"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
After ending the call, Yvonne opened the calendar on her phone and added a reminder for Caleb's birthday this weekend.Since he was a good friend, she had to prepare a birthday present for him. She thought about it for a while and opened her browser. She started researching what would make great gifts for a person passionate about IT.On the other end, Rachel placed her phone down and looked at Caleb on the couch. She looked at him smugly with her chin up. "Do you want to thank your cute little sister?"Caleb gave her a glance. "In your dreams."Rachel snickered. "You only dare to be like this in front of me. You're still a coward when you see Yvonne. Look at you. You've been by her side for so long, yet she doesn't even remember your birthday. How important are you in her eyes?"Then, Rachel kicked Caleb. "Do you want my help?""Mind your business." Caleb stood up and ruffled her hair. "Just look after yourself."Rachel yelled, "Caleb! I'm helping you get a woman! Why are y
Seeing Stanley leave, Yvonne bent down to say to Elvin, "You see? It's a dangerous place here. A fight could happen at any time. Stay close to me."Elvin nodded and held Yvonne's hand tighter.Yvonne opened the door to see Rachel holding the microphone up high. She was singing to a crowd that was covering their ears.When Rachel sang, she only cared if the notes were high enough. She never cared about whether they were in tune or not.Although it was loud and unpleasant, it always made everyone bawl out laughing. This was her go-to method to liven up the mood.Yvonne led Elvin to Caleb. She handed him the gift they had wrapped. "Happy birthday."Caleb looked surprised. He accepted the gift with both hands. "I never thought that you would prepare a gift.""It's your birthday. A gift is necessary." Yvonne picked Elvin up and placed him on the couch. Elvin leaned closer to her and asked her seriously in her ear, "Mommy, can Aunt Rachel really survive in the entertainment indust
"I caught this jerk harassing Linda at her office." James thought back to how he'd seen Aston forcing Linda into a corner at Finspatial Securities. Getting angry all over again, he stepped on Aston."Let me tell you. Linda was there last time, so I couldn't do anything. Now that you have met me alone, consider yourself unlucky!"Seeing how he'd been stepped on, Aston couldn't speak. Still, he glared daggers at James.James laughed in fury. He took his foot away, bent down, and grabbed Aston by the collar. "Oh, you're not conceding? Come! I dare you to fight me!""Pfft!" Aston spat a mixture of saliva and blood on James' face and snarled, "Who the hell do you think you are? Linda, that bitch—"James sent another punch at Aston. A tooth flew out of Aston's mouth. He was in so much pain that he couldn't speak.James spoke through gritted teeth. "Let's see how you fare when Stephen gets here." Then, James signaled for the guards to tie Aston up.Half an hour later, Stephen entered
