It wasn't until a while later that Noah finally continued walking forward. "Mr. Noah, is there someone you know in that private room?" asked his assistant curiously."Yes."If it hadn't been for the waiter who'd taken drinks to that room, Noah wouldn't have caught sight of Yvonne's side profile when the door had opened. It had never occurred to him that he'd run into Yvonne having a meal with Amy when he came out for a social gathering. "Ms. Miller?" Noah repeated in a low voice, his lips curling into a smile. "This is interesting," he thought. If Katie found out about this, she'd probably be furious. …The next day, Amy went to work as usual. Her assistant came to her in a hurry and reported, "Ms. Lawrence, Ms. Jones has come to work."Looking at how nervous her assistant was, she asked, "Isn't that a good thing? What's with your expression?""It's indeed a good thing, but ..." Her assistant scratched her head. "Something seems to be off with her. You'll know it once you
After the birthday party, Elvin was transferred to SunnyLight Kindergarten, which was around six miles away from his previous school.SunnyLight Kindergarten was naturally not as good, but it was the best kindergarten that Yvonne could find within the designated range. Elvin had gotten used to getting up half an hour earlier for school after doing so for several consecutive days. However, it wasn't the same for Lloyd. He literally went out while yawning every morning. Today, the weather was gloomy. Lloyd had slept in. When he woke up, he didn't even have time for breakfast and immediately took Elvin to school. While he was driving, he yawned so much that even his eyes watered."Curtis must have done this on purpose. Who in the world would go out for missions at this hour?" he muttered in his heart. Upon dropping Elvin off at the kindergarten, he habitually said, "Mr. Elvin, be obedient at school today. If you need anything, you can look for me with your watch. I'll be staying
Jax's music video was about the lives of a scientist and a female robot on an isolated island. Most of the scenes would be given to Yvonne, and she needed to express the changes in her emotions, from being indifferent to having an emotional breakdown. There were no lines for the female lead in the video, and the emotional changes needed were going to test how professional the actress could be. Jax cared a lot about looks. He not only wanted a beautiful female lead but also one who was capable. That's why they hadn't been able to find someone suitable in the entire entertainment circle. On the other hand, Lukas had always been inclined toward Ariel, who'd performed the best during the screen test. In fact, Lukas had been waiting for Jax to give in. When that happened, he planned to introduce Ariel to him, and things would then be settled.However, Jax had brought Yvonne with him today. After Yvonne had gone for makeup, Lukas walked over to Jax and said, "Are you serious about thi
Yvonne turned around and asked, "Yes?""Simone had one music video that went viral previously. Was the masked female fighter in red you?"Hearing that, Jax came forward and rested his hand on Lukas' shoulder. "You noticed it? As expected of my director!"Lukas smiled. "If you had told me earlier, I wouldn't have said something like that to her just now. Jax, you deliberately made a fool out of me.""How is that making a fool out of you? It was a surprise I'd prepared." Jax raised his brows. "Moreover, my taste has always been good. You're the one who didn't believe me.""Yes, you're right. I've failed to see how amazing Ms. Miller could be." Then Lukas moved his eyes to Yvonne and bobbed his head slightly as a sign of apology. "Ms. Miller, I apologize for what I said in the morning. I shouldn't have doubted your abilities as soon as we met.""It's okay, I accept your apology." Yvonne turned to look at Jax and said, "I'm leaving now. Let me know if you need anything else.""Alrig
Stephen was sitting opposite Elvin in the VIP room of the paternity testing center.Julian put the snacks he'd bought in front of Elvin. However, the little boy didn't even spare them a glance and kept his eyes fixed on Stephen expressionlessly.Standing aside, Julian watched them staring at each other and felt a little unreal. The more he looked at them, the more he thought that Elvin was the mini version of Stephen. He didn't know that even an imperial temperament could be inherited. If it had been any other child, they definitely would have cried all the way after being caught by a group of strangers. However, Elvin was different. He entered the car on his own and said, "I'll go with you. Don't hurt Lloyd." Not only did he not panic, but he also wanted to protect someone who was more than 20 years older than him. Julian couldn't help but steal a peek at Stephen, wondering if he'd been as smart and sensible as Elvin when he was a child. Right then, a series of hurried foots
When Stephen arrived, gloominess and sadness filled the atmosphere in the whole mansion. Ariel's face was covered with tears. She hurriedly went over to him and said, "Stephen, go and see Grandma quickly. She ..." It was Ariel who'd called him earlier. At that time, the doctor had been performing CPR on Elizabeth. However, there was nothing else that the doctor could do. The family had been told to prepare for the funeral arrangements. The room was filled with Andersons.Elizabeth was lying on the bed with her dying breath, fixing her eyes on the ceiling. When Stephen walked closer, Philip silently moved to the back to make room for him. Elizabeth couldn't say anything. She struggled to flit her eyes from Stephen to Ariel. Stephen could guess what she meant by that. She was telling him to make his promise in front of her before she went the way of all flesh. However, Stephen had only just found out about the existence of his son. He couldn't help but hesitate. How could he
The Anderson family was the most prominent family in Northerna City. Hence, the news of Elizabeth's death naturally spread like wildfire.Yvonne had just given Elvin clothes for him to change into when she received a series of voice messages from Rachel. She played the first. "Mrs. Anderson Senior has passed away! The Anderson family …"Yvonne immediately paused it halfway through and turned around subconsciously to spare a glance at her son, who was changing his clothes obediently. After making sure that he hadn't heard the news, she let out a sigh of relief and turned the rest of the voice messages into texts. The Andersons would be holding a funeral service for Elizabeth for seven days at Northena Memorial Garden. At that time, all the members of the Anderson family would show up. It was said that Harry— Philip and Elizabeth's youngest son, who'd run away from home—would come back too. It seemed like the Andersons would have some heated days coming up soon. Yvonne didn't kno
It had been raining non-stop in Northena City since the day Elizabeth passed away. There were lines of luxury cars parked outside Northerna Memorial Garden. The atmosphere seemed even more gloomy with the sorrowful music being played in the background. Although it was already the third day of the funeral service, a lot of people still came over to give their condolences to the family. Everyone wore solemn expressions on their faces. When they met the family of the deceased, some of them even looked like they were about to cry.The funeral ended up serving as a chance for upper-class society to get close to the Andersons. It was as if the Andersons were going to acknowledge them just because they'd come to give their condolences to them.Stephen was sick of seeing how pretentious these people could be. Just as he was about to turn around and enter the room, the butler's voice came through. "Mr. Harry!"Everyone in the mourning hall looked at the door. Right then, a long-haire
