Yvonne had never thought that the charity gala would be such a huge affair. On the way there, Regina said, "Just treat it as a gathering for good friends. It's really informal."When Yvonne arrived, she realized that all of the city's wealthiest people had joined the charity gala. Every single one of them was worth millions! Yvonne turned to smile at Regina. "Regina, I thought you said that it's just a normal gathering of friends?"Regina smiled back and replied, "In our circle, this is a normal gathering, right?"Yvonne had no comeback to that. "You're right.""I'll take you to a good friend of mine—the main star of the night." Regina waded through the crowd of glamorous people and led Yvonne inside.From a distance, Yvonne noticed a woman who was surrounded by a group of people. She had an air of extraordinary elegance about her. In a sea of women dressed in gowns, she'd opted for a sharp-looking suit instead. She had a head of gray hair, and her smile was confident. Age had o

Yvonne slowly finished her dessert and then snickered. "Ms. Clarke, you're from a family of scholars. Don't you have a brain?"Ariel frowned a little. "What do you mean?"Yvonne leaned back and crossed her legs, looking relaxed yet a little domineering."The womb is ours, and a baby grows in the womb. Women have the right to give birth to children if they please. Why can't we just have children for our own sake?"Yvonne tutted, pretending to be troubled, and said, "Unless you think that wombs also belong to men? That women exist only to produce children for men?"Then, Yvonne pretended as though a thought had suddenly occurred to her. She smiled. "I almost forgot. You chose to get your tubes tied because of a man. Now I understand why you would say something like that.""You b—" Ariel suppressed her anger, and her ears burned bright red. She uttered through gritted teeth, "Yvonne, you have nothing to be smug about. Don't think that you've won just because Stephen might pay more

Noah knew that they were in the wrong. Hence, he forcefully tugged on Hazel's arm, hinting at her to stop talking.Although Hazel timidly hid behind Noah, she was still glaring daggers at Yvonne.Noah was well-known for his philandering playboy ways. This was the first time he'd been embarrassed in front of so many people, so he couldn't help but panic. Swallowing his anger, he cast a glance at Yvonne, as if asking her for help."Ms. Miller, we should just settle our misunderstanding privately. What do you say?"Yvonne pursed her lips and looked at Noah with fear in her eyes, making herself seem pitiful. Only Noah could see how cruel and calculative Yvonne was. She clearly had no intention of letting this slide. Carmen wasn't one to accept women being mistreated. She looked at Noah sternly. "I've always thought you were courageous enough to face your mistakes. Why don't you clear the air right here and now?"Stephen and Julian walked closer so they could watch the drama unfold b

"When I went to get Mr. Elvin this morning, I opened the door to find that he wasn't in his room. His bag is gone too. Then, I went through the surveillance footage and found out that he left home at 6.30 am. Curtis has already gone to look for him. I came up to tell you, so we could split up into two groups."Yvonne had already put on her coat while listening to Llyod's explanation. She headed out straight away without even washing up.Lloyd followed closely behind her and got into her car. He'd barely buckled his seat belt when the car sped away. The momentum that had forced him back scared him. He secretly held onto his seat belt tightly, praying to God to keep them safe.…Half an hour later, the Anderson family received a call from the kindergarten. "Why isn't Britney in school today? Is she feeling sick?" Britney's teacher asked in concern."Nonsense! I had someone send her to school in the morning!" Philip's expression darkened. "I'll head over right there! You better find

Elvin raised his hand and showed his watch to Yvonne. "Britney reached out to me through this. Uncle Caleb gave it to me; he said I could contact my friends with it."Seeing how innocent Elvin looked, Yvonne thought for a while and sighed in relief. She ruffled Elvin's hair. "It's fine. I was just asking."She considered the incident carefully. How much trouble could a smart kid get into? It was best if she left it alone.…That night, Yvonne put Elvin to bed and returned to her room to shower. As soon as she'd left, Elvin opened his eyes and fished out his laptop and earphones from beneath his bed. Then, he hid under his blanket. He had to make sure that Britney had returned home safely.In her room, Yvonne had finished showering and was wiping her hair dry on the couch. She took her phone and decided to text Stephen. "Has Britney returned to Oceania Villa? Did Mr. Anderson Senior say anything?"Stephen soon replied, "I told him that Britney ran to a nearby playground." He'd u
