As they left the hospital and got into the car, Ariel carefully called out, "Grandpa."Philip snapped out of his daze and looked at Ariel rather in bewilderment. "What is it?""Are you thinking about Yvonne?"Philip could see the worry in Ariel's eyes. He smiled pleasantly and said, "I was only surprised. I don't mean anything else. You don't have to worry.""But … she owns Hope Health Services. Then Grandma's sickness …""They are two different matters." Philip looked at Ariel benevolently. "This won't affect your marriage to Stephen."All this time, Ariel had been coming to Anderson Mansion quite often. Philip asked around and found that Ariel and Stephen had a terrible fight over the incident at the hotel.Philip had watched Ariel grow, so he knew her character well. She wasn't the type of person who would hurt someone.He suspected Stephen was using it as an excuse to call off the marriage so he could be with Yvonne.However, he also had to give it to Yvonne. She was indee
Three days later, the team for the national jewelry TV program came looking for Yvonne. Yvonne asked Nicole to deal with them and send her the details later.When Caleb entered Miller Jewels, he bumped into Nicole, who was sending the TV program team off.Caleb asked, "Who are they?""People from the Nation's Jewelry. They want Ms. Miller to go on their program.""Yvonne agreed to this?" Caleb asked.Nicole nodded. "Yes, since this program is related to jewelry, she said it could help Miller Jewels gain some traction."Caleb furrowed his brows. He said nothing more and went to look for Yvonne right away. He opened the door to her office and asked her directly, "Do you have some kind of plan or something?"Yvonne was working. She replied without looking up. "What plan?"Caleb walked closer to gain her attention. "First, you admitted that you're the boss at Hope. Now you're going on TV. Yvonne, this isn't something that you would normally do."Yvonne smiled and looked at Caleb
Philip turned around to signal his men to unload all the gifts from the car. They placed the gifts in a pile on the ground."I'm here to repay you on behalf of Linda and my wife, both of whom you saved back then." Philip looked at Yvonne. "Please accept these gifts. If it's not enough, you can ask for more."Yvonne took a look at the gifts. They were all branded jewelry. They clearly weren't cheap. How generous of Philip!However, Philip's tone was rather strange. He said he was here to repay her, so why did it sound like he was here to settle the score instead?Besides, why had Philip personally come to thank her on Linda's behalf?Before Yvonne could get her head around it, she heard him speak again."Once you accept these gifts, I hope that you will maintain your distance from Stephen in the future. No matter what, he's engaged to someone else."Now she finally understood. Philip was playing the role of the rich grandfather, using his money to force someone to stay away fro
"Mommy." Elvin's voice came from behind her.Yvonne came to her senses and turned around to look at him. "Honey, what is it?""When is Uncle Curtis coming back?""Hmm …" Yvonne pondered for a while. From his injuries, she deduced that he might not be back for the next two weeks.Yvonne could see that Elvin missed him a lot. She bent down and hugged her son."You're missing him, right? I'll ask Lloyd to take you to the hospital to see Uncle Curtis one day, okay?"Elvin asked curiously, "Why don't you take me?""Because I have many things to do." Yvonne patted Elvin's head. Without her realizing it, her thoughts strayed to Britney. That little girl did indeed look quite like Linda.Yvonne felt a sense of displeasure, but she quickly stopped herself from thinking any further. Even if Linda was Britney's mother, it had nothing to do with her.…After finalizing their collaboration with Miller Jewels, Nation's Jewelry worked quickly. Within the next two days, they announced th
Since Linda had seen Aston, she had been distracted for the next few days. That day, Suzy noticed how distracted Linda was at work. Hence, she invited Linda to head downstairs to buy some desserts for their colleagues as afternoon tea.Linda walked around and chose a cake shop, thinking of buying some cupcakes. She was just waiting for the staff to finish putting the cupcakes in a box when a hand hugged her around the waist all of a sudden.Linda jumped in fright. She immediately pushed the hand off of her. When she turned around, she saw Aston's sleazy smile."Linda, I thought you used to like me doing that to you? Didn't you say it was very romantic?"Linda was disgusted by his actions. "I was blind before. Don't bring the past up anymore! If you harass me again, I'll tell Ms. Solace about it!" She glared at him furiously."Oh?" Aston raised an eyebrow. "It looks like you were there at the office the other day after all. I thought you weren't there." He added, "By th
As per the invitation Yvonne had received, she headed to the meeting with Nation's Jewelry's program department.They were about to start shooting the next month. Everyone involved needed to discuss the script.When Yvonne arrived, everyone else was already waiting for her in the meeting room.Suddenly, Nicole excitedly tugged on her.Yvonne was confused. She turned to see Nicole looking at a man sitting at the conference table. It seemed as though there were sparkles in Nicole's eyes."Ms. Miller, your reputation precedes you. You're much more gorgeous than the photos online." Yvonne looked at him with an inquisitive gaze. Nicole immediately whispered in her ear, "Ms. Miller, that is Boaz Hayes, the hottest celebrity right now." Yvonne nodded, still remaining calm. She seemed to have heard of his name before. When Yvonne had been trending on the internet, Rachel had sent her a screenshot complaining that Yvonne had snatched her new husband away.Back then, Yvonne had tea
Yvonne recognized the woman. She was Ariel's manager, Jodie.Yvonne only spared one glance at Jodie before looking at the program department staff once more. "Can we change it?"The staff looked rather troubled. "Ms. Miller, you and Boaz are perfect for our script. If we change it, it will be a great loss to the entire program department."Before this, the program department had already had a meeting. They all voted for Yvonne to be paired with Boaz. Their fame aside, the two were quite a good match just based on their looks alone. At that moment, the program staff were naturally reluctant to change it at the last minute."Ms. Miller, I'll be honest with you. We have already cast every character for each episode. The shoot starts in less than two weeks. Changing this at the last minute is really an inconvenience. Could you just do us a favor?"The staff was just a young lady who looked like she had just started working. If things were to change, she would surely be scolded by
Jodie furrowed her brows. "Ariel, what's going on with you? What's there to be excited about?"Ariel grabbed Jodie's hand gleefully. "Think about it. What is Boaz's status right now? With his influence, do you think his fans would let a woman who wants to gain fame through him off the hook?"Jodie came to a realization. "You want to use him to go after Yvonne?"The entire entertainment industry knew that Boaz's fans were the craziest. Almost every female celebrity who had worked with Boaz and appeared with him on social media would be boycotted by his fans.As long as Ariel and Jodie instigated this, Yvonne would surely be boycotted to death!That made Jodie excited too. How had she not thought of this? All this while, she'd only been jealous of what Yvonne had!"Ariel, this is a great idea!" Jodie patted Ariel on the shoulder. "I'll go and leak the news about this. I'll find a few other trusted paparazzi to take some shots of Boaz and Yvonne."Ariel smiled. "Hmm, I have faith i
