When Jade returned home and saw Jackson walking down the stairs, she sat down huffily and said, “Jackson, you won’t believe just how shameless Yvonne Yates is. We have all underestimated her in the past.” “Mom, you went to look for her?” Jackson frowned slightly. “I didn’t look for her. She suddenly got in touch with me this morning and demanded that I give her a hundred million dollars.” Jade was determined to twist the truth to slander Yvonne.“She got in touch with you? Why would she suddenly reach out for you all of a sudden?” Jackson asked. “Maybe because she was still unsatisfied with what happened in the past! She’s been living such a poor and unhappy life after the divorce. Perhaps she feels miserable now that your business has grown so much and you are getting engaged to Fiona. So she decided to extort me for money. She said that she would expose the truth about Fiona’s previous pregnancy and drag both of your reputations through the mud if we don’t give her the money.”
Thanks to Zachary’s help, her uncle found a kidney donor and had a successful surgery. Yvonne breathed with relief. She spent a few days by her uncle’s side in the hospital. Once her uncle was recovering, she kept her promise and returned to work at Zachary’s office. When Zachary saw Yvonne at work in her old-fashioned outfit, he looked at her from top to toe and said, “Yvonne, you are not doing yourself justice with those clothes! Such a waste! In the future, don’t dress in those old-fashioned clothes anymore. I will be in a better mood at work if you dress up better.” Just like before, Yvonne ignored his remarks. She proceeded to make Zachary his cup of tea before she began looking through his work schedule. Zachary narrowed his eyes as he sipped on his tea. Letting a long sigh, he said, “You make the best tea, Yvonne. Although it is just a few days of not seeing you, it feels like forever. I could barely work during those few days because I couldn’t see you.” In the past,
During the journey back, Jackson sat in the backseat with his eyes shut. He seemed to be resting his eyes, but only he knew that he was not resting at all. His thoughts were muddled. It had been three years. She had returned after disappearing for those three years. However, instead of bringing good surprises, she had only caused more trouble for him. Where had she disappeared to in those three years? Why was she together with Zachary Quimby now? He thought that she was with Yosef Turner for the past three years, but it seemed that things were a little different now. He could not help but recall that fateful day from three years ago. That morning, he had noticed the eerie silence in the house when he pushed the mansion’s doors open. After standing in the living room for a while, he walked up the stairs and entered the bedroom. The person he was expecting to see was not there. He guessed that she must have gone grocery shopping. So, he sat down by the bed and quietly waited for
After they finished their meal and returned to the office, Zachary asked Yvonne, “Have you picked out a present for Jackson Miller as I asked you to?” “No!” “How about this? You don’t have to pick out the present anymore. I already got someone else to get it. I want you to deliver it to him!” “You want me to deliver it to him?” Yvonne was shocked. “Yes, you’ll deliver it as I told you to!” Zachary sounded sure of himself, and Yvonne felt that she had been making a big fuss out of nothing. Why would she not obey Zachary’s orders when she was his assistant? Jackson had become a stranger to her for a long time now. All she had to do was pretend she was delivering a gift to a client, no big deal.When Felix delivered the present he bought to Yvonne, she immediately set out to Jackson’s company. The receptionist denied Yvonne access to Jackson’s office, stating that she needed to make an appointment before she could meet with the president. However, when Yvonne said she was del
Fiona was holding her bag in her arms when she stood at the door. She stared at what was happening inside in shock. Jackson did not seem the slightest bit shocked with her arrival and calmly turned and asked, “What are you doing here?” His voice was calm, but the look in his eyes was cold. Fiona shuddered when he saw how indifferent he looked. “I… I came…” When she saw that Jackson had pushed Yvonne up against the wall, Fiona would not continue her sentence, as if her words got stuck in her throat.She thought Jackson was flirting with some other woman in his office, but she did not expect the woman to be Yvonne. What was she doing in his office? When had they gotten in touch with each other? Her heart was racing. When Yvonne saw the shock in Fiona’s eyes, she laughed to herself as she pushed Jackson away and strode off. Although she was uncomfortable being pushed up against a wall by Jackson without her consent, she felt great that Fiona had witnessed it. Back then, Fiona
When she returned to Zachary’s office, he had a frustrated expression on his face as he sat in his office. He had thrown a tantrum earlier and files were scattered across the floor. Felix stood there in his office with his head lowered, not saying a word. Yvonne hurried to pick up the files and placed them in front of Zachary. When Zachary saw Yvonne, he wiped the frustration off his face and said, “Contact Commissioner Lance from the Department of City Development for a meeting!” “Yes, right away!” Yvonne immediately picked up the phone and called Commissioner Lance. After she hung up, she reported to Zachary, “President Quimby, Commissioner Lance has agreed for a meeting!” “He agreed? Haha, that old fox!” Zachary laughed. Commissioner Lance from the Department of City Development was said to be a tough nut to crack. Things would become much easier if they could get him on their side. Jackson Miller would also have thought of every possible way to win over Commissioner Lan
“Really? How shameful can that little b*tch get? If she’s not going to take the high way out, we might as well push her down to hell. Let’s embarrass her tonight!” Susan said as she laughed. “Mom, what are you planning to do? “You guys are planning to meet up with others tonight, right? If I recall correctly, Mr. Lance will be there as well, right?” “Yes.” “Mr. Lance is known for not being able to step away from pretty women. That little b*tch is so pretty, there’s no way he will let her go. You have to think of a way to get Mr. Lance to make a move on Yvonne.” Fiona’s eyes sparkled when she heard that Mr. Lance was known for being a playboy who slept with all kinds of women without regard or responsibility for anything afterward. Her mom’s experience was the most valuable advantage she has over Yvonne.Yvonne had no idea that the evil mother and daughter duo were getting ready to set her up that night. She entered a private booth in The Night Sky with Zachary and his band o
“I won’t let go! You look so gorgeous and tasty. Come with me tonight. I’ll take good care of you!” Mr. Lance began groping Yvonne as he spoke. Yvonne became angry as she dodged his hands and slapped him. “How dare you slap me?” Flames were in Mr. Lance’s eyes as he got slapped. “Such audacity. Do you know who I am?” “Why should I care who you are? F*ck off!” This time, she attracted the attention of the bodyguards Mr. Lance had brought along with him. “Mr. Lance! Are you alright?” Mr. Lance nursed his stinging cheek. There was no way that he would let this go. He pointed at Yvonne as he said, “Take this woman to my room!” “Mr. Lance, she isn’t the kind of woman that you think she is!” the bodyguard answered after glancing at Yvonne. “I don’t care what kind of woman she is. I’ve got my eyes set on her tonight. Hurry up and take her to my room!” The two men dared not say anything else against Mr. Lance and dragged Yvonne along with them. “Help!” was the only thing Yvonne m
