Xoan pinned her down, his gaze burning with fiery passion."Xoan..."As Xoan's pressed his mouth to hers, the rest of Yaslyn's words were forced back down her throat.He went deeper and deeper with each touch, even slipping his tongue into her mouth.Yaslyn knew it was the drug taking effect. She quickly bit his tongue, forcing him to regain awareness. When he pulled away, she flipped him over and pinned him to the floor. She slapped him unconscious with one strike."So much trouble."Yaslyn stood up and irritably kicked Xoan."Taking advantage of me when not in your right mind, huh?"Calling an ambulance would attract too much attention. Yaslyn could only call the Warren family's bodyguards to take Xoan away.When Xoan opened his eyes again, the first thing he saw was the expressionless Yaslyn beside him. Confused, he asked, "Did you stay by my side taking care of me the whole night?"Yaslyn did not answer his question, instead sarcastically jeering, "Not very vigilant, are
Seeing the growing uproar severely impacting the new song's listenership, Henry realized the gravity of the situation. He went to the Warren Group to discuss countermeasures with Yaslyn.Yaslyn was in the office discussing the company's next steps of cooperation with Xoan. Hearing the news, she merely raised her brows and laughed."So, they're saying that I imitated Natalie?"Henry frowned when he saw her reaction. "Yaslyn, this is quite serious."Yaslyn remained composed. Xoan suddenly had a bold idea when he saw her reaction, but he did not speak up. He stared at Yaslyn thoughtfully, waiting for her next move.Yaslyn gave him a reassuring smile. "Don't worry, Henry. I'll handle this. It definitely won't affect the release of your new song.""Alright."For some reason, Henry inexplicably placed great trust in her upon seeing her calm composure.Zaylee also knocked on the office door. Seeing everyone there, she could not help but ask, "I heard there are some issues with Henry's
Yaslyn calmly burst his bubble. "That girl is me."Marcus jumped out of his seat. "I don't believe you!"Yaslyn shrugged. "It's your choice."Marcus snorted coldly. "If it's really you, come with us tomorrow and show me how capable you are. Don't embarrass yourself by not even being able to fit in the race car."Yaslyn had no intention of letting him off so easily. "What if I'm the person you mentioned?""If you really are her, I'll never call you a country bumpkin again."Yaslyn smiled and added, "I want you to address me as Ms. Lyon."Marcus was confident of winning. "Deal! If you're not her, I want you to leave the Warren family!""It's a deal."Marcus woke Yaslyn up the next day and brought Xoan and her to San Jose Valley.Marcus loved racing the most, and he especially admired Xoan's superb skills until that mysterious woman broke Xoan's record. He began fantasizing about her looks.Yaslyn changed into a bright and vibrant red racing suit.Xoan's suit was also red. Sta
It was Marcus's birthday. The Warren family had also invited Zaylee.When Marcus opened Zaylee's gift, he suddenly exclaimed in surprise, "This racing suit is so cool! You shouldn't have spent so much on it. Thank you, Zaylee!"Zaylee smiled. "Don't mention it. It wasn't very expensive."She looked proudly at Yaslyn.When it was time to open Yaslyn's gift, it was just a small box."Yaslyn, shouldn't you have prepared something?" Zaylee asked with a look of awkwardness.Marcus opened the gift wrap, and inside was a car key."This is my favorite car! There's only one in the world! Ms. Lyon, how'd you get this?"Marcus was overjoyed. For him, it was the best birthday gift ever!Looking at the racing suit, Zaylee suddenly felt that her gift was the shabby one.Zaylee was so ashamed that she hung her head. She could only glare furiously at Yaslyn.Xoan's gift was the grand finale. Marcus was even more curious about his gift. Inside the square box was an asset transfer agreement.
Xoan stood in front of Yaslyn and smirked at Mr. Linton. "We're the Warren Group. We don't need you either.""We'll see about that!" Mr. Linton barked, glaring fiercely at Xoan before leaving.Yaslyn had not expected Xoan to suddenly stand up for her. "Xoan, did you defend me earlier?"Xoan looked at her grin and felt a stir in his heart, but he quickly looked away. "I won't stand by and watch my employee be taken advantage of."Knowing his aloof personality, Yaslyn did not tease him further."What should we do about the company now? The Linton Group refused to cooperate, and it seems we're about to run into some big trouble this time.""I already have a contingency plan in place. They can't hurt us," Xoan replied.Yaslyn was curious. "What's the plan?""I've decided to partner with a foreign company. It might cost more, but we have enough funds for it," Xoan explained."Why not collaborate with the Lukesh Company?" Yaslyn asked."They've always been secretive. They only coop
The woman's face instantly turned pale. "I..."Yaslyn still smiled, looking calm and composed. "I hope the next time you make accusations, you'll have the evidence to support your claims."The reporters excitedly snapped photos. The famous jewelry designer, Angel, was actually Yaslyn.It was just as explosive as the plagiarism allegations!Yaslyn addressed the reporters. "This jewelry collection is a couple set. The piece for men, 'Destiny's Embrace', symbolizes love at first sight, while the piece for women, 'First Love', represents enduring affection."The press conference ended perfectly. That night, the website again announced that the jewelry had sold out.On Twitter, netizens started wailing."Why did I hesitate? I should've bought them when I had the chance!""I want it too. Please officially release this!"Even Xoan was surprised after seeing the news.He had not expected Yaslyn to be Angel. She was both Natalie and Angel.Yaslyn really was inscrutable.They got hom
Yaslyn released all the evidence online.The news spread and the internet erupted into chaos. All of Zaylee's misdeeds were confirmed. The Ford Group heiress Zaylee's repeated failed attempts to frame Yaslyn became the biggest news of the year.The Ford Group's stocks plunged.Zaylee had thought it was just Yaslyn's suspicions. She did not expect Yaslyn to have concrete evidence.Her image that she had painstakingly crafted was instantly destroyed. She could face legal consequences for what she did."Zaylee, I never imagined you'd be this kind of person..."Sophie was the most shocked. She had not imagined that the Zaylee she had watched grow up could be so vicious.Seeing Zaylee's ashen face, Yaslyn laughed. "The schemes in San Jose Valley, spreading false rumors online to smear me for plagiarism… Zaylee, aren't you ashamed after doing so much?"Zaylee knew she could not explain her way out of it any longer. She could only cry and plead, "I'm sorry. I was misled, and friends t
The leader glared at them and slowly said, "Ms. Ford told us to play with her as much as we want without killing her. We'll have fun with such a pretty doll, of course…"The men burst into laughter.Yaslyn had not expected Zaylee to defile her that way, tormenting her to live a fate worse than death.Yaslyn glared at the men in front of her and chuckled. "Do you know who I am?"One man leered lewdly. "Of course. You're our little darling. Our big brother will take good care of you later..."The other man was a bit more knowledgeable. "Yaslyn, fiancée of the Warren family, also a singer... I wonder if she'll sound even better when she screams later?"Yaslyn frowned. "You dare touch the Warren family's fiancée? Aren't you afraid they'll come after you?"The man shook his head and laughed helplessly. "You're just an outsider to them, Ms. Lyon. If your reputation is ruined, your engagement will just be called off, at the very least. Just have fun with us later, and don't overthink i
