At night, Yvonne was laying in bed after her shower when she realized that Stephen hadn't come to her for the last few nights.Was work making him have no desire?Sensing a little disappointment in her, Yvonne furrowed her brows. Although it was normal for an adult to have desire, Yvonne found it weird when she thought about it. On some level, she was dependent on another body, and that was a dangerous sign.She patted her cheeks, forcing the unwanted thoughts out of her mind. Then she tucked herself in and tried to sleep.Half an hour later, she opened her eyes. She couldn't sleep one bit! She looked over at the invitation on her nightstand, where she'd left it when she'd returned home. Katie's welcome-home party. Hehe! Yvonne sneered. They had both returned to Northerna City, but the way they were treated was poles apart.The moment she'd reached home, she'd been sent to the Anderson family to marry a blind guy, whereas Katie was getting a grand welcome home party. Katie us

Thomas was scared half to death when he saw that his father had hit Stephen. He frantically went forward and grabbed Joseph's cane."Dad, enough!"Joseph was also a little baffled. Although he didn't know who the new man was, Joseph could see that he was no ordinary man.Stephen protected Yvonne in his arms. He looked at Thomas coldly. "Mr. Jones, did you invite me to this party just to show me how you bully my wife?""N—no, no." Thomas stood in front of Joseph, lowered his head, and apologized, "Mr. Anderson, please don't get mad. I was careless. I didn't take care of Yvonne properly.""I don't need you to take care of me." Yvonne looked at Thomas with reddened eyes. "Mom had signed the divorce papers before she died. I'm not related to you at all."Divorce papers? The crowd was bewildered. This was a huge piece of gossip! If Tara Miller had indeed signed the divorce papers back then, it made no sense that Thomas had taken over Miller Villa and Miller Jewels!In that case,

Following the party, Thomas didn't come in to work for three days in a row.That day, Yvonne was at the design department, looking at the samples from Bright Gems. No wonder they were a well-established jewelry factory; their work was as great as that of other factories abroad.The entire department was satisfied and confident in the jewelry collection for the new season."If there aren't any problems, get Bright Gems to prepare a batch according to the number of pre-orders. We'll increase the order once we see the reception at the launch of the new product."Miller Jewels had very little capital left in their books, so they had to spend it wisely. Yvonne was unsure of how it would go, which was why she'd asked the marketing department to set up an online pre-order platform as an assurance.Yvonne had just finished her sentence when she heard the staff outside the door greeting, "Hello, Mr. Jones."Yvonne asked the employees to set the samples aside when she saw Thomas storming i

Katie furrowed her brows. Kayla, that useless piece of trash, wanted to get into QT?Monica couldn't wait for Katie's answer and continued, "Kayla is going to marry into the Robinson family in the future. As her family, we should help her as much as we can, right?"Then she looked at Katie eagerly and said, "Katie, I'm sure you don't want Kayla's in-laws to look down on her, right? If you help Kayla out this time, she'll be able to help you in the future. Sisters should help each other out."Hearing that, Katie swallowed down the rejection she'd been about to express."Mom, you're right. I only have Kayla. How could I not help her out?" She paused before saying, "But I remember Kayla didn't study jewelry design, right?""You're right; she doesn't have the educational background, but she's been with your father and I for so many years. I'm sure she would've learned a thing or two during that time." Monica held Katie's hand. "As long as you agree to put in a word for her, I'll let K

After entering Peter's mansion, Katie handed her gifts to the servants, who'd notified her that Peter was working on his perfume in his studio.She gently stepped into the studio, walking over to Peter. "Mr. Peter, are you—""Wait for me to finish." Peter didn't even look up. He waved his hand, asking Katie to step backward.Katie took a few steps back. After sizing up her surroundings, her gaze fell on Peter once more. Peter was one of the oldest staff members in Muguet. His authority was only second to that of the big boss.In the early years, Peter had created a few of Muguet's most famous perfumes. The other executives had been researching marketing, and he was the only one who'd focused on perfumery.Some of the people in the office had privately said that he was an arrogant person and very hard to work with, so no one wanted to make friends with him.Katie finally realized it at that moment. This was her first time meeting Peter after returning to the country. She didn't kn
