""He wouldn't." Stephen was very certain. After all, Dr. Austin Parker had been his mother’s best friend before she passed away. For years, Dr. Austin had treated him well—better than his own father, Charles.That was why Stephen allowed Dr. Austin to take care of him after the accident and why he'd never suspected the medication. If it weren’t for Yvonne, he would've never thought that there was something wrong with it."Fine, I won’t argue with you," Yvonne said, spreading her hands. "If there is no problem with the doctor and the medication he prescribed, then it must be
