They were very close to each other, and their eyes met. Yvonne could see all the emotions in Stephen's eyes. The anger, disappointment, and grievances—all these emotions suddenly made the usually aloof and cold Stephen seem a little warmer.Yvonne was a little in a daze. She somehow found this version of Stephen a little adorable. At that moment, he looked like a huge dog who'd gotten hurt. Who could stand that?People with flawless skin were deceiving!She was just about to say something when someone knocked on the door."Stephen, are you inside? Can I go in?""Ms. Clarke, Mr. Anderson is still resting …" Julian was sweating profusely. Who would have thought Stephen's fiancée would come looking for him right after his ex-wife had just entered the room? They would be caught red-handed!Inside the room, Yvonne tried to break free once more, but Stephen grabbed hold of her hand tightly.Yvonne was baffled. He was still a sick person. How could he still be so strong?"Julian will
That night, it rained heavily in Northerna City.Just as Yvonne was still thinking of a way to contact Mark, the doorbell rang. Lloyd opened the door to see a figure lying on the ground outside the gates. He quickly went out in the rain to have a look. He flipped the person over and instantly exclaimed, "Ms. Yvonne! Curtis!"Yvonne and Curtis heard him and went over. When they saw who it was, they were stunned.Conan was passed out on the ground, and his face was covered in blood!Yvonne bent down to do a simple check-up. Just by touching him, she could feel there were a few broken bones. Who knew what other hidden injuries he'd suffered?"Call an ambulance!" Under such circumstances, he had to be sent to the hospital for a radiograph!…At the hospital, Yvonne stood in the corridor, watching as the medical staff took Conan for a CT scan. The breeze that blew by was extremely cold. She couldn't stop shivering.Curtis carefully put a jacket on her. "He'll be fine."Yvonne said
Yvonne still wanted to retort when Stephen's voice rang out nearby. "No need to look for me. I'm here."Everyone looked at Stephen coming over without any expression on his face. He stood next to Yvonne, protecting her subtly, and said in a low voice, "I didn't do this to Conan."Camille rushed over to him and raised her hand, about to slap Stephen, but he grabbed her by the wrist."I'd admit to it if I'd done it, but I didn't do it, so don't even think of putting the blame on me."Then, he shoved Camille back and cast her a cold glance as she fell into Charles' arm.Charles was furious. "If it wasn't you, who would have done this?""I'm still looking into it." Stephen said calmly, "I was afraid that those men would come after Yvonne and her son, so I arranged for people to guard Miller Villa. Tonight, they dropped Conan off and ran, but my men have already gone after them."Stephen had received news from his men, which was why he'd rushed over to the hospital. He was afraid tha
After making sure that Conan's life wasn't in danger, Yvonne and Curtis returned to Miller Villa.Stephen watched them drive off in the rain. Soon after, he received a call from Julian."Sir, our men lost them, but we checked the surveillance footage. The car came out of an abandoned factory. We found the weapons at the crime scene too."While talking to Stephen, Julian looked up at the metal chain hanging high above. He could roughly make out the blood stains on it. He felt a chill run down his back. "I've already contacted the police to come and collect fingerprints.""Hmm." Stephen looked at the gloomy sky, his expression matching it. He didn't have much hope, even though he was investigating it. Those men had done a thorough job. They wouldn't have left such obvious clues as fingerprints. Even if they had, he still might not be able to get to the most important person, the maniac who terrified Yvonne. …A week had passed,and Conan had recovered enough to finally communicate
That night, it was Camille's turn to head home to Anderson Mansion to rest.The moment she entered, Hazel approached her. "I heard Coonan wanted to see Yvonne alone?"Camille looked at her. "How did you know?" Hazel replied with a smile, "I have eyes at the hospital. I'm worried about Conan too, so I got someone to check up on him. I don't mean anything else by this."Camille didn't believe her. She looked away and ignored Hazel. Hazel continued, "Don't you think it's a little strange that Conan insisted on seeing Yvonne after getting beaten up? Could this have anything to do with Yvonne?"Camille was instantly infuriated. "Hazel, if you're mad that you lost to Yvonne, go after her on your own. Don't try to provoke me into dealing with her for you. Let me tell you, anyone could have hurt Conan, but not Yvonne!"Then, Camille left in a huff, leaving Hazel in a daze.What had happened? Why was Camille being so nice to Yvonne?…That night, hackers got into Hopeful Faith's pla
Meanwhile, in Oceania Villa, Stephen was about to leave the house with Britney in his arms when he bumped into Ariel. Ariel was stunned, and she subconsciously asked, "Are you two going to Miller Villa?"Stephen furrowed his brows, and his guard went up. Ariel sensed that she'd misspoken. She quickly added, "I heard that Conan's incident had something to do with Yvonne. I just thought that you'd be looking for her to figure it out."Stephen didn't buy her explanation. He was silent for a while before responding, "Hmm."Britney couldn't see the changes in the adults' reactions. She happily said, "Aunt Ariel, we're going to find El!"Ariel smiled gently. "Is that so?"Britney nodded and invited her without any hesitation. "Do you want to come along?"Ariel was a little taken aback. She looked at Stephen. Clearly, he would never agree to her going there. Besides, why would she go with them? To see Stephen showing concern for Yvonne?Ariel felt bitter, but she smiled and said, "
Stephen entered and noticed the food and only two sets of cutlery on the dining table. He instantly frowned. "Only you two are eating?" Stephen asked."Yes." Yvonne didn't think too much about it. After all, eating was such a simple matter. She didn't need to explain to him that Curtis and the others had already had their breakfast. Not to mention that the food on the table was a result of Caleb's sudden urge to cook since he hadn't cooked for her for a long time.However, the breakfast did seem a little too much.She asked casually, "Have you and Britney eaten? Do you want to have some together?""Sure," Stephen said. Before Yvonne could react, he was already seated at the dining table.Yvonne was speechless. Was Stephen that hungry?Caleb went over to Yvonne and smiled. "Let's go; didn't you say you wanted to try my cooking?"Stephen's frown deepened. Caleb had made all the food. Cooking for Yvonne was something a little too flirtatious for him.Stephen grabbed Yvonne by
In his room, Britney was standing behind Elvin, questioning him, "Why are you ignoring me?"Elvin didn't even look at her and continued typing away on his laptop.Britney was unhappy. She pouted and randomly hit the keyboard."What are you doing?" Elvin got angry and shoved Britney away, making her fall to the ground on her butt. She was in so much pain that she hugged her doll and bawled out crying.Soon, Yvonne and Stephen heard her cries. They pushed open the door to see Britney on the floor crying, whereas Elvin was coding."It hurts." Britney sobbed. Seeing Stephen coming toward her, she felt even more aggrieved. "Dad …"Stephen bent down to pick her up. He gently coaxed, "Don't cry. Tell me, what happened?""He …" Britney pointed at Elvin. "He refused to play with me. He even pushed me away …"Hearing what Britney said, Yvonne said sternly, "Elvin, this is no way to treat someone."Elvin replied without looking. "She destroyed the code I was writing."Before this, Elvin
