Chapter 399

Penulis: Maureen Green
"Mom!" Colin's voice carried worry as he carefully helped Ellie to the couch, only to find she'd lost consciousness and collapsed limply.

"Mom! Mom! Wake up!" Colin shook Ellie's body in panic, his voice filled with fear and helplessness.

Gwyneth was also frightened by the scene. She quickly took out her phone and called emergency services.

The ambulance arrived with sirens blaring. Colin and Gwyneth accompanied the paramedics as they took Ellie to the hospital.

After examination, the doctor told Colin that Ellie had suffered a brief fainting spell due to emotional excitement and high blood pressure. She needed to be hospitalized for observation and rest.

Colin's suspended heart relaxed somewhat, though he remained deeply worried. Gwyneth gently comforted him at his side, bringing coffee and water and showing him meticulous care.

"Colin, you've seen Madam Ellie's condition, and the doctor said it was caused by emotional agitation." Gwyneth softly advised, "Why don't you also list

    Yvonne hissed, "It's Aspen! Her name is Aspen Nicholls!"Hearing this name, Gwyneth's grip on the steering wheel tightened slightly. However, her expression instantly revealed extreme shock, and her eyes widened slightly. "A-Aspen Nicholls?"Her voice rose several octaves, filled with disbelief. "Ms. Stevens, are you talking about... Colin's ex-wife... Aspen?"Yvonne blinked at her reaction, briefly thrown off, but then something seemed to click. She lit up with recognition and leaned in, looking more animated than before. "Yes! That's her! You know her too?"Gwyneth's shocked expression quickly transformed into a complex mix of disgust, pain, and anger. She took a deep breath, as if trying to calm her emotions. Even so, her voice carried a barely perceptible tremor as she replied, "More than just know her..." She smiled bitterly, her eyes slightly reddening, perfectly displaying a touch of vulnerability. "Ms. Stevens, to be honest, I-I'm someone who's been hurt by her.""What?"

    Zac's intelligence was timely. After being completely rejected by Aren, Yvonne left the cafe in a daze, wandering aimlessly down the street.By early evening, dark clouds rolled in like it was scripted, and a torrential downpour suddenly broke loose. Rain pelted down in heavy sheets, and pedestrians scattered, umbrellas snapping open as they rushed for shelter. However, Yvonne seemed completely oblivious. Just then, a black Bentley slowly pulled up beside her, and the window rolled down to reveal Gwyneth's face, which showed just the right amount of concern. "Miss?" Gwyneth's voice was gentle, with a hint of uncertainty. Yvonne turned her head in a daze, rainwater streaming down her cheeks, making it impossible to tell if it was rain or tears. Gwyneth pushed open the car door, grabbed an umbrella, and quickly walked to Yvonne's side, tilting most of the umbrella over Yvonne's head."Why are you standing here in the rain all alone? Get in the car quickly. The rain's too heavy

    Zac whispered, "Colin, Yvonne hates Aspen with everything she's got. Think about it. The woman who was treated like a princess her whole life just got humiliated by the man she loves, all because of another woman. You really think she's going to let that slide?"Colin lifted his eyes and shot Zac a sharp look. "What exactly are you suggesting?""I'm saying the enemy of my enemy is a friend," Zac replied, his tone casual but calculated. "Yvonne's like a rabid lioness right now. If someone nudges her the right way, she'll go straight for Aspen's throat without thinking twice.""You're talking about using a woman who's completely blinded by heartbreak?" Colin's voice was unreadable. "That doesn't sound like your usual play."Zac raised a brow. "Different times call for different moves. When it comes to taking Aspen down, sometimes a volatile pawn is more useful than a rational one."He paused, then leaned in a little closer. "Besides, we don't even have to get our hands dirty. Gwen c

    "Yvonne, I need you to stop all of this immediately," Aren said, his tone calm but firm. "Stop trying to get close to Pen. Stop using other people to reach me, and stop showing up at Aetheris Group.""Aetheris Group?" Yvonne froze for a second. Then, her expression shifted, as if something had just clicked. Her face twisted with hurt, quickly followed by anger. "You're banning me from the company now? All because of her?""It's not because of her. It's because your behavior has crossed the line," Aren corrected. He said, "You came to the company under the pretense of visiting me, but you know what you actually did. I don't want my work or the person I love to be disturbed in any way because of your presence.""Disturbed?" Yvonne laughed bitterly, and she finally couldn't hold back her tears from rolling down her cheeks. "In your eyes, was all my affection over the years just a disturbance? Aren, how can you treat me like this? What about all the memories we share from growing up?

    "Eat more, you've lost weight." Aren said affectionately. Aspen looked at his gentle expression, feeling warmth in her heart as she picked up her utensils again. "You should eat more too." The two ate quietly, and the atmosphere was much more relaxed.Nonetheless, Aspen knew that the situation with Yvonne probably wouldn't end so easily. She needed to pull herself together, not just for the company, but also to protect her and Aren's precious relationship. After dinner, Aren caught the subtle sign of tension still lingering between her brows. It tugged at his heart.He knew that Yvonne was like a ticking time bomb that could go off at any moment and shatter the trust and peace he and Aspen had worked so hard to build. That kind of threat wasn't something he could ignore, and he had to deal with it for good.…The next day, Aren had Shane, his assistant, arrange a meeting with Yvonne. They chose a cafe he had almost never set foot in before and got a quiet private room tuc

    Aspen felt a warm rush in her chest as she listened to his words, knowing he was genuinely trying to protect her. Even so, she couldn't help but feel worried. She gripped his hand in return, her fingertips pressing slightly. After a pause, she said softly, "Aren, I trust you, and I know how you feel. But Yvonne..."She frowned slightly. "She's not someone who gives up easily, and in your circle... Well, you all grew up together, and she's familiar with your family and friends."Aspen was never one to pry, but she wasn't clueless about Aren's background. Even though he never flaunted it, she knew the kind of influence someone like Yvonne had as an old friend of the Jeffersons.Aren caught on to her worry right away. He assured her firmly, "Pen, none of that matters. What matters is my stance. My family and friends will respect my decision in the end. Grandfather has already come around, hasn't he?"Aspen nodded. Carlos' attitude toward her had indeed changed, giving her peace of m
