Meanwhile, Xavier stood on the steps of the restaurant, watching the Maybach drive out of sight. If he wasn’t mistaken, the figure sitting in the back seat was Stephen. What a surprise! Stephen had finally left the mansion, and more importantly, it was to pick up an ugly woman. If word of this got out, it would be the most sensational scandal in Northerna City. Yvonne’s last words before she left echoed in Xavier’s ears. Smirking, he muttered to himself, "Pointless? I don’t think so."Thanks to Yvonne's easy-going personality, the atmosphere in the car had eased considerably. Julian breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Madam was a perceptive woman; otherwise, he would've had a headache dealing with both of them. "Don't meet with Xavier so often in the future," Stephen suddenly blurted out in a domineering manner. "Why?" Yvonne replied without hesitation. "Do I have to tell you the reason?" Stephen sneered. "Do you really think Xavier would be interested in an ugly woman like yo

After leaving the hotel in a taxi, Yvonne received a call from Rachel. She hadn’t forgotten about Yvonne’s "boyfriend" and insisted on meeting him before leaving for her next project. Yvonne was caught in a dilemma. If she'd known this would be a problem earlier, she wouldn’t have used Stephen as an excuse in the first place. Besides, she was still ignoring Stephen because of their fight. She felt a migraine creeping up on her. "You guys fought?" Rachel exclaimed in surprise, "What did you fight about? Did he mistreat you?"He kicked me out of the car in the middle of the night. I had to get back home on my own." "What the hell!" Rachel immediately raised her voice. "He's such a scumbag! Why are you staying with a jerk with such violent tendencies? You should've told me earlier so that I could teach him a lesson!" Seeing that Rachel was all up in arms, Yvonne hurriedly appeased her, saying, "To be honest, I was actually the one at fault. I went to meet other men behind his back."R

Julian visited in the afternoon to give Stephen a report about work. However, he realized that Stephen was only listening half-heartedly; he was distracted and had a sour expression on his face the whole time. Julian closed his file with a snap. "Mr. Anderson, are you still giving Madam the cold shoulder?""She still hasn't realized her mistake," Stephen blurted out. He'd been waiting for someone to ask him about it so that he could finally vent. "It's obvious that Xavier had ulterior motives for approaching her. Am I in the wrong to forbid her from meeting him? I really don’t know what she's thinking!" Julian was speechless. It suddenly dawned on him that there was a reason why his boss had been single for years. He tried to persuade Stephen by saying, "Mr. Anderson, I think she also has a point. You are aware of the Robinson family’s influence in the jewelry industry. If she offended them…" "How much is Miller Jewels worth? Is it that important for her to suck up to Xavier?" Steph

Out of habit, Yvonne put in her earphones for the drive. She leaned against the taxi window and closed her eyes for a quick rest. However, when the taxi made a big turn, Yvonne realized that something was wrong and opened her eyes. Looking at the unfamiliar scenery outside the windows, she couldn't help but feel uneasy. She pulled out her phone and opened the map as she stole a glance at the driver. She realized that the taxi was heading towards the industrial zone in the east. The direction was completely opposite the city center, where Miller Tower was located. There was no doubt that she was being kidnapped, and the most likely perpetrator behind this was Patrick. Yvonne lowered her head, a wry smile on her lips. He acted pretty fast.Half an hour later, the taxi stopped in the middle of a container yard. The deserted area was littered with abandoned shipping containers. The taxi driver looked at Yvonne, who was sleeping soundly in the backseat, and chuckled contemptuously. Thi

"What are you talking about?" Yvonne widened her eyes in surprise. "Why would I put myself in such danger just to frame you? Uncle Patrick, you shouldn’t accuse people without any evidence!" Patrick spat on the ground. "Don't call me "Uncle Patrick"! I am so unlucky to have a niece like you! You don't even respect your own father; who knows what despicable things you're capable of?" He turned to the police, who were watching. "Officers, this woman is up to no good! Don't just listen to her side of the story! I'm innocent!"The police couldn't bear it anymore. "The young lady has been nothing but kind and respectful. On the other hand, you hadn't said anything pleasant since you walked in. Ms. Miller, since you've had such a frightful incident, please stay inside the room. We'll handle things here and ensure that justice is served."The police urged Yvonne to go back into the waiting room. She nodded obediently. Turning around, the fear in Yvonne’s eyes melted away and was replaced by
