Stephen's outright declaration that Yvonne belonged to him infuriated Xavier so much that he laughed. He downed his glass of wine, slammed it back on the table, and stormed off.After he left, Yvonne took Stephen's hands off her and moved to the side. The next second, Stephen wrapped his arms around her once more. "Did I give you permission to leave Oceania Villa?"Yvonne's gaze sharpened. "I'm a human being, not your pet."Stephen furrowed his brows. "You're misinterpreting what I said.""I wouldn't even dare guess what you are thinking about; how would I dare to misinterpret it?" Yvonne looked Stephen in the eyes. Under the influence of alcohol, she said what was on her mind. "Although Xavier is scum, what he said is true. By staying by your side, I might end up losing my life one day. Now that you've got your sight back, when are you planning to divorce me?"Stephen's expression darkened instantly when he heard her mention divorce. He enunciated, "Are you leaving me?""The And

Andy had made a reservation for a French restaurant. The two sat opposite each other, eating and chatting happily.Halfway through, Yvonne's phone rang. Her screen flashed the name "Stephen Anderson," and she rejected the call without even thinking.This piqued Andy's curiosity. "Why aren't you answering?""It's a scam." "I don't think so, right?" Andy squinted his eyes. "I saw a name."Then the phone rang once more. Afraid that Andy would see her screen, Yvonne covered it and got up. "I'll go answer this call." She walked over to a corner and asked grudgingly, "What's going on?""Who's the man you're having dinner with? You two seem happy."Yvonne furrowed her brows. "Did you send someone to stalk me?""Are you trying to turn this on me when you've been caught?" Stephen asked in a low voice. He'd arranged for a bodyguard to follow Yvonne to protect her. However, he hadn't expected to receive photos of her having dinner with another man on the very first day!Moreover, that m

Looking at them as they were about to cross the road, Yvonne frantically lowered the umbrella to block her face.When she walked past them, she could hear flirtatious laughter."Joseph, I'll prepare a great meal for you, alright? You can't just leave after eating.""Don't worry. Who am I going to look for at night, if not you?""You're naughty!"As they walked further away, their voices were gradually drowned out by the sounds of the rain. Yvonne turned around to see them entering the neighborhood. She couldn't help but chuckle! Joseph Jones had done a good job! He'd found Thomas such a young stepmother! If Thomas were to find out about this, it would cause an uproar among the entire Jones family!Then Yvonne went ahead to buy the balsamic vinegar and returned home. Her entire mood had changed after what she'd seen, and she kept snickering mischievously.Rachel couldn't help but get curious. "Vonnie, what is up with you?" "Nothing; I'm just delighted that I can finally settl

Just as she was delightedly scheming, Andy called her."Ms. Miller, can you take me to the jewelry exhibition with you tomorrow?"Yvonne chuckled. "You sure are well informed." The organizers had invited famous jewelry brands in the country to the exhibition. After they'd heard about Miller Jewels' success at their new product launch, naturally, Miller Jewels had been invited too.Miller Jewels valued the opportunity very much. They had gone through dozens of meetings to select the jewelry that would be exhibited, only finalizing it the day before."Ms. Millar, don't worry. I’m just there to take a look. I'm not …""Don't worry about it. Everyone there is already a competitor. I'm not afraid of having one more." Yvonne didn't take it to heart that Andy had come to help Emerald Group enter the market.After all, her brand would survive through their success, not by taking other brands down. This had been her principle ever since she'd founded QT.…On the day of the exhibition,

In the end, Yvonne didn't meet Ariel at the jewelry exhibition.However, her face had been etched into Yvonne's mind. She looked even prettier in person than in the photos. She looked like someone who'd walked out of a painting and had an extremely delicate beauty that would make any man naturally want to protect her. Even a woman like Yvonne had a crush on her for a moment, let alone a man. So, this was the type of woman that Stephen liked.Yvonne was completely different from Ariel. She was the trusty sidekick who protected the princess."What are you thinking about?"Andy's voice pulled her out of her reverie. "Nothing.""You've been weird since you returned from the exhibition," Andy muttered. He'd caught Yvonne staring into space for no reason multiple times that day.Yvonne kicked him. "Are you back to enter the market? Why are you here at Rachel's home every day?"Andy rolled to the other side of the couch. "What's the hurry? I've seen the exhibition, and judging by tha
