"What else can I do? If I want to stop people from gossiping, I have to pretend to be on friendly terms with Yvonne. I'm not going to air our family's dirty laundry out in public."Although Katie had always thought that Thomas and the others would lose to Yvonne purely because they were dumb, she'd never considered Yvonne worthy of being her rival. Yet now she'd found herself defeated by Yvonne. She knew she needed to learn more about Yvonne. She couldn't go against Yvonne head-on unless she had any leverage against her. Katie had worked hard to get where she was; she wasn't going to let that ugly bitch ruin it all. All she needed to do was stay low for a while. She'd have a lot of opportunities to hit back in the future!When Thomas heard Katie's response, he thought that she was concerned about the bigger picture and trying not to embarrass their family. Little did he know that Katie was just looking out for herself. He felt extremely relieved. "Katie, I'm sorry you had to go thr

However, before Yvonne could finish mentally preparing herself, she received a notification that Simone had accepted her friend request.Soon after, Simone sent her a message. "I thought you'd thrown away my business card, Ms. Miller."Yvonne was a little stunned. Had Simone been waiting for her to contact her? She felt flattered by the thought. She held her phone tightly. Simone was a beautiful and famous star, and people couldn't help but want to put their best foot forward with her. Yvonne chatted with Simone seriously for a while before realizing that Simone wasn't as aloof as she looked. On the contrary, she was casual and liked to joke.In the end, it was Simone who asked Yvonne if they should meet up. Simone's message read, "I still haven't been to the newly opened Euphoria Smith."What a coincidence!Yvonne immediately replied, "I know the owner of Euphoria Smith! I'll make sure you have loads of fun there!"Then they agreed to meet up at Euphoria Smith the day after. Aft

Kayla still remembered every single word Xavier said to her. "My mom was a jewelry design champion, but in the end, she chose to be a housewife and take care of her family. You should just be happy as Mrs. Robinson too. You don't need to go out and suffer. If you get tired from all the work, I'll be heartbroken."She'd thought that Xavier had encouraged her not to work out of concern for her. It turns out that he'd always looked down on her capabilities.She retreated a few steps back and fumbled, almost falling over. Then she turned around and fled the scene.…When Yvonne returned to her private room, Simone was already gone. Seeing the note on the napkin, Yvonne found out that one of her friends had come to pick her up. Rachel was utterly dejected that she could no longer spend time with Simone. She slumped on the couch and sighed. "I'd barely spoken to my celebrity crush!"Andy was curious. "Who was it?""A new friend. I'll introduce you to her when I get the chance." Yvonn

"She said she doesn't mind Ariel …" Stephen furrowed his brow. His mind was a mess. He didn't know how he should repeat Yvonne's words.James scratched his chin and thought for a while. "Perhaps she's just testing you? Could this be considered retreating for the sake of advancing?"Stanley was feeling helpless. "Enough, stop your nonsense. Are you really planning to be fed 20 bottles of acid?"James smiled. "I'm helping him analyze the situation, okay! What woman wouldn't mind her husband's ex? Unless they don't have feelings for their husband, there's bound to be drama."Then James hesitated and looked at Stephen. He found it unbelievable. Were there really women in the world who wouldn't fall for Stephen? More importantly, the woman in question was ugly too!Stanley kicked James, asking him to shut up. James received his hint and picked up his glass of alcohol. He wrapped his arm around Stephen and sighed, saying, "Only alcohol can solve all problems!"Stephen was really upset.

The moonlight peeked through the clouds, shining into the room through the window.Under the moonlight, two bodies intertwined in lust. It wasn't until midnight that things finally settled down.Stephen hugged Yvonne the entire night without letting her go.The next morning, Yvonne was woken up by the phone vibrating on the floor. She groggily recalled that she'd arranged Conan's second appointment for today. She was stunned and instantly opened her eyes.Luckily, Stephen was sleeping soundly, so she could escape from his arms. She slipped off the bed and gently picked up her clothes and phone. She only relaxed in relief once she was out of the room, but then she realized that her back hurt. She clutched her lower back and walked out, secretly cursing Stephen.She left the club and got in the car. She remembered that she still had to get the morning-after pill. She had the contraceptives at home, but the incident last night had been too unexpected, so she didn't have anything on h
