Despite her usual soft-spoken nature, Renee was bristling like a porcupine as she shot Yvie a glare and strode past her.As she reached the front desk, the front desk receptionist smiled at her, clearly familiar with her face now. "You can head upstairs, Ms. Whitley. Mr. Zeller is waiting for you."Renee nodded and walked toward the elevator.While she waited, she turned to look at Yvie, who was busy on a call in the lobby.The painful memories that flooded her mind left her fuming just then.Ding!The elevator doors opened, and Renee entered, with Yvie doing the same just as she turned.She shot Yvie a pointed glare but said nothing.She pulled out her phone after pressing the button for the top floor.Every moment she spent with Yvie reminded Renee of her late father, whom she resented along with Yvie. Never could she have expected that she would run into Yvie again in Harborview City after so many years.Still, as the elevator ascended, Renee noticed that Yvie never move

Renee's hand slipped for some reason and dropped the contract on the floor.As she scrambled to pick it up, she instead hit her head on the corner of the table and gasped in pain. "Ow…"Massaging her head as she picked up the contract, she straightened the papers before putting it in front of Jasper. "The agreement, Mr. Zeller. Please take a look."Through it all, Jasper was watching her calmly, seeing how the unflappable woman was blushing just because of something he said and embarrassing herself very much.It was true what they said—people got busy once they felt embarrassed.He held back a smile as he took the contract and read it, and then sent it to Legal for further review, only signing it once he was sure there was no issue.Watching as the contract was about to be signed, Renee could barely contain her excitement, and she imagined how bright Genome Tech's future was now.Never could she have expected that Jasper would suddenly pause and look up at her. "I will sign this

And that was the story of how Renee had learned to cook so well.However, while she thought Yvie was unaware, the reality was that Yvie had always known.Still, the elevator arrived with a jingle amid her recollection.Renee strode in as soon as it opened and pressed the button to go down, but Yvie held the door open. "I know about you and Adam Graham, and that the Spencers' heiress is trying her damndest to kill you. I know you've never called me Mom, but you're still half a daughter to me. You can be sure that I'll make both the Spencers and the Grahams pay."With those words, she smiled tenderly as she reached out and pat Renee's head. "My dear Yvie has grown up to be such a fine woman. I can't let anyone bully her, right?"And with those words, Yvie took a step back, and the elevators closed.Renee looked up at her until the doors closed, feeling a mess of different emotions as she reached up and touched where Yvie patted her head.She used to be so sick of Yvie.But for so

Renee was never one for gossip, but they were talking about Yvie, so she couldn't help asking, "I met her today when I went to Everest Group's office… your brother's close to her, isn't he?""Well, of course they are!" Alison nodded. "You have no idea how amazing Yvie is—she's like my idol, the perfect image of a goddess. It's not just Jasper, you know! My parents like her too and were planning to adopt her as a goddaugther..."As soon as Yvie was mentioned, Alison went on rambling endlessly about her admiration and worship toward Yvie.Renee knew that Yvie is a successful woman in her own right, but she was surprised that Yvie would earn the admiration of every Zeller in just a few years.Yvie was certainly… formidable.Knock, knock.Freya knocked on the door just then and entered. "Ms. Whitley, there's a situation. What happened this morning is now trending…""Oh, you mean Kayla the menace crashing her car into you guys?" Alison finally remembered with a start.After Renee se

Adam held a palm over his chest to still his racing heart before reaching down to pick up his phone.Kayla opened the glass door just then, asking, "Why are you so nervous, Adam? Did you do something that you shouldn't be doing?"Adam paused just as he picked up his phone, but he had an idea. "N-Nope.""Really?" Kayla snorted as she went over to sit on the gray bed, her fair fingers brushing against the soft sheets as she sighed. "You were so passionate, ravaging me for hours right here… We even moved to the dressing table, and you said you liked looking in the mirror while we did it—that's it's exciting as it's crazy. And you're the one who said Renee is too cagey for such daring stuff…"As she trailed off, her melodious voice suddenly turned cool as she suddenly leveled her sharp bright gaze at Adam. "You said you liked Renee's personality and her body, but it's always just one position ever since you got together with her. That you were bored! That I got you interested again, th
