Chapter 204 Yvonne settled into life at Bennett’s apartment. Bennett was rarely home, spending most of his time at the military base. Yvonne was familiar with the Cherry Bay apartment, and with Bullet and Helen for company, her days were comfortable and pleasant. Helen cooked a variety of delicious meals
Chapter 203 Because of her hospitalization, Yvonne had to take a break from filming. Unexpectedly, the first person from the cast to visit her was Thomas. “I only found out you were in the hospital when Ms. Jane mentioned it,” Thomas said, carrying flowers and get-well gifts. “It was just
Chapter 202 Yvonne was hospitalized with a high fever and remained unconscious for a full day and night. When she woke up, her mind was a complete blank. “Ms. Jones, you’re finally awake,” Helen said, her face lighting up with relief from her seat beside the bed. “What happened to
Chapter 201 The faint, metallic scent of blood hung in the air, and it was impossible to tell if it was hers or his. “Is it serious?” Bennett asked again. “I should… live,” Yvonne replied, her voice slightly hoarse and tinged with self- deprecation. Bennett said nothing more. He sat
Chapter 200 “I suggest you mind your own business, buddy,” the lead thug snarled, gesturing with his knife. “Or you’ll regret it p> Bennett stared at him, his dark eyes cold and menacing. The fight resumed. Bennett’s movements were powerful and precise. The thugs, even with their weapons, couldn’t get
Chapter 199 The hallway was a chaotic mess of shoving and shouting. Yvonne saw an elderly woman stumble and reached out to help her. The woman used Yvonne’s arm to steady herself, then pushed her aside and ran on. Yvonne staggered, nearly falling, but was caught by the same staff
Chapter 198 Thanks to Thomas’ massive influence, the buzz lingered for days. Yvonne kept her head down and focused on work. Fortunately, the film was heavy on action, with very few romantic scenes. One afternoon, during a break from filming, she got a call from Sandra. “They got Peter,” Sandra
Chapter 197 Joseph’s future was uncertain, and he would have to fend for himself. Later that evening, the family gathered. Jeffrey, exhausted from his shift, went straight to bed. Queena returned from her date with Oscar, glowing and proudly showing off a new diamond Cartier bracelet. She coyly announced they
Chapter 196 Yvonne and Thomas parted ways at the restaurant entrance. Instead of going back to the Spencer estate, she went to the hospital. Marina had been moved from the ICU to a regular room. The severe trauma from the accident had caused extensive brain damage, and she had been
Chapter 195 Well, that ruled her out. He couldn’t have been talking about her. Growing up, all they did was argue. Not interested in his past loves, she picked up her utensils and started eating. Thomas didn’t press the topic either, and they finished their meal in a comfortable silence.
Chapter 194 “We were on that reality show together, you remember. We’re not that close. We didn’t even have each other’s number until today,” Yvonne replied. The previous Yvonne had known Thomas well-they’d grown up together, constantly at odds. But this Yvonne’s only connection to him was that one show.
Chapter 193 The driver and assistant were taken to the hospital with the other injured parties, leaving Yvonne and Sandra stranded on the side of the road. One of the car’s headlights was smashed; it was undrivable. Sandra frowned, pulling out her phone. “I’ll have the company send another car.
Chapter 192 Bennett’s black SUV wasn’t the most luxurious car, but its military license plate was unmistakable. Yvonne didn’t answer, her lips pressed into a thin line. Queena, standing beside her mother, eyed the pale pink dress Yvonne was wearing. “Is that another one of Mr. Cooper’s designs? I’m so
Chapter 191 Bennett’s attention had already shifted to Bullet. “Bullet, let’s go p> The dog, however, didn’t move, staying right by Yvonne’s side. Bennett’s voice grew firmer. “Bullet p> The fur on Bullet’s back bristled. Reluctantly, he followed Bennett out the door. Mr. Cooper sat up in his chair, glancing
Chapter 190 Yvonne smiled, stroking Bullet’s big head. Mr. Cooper, still rocking in his chair, put his glasses back on and looked her over. “Yes, fits you well p> A full-length mirror stood opposite her, and in its reflection, she saw a young woman in a vintage-style dress, exuding an
Chapter 189 Hobart’s children were all abroad, so it was just the elderly couple and their longtime housekeeper living in the old house. When Yvonne arrived with a selection of homemade pastries, she found Mr. Cooper busy in his workshop. The space was modest, less than five hundred square feet,
Chapter 188 “Why are you bringing up outsiders in our home?” Teresa said, her tone growing impatient. “Go change your clothes p> “You’re dripping like a stray cat. What are you still standing here for?” George added irritably. “I need ten million,” Yvonne said, her eyes fixed on George, cold
Chapter 187 He reached his car and opened the passenger door, then glanced back. Not at her, but at Bullet. His gaze was deep and commanding, an order that couldn’t be disobeyed. Bullet hesitated, looking up at Yvonne with a soft bark, as if trying to explain. Then, he trotted
Chapter 186 Sandra squeezed her shoulder gently. “George is the one who killed them. Our job is to keep fighting until we bring him to justice p> Yvonne nodded, understanding. “I’m okay. It’s just… hard. Two lives, gone just like that.” She turned to Sandra. “You should go ahead. I
Chapter 185 Sandra nodded grimly. As hospital staff wheeled Lucien’s body away, the hallway fell quiet again. The light above the operating room door remained lit; Marina was still inside. “When the crash happened, Lucien held Marina in his arms, shielding her,” Sandra explained softly. “He was gone by the
