All Chapters of Kicking Him to the Curb: Chapter 801 - Chapter 810

As Aspen and Aren walked side by side down the corridor, the sunset streamed through the glass windows, casting long shadows of their figures across the carpet."Mr. Caldwell's push into the new energy sector is hitting harder than we expected," Aspen said, her voice tinged with fatigue, though her tone remained steady.Aren glanced at her, concern written all over his face. "You've been working so hard, Pen.""I'm fine," Aspen replied with a shake of her head. "But I can't help but worry that Yvonne won't back off anytime soon."...True to Aspen's words, Yvonne hadn't let up after the family dinner. She appeared at Jefferson Manor almost every day.That afternoon, she brought a limited-edition silk scarf as a gift for Aren's mother, Bethany Walsh. "Mrs. Jefferson, I specifically asked a friend to bring this back from Fraince. I noticed the color of the one you wore last time looked really good on you, so you can alternate between them," Yvonne said gently with a sweet smile.

After hanging up, Aren tossed his phone onto the couch and walked to the window. The city lights reflected in his dark eyes. He understood Yvonne's intentions all too well. However, he'd already made his feelings crystal clear, and no one could shake his resolve. ...In the afternoon a few days later, Aren stepped out of the Aetheris Group building, planning to drive over and pick Aspen up from work. Just as he reached the parking lot, a pink Maserati pulled up beside him. The window rolled down, revealing Yvonne's perfectly made-up face."Aren! What a coincidence!" she said brightly, her expression glowing with surprise as if the encounter was truly unplanned. "Did you just get off work too?"Aren didn't stop walking and only nodded out of courtesy. "Yeah." "Where are you headed? Need a ride?" Yvonne offered eagerly, her eyes sparkling as she looked at him."No need. I've got my car," Aren replied, pointing toward his own vehicle not far away."Oh, right! Silly me!" Yvon

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

"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?

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
