"Lead the way." Yvonne was about to enter Dawson Manor when the teenager stopped her once again."You can't let my dad know that you're a doctor!" The girl's complexion turned slightly pale. "J—just say something like—""My company and Dawson Corporation were set to discuss a business deal some time ago. I wasn't able to contact Ms. Dawson during the past few days, so I specifically came over to visit her."Yvonne came up with a reasonable excuse on the spot. The girl's expression lit up in return. "Wow! That's it! You're so smart! Yes, let's go with that!""What's your name?" the older woman asked."I'm Nadia Dawson. You can just call me Nadia.""Got it, Nadia. Now, lead the way.""Alright!" Nadia took the lead happily and led Yvonne into the mansion. "Dad, someone's here to talk business!"Nadia's father, Bernard Dawson, shot up to his feet in the living room. "What on earth are you doing? Didn't I tell you to—"Just as he was about to lecture his daughter, the man happened
Half an hour ticked by after Yvonne had entered Regina's room, yet there weren't any movements or noises coming from within. Bernard was starting to grow impatient as he waited for Yvonne outside the room. Nadia quickly stopped him just as he was about to knock on the door."Dad, don't be rude! Didn't that lady tell you to wait for her to come out?""You little—" Bernard turned to glare at his daughter. He pointed out suspiciously, "You've been acting weird today. Why did you insist on sticking your nose into the adults' matters?""W—well, I—" Nadia looked down at her feet without realizing it; her heart was filled with guilt. "You never cared about Aunt Regina, so I got scared. Dad, why didn't you hire a doctor for—"The man covered his daughter's mouth hastily. "Don't spout nonsense!"At that moment, Yvonne opened the door and happened to witness the scene unfolding before her eyes. Her red lips curled into a small smile as she asked, "What are you two doing?""N—nothing!" Bern
Yvonne received a text from Nadia the next day. It appeared that Regina had already regained consciousness, but she was in a very bad mood and refused to eat or drink at all. Yvonne pitied the poor woman and had prepared some pills for her in advance, so she asked Nadia to drop by Miller Tower for them.The teenager showed up outside Yvonne's office at 4 pm sharp. Soon, Yvonne handed the pills to Nadia. "Tell your aunt to take these pills twice a day. She should only take one pill at a time. The effects should kick in after taking them for two consecutive days."Nadia accepted the pills happily. "Got it! Thanks, Yvonne!""Your aunt did suffer from emotional heartbreak at the end of the day. Medicine alone won't be able to cure her illness. You need to advise Ms. Dawson to let the whole matter slide. Her current social status and wealth will definitely make the task of finding herself a good husband a lot easier, after all."Upon hearing Yvonne's advice, Nadia widened her eyes in su
Nadia got into the cab after leaving Miller Tower. She watched the music video on repeat with her earphones plugged in and a smile etched on her face the whole time.Now that she'd watched the visualized draft of the music video, she eagerly looked forward to the official video. The music video was bound to make huge waves on the internet once it was uploaded. Even though Nadia was Jax's loyal fan, she had the urge to become Yvonne's fan instead."Yvonne, I seriously appreciate how pretty you are! Ugh, I don't want to remain Jax's fan anymore! Let me become your fan! From now on, I'll be your biggest fan ever!" Naomi texted her happily after getting out of the cab.Once she was done, she slipped her phone into her pocket and walked into Dawson Manor while humming a tune. Nadia made a beeline for the staircase right away. However, she heard Bernard shouting at her, prompting her to turn around in bafflement while taking out her earphones. "What's wrong, Dad?""I should be the one
When Yvonne received a dinner invitation from Nadia, she thought that it was a good opportunity for her to check Regina's vitals and see how she was recovering. Hence, she accepted the invitation right away.After arriving at the restaurant they were supposed to meet at, Yvonne stepped into the private room right on the dot. Both Nadia and Regina were waiting for her in the private room.Nadia quickly introduced Yvonne to her aunt. "Aunt Regina, this is Yvonne Miller, the woman I told you about. She's super pretty, right? I wasn't exaggerating at all!""Yes." Regina flashed Yvonne a gentle smile while eyeing her up and down. "She's definitely gorgeous."Yvonne chuckled softly. "Ms. Dawson, please don't take Nadia's words seriously.""You're not giving yourself enough credit, Ms. Miller. I've always thought that Nadia was a pretty unreliable girl, but now that I've met you in person, I've realized that she has a good eye for beauty."Regina then raised a hand as a gesture for the
After learning about the situation from Noah, Regina immediately guessed that this had been Bernard's doing.Even though they hadn't finished their meal yet, Regina was in a hurry to meet Bernard. Hence, she apologized to Yvonne before excusing herself and leaving with Nadia in tow. Noah looked at Yvonne and asked like a gentleman, "It's late now. How about I drop you back?""It's okay." Yvonne refused and picked up her bag and gift. "I drove here myself. There's no need for you to trouble yourself, Mr. Noah."When he realized Yvonne was about to leave, Noah followed after her immediately. "When did you get to know Ms. Dawson? It seems like you're quite close to her.""It was just a coincidence," Yvonne replied."Really?" Noah asked doubtfully. The Andersons and the Dawsons had just gotten into a conflict. Given the timing, it was hard not to find Yvonne's new friendship with Regina suspicious.Yvonne paused in her tracks and spared a cold glance at Noah. "Is there something
That night, Regina made an appointment to have a meal with the Andersons without further ado. The following day, she arranged a sumptuous feast for them. With Noah assisting him, Philip entered the private room. Harry and Brenda followed behind them.Regina had carefully chosen her outfit for today, making sure that she was dressed impeccably. Her lustrous black hair was tied into a bun, and there was light make-up on her face. The silk dress she wore further accentuated her noble and elegant demeanor, completely overshadowing Brenda.Brenda couldn't help but feel inferior. She stood beside Harry in silence, not having the guts to even raise her head. Regina didn't notice her. Her eyes had been fixed on Harry, and she felt extremely conflicted. Before she realized it, tears had misted over her eyes. "Let's have a seat."It wasn't until Regina heard Philip's voice that she snapped back to her senses. She hurriedly wiped her tears away and gestured for everyone to sit. "Regina
"Dawson Corporation has returned the shipment to Anderson Group and hasn't said anything more about stopping cooperation," Julian reported to Stephen, with his head lowered. "Apparently, Ms. Dawson also tore the marriage certificate apart in front of Mr. Anderson Senior and cut ties with Mr. Harry." Stephen hummed in response, staring at the ripples on the lake in a daze. He wasn't interested in what Julian was saying. A short while later, someone came and sat on the empty chair next to him. Upon seeing who it was, Julian greeted him, "Mr. Turner." Caleb nodded and looked at the fishing rod next to Stephen. "It seems like you're in a good mood, Mr. Anderson."Stephen didn't pay him any attention. Caleb wasn't really bothered by that. "Actually, I've wanted to look for you for a long time. But I heard that Mrs. Anderson Senior passed away, so I thought I'd wait a while before coming to you when you're free." Turning his eyes to Stephen, he continued, "Noah came to see me. He wa
