"What? Stephen acquired an amusement park company for his son?" James exclaimed upon hearing the news from Julian. Then he turned to look at Stephen. "Buy a company for me too; I'll call you dad from now on."Not long ago, James' world had been shattered when he'd found out that Stephen and Yvonne had a son. Now, with this other piece of news, James felt like he could no longer understand the world. Stephen cast him a cold glance. "Buzz off." James became timid at once and returned to his seat. "Stephen, when are you going to introduce your son to us? I'm quite curious about him." "It's not the time yet," he replied flatly. "What does he mean by 'not the time yet'? He's clearly helpless! Look at how unfazed the kid is despite receiving such a great gift," Julian muttered inwardly. Considering how Elvin had accepted the contract and not the other gifts, it simply showed what a genius he was. He definitely hadn't just taken it because he thought it was fun, but because he knew

"Give me some time to think about it." Noah wanted to pull his hand away, but Hazel tightened her grip on him. "Is that even necessary? Yvonne is divorced and even has a child with Stephen. If you pursue her for real, it's going to be extremely humiliating for your dad and I." The more Hazel thought about it, the more terrified she became. She couldn't believe that she'd almost fallen for Noah's words and thought Yvonne was a suitable match for him. Now, she couldn't allow Noah to pursue Yvonne, not even over her dead body. She couldn't bear the thought of her son, whom she was so proud of, becoming a laughingstock!"You'd better take our lives first if you're still thinking of being together with Yvonne." Hazel was so angry that her eyes reddened. "We can't afford to bear such a disgrace."Noah felt his head throb. "Cut it out, will you? I know what I'm doing." "If so, swear to me then! Promise me that you will never get close to Yvonne again!" Seeing that Hazel wasn't going

Conan was awakened by the doorbell ringing in his hotel room. He'd been up all night, so he'd only gotten two hours of sleep. Naturally, he was very exhausted. Thanks to the doorbell's incessant ringing, Conan forced himself to get out of bed. The moment he flung the door open and saw the person standing outside his room, all traces of sleep vanished immediately."You insolent brat! I see you've grown a pair, huh?" Yvonne grabbed the young man by the ear and started dragging him into the room.Conan had grown a lot taller during the past five years. Now five feet nine inches tall, he had no choice but to bend down while scuttling behind Yvonne pathetically. The pain flaring from his ear made him grimace. "Yvonne, I didn't mean to hide anything from you! Please give me a chance to explain!""What are you going to explain, huh? I know what you're planning, Conan." Yvonne dragged Conan in front of her. "Didn't I tell you that you can't continue developing that medical platform of yours

Soon, Stephen ordered Julian to investigate Conan's whereabouts. Conan was now staying at Miller Villa, and no traces of him could be found anywhere in the entire Northerna City other than his registration records at the first hotel.Conan was now sitting at the desk in his room. Faithful Hope's website was open on the computer monitor in front of him. He'd devoted two years' worth of blood, sweat, and tears into making the healthcare platform. Now, all that was left for him was to optimize the platform before starting a crowdfunding project and advertising Faithful Hope to the entire country. How could he give up so easily at a time like this?He stared at the monitor for a very long time. Its light was reflected off his irises, and it seemed as though there were passionate flames burning in his eyes. The light resembled his ambition as well as his infinite desire for freedom.…Yvonne was under the impression that everything was proceeding according to her plan, seeing as she'd a

In the end, Yvonne never bothered replying to Noah's messages. She could tell that he was just looking for excuses to meet up with her. Anything that could spark a scandal tended to happen in private meetings, not to mention that Noah was still seeing Katie. If Yvonne were to get involved with him even for a second, she would definitely get dragged through the mud.Once Yvonne was done discussing the details of the foundation with Regina and the others, she returned to Miller Villa on her own. She recognized the Maybach parked outside the gates from a long distance away. Surprised, Yvonne stepped on the gas pedal and drove toward the Maybach.Just as Stephen got out of his car, a sports car slowed down to a halt in front of him. It had sped in his direction so quickly that it caused a whirl of dust and grime to fly behind it. When Yvonne wound down her car window, she almost choked on the smoke and dust. She coughed a few times before finally asking, "What are you doing here?"At th
