Thomas went to his study and returned with a box made out of redwood. He handed it over to Yvonne.Yvonne smiled and obediently said, "Thank you, Father."Thomas gritted his teeth. "No need to thank me. Just make sure you live happily with Mr. Anderson." In other words, once she took the gift, she should never return home again. Yvonne had no intention of following his wishes. This was only the start of her revenge. She said teasingly, "Don't worry, I'll bring Mr. Anderson home to visit both of you often."Thomas was so mad that his expression became stormy.In the car, Stephen stretched out his hand. "What did you get from your father?""It’s my late mother’s last masterpiece, a ruby necklace," Yvonne replied.She opened the box. A luxurious and extravagant ruby necklace, Treasured Love, was lying inside. It had finally returned to her after so many years! But when Yvonne remembered that her mother's love for Thomas had inspired the creation of this necklace, she slammed the b
At Anderson Mansion. Elizabeth was still emotional about what happened at Miller Villa. When she met Camille after returning home, she didn’t even greet her and stalked back to her own room instead. Camille followed after Elizabeth, asking curiously, "Mother, did Stephen really go to bring Yvonne back?" Elizabeth nodded in reply and exclaimed indignantly, "I really don't know what's wrong with Stephen. How could he take that ugly monster’s side?""It seems that Stephen's serious about this."Camille hid the disdain in her voice and put on the air of a cultured and virtuous lady. "Mother, I thought about this situation carefully after you left. This isn't necessarily a bad thing."Elizabeth couldn't understand it. "Not a bad thing? Our family’s reputation will be completely ruined! If the public found out that Stephen married an uneducated and ugly wife, it would be the joke of the town!""The reason you arranged a wife for Stephen was because you wanted him to have an heir, ri
Now that Yvonne knew of the woman's hypocrisy, she thought the smile on Camille’s face looked chilling. On the other hand, Stephen didn't react at all. He sat there quietly, waiting to see what tricks Yvonne had up her sleeve. The next second, a cry pierced everyone's ears. "What! How could you? How could you install surveillance cameras in someone’s bedroom? Isn’t this the work of a pervert?" Yvonne screamed, horrified at the sight of the maintenance worker climbing up the stairs, acting as if she'd just discovered that the cameras were installed in the bedroom ceiling. The loud scream shocked everyone present. The maintenance workers looked at each other and turned to Camille. Camille recovered from the surprise and said awkwardly, "It's all my fault. I forgot to tell you earlier. The surveillance cameras in the bedroom were installed after Stephen went blind, mainly for his safety.""What about... what about what happened on our wedding night? Did all of you see it?" Yvo
"No, it was her daughter, Kayla. It happened a long time ago, so there's no need to discuss it. By the way, what about the medication?" Yvonne didn’t want to talk about the scar, so she changed the subject.Stephen fell silent. "A doctor I trust prescribed it.""What makes you so sure that he wouldn't betray you?" Throughout the years, Yvonne had witnessed too many betrayals, making her despise the word "trust.""He wouldn't." Stephen was very certain. After all, Dr. Austin Parker had been his mother’s best friend before she passed away. For years, Dr. Austin had treated him well—better than his own father, Charles.That was why Stephen allowed Dr. Austin to take care of him after the accident and why he'd never suspected the medication. If it weren’t for Yvonne, he would've never thought that there was something wrong with it."Fine, I won’t argue with you," Yvonne said, spreading her hands. "If there is no problem with the doctor and the medication he prescribed, then it must be
He could see!Darkness was no longer the only thing he could see. Now he could detect a faint white light. Stephen’s eyes widened. He was drawn to the light like a moth to a flame. Although his vision was still blurry, it gave him a huge burst of confidence in his recovery. Excited, he stood up and walked toward the windows. Before Yvonne was able to warn him to be careful, he stumbled and fell down.Yvonne darted forward and asked, "Are you alright? Your eyesight hasn’t fully recovered yet. You can only see bright light at the moment."Stephen abruptly grabbed her hand tightly and asked desperately, "Tell me, when will I fully recover?" Under the sunlight, his usually indifferent face showed a trace of a smile for the first time.Yvonne was startled and drew her hand away. "I’m not sure, but if you cooperate, you’ll recover sooner or later.""Okay," Stephen agreed happily. He looked toward the window. He'd never loved sunlight as much as he did at this moment. After a while,
He quickly walked to Stephen without looking at Yvonne. "Sir, do you know what Ms. Miller looks like?"Julian didn't think Yvonne was ugly, but she looked rather scary. Yet Stephen seemed calm. "I know. There's an X-shaped scar on her left cheek.""Y-You knew?" Julian asked in shock. "Still, you—""I married her, didn't I?"Julian was speechless. Had Mr. Anderson also lost his mind in addition to his sight? He turned to Yvonne and asked, "What dirty tricks did you use to force Mr. Anderson into this?""Julian," Stephen said sharply. "It's been a while since you started working for me. Has that made you forget your place?""I—" Having spent years working for Stephen, Julian was familiar with his temper. Stephen detested hearing other people's opinions, especially regarding decisions he'd already made. However, Julian thought this situation was too ridiculous. Why did Mr. Anderson choose to marry a troll in the first place? Even so, he was aware that an assistant like him had no pl
Thomas and Monica found Yvonne sitting on the couch when they went downstairs.Yvonne heard Monica's sharp, harsh voice before she even saw her. "It's Mrs. Anderson, indeed. I thought the maid was senseless enough to mistake her for the wrong person."Yvonne remained expressionless. She sneered inwardly, thinking that the couple would be the ones wailing later. She waited until they sat down and said, "I just came to notify you of one thing." She took out her marriage certificate and placed it on the table. "Stephen and I got our marriage certificate. We're legally married now."Monica was shocked and took the marriage certificate to check. Stephen's and Yvonne's signatures were on the certificate, and it was stamped with an official seal. Didn't the Anderson family say they'd only have a trial marriage? Hadn't they been unwilling to acknowledge Yvonne as their daughter-in-law? How the hell did they still manage to get their marriage registered?Thomas frowned and congratulated Y
The air was thick with tension when Yvonne returned to Anderson Mansion.She looked around and saw Elizabeth sitting on the couch with a stern expression. A middle-aged man sat beside her, exuding power. Stephen was casually sitting on an armchair; his undignified manner looked out of place given the current atmosphere in the mansion.Yvonne was confused; she had no idea what was happening. She greeted them with a smile and asked, "Why is everyone in the living room?"Elizabeth banged the floor with her walking stick. "How dare you seduce Stephen and force him into marrying you?"Yvonne was stunned by the accusation. She couldn't understand why Elizabeth said she'd "seduced" Stephen.She looked inquiringly at Stephen, wanting to ask him what he'd said to Elizabeth. However, she quickly remembered that he was blind. Sighing, she decided to take the blame anyway. She looked at Elizabeth and said in a pitiful voice, "Grandma, if this is about the marriage certificate, Stephen's the o
