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
Elvin became nervous and guilty instantly. "I …""Don't tell me that Britney told you all these things through the watch." Yvonne was extremely calm. She reached out to undo Elvin's watch.Before Elvin could react, Yvonne was already going through his watch. She realized that it was just all messages from Britney with cute emojis and daily questions about what he was doing. There were no messages about what Elvin had just said.Yvonne instantly felt lied to and disappointed. Her son was only five years old, and he already knew how to lie to her. She clenched her fists tightly and enunciated, "Haven't I told you before not to lie to me?""I …" Elvin lowered his head. "I didn't mean to do it.""Why did you lie to me?" Yvonne asked.Seeing that he could no longer maintain the lie, Elvin told Yvonne about the bugging device. Yvonne was furious. "How could you use such a terrible method to invade other people's privacy?""I was only trying to help you …" Elvin looked at Yvonne innoce
When Britney was asleep, Stephen gently picked up the doll and quietly walked out of the room.He opened the door to his room and turned on the lights. His focus was on the doll, so he didn't notice that Ariel was in his room. When he closed the door, he finally heard Ariel's shy voice. "Stephen, I've waited for you a long time."Stephen looked up suddenly and instantly looked away after one glance. His expression turned ugly. He rebuked her, saying, "What are you doing?"His reaction distinguished Ariel's last ray of hope. She'd made a huge decision to wear a thin, sheer sleeping gown, but Stephen had merely given her one glance and found it despicable.Ariel was disappointed, but she still forced a smile and walked over to Stephen. "Stephen, we're engaged. We're going to do this sooner or later, right?" She had two glasses of red wine in her hand. She'd already drunk some alcohol to muster her courage before this. At that moment, Ariel was a little intoxicated and looked at S
At that moment, Yvonne sighed inwardly. Luckily, she'd found out about it the night before, so she was at least a little bit prepared.She opened the door and got out of the car. She crossed her arms and asked, "What's this?"Stephen said slowly, "You should ask Elvin. What was he thinking when he put this in Britney's doll?" After he'd chased Ariel away the night before, he'd carefully checked the doll and found the bugging device hidden well inside.Linda had made this doll for Britney herself right after she'd given birth. When Britney was a little older, he'd given the doll to her and told her it was precious, so she should take good care of it.That was why Britney took the doll wherever she went. The doll would be in her bag even when she went to kindergarten.Elvin had obviously hidden the bugging device in the doll to spy on Britney. Stephen didn't know how long it had been since Elvin had planted the device, what he'd heard, or what his intentions were for doing this. H
Before Yvonne could reply, Noah walked over to the table and sat down on a chair. It was clear that he felt comfortable and didn't consider himself an outsider at all. Hayden noticed Yvonne waving her away and left the office.In an instant, only the two of them were left in the office. "So what's the big business deal you want to talk about, Mr. Noah?" Yvonne asked with interest. Curling up the corner of his lips, Noah replied, "You'll get half of Anderson Group." Then, he calmly added, "Let me make things clear with you today, Ms. Miller. When I said that I wanted to pursue you back then, I was also drawn to your assets as well as your capabilities. I thought if we joined forces, it would be just a matter of time before we snatched Anderson Group from Stephen. However, it seems that I was wrong." He let out a self-deprecating laugh. "It had never occurred to me that you're such a wild person, Ms. Miller. My mother and I were really caught off guard that day." Yvonne narr
The phone screen showed a foreign transaction of ten million dollars. Noah’s brows raised slightly. "Who gave this money to you?""My dad!" Katie's eyes glittered with excitement. "Before he’d left, my dad told me that he wanted to go abroad to seek a chance for a comeback in his career. It hasn't been that long, and he’s already wired me such a huge amount of money. Do you think he’s made it?"Noah didn't say anything.Katie was extremely pumped up. "I knew my dad could do it. I wonder what he’s doing overseas that he can afford to transfer so much to me at once. Is he doing even better than Jones Jewels?" The money gave Katie a sense of security, as if she had support again. Hence, she couldn't wait to share the happy news with Noah. "Noah, I'll tell you about it once I figure out more about the situation. Maybe I can be of help to you too!" As soon as she finished speaking, a sneer formed on Noah's face. "Judging from Thomas' character, why wouldn’t he tell you about it
On the other hand, Yvonne was lying on the bed when she received a message from Stephen."What did Noah say to you today?" he asked.At first, she didn't want to reply to him. However, he sent her a series of three question marks after that."He said he wants to give me half of Anderson Group," she replied reluctantly. "You're not interested?" he asked. "Who wouldn’t be interested in money?" she typed back. Regardless, she simply despised Noah's way of doing things. "I can give it to you too," Stephen said.Just as Yvonne was about to criticize Stephen and Noah for being a disgrace to their family, Stephen added, "I'll give it to you after Anderson Group and Miller Jewels merge together. It so happens that Anderson Group doesn't have a jewelry business yet."Yvonne was at a loss for words. "What a great tactic. He doesn't want to suffer any losses," she thought.Afraid that she would get too worked up if she continued to chat with him, Yvonne decisively exited the messagi
The online community began heated discussions immediately. "Is Hope Health Services officially backing up Hopeful Faith now?""When something happened to Hopeful Faith back then, many people said that the platform had nothing to do with Hope Health Services. Look, now it looks like they’re closely connected!""Rumor has it that the real boss of Hope Health Services is an extremely talented miracle doctor who exclusively treats the cream of society." "All the famous medical experts have retweeted Hopeful Faith's post. Can't you see what strong support it has?" Of course, apart from praise, there were also skeptical voices. Many people still remembered how Hopeful Faith's users' data had been stolen. Regarding this matter, Turner Tech soon announced on their official Twitter account that Caleb would show up and not only give everyone an explanation but also explain in detail about the latest upgrades to the platform.They'd remained silent before, not out of a desire to shrug
