Chapter 291

Thinking about what Evan had just said, Joanne suddenly felt a lot less confident. Adrian had made it abundantly clear he had no interest in her at all. Would it be better for her to just…But she quickly bit her lip. She absolutely couldn't give up. This was her chance to become the future matriarch of the Hawke family. If she gave up now, she'd regret it for the rest of her life.So what if Adrian had a fiancee? After all, with Hector running interference, there was no guarantee they would end up together.Judging by how foul Adrian's mood seemed to be, he probably had an argument with his fiancee. It was always flattering to men when women did the chasing. All she had to do was hang in there for a little longer. With Hector's help, there was a chance things would work out in her favor.…After leaving the company, Stephanie didn't go home. Instead, she went to see Wynette.A few years back, Wynette had bought several properties. She would pick one at random to stay at when she

Chapter 292

"Well…" Wynette scratched her head. "Maybe you two just see it differently. He probably wants to shield you from all the problems and obstacles so you don't get hurt, but you want to stand by him and face those storms together. Honestly, I don't think either of you is really wrong."She paused for a moment before saying, "It's just that you didn't communicate your thoughts and feelings properly.""But I really didn't doubt him at all," Stephanie insisted, her voice sounding more choked now.Earlier today, she seemed unusually calm and collected at the office, completing her work without any issues. But now that she was with Wynette, she couldn't help but reveal her vulnerable side."Sure, but he misunderstood you," Wynette said with a sigh. "That's why it's important to communicate properly. Since you two love each other, why don't you just talk to him and clarify the situation? Why must you choose to sit here and feel all upset instead?" Stephanie wiped her eyes and said nothing

Chapter 293

Wynette's eyes dimmed a little after what she'd said. She used to make pasta for Keith, of course. She would always feel extremely happy when she saw the way he'd finished everything, even the sauce.But now, she no longer wanted to cook for him.The two women headed to the dining table, each holding a plate of pasta. Stephanie felt a little better after the food entered her belly and warmed her up a bit.She picked up her phone, only to see that there were still no messages from Adrian. She decided to forget about it. Perhaps it would be better if they both had a chance to cool off for the night.After having polished off a plate of pasta and plenty of other snacks, Wynette slumped in her seat, too reluctant to move.Upon recalling something, she shot Stephanie a meaningful look and said, "By the way, have you heard? An area over at Triumph District is most likely going to be gazetted for redevelopment.""Really?" Stephanie immediately jumped into work mode."It's not confirmed

"Passing by?" Wynette sneered. "Where were you going that you just happened to 'pass by' here? Were you visiting your mistress and the products of your affair?"Keith frowned, a flicker of displeasure crossing his eyes. "Wynette, I don't think this is something we should discuss.""Why not? You had the balls to do it, but you're too chicken to let anyone else talk about it?" Wynette gritted her teeth. "From what I know, your eldest son is only three months younger than me. That means you were already cheating while Mom was pregnant!"Keith quickly glanced around, exhaling in relief once he confirmed that no one else was around. "Must you insist on telling the whole world about it?""Why didn't you think of that when you cheated, huh?"Stephanie noticed how worked up Wynette was getting. She was about to get up when Keith forcefully marched in.He froze for a moment when he saw Stephanie. Mustering a forced smile, he said, "Oh. You're here, Stephanie.""Mr. Sweeney," she said cur

Chapter 295

Wynette always felt pleased to see how happy Keith was after he got her gift. She would also prepare him a plate of pasta herself. This had been their routine ever since she learned how to make pasta.As it was, she'd already prepared Keith's birthday gift ages ago. However, the day the gift arrived was also the same day she and Lily found out that Keith had a mistress and two illegitimate sons.Everything felt like a mockery after that. She no longer wanted to celebrate Keith's birthday.Stephanie came over and gently patted her on the back. "If you want to cry, just let it out.""What's going on now…" Wynette sniffled, her voice breaking. "I was supposed to be comforting you tonight, so why are you the one comforting me instead? This doesn't make sense."Stephanie didn't expect Wynette to still be thinking about that. Smiling ruefully, she said, "We can just comfort each other. Remember back in middle school, when we got so caught up in having fun that we didn't go home at all a

Chapter 296

Kiara knew that Norman didn't complete the task she had entrusted to him. But knowing that man, even if he failed to complete it, he'd still find a way to get in contact with her despite being unable to protect himself.But now, Kiara couldn't get in contact with Norman, nor did he find the initiative to reach out to her.There could only be one possibility. Norman couldn't get in contact with her at all.Could he be dead? No, there was also a chance that he was in prison!Kiara knew that Norman's company had participated in many illegal activities. In any case, she realized that she couldn't rely on Norman at all.Then what was the point of her traveling to Angloria? Was she supposed to suffer with the bit of money Tyler and Martha gave her?"I don't wanna go to Angloria!" Kiara burst out in loud sobs, having broken down emotionally. "Mom, please! I'm begging you! Please don't cast me out! I'll just stay obedient to you from now on, okay? I'm not going to Hydroton anymore, nor w

Chapter 297

"The performing arts troupe? Why do you want to join it?" Jonathan asked casually."Tyler is unreliable. I need to carve out a path for myself at the end of the day, don't I?" Kiara smiled. "What if I end up becoming famous after joining the troupe?"Jonathan chortled at her words, though he was too lazy to say anything else. It was an easy task for him, anyway."Alright. I'll arrange a position for you there.""Thank you, Mr. Thorn!""No need to thank me. Just remember, stay in your lane and stop thinking up nasty ideas." Jonathan's tone carried a hint of warning."What are you talking about? As if I would—""You know very well what I'm talking about."Kiara clenched her fists, her expression growing dark.Of course she knew that Jonathan was warning her not to provoke Stephanie. Just what sort of spell did Stephanie put Jonathan under? Why was he being so protective of her after returning from the trip to Angloria?"I never knew you were this interested in becoming a guar

Chapter 298

"Seriously, Dad, I'm fine," Stephanie quickly said. "I think I look a little tired because I just woke up from a nap."She really didn't want to show that she was affected, but why was it that everyone could tell that she wasn't looking good at all?Was the cold war with Adrian really affecting her that much?"Are you still unhappy because of what happened with Adrian's grandfather?" Owen asked worriedly.Stephanie shook her head while smiling. "I'm going back to my office now, Dad."After that, she got up to leave.As Owen watched Stephanie's silhouette walk away, his expression slowly darkened. Of course, he wasn't mad at Stephanie; he was mad at the Hawkes.Stephanie had finally managed to rid herself of a painful relationship, yet now, she had to suffer again because of her relationship with Adrian.He didn't want to interfere with Stephanie's relationship at first, for he didn't want her to feel even sadder. But now that he thought about it, didn't he have this approach

Chapter 299

The caller ID showed an unknown number, not Adrian's.Stephanie's eyes dimmed slightly. At the same time, she looked down on herself for being such a pathetic loser.Her phone was still ringing, which meant it could be a phone call from a business partner. Stephanie quickly recomposed herself before answering the call."Hello."The call had already gone through, but the caller didn't say anything.Stephanie frowned slightly. She checked her phone to make sure that it was still working fine."Hello?"Suddenly, light chuckles came from the other end of the line, followed by a hoarse masculine voice."Steph… I finally get to hear your voice again."Disgust crawled down Stephanie's spine. Tyler was the one on the other end of the line, it seemed.She already blocked all of Tyler's numbers that she knew and remembered, only for him to harass her with a new number."Get lost," Stephanie spat out before getting ready to end the call.But Tyler suddenly spoke up. "You must be in a

Chapter 300

Stephanie closed her eyes and cleared her mind. Then, she began recalling everything that had happened recently.It seemed that the biggest fishy thing she could remember was the way Hector objected to her and Adrian dating. But what sort of relationship could the Suttons have with Tyler?With a frown on her face, Stephanie started recalling the details.When she was still dating Tyler, he never mentioned anything about knowing the Suttons. The Suttons were affiliated with the Hawkes via marriage, and they were a powerhouse to be reckoned with as well.If Tyler truly was affiliated with the Suttons, why did he never bring it up before? Also, why didn't he seek the Suttons out for help before?Besides, Hector was Adrian's maternal grandfather. He also never mentioned anything about the Suttons being affiliated with the Grovers. That was why she never thought about this angle.But just now, Tyler was being weirdly confident. The way Hector was strongly against Stephanie and Adrian'
