All Chapters of You Wed Your Past; I Wed My Future: Chapter 461 - Chapter 470

Stephanie was concerned to see Wynette in this state. Frowning, she said, "You need to take a break. Don't overexert yourself."She had been through it before and knew exactly how exhausting it was to deal with such a heavy workload for long periods of time."I can't!"Wynette seemed to have caught a second wind. She shot upright in her seat and declared, "I have to work hard. I have to grow stronger."She even pumped her fists to cheer herself on.Stephanie didn't know whether to be amused or worried. "So you're not tired anymore?""You don't get it." Wynette brushed it off. "It's torture, but it's torture that I'm enjoying."All Stephanie could do was have one of her subordinates dispatch some energy drinks and supplements to Wynette."By the way, have you heard? Gabriel Thorn went on a blind date today with the daughter of the Harding family."Even when she could only squeeze out a moment from her busy schedule, Wynette didn't forget to share some gossip with Stephanie."O

Stephanie was confused for a moment before belatedly realizing what she'd just said. The words had come out so naturally. Even though it was true, now that she thought about it, it did feel a little embarrassing to say.Yet the shameless Adrian was trying to cajole her into saying it again."I'm not doing that." Stephanie huffed. "I refuse to do as you say."Adrian chuckled and continued to coax her, "Say it one more time, please? It sounded like music to my ears.""Nope," Stephanie declared before ending the call.She even sent a huffing sticker to Adrian for good measure, to which he replied with a begging one—another one he'd stolen from her.Stephanie couldn't resist smiling. "Alright, it's time for bed.""Alas, if you don't grant me this wish, Stephanie, I won't be able to fall asleep tonight."His message left her speechless. Even though she couldn't see his face right now, she could picture it pretty well.If Adrian were standing in front of her, he would have a slightl

After Pierce left, Adrian called Stephanie, who answered almost instantly, her voice bright and cheerful. "Hey! Why are you calling at this hour? Miss me?"Adrian chuckled softly. "I miss you very much.""I miss you too," she replied with a giggle.After flirting with each other for a bit, Adrian asked, "Why didn't you tell me about what Aleysha did?""Hm?"Stephanie had to pause for a moment before she recalled the incident back at Whetman Group. Laughing, she said breezily, "I forgot all about it already."Frowning slightly, Adrian said, "If she made you unhappy, you don't need to just put up with it.""I'm fine, really," Stephanie assured him. "It did sound rather mystifying when she said it, and I did feel rather annoyed, but I got over it pretty quickly. She was probably just upset with Pierce about something and spoke without thinking."At the end of the day, she's Pierce's girlfriend. It was just a careless comment anyway, so I just brushed it off out of courtesy to him.

Since Franklin had also addressed Stephanie as Ms. Ford, Jerry immediately confirmed her identity and approached her with a grin—only for two bodyguards to hold him back.As if he hadn't noticed the coldness in Stephanie's eyes, Jerry flashed her an ingratiating smile and called out, "Hi, my dear niece. I'm your uncle—your mother's brother. Since it's our first time meeting. I even brought you a gift. Why don't you invite me in for a quick visit?"He pulled something out of his canvas bag. It was a classy-looking gift bag, its contents unknown. Nevertheless, just the bag alone looked completely out of place in his hands.Stephanie had no interest in his gift. She said coldly, "I don't have a maternal uncle."Jerry's expression darkened slightly. "What do you mean by that? I'm your mother's biological older brother, so of course I'm your uncle."We haven't seen each other before because the Ford family looked down on me and wouldn't allow me to keep in touch with you. That's why we

Jerry gnashed his teeth in fury. "How can she be so heartless? I bet she takes after her dad. If it really comes down to it, I'll go to the media and expose everything she did to me!""Enough!" Derek scoffed. "You really think those petty tricks of yours will work against a family like the Fords?"Besides, Jerry wasn't exactly a decent man, to begin with. How could he claim to be Stephanie's uncle when Daphne didn't even want to acknowledge him as her brother anyway?"T-Then what am I supposed to do? They beat me up, you know, so I'm not returning the money you gave me!" Jerry declared.He was worried they'd demand the money that was already in his pockets."Get lost," Derek said with a snort before bringing up the window without hesitation.Relieved, Jerry bolted as fast as he could.Inside the car, Derek turned around to look at the man in the back seat."That guy's useless, Mr. Grover," he said.Tyler's expression was dark as he read a message on his phone. Once he was done
