The walls in the subsidized housing building weren't very good at keeping sound out. So the woman's cries quickly caught the attention of other residents on the floor.Julian went outside to warn the residents. "Everyone on this floor will get in trouble if even a word of today's event leaks out."The residents weren't sure what was happening. But after hearing such a serious warning, they quickly went back to their homes. They were afraid of getting caught up in whatever was going on.After everyone was gone, Yvonne and Stephen left together, ignoring the crying woman.Yvonne's lawyer and Julian stayed behind to handle the next steps. They planned to take legal action if the boy's mother started spreading rumors again.After getting into the elevator, Stephen asked Yvonne, "How is El doing?""He's not aware of the online rumors yet. I made up an excuse for him to stay home for a while."At the thought of Elvin, Yvonne's anger returned tenfold. She clenched her teeth. "If I had

Katie didn't even want to sit down. She placed a check on the table. "Take it and leave."The woman snickered. She looked at the number written on the check. "Mrs. Anderson, only a million dollars? Is Mr. Anderson only worth that much to you?"Katie slapped the table with one hand. She leaned in closer to the woman. "Stop haggling with me. In my eyes, all you women who flock around him are worthless. Don't delude yourself into thinking that you're priceless just because he's gotten into bed with you. You're nothing to him."The woman leaned back and asked, "Then why go through all the effort to meet me and pay me?""Fine. If you don't want to listen to me, I don't need to sit here and explain it to you. After all, he'll soon be sick of you. I'll go and find someone who's willing to talk."Then, Katie reached out and took the check.The woman stopped Katie frantically and smiled. "Mrs. Anderson, I was just joking. I'll take the money and leave."Katie said nothing. She let the

That night, Stephen got busy in the kitchen, while Yvonne helped out. She was in a rather good mood. She even hummed cheerfully while washing the vegetables.Stephen stopped what he was doing and turned to look at her. "You know about everything?""Yes." Yvonne waved the vegetables in her hand. She said with a smile, "You should be honored. A living saint is washing vegetables for you.""You don't blame me for not talking to you about it first?""Hmm, at first I did." Yvonne thought for a while."After all, I didn't want to get famous when I went to Taloria. I went over because you were there. Now that I think about it, I'm not as great as people make me out to be. I don't have so much compassion for the world."Yvonne leaned against the kitchen island, seeming a little troubled. "Conan made me look too great. I'll have to be even more discreet when I go out from now on."Stephen was amused. When he had discussed this with Conan, he hadn't thought as much about it as Yvonne wa

Stephen stood by the side. He saw the surprise in Yvonne's eyes. He followed her gaze. "Who is that?""You don't know Chuck Jensen?" Yvonne was surprised. She explained, "He's a partner in one of the largest international pharmaceutical companies. Or rather, I should say that he's the boss."The pharmaceutical company had been founded by Chuck and a few other foreigners. As the business had grown over the past few years, Chuck had played dirty and bought over the other partners' shares.Apparently, he had over 60% of the shares in his hands at that moment. This meant that he had the power to decide everything at the shareholders' meetings.A man like him who had conquered an international pharmaceutical company was a legend in the medical industry!Yvonne has long heard about him, but she had never met him in person. She had never thought that the first time she would meet him would be under such circumstances.She couldn't help but lament. "Mark sure is powerful. He even managed

Mark was in a dark green suit tonight. His usual air of hostility had faded a little, and he seemed more regal. With the rosary in his hand, he introduced them to each other. "This is Mr. Jensen of Well Spring Pharma. She is Yvonne Miller, the newest Principal of the Group. She handles all of the Group's medical and pharmaceutical businesses."Yvonne was secretly wondering what Mark's intentions were, but she smiled kindly. She reached her hand out to Chuck. "Mr. Jensen, your reputation precedes you. I have always wanted to find a chance to get to know you. Finally, we meet.""Ms. Miller, how kind of you. I have heard about you many times. I'm really delighted to be able to see you today." Then, Chuck lowered his head and kissed Yvonne's hand.Stephen's gaze darkened unpleasantly.Yvonne was caught off guard, too. She was in a daze before she gathered herself. "Have you always been abroad?""I grew up and studied abroad." Chuck smiled."Did I frighten you?"Yvonne retracted he
