"What are you talking about?" Yvonne widened her eyes in surprise. "Why would I put myself in such danger just to frame you? Uncle Patrick, you shouldn’t accuse people without any evidence!" Patrick spat on the ground. "Don't call me "Uncle Patrick"! I am so unlucky to have a niece like you! You don't even respect your own father; who knows what despicable things you're capable of?" He turned to the police, who were watching. "Officers, this woman is up to no good! Don't just listen to her side of the story! I'm innocent!"The police couldn't bear it anymore. "The young lady has been nothing but kind and respectful. On the other hand, you hadn't said anything pleasant since you walked in. Ms. Miller, since you've had such a frightful incident, please stay inside the room. We'll handle things here and ensure that justice is served."The police urged Yvonne to go back into the waiting room. She nodded obediently. Turning around, the fear in Yvonne’s eyes melted away and was replaced by
"What do you mean? Hasn't it already been investigated? It has nothing to do with Patrick—" Thomas was trying to exonerate Patrick from his involvement in the purchase of fake diamonds so hastily that he couldn't even string together proper sentences without stammering. "He hasn't told you yet, has he?"Yvonne cut in coldly: "Mr. Lind, who sold fake diamonds to Patrick, is in my hands. He also agreed to testify against him. That was why Patrick was clutching at straws."Thomas was stunned. Mr. Lind was in Yvonne's hands? Why didn't he know about any of this? Didn't Patrick say that the man he worked with wouldn't sell anyone out? What was going on?"I will not forgive Patrick. I'll follow through so that he gets his punishment. If you still want to get involved in this, don't blame me for not showing you mercy even though you are my father." Yvonne pointed her finger at the door. "You know what to do."Since she was being so firm in her stance, Thomas dared not help Patrick anymore
Stephen's thought of reconciling with Yvonne vanished right away.He hadn't even forgotten Xavier’s case yet. How dare she have the nerve to meet Noah? Did she have no regard for him as her husband?Stephen ordered coldly, "Tell him that Yvonne is alright now. She's not available to meet any guests at the moment as she's resting.""Okay." Mr. Carroll then returned to the front door and told Noah exactly what Stephen had said."If that's the case..." Noah looked at the villa and smiled casually. "Alright then, let her rest. I'll visit another day."Noah let the driver take him back to Anderson Mansion. His eyes still rested on the villa as they pulled out of the driveway.Noah's car had followed Stephen the whole time he'd been searching for Yvonne. And the discovery was interesting… It looked like Stephen really cared about the troll....It was nighttime. Stephen was about to go to bed when he heard the door knocking. As he opened the door, Yvonne leaned against the door frame
"We're married. If you listen to what I say, I won't leave you."Stephen always thought of women as trouble and naturally thought the same of marriage. That's why he was so against it when Elizabeth arranged his marriage for him. But come to think of it, he didn't seem to resist living with her for the rest of his life.She couldn't only cure his eyes, but she could also help him in other areas. Like right now, she could also satisfy his needs. Stephen lowered his head and moved closer to her. She could feel his breath on the tip of her nose.Yvonne drew her neck back. "We will never be apart?""Yes." Stephen didn't even hesitate for a moment.Yvonne didn't believe in promises. Especially the promises men made on the spur of the moment. That kind of promise was nothing. However, she was willing to go along with it for the time being. She smiled. "Alright. I believe you."Her radiant smile came into his sight, and he held his breath momentarily. Then he wrapped his arms around her
If Elizabeth said so, there is no way she could reject her directly. So Yvonne resorted to saying, "We'll work hard on it.""Good. It’ll be nice if you both listen." Camille became curious as she glanced at Stephen. She clearly remembered increasing the dosage of aconite in his medication so it would be more intense, so why did he look better? What the hell?She pushed the pack of medication toward Yvonne. "Are you making sure Stephen takes his medicine on time?""I am." Yvonne answered, appearing to be the picture of obedience. "Don’t you think he looks better?"Her words make Camille speechless. So Yvonne was the problem! Camille smiled. "Yes, we all wish that Stephen will recover soon.""I know." Yvonne looked at Stephen. "I hope he recovers soon too." Even though she looked affectionate, she was actually gnashing at her teeth. She would've left him to suffer if she'd known that he would be so annoying.Camille didn’t stay for long. She repeatedly reminded Yvonne to give Steph
Yvonne was in low spirits today, perhaps because she'd suffered the entire day yesterday. She went straight to bed after she had dinner. She slept until midnight. She heard someone knocking on the door in a daze. Irritated, she crept out of bed and opened the door with a long face. "Who is it? What aren't you sleeping at the middle of the—"A figure passed by her, breaking her off in the middle of her sentence. He said in a deep voice, "There's something I want to talk to you about."Yvonne trembled and looked at Stephen’s back with a frown on her face. Did he need to go crazy in the middle of the night? She closed the door and followed him while yawning. "Can’t you say it tomorrow? I’m so tired—"Stephen turned around abruptly. She wasn’t able to react quickly and almost bumped into his chest. With his blurry vision, he could still see that she only wore a sling nightdress. Her fair skin made her look like she was shining.He couldn't help but think back to how her skin felt aga
Yvonne received a call from her assistant early the next morning, informing her that Mr. Lind had gone to the police station to report Patrick for purchasing fake diamonds from him in person. Miller Jewels' legal department had also gone there early to assist in the investigation. After the investigation results came out, Miller Jewels could press charges against Patrick immediately and ask him to compensate for the company's losses and pursue the company's funds.Everything was under Yvonne's control. She was in a great mood. She was even humming to herself when she went downstairs. "Madam, what made you so happy?" Tabitha asked out of curiosity."It's about the company," Yvonne replied. She saw Stephen sitting at the dining table and greeted him. "Good morning, Mr. Anderson."Tabitha felt that something was wrong between them, and she was pretty worried about it. So she was very happy when she saw Yvonne taking the initiative to greet Stephen. Tabitha elbowed Stephen when he
Yvonne didn't even turn her head back to look at him. "We have no grudges against each other. I don't think we need to meet in private except for business."Xavier was smiling the whole time. "Since we hold no grudges against each other, why must you be unapproachable?""It was you." Kayla came and stood beside Xavier. She stared at Yvonne arrogantly. "You're so shameless. This isn't the place for you. How dare you come in!""There's actually a sign saying no dogs are allowed outside the door. Didn't you just come in?" Yvonne answered with a question.Kayla lost her temper and shouted, "Yvonne Miller!""You're not allowed to bark here.""You…"Kayla stomped her foot angrily. She couldn't fight with Yvonne directly since Xavier was here; it would ruin her image as the refined daughter of a wealthy family. She could only clench her fists, her nails digging into her palms.Kayla's friends rushed to her side. Sensing that something was wrong, they quickly spoke in support of her.
