Stephen had said it very softly, and Yvonne couldn't catch it because she hadn't been paying attention. She asked casually, "What?" "Nothing," said Stephen, and he steered his Maybach into the traffic, ending the conversation. They didn't have time for dinner because the musical started early. Yvonne felt hungry after a whole day at work and wanted to buy some snacks on the way to the musical theater. However, the theater was located on water, and she couldn't spot a single convenience store until they were in the parking lot.One's mind failed to function normally when they were hungry. When Stephen held out his hand, Yvonne went blank until she heard him say, "Hold my hand." Only then did she belatedly put her hand in his. They went inside through the VIP entrance and missed the two people who came in through the ticket collection entrance.Ariel was in a bad mood, and Katie had brought her out to cheer her up. "Hasn't Mr. Anderson returned from his business trip? Have you made u

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Anderson. I'm the director of Rising Sun Group's Northerna headquarters, Peter Bowie.""A pleasure to meet you, Mr. Bowie." Stephen shook Peter's hand and introduced Yvonne at Peter's inquiring look. "This is Yvonne Miller, CEO of Miller Jewels." There was nothing wrong with the way he introduced her, but Yvonne felt an inexplicable sense of displeasure. She gave Stephen a look before nodding at Peter in acknowledgement. Peter smiled back and turned his gaze to Stephen, handing him a business card. "It's an honor for Rising Sun to work with Anderson Group. I've always wanted to find a chance to thank you personally. Would you have the time to give me this honor, Mr. Anderson?"Stephen took the name card and said, "You're being too humble. I would surely make time if you sent me an invitation.""That's great!" Peter laughed jovially and said, "Then let's meet this weekend. My friend owns a turf club. How about we hang out there?" He looked at Yvonne and said,

"What brings you here?" Peter asked as though he knew everything.Katie smiled and said, "I was the one who proposed the idea of Anderson Group's collaboration with Muguet, and you're in charge of entertaining Mr. Anderson today. How could I not tag along?"Peter knew what she meant by that. She could easily bypass him and meet with Mr. Anderson if she really wanted.He smiled, but it didn't reach his eyes. Then he asked, "Are you saying that I've been neglecting you?"Katie waved her hand hurriedly and replied, "Oh, I wouldn't dare!"As they chatted with each other, Stephen and Yvonne finished changing their clothes and came out of the room.Stephen was a good-looking man with a great body. His clothes were fitted to his physique and showed off his beautiful silhouette.Yvonne also looked stunning as she stood beside him. Her neat riding clothes made her look sharp and heroic.Katie's facial expression soured when she saw that Yvonne was also here. She thought, "What is this u

Dinner ended when Peter got extremely drunk.Katie was very embarrassed and couldn't bring herself to face Stephen, so she used the excuse of taking Peter home to escape from the dining table. She then arranged for the racetrack employees to take Peter away.Yvonne and Stephen were a good distance away from the racetrack, and Yvonne was driving. She could barely keep her hands stable on the steering wheel because she was trying to hold back her laughter whenever she recalled the devastated look on Katie's face.Stephen had consumed a bit of wine during dinner, so he sat in the passenger seat with a hand propped on his forehead. His eyes were half-open as he glanced at Yvonne from the corner of his eyes. His lips were parted slightly in a faint smile.He hadn't expected that this little trick would make Yvonne so happy.Although Stephen had seen many sides of Yvonne, this was the first time he'd seen her like this. As such, he thought it was quite a novel scene.For a moment, Step

Slowly, Ariel said, "I've promised Madam Elizabeth that I would drop by the suburban manor during Thanksgiving and spend some time with Old Mr. Anderson."Since Stephen was being so protective of Yvonne, Ariel was determined to pay her a visit and see what kind of person she was."Really?"Excitedly, Katie held Ariel's hand and said, "That's great, Ariel! Everyone knows that you're way more qualified to be Stephen's wife, you …"Ariel shook her head and said, "Don't say that. I still don't know what's going to happen for sure.""In any case, it's wonderful that you're willing to take that step!"Katie had forgotten whatever bad memories she'd had because of Yvonne. She was too busy being happy for Ariel.As long as Ariel could reclaim her rightful place by Stephen's side, she'd definitely make Yvonne pay for what she'd done.… Yvonne felt a shiver run down her spine the moment that she walked out of Cougar Coffees.She calculated that it would be two weeks before Thanksgivin
