He quickly walked to Stephen without looking at Yvonne. "Sir, do you know what Ms. Miller looks like?"Julian didn't think Yvonne was ugly, but she looked rather scary. Yet Stephen seemed calm. "I know. There's an X-shaped scar on her left cheek.""Y-You knew?" Julian asked in shock. "Still, you—""I married her, didn't I?"Julian was speechless. Had Mr. Anderson also lost his mind in addition to his sight? He turned to Yvonne and asked, "What dirty tricks did you use to force Mr. Anderson into this?""Julian," Stephen said sharply. "It's been a while since you started working for me. Has that made you forget your place?""I—" Having spent years working for Stephen, Julian was familiar with his temper. Stephen detested hearing other people's opinions, especially regarding decisions he'd already made. However, Julian thought this situation was too ridiculous. Why did Mr. Anderson choose to marry a troll in the first place? Even so, he was aware that an assistant like him had no pl

The air was thick with tension when Yvonne returned to Anderson Mansion.She looked around and saw Elizabeth sitting on the couch with a stern expression. A middle-aged man sat beside her, exuding power. Stephen was casually sitting on an armchair; his undignified manner looked out of place given the current atmosphere in the mansion.Yvonne was confused; she had no idea what was happening. She greeted them with a smile and asked, "Why is everyone in the living room?"Elizabeth banged the floor with her walking stick. "How dare you seduce Stephen and force him into marrying you?"Yvonne was stunned by the accusation. She couldn't understand why Elizabeth said she'd "seduced" Stephen.She looked inquiringly at Stephen, wanting to ask him what he'd said to Elizabeth. However, she quickly remembered that he was blind. Sighing, she decided to take the blame anyway. She looked at Elizabeth and said in a pitiful voice, "Grandma, if this is about the marriage certificate, Stephen's the o

Stephen sneered. "We're a legally married couple. We have to handle our finances and debts together. I'm just worried that you'll drag me down with you.""Oh?" Yvonne raised her eyebrows. "Don't worry. I'll handle my business on my own." She took a step back. "I must take Miller Jewels back, even if it's a mess."After all, she'd returned to Northerna City to take back Miller Jewels. In addition, she didn't want her mother's designs to remain hidden from the public anymore; with their help, she would show the world Miller Jewels' true value.Stephen was surprised to find that Yvonne had such ambition; he'd just thought she was acting recklessly. "Brace yourself," Stephen said with a deep voice as he walked past her. "I won't help you even if you beg me later." He would be an absolute idiot to help such a fool."Also, we won't have children. You better give up on that soon." With that, Stephen went out of the room, leaving Yvonne staring at his retreating figure speechlessly.Who w

"Are you crazy?"Stunned by his question, Yvonne shoved Stephen's chest. "Don't be so full of yourself. I'm not interested in bearing your child."Stephen ignored her and warned through gritted teeth, "If you think you can do whatever you want just because you can help me recover my eyesight, you're terribly mistaken, Yvonne. I agreed to marry you and make you Mrs. Anderson, but don't expect anything else. And don't blame me for being ruthless if you plan to get pregnant just to get on my grandmother's good side." A thought suddenly occurred to Yvonne, and without thinking, she blurted out, "What if I get pregnant accidentally?""Get an abortion." His instant reply dismayed her, and she rolled her eyes. "I guess you are sick in the head."Then again, what did this have to do with her? She leaned back with a small smile. "Don't worry, I have no intention of causing trouble for myself."Stephen jeered at her casual tone. "Grandma made it clear that you'll have everything if you give he

Within a week, news about the Millers' true heir taking over Miller Jewels spread like wildfire in the company and became the hottest workplace gossip."Didn't Ms. Miller go abroad for her studies? Considering her age, she hasn't graduated yet, right? Why is she in such a hurry to fight for the inheritance?""Haven't you heard that Ms. Miller is actually an ingrate?""Seeing how Miller Jewels is on the brink of collapse, I think she's a moron rather than an ingrate!"Just then, the subject of all the gossip, Yvonne, stepped out of a taxi in front of the company. She was wearing a mask and dressed in a plain tee and long pants, her fierceness on full display.As Yvonne confidently strode toward the entrance, a security guard stopped her. She tried to reason with him peacefully, but he refused to allow her inside. Just as she was considering forcing her way in, the guard moved aside respectfully, pulling Yvonne along with him.Yvonne turned to see a sharp-looking Thomas stepping out of a
