"She hired an expert ghost designer to come up with the drafts for her," Xavier continued seriously. "I'm still investigating the matter as we speak. Once I'm able to procure some results, I'll give you a copy of the information as soon as possible. Think of this as a favor. What do you think?"

Yvonne thought she'd burst into uncontrollable fits of laughter for a moment. An expert ghost designer, he said?

It was impossible for Xavier to investigate the identity of the so-called ghost designer. Even if Yvonne were to drop hints right now, he would never have thought that the 'ghost designer' was Tara Miller, who'd passed away many years ago.

Thankfully, the corridor was dimly lit, so Xavier didn't notice the mocking smile lingering on her lips.

He even added, "If we can expose Kayla's actions in public, we can definitely drag Jones Jewels' name through the mud as well. Don't you want to see this outcome?"

"You want to see this outcome as well, right?" Yvonne leaned against the wall

    Without further ado, Stephen grabbed Yvonne's wrist and pulled her up from the couch, saying, "Come with me."Yvonne weighed the consequences of putting up a fight against him in front of everyone. It didn't matter whether she won or lost—it just wasn't a good idea to do so.She lowered her head and said to Nicole, "You guys have fun, yeah? Just send me the bill later so I can give you the money."Nicole nodded in response and watched as Stephen led Yvonne away. She then came back to her senses and realized that there had been a strange glint in Stephen's eyes. Would Yvonne be okay?After they stepped out of Euphoria Smith, Stephen tried to shove Yvonne into the car. But Yvonne was quick to react and braced her arms against the door frame. She shot Stephen a cold look and said, "If you have anything to say to me, we can talk right here.""Come home with me." Stephen's voice was low, and the threat in his voice was clear.Yvonne said firmly, "Stephen, we're currently in the proces

    "That's right."Yvonne hugged a cushion and made herself comfortable against the armrest of the couch. She looked at Andy leisurely and said, "You need to buck up. Otherwise, the gold prize might just wind up in Kayla's hands. But the manuscript she has belongs to my mother. It wouldn't be strange if you lost to her."Andy looked at Yvonne in disbelief and said, "Isn't she your rival?" As he said that, realization dawned on him, and he turned to look at Yvonne again. "Wait a second, do you have some sort of plan in mind?""You're still asking me even though you already have a hunch?" Yvonne replied. She raised an eyebrow and continued, "Kayla's life has been smooth sailing recently—she's practically flourishing. My father is surely pleased with her. Why don't you take a guess? Will Jones Jewels ever give up on an opportunity that's right in front of them?"Andy said in realization, "Oh! You've laid down a trap!""Yep."Thomas and the rest of them would never have expected Yvonne

    Kayla recounted the events that had happened to Monica. Monica frowned and asked, "Xavier is still thinking about Yvonne?""Well, not entirely. I don't think he's as obsessed with her as he was before, but …" Kayla pursed her lips and continued, "I just don't like seeing them standing next to each other.""So … You want me to give you some advice about how to make Yvonne stay away from Xavier?" Monica asked.Monica laughed when she saw Kayla nod her head seriously. She replied, "It's easy, really. You're pretty much set to win the gold prize in the competition, and the Robinson family has been treating you very well lately. All you need to do is say the word, and you won't have a problem to deal with anymore."After that, Monica quickly briefed Kayla about what she should tell Arthur.… The next day, Kayla arrived at Robinson Residence and kept Arthur company as she usually did. As time passed, she naturally brought up the jewelry design competition in conversation."Xavier's

    "I won't stop you," Xavier said emotionlessly. His voice was cold as he continued, "But you can't blame me for the consequences that will follow, Grandfather.""You—" Arthur was furious and slammed his hands on the table when he saw Xavier stride out the door nonchalantly. He wanted to see just what sort of consequences Xavier would be able to bring upon him.…Arthur was a man of his word.Three days later, Xavier and Kayla's wedding was the talk of town. Everyone was excited and talked about how good it was that the two were getting married.Yvonne was in the dark about what had happened three days ago, and she assumed that the Robinsons were trying to fake it. Perhaps they were afraid that Kayla would change her mind and abandon them."Wow, just what sort of insane luck does Kayla have to get married into the Robinson family? She must be over the moon right now," Rachel complained over the phone. Yvonne was only half-listening to her rant when she suddenly recalled something

    It was late at night. Once again, Stephen was under the big tree at Miller Villa. He remained there until all of the lights in the building went out before driving home.The road was empty, and his surroundings were silent. As he drove, Stephen began to get lost in his thoughts. All of a sudden, he heard a loud noise come from behind him, and a strong impact shook his car. Stephen frowned when he saw a black Volkswagen in his rearview mirror. The driver had already gotten out of the Volkswagen. His gait was uneven, and he staggered forward. It seemed like he was drunk. Stephen thought it was a simple case of drunk driving, so he got out of his car without a second thought."It's best to let the police handle this case of drunk driving," Stephen said as he moved to call the police. To his surprise, the driver charged at him suddenly and sent his phone flying.Immediately after that, a group of men in masks got out of the car and surrounded Stephen. It happened too fast, and Steph

    At Miller Tower, Yvonne turned to Julian once he'd finished explaining the situation to her. She replied, "You're expecting me to find someone that even the Anderson family can't? You must think too highly of me."There was a look of distress on Julian's face as he said, "Madam, I understand that you're still upset with him, but these are—""These are two separate matters, yes. You've turned to me because I'm your last resort, and you want to know if I have any leads," Yvonne said. She shrugged her shoulders and continued, "I'm sorry, I can't help you with this. Instead of wasting time talking to me, you should pay a few more visits to the police."Seeing that Yvonne was about to get up and leave, Julian stopped her and cried, "Madam! Mr. Anderson went missing because he went to see you! He'd been driving to the Miller Villa every night, forbidding anyone from accompanying him. He'd stay there until it was late at night before returning home."Yvone paused when she heard that, a co

    On the outskirts of Northerna City, there was a vast open area where heaps of abandoned cargo containers were stacked. It was very secluded, and nobody had set foot in the area for the past year.That night, a man and woman walked into the abandoned junkyard. They were both wearing black sweaters that blended their silhouettes into the night perfectly.Curtis headed straight toward a container. He hesitated a little as he took out the keys. It had only been three days. How could it possibly compare to the pain that Yvonne had to go through with her abortion?Despite his reluctance, Yvonne was standing behind him, so he had no choice but to grit his teeth and unlock the doors to the container.A cold metallic flash flew by them as soon as he pushed the doors open.Stephen had launched himself at Curtis the instant the doors opened. Yvonne quickly struck Stephen's neck with the blunt side of her knife.Stephen fell, and the glass shard in his hand also fell to the ground.Curtis s

    Fortunately, it was just a false alarm, and Elizabeth wasn't doing as badly as they'd thought.When Elizabeth had been sent to the ICU, Philip had gone to meet Dr. Faber. He'd been briefed on the situation via phone call earlier that morning.He was furious and yelled, "Find those people for me! Turn the entire city upside down if you have to! These punks had the audacity to attack the Anderson family! We can't let them go so easily."Hazel muttered, "Hmph! Stephen's usual attitude must've rubbed many people the wrong way. That's why this happened to him. Ugh, he should be the only one to bear the consequences. Why did it have to affect Mother too?"William nudged her and signaled her to shut up. Philip ignored her underhanded remark and turned to Stephen, saying, "I just spoke with Dr. Faber about Elizabeth's condition. He has a friend who specializes in neurology. Do you think we should have them examine her?"Stephen nodded and said, "Yeah.""Alright, that's settled. As long a

Before they'd known it, Mark had been taken away.Just when Daniel and Katherine had been on the brink of losing it, they had received a call from the kidnapper to bring the ransom to a specific spot.They had gotten the money and driven there without any hesitation.

    As Yvonne left the room, she could tell that Stephen's mood was much better.She looked at him. "Are you thinking of something nice?""No." Stephen looked at Yvonne with a rare twinkle in his eyes."Let me take you to breakfast." Before Yvonne could respond, he took her hand and led her to the elevator.Thinking about how he'd stood outside her room the entire night, Yvonne decided to let him hold her hand.Then, her thoughts drifted to Otto. Somehow, she had a bad feeling.…At the same time, Mark was in the courtyard of Carrington Mansion. He sat next to Agatha and poured some tea for her.He handed her a cup of hot tea.

    Yvonne stood by the door of the bedroom and looked at Otto, who was looking out of the window in a daze on the bed.The sun shone on his face. He looked quite hungover and had a sickly pale face.Yvonne hesitated for a while before saying gently, "Mrs. Jenner called me last night. She's worried about you."Otto didn't respond.Yvonne went in closer and added, "She said that you called her and asked about your father. She found it strange."Mr. Carrington, why did you suddenly think about your father? Did Mrs. Carrington Senior bring him up yesterday?"All Yvonne got was silence.Luckily, she was patient. She sat on the couch and followed Otto's line of sight. Tiny dust particles were floating among the sunbeams. Yvonne also fell into a daze as she watched them float about.Suddenly, Otto asked, "Have you ever felt like your world was falling apart?""Hmm?" Yvonne was confused. "For example?""I mean, like the person that you trust turns out to be different from what you'd t

    The next morning, Yvonne opened her door to see Stephen standing outside. She was caught off guard."What is wrong with you this morning? Why didn't you knock…"While talking, Yvonne noticed that Stephen was still wearing the same clothes as the night before. She furrowed her brows and asked, "Don't tell me you didn't leave last night? Have you been standing outside this door all this while?""Hmm." Stephen looked at Yvonne intently. "I thought you would've figured it out quickly."Yvonne was speechless, but she thought to herself that she'd slept like a baby the night before.She smiled at him. "Figure what out?" She noticed Stephen frowning as though he were on the brink of losing his temper.She quickly added, "I-I mean, you have to give me a hint, right? I've thought about it the entire night, but I still don't understand. My brain isn't functioning well."Stephen asked suspiciously, "You've been thinking about it the entire night?""Yes, which is why I didn't look for yo

    "If I hadn't come to find you tonight, you probably wouldn't tell me anything about what happened tonight, would you?" Stephen asked in retort.It wasn't a big deal, as long as they returned safely. Yvonne wondered why she needed to report this to him.But she still smiled. "It's late. How could I disrupt your rest? It would've been the same if I told you about it tomorrow morning, right?"Stephen sniggered. "Yvonne, you still don't know where you've gone wrong."He suddenly went in closer to her. Yvonne instinctively retreated until her back was up against the wall. She glared at him."What on earth is wrong with you? I've already said that I would've told you tomorrow morning—"A punch went past Yvonne and landed brutally on the wall.Yvonne was a little stunned. She looked into Stephen's eyes and furrowed her brows. "Stephen, I don't want to quarrel with you for no reason. "Mrs. Carrington Senior went to look for Otto today. Calbert couldn't reach him the entire day, so he

    Jane returned to the private room, distracted.She sat down next to Cory. She looked at him as he reached his hand out to her in confusion.Cory furrowed his brows and asked unhappily, "Where's the wine?""Wine… Yes! Wine!" Jane came to her senses. She was just about to get up when Cory pulled her back.He grabbed her by her chin and forced her to look at him. "What happened when you went out?""N-Nothing."Cory tightened his grip. Jane furrowed her brows in pain. "I-I… I saw Yvonne. She told me that she and Stephen got remarried.""What?" Cory relaxed his grip a little. "They got remarried?""Hmm.""So, what?" He had no intention of letting her go, and he looked at her sharply. "Does it bother you so much that Stephen got remarried?"Jane looked at Cory frantically. "Cory, what do you mean by that?""What do I mean? You know what I mean."Cory went in closer. His tone turned icy. "You used to pursue Stephen. Now that you know he's gotten married, you're in this shitty mood

    Yvonne turned around to see Jane smiling at her ambiguously. She furrowed her brows. How were they always bumping into each other?Jane crossed her hands in front of her chest and leaned against the wall. She swept her gaze at Calbert and Otto. "Two guys and one woman. You sure know how to have fun!"Calbert instantly snapped, "What the hell are you talking about?""Why are you being so fierce? Did I hit the nail on the head?" Jane snickered. "Two guys and a woman came out of a private room in the middle of the night. Anyone would come to the same conclusion. We're all adults. There's no need to pretend to be innocent.""You—" Calbert was about to go up to Jane, but Yvonne stopped him."Since Ms. Ford is here, I'm guessing so is Cory?" Yvonne smiled, yet her smile didn't reach her eyes. "If you cause a scene here and this bar gets raided, guess who'll be the ones walking out here alive?"Jane's expression turned ugly.

    Calbert and Yvonne managed to track Otto's car to a bar, thanks to the information they'd gotten from his staff. Otto's car was right outside the bar.Calbert looked at the neon sign and furrowed his brows. "Why is Otto here? Did what Mrs. Carrington Senior said really hit him so badly that he has to drown himself in alcohol?"Yvonne said nothing and headed directly inside the bar."Wait up for me!" Calbert went after her. He subconsciously protected her from all the drunk patrons.The lighting in the bar was dim. Many of the patrons were drunk and having fun.Yvonne and Calbert walked around the booth area, but Otto was nowhere to be found. They pulled a server over to ask if there was a patron by the name of Otto Carrington who had reserved a private room.Coincidentally, the server had just taken two bottles of wine to Otto's room. So, he led them to the private room.Calbert tipped the server before opening the door and entering. The entire room reeked of alcohol.He looked

    After Agatha left, Otto stood in the same spot without moving.A long time later, Zac entered the office. He looked at Otto's back and asked quietly, "Mr. Carrington, will you still see the client?""No." Otto sounded heartbroken.Zac didn't dare ask further questions. He gently closed the door and reminded the secretary that no one was to disturb Otto.In the office, Otto was alone. He slowly walked over to the couch and slumped into it. His mind was in a mess."Alexander was the one who planned the kidnapping back then."Agatha's words rang in his mind for a long time.Alexander's young face appeared in Otto's mind, smiling at him affectionately."Otto! Amazing! Yes! Just like that!""You're amazing at badminton! You're going to make the country proud! I'm going to be so proud of you!""Otto, my son!"Memories of his interactions with Alexander flashed across his mind at that moment.Otto couldn't imagine that such a loving father would do such an absurd thing.
