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
"That's not it," Yvonne hurriedly said. Caleb had helped her a lot over the years. How could she not see him as her friend? "Nothing bad happened, and Stephen didn't trouble us either. So ..." "Don't you think it's a little too late for me to find out about it after he's made a move on you? Although Caleb's voice seemed nonchalant, it was clear that he was angry. After a moment's hesitation, Yvonne let out a sigh and asked, "What did Stephen say to you?""He told me that Elvin was his son; perhaps he's asking me to stay away from you." Caleb shrugged. "Sadly, his threat won't work on me." "Are you really not scared?" Yvonne asked."Why should I be scared? My feud with him started when I protected you years ago." Leaning against the kitchen island, he continued, "I've been teaching El to be an upright man, so what kind of guy will I be if I run away from problems? I don't want to be looked down upon by a five-year-old kid."Yvonne was amused. She could imagine Elvin chastising
Coming back to her senses, Ariel turned to look at Jodie. "What can I do about it?"Not only had Yvonne been able to solve the Andersons' problem, but she was also more popular than Ariel. This time, Yvonne had snatched away the chance for her to appear in the music video. What about next time? Was she going to take Stephen away next?Ariel didn't dare to continue that train of thought.When Jodie saw how pale Ariel looked, she frowned. "What's wrong with you? I noticed that you've been distracted and out of it recently. Did something happen with the Andersons?""No." Ariel shook her head. "Perhaps I'm just overthinking things.""You're Mr. Anderson's fiancée. No matter how powerful Yvonne is, she can't take that away from you." A tired sigh escaped Jodie's lips. "It's just that your career ... You've been too focused on the Andersons and not putting much effort into your work, so your fanbase is rapidly shrinking." Netizens assumed that Ariel and Yvonne were rivals, so when one
In the past week, Jax's latest music video had received a consistently high viewership, surpassing those of his past music videos by a wide margin. Delighted, he transferred a sum of money to Yvonne and sent her a message. "What a pleasant cooperation, Ms. Miller! Once the company pays me, I'll give you the commission based on the number of views. Don't worry; you won't lose out!""Thanks," Yvonne replied soon after."What an unflappable person. If it had been someone else, they would probably be in seventh heaven by now," Jax thought.Well, what he didn't know was that Yvonne was busy preparing for the live stream at the moment and barely had time to check the amount of money he'd transferred to her. Instead of making the live stream too formal, she wanted to create a more casual atmosphere. Hence, Yvonne had only asked Nicole and two members of the publicity department to help her with the live stream, which would be held in her courtyard. After setting up the necessary equi
During the 90 minutes of live streaming, the number of viewers hit more than tens of millions. The barrage of comments was so overwhelming that the two employees from the publicity department had a tough time keeping up with them. Yvonne was clueless about how enthusiastic the viewers were; her entire focus was on cutting the stone. She introduced the gemstones and talked about their properties as if she wanted to give the viewers a crash course in how to get steady earnings by investing in gemstones."I'm in the emerald business, and I can tell that Ms. Miller genuinely wants to teach everyone." "My god. How can anyone stay focused when such a beauty is talking in front of you like this?"Before the live stream came to an end, Yvonne announced that all the raw gemstones that had been cut today would undergo secondary processing and cutting. They would eventually become Miller Jewels' new products for the next month. Hearing that, the viewers' anticipation for Miller Jewels' upco
By the next day, the heated online disputes between the two fan parties had gradually subsided. However, Ariel had decided to look for Yvonne instead. Yvonne had just finished her morning meeting when Hayden walked up to her and reported, "Ms. Miller, Ms. Clarke is waiting for you in the other meeting room."Yvonne frowned, thinking, "Ariel? What's she doing here?" Ariel was sipping her tea in the meeting room. When she heard the door open, she put her cup down. Yvonne approached her and sat on the couch. "I wonder what brings you here, Ms. Clarke?"Ariel looked at Yvonne and smiled faintly. "I hope I'm not disturbing you by coming here without informing you in advance." "That depends on how long you're going to stay." Yvonne spared a glance at her watch and casually continued, "I can only give you five minutes, at most, or else it's going to affect my schedule today." Ariel was rendered speechless. She'd never expected Yvonne to be so dismissive. No matter how many time
