Half an hour later, Stephen got the surveillance footage. He showed it to Yvonne on his phone.Just as Stephen had expected, the footage showed the corner of the wall and captured Mark in plain view.Mark had even deliberately looked at the camera. He was clearly provoking them! Yvonne gritted her teeth. "He's in Northerna City! What's he trying to do?""Since he's been able to move so freely, I'm guessing someone must be helping him cover up his tracks." Stephen put his phone away and added coldly, "Mrs. Carrington Senior has been helping him this whole time. Now that he dares to show up right in front of us, I'm guessing he will soon return to the Carrington family. He showed up here to tease us about his return.""He is really getting more and more cocky! We have to inform Mr. Carrington about this as soon as possible so that he can be prepared."Yvonne was about to return to her car to grab her phone. She had forgotten about the pain in her ankle, and she stumbled forward.
Right at this moment, someone knocked on the car window.Yvonne jumped and instinctively shoved Stephen aside. She looked out the window to see two security guards trying to look inside the car.Unfortunately for them, the car windows were tinted. The guards could see nothing, so they could only keep knocking on the window.At that moment, Yvonne realized that she'd stopped her car right at the entrance to the underground parking lot. She was blocking other cars from entering. She had to move her car away quickly.She patiently said to Stephen, "I'll go and move the car. Don't come out, okay?" Before Stephen could reply, she opened the car door and got out. Then, she shut the door quickly, slamming it right in Stephen's face.Stephen was a little stunned. Then, he chuckled. They were legally married, yet it felt like they were having an affair.Yvonne roughly explained her situation to the security guard before returning to the driver's seat. Then, she drove the car into the un
That night, when Yvonne passed by Elvin's room, she heard Britney's muffled voice coming through the door.She stopped in her tracks.Through the slit in the door, she saw two heads huddled over the laptop, muttering about something among themselves.Seeing that it was bedtime, Yvonne raised her hand and knocked on the door. "You two, it's time for bed."Surprised, the two children jumped up.Elvin shut his laptop right away, while Britney covered it by putting her doll on it. She looked flustered.Yvonne saw Britney's reaction and got suspicious. She pushed the door open and entered. "Are you two up to no good?"Britney shook her head fervently. "Nope!"On the other hand, Elvin was calm. "Nope.""Hmm?" Yvonne swept a glance at the laptop under the doll. "El, show me your laptop."Elvin furrowed his brows and refused coolly, "Mommy, you're invading my privacy.""Well, I'm your guardian. I have the right to do it based on my judgment of your current actions," Yvonne retorted
"What?" The children yelled in unison. They were shocked.Elvin was the first one to come to his senses. He asked, "Mommy, you're the one who got married to the evil man?""Hmm. Actually, I wanted to tell you this morning when Stephen came over for breakfast, but something came up and I forgot about it.""You two…" Elvin found it hard to process the news.On the contrary, Britney accepted it right away. "Does that mean you're my mommy already, Aunt Yvonne?"Yvonne was still thinking about it when Britney happily hugged her. "Mommy, Mommy!"Yvonne was stunned. Then, she smiled. She wasn't going to ruin Britney's happiness.Britney suddenly looked at Yvonne seriously. "Mommy, did you marry Dad because you love him?"Yvonne was perplexed. Why was such a little child asking such a deep question?"How should I explain this?" Yvonne cupped Britney's face. "Adult relationships and marriages are complicated. Love isn't the only thing that brings two people together. There are other
The next morning, the doorbell at Miller Villa rang.Edith opened the door and saw Stephen standing there. She was stunned for a while before she managed to ask, "Have you taken breakfast?""Yes." Stephen raised a bag in his hand and said in a deep voice, "I'm not here for breakfast. I'm here to deliver medicine.""Medicine?" Edith recalled that Yvonne had been limping when she had returned home the night before. She immediately understood. "You're here to deliver medicine for Ms. Miller? Her ankle was really swollen!"Then, she stepped aside to let Stephen in. "She should come down any moment soon."Chelsea came downstairs. When she saw Stephen, she stopped in her tracks.The sun shone in the living room. On top of his already flawless face, Stephen looked dashing in his suit. All it took was one look to get someone hooked.Chelsea looked at him in a daze. All she could hear was her heart thumping hard. She had seen many good-looking men in her life, but none of them had be
Outside the kindergarten, Stephen returned to the car after handing the children off to their teacher.Yvonne looked at him getting into the driver seat and said casually, "I told them.""Hmm, I can see that." Stephen started the car. "I'll take you to Miller Jewels. Arrange your work for this week. We'll go to Emerald Group this weekend.""So quickly?" Yvonne was a little surprised.Stephen looked at her calmly. "Haven't you been waiting for this?""Yes." Yvonne was delighted, but she remained calm. "Thank you, Mr. Anderson."Even though she remained composed, Stephen could still see that she was happy."Does getting to help Otto make you that happy?" Stephen asked coldly."It's alright." Yvonne cleared her throat. She subconsciously avoided Stephen's gaze. "The best thing is that I get to take my business back and have enough to go up against Mark."Stephen said nothing more. He looked ahead quietly and drove away.They said nothing on the way.When they reached Miller Tow
Before Yvonne boarded the plane, she sent Otto a message. "I'm heading back to Emerald Group. Let me know if there's news on the Carrington family's side."Stephen was next to Yvonne. He happened to see her phone screen and snickered. "Do you need to report your whereabouts to him all the time?"Yvonne rolled her eyes. "Whatever. I can't be bothered to explain such trivial things to you."Stephen immediately became unhappy. "What sort of attitude is that?""You're the one who started mocking me, and you're picking on me for my attitude?" Yvonne kept her phone away and hastened her steps onto the plane, leaving Stephen behind.Stephen's gaze darkened as he saw her walk ahead.…The flight was 18 hours long. Stephen and Yvonne didn't say a single word to each other once, despite being on the same private plane.When the plane landed, it was already the next morning. The two left the airport one after the other.Yvonne was used to wrapping her head in a silk scarf. She walked in
Garrett was the type of person who was friendly to everyone. The moment he started talking, he couldn't stop. The entire journey was filled with his pleasant, cheery voice.From Garrett's chatter, Yvonne learned that he was one of the members of Emerald Group in the past in charge of managing missions and assigning them. That was why he'd been able to get up to speed quickly once he had been transferred to the headquarters. He was a great right-hand man.In less than a month, Stephen had him promoted to the core department. As it turned out, Stephen had great judgment.Garrett had managed to shut up everyone who had questioned Stephen's decisions by proving his own capabilities and character.At that moment, Garrett was singing praises about Stephen to Yvonne."Age-wise, I should be Mr. Anderson's older brother, but I really respect him and am willing to work under him! I've been at Emerald Group for many years, so I can speak about this confidently. "Mr. Anderson is really
