Chapter 104 For days, Queena had refused to leave her room, doing nothing but cry, which left George and Teresa heartbroken. The moment Yvonne walked through the door, she saw George in the living room, his eyes blazing with fury. “You worthless girl! You finally decided to show your face!”
Chapter 103 Unlike the quiet ride to the border, the return trip was filled with conversation. Simon was exceptionally talkative. As he drove, he chatted nonstop. “With Mark in custody, our mission in Vexel is finally over. We can head back to Istra with peace of mind. And really, it’s
Chapter 102 “Of these four men, can you identify which one is Mark?” the officer asked. “The second from the right,” Yvonne said, her eyes fixed on the men through the glass. Content orıginally comes from “Are you certain p> “Positive,” she confirmed. “And the man on the far left
Chapter 101 The bus ride stretched on, seemingly without end, and Yvonne had drifted off to sleep, her head resting on his shoulder. When she finally stirred, the view outside the window took her breath away: a panorama of snow-capped mountains stretched to the horizon, a sliver of a crescent
Chapter 100 Yvonne really wanted to follow her doctor’s orders—no stress, no fighting. But Jeffrey was begging for a beating. She was about to kick him into next week when a tall, imposing figure stepped between them. With effortless ease, Bennett broke Jeffrey’s grip on her arm. Jeffrey stumbled, catching
Chapter 99 Yvonne finished her speech and gave a deep bow. The room erupted in thunderous applause. As she stepped off the stage, Sandra met her and handed her a phone. Yvonne saw dozens of missed calls, mostly from George, followed by Teresa and Jeffrey. The ceremony had been live-streamed;
Chapter 98 A few days after her scar removal surgery, as Yvonne was nearly recovered, Matthew finally made an appearance. He didn’t ask about her health or offer a single word of concern. Instead, he tossed a document onto her bed. “I had my lawyer draw up a new agreement.
Chapter 97 “If you feel so strongly, go pay him a visit at his home,” Yvonne replied coolly. “Oh, we don’t need to be so formal. When is he coming to the hospital? I could thank him in person then,” Queena said. The Thompson family was in a league of
Chapter 96 It was final exams again. She was sitting at her desk, staring at a difficult problem, debating which method to use. A classmate who had a crush on her saw her struggling and, in a misguided attempt to help, passed her a note. She was caught and accused
Chapter 95 “Daisy lost her balance and fell,” Yvonne said calmly, already at the front of the room. She placed her completed exam on the proctor’s desk. “Professor, I’m finished p> “You’re done? Fine, get out of here,” he said, waving her away dismissively. Yvonne stepped out of the classroom
Chapter 94 The proctor bent down, picked up the wad of paper, and reached for Yvonne’s exam. “Cheating in an exam is a serious offense. You’re done here. Get out p> Yvonne pressed her hand firmly on her paper. “Professor, I did not cheat. You can’t fail me based on
Chapter 93 “Almost five years now,” Helen replied. “When the master first hired me, it was mainly to look after Bullet. He belonged to his late ex-girlfriend. I heard that after she passed, her parents were so grief-stricken they both fell ill, so he took the dog in. “When Bullet
Chapter 92 “Bullet!” Yvonne exclaimed, wrapping her arms around him and leading him into her room for a tight hug. “I’ve missed you so much. Did you miss me p> He let out two soft barks in response. Stroking his large head, she whispered, “How have you been all these
Chapter 91 “Are you done?” Yvonne asked, unwilling to waste another second on him before hanging up. She tossed the phone onto the coffee table and looked up to find Bennett’s dark, unreadable eyes on her. She hadn’t used the speakerphone, so he shouldn’t have heard anything, but she felt
Chapter 90 The banquet hall was bustling, and the commotion drew immediate attention. A wave of murmurs, whispers, and outright laughter swept through the crowd. “Am I seeing things? Is that a lacy thong p> “Who would’ve thought? Queena always acts like such a prim and proper lady, but she’s
Chapter 89 Queena, who had bought her way into the film, was dressed in a designer cocktail dress from the latest season. She clung to Mr. Turner’s side throughout the promotional events, soaking up the spotlight. Yvonne, still a newcomer, kept a low profile. She wore high-waisted jeans, a white
Chapter 88 “Yvonne… how does she know Mr. Bennett Thompson?” Jeffrey was the first to speak, his voice filled with confusion. “My sister made a new friend and didn’t even tell Mom and Dad. Does she not consider us her family?” Queena murmured, her eyes downcast and filled with sorrow.
Chapter 87 “What’s so funny?” George’s face darkened at her lack of immediate compliance. Yvonne set down her silverware. The smell of seafood was overpowering, but the non-seafood options were actually quite good. It was a shame the Spencers had no intention of letting her eat in peace. “I’m laughing
Chapter 86 Yvonne fell silent, turning her gaze back to the window. The passing scenery now seemed strangely blurred. The car finally pulled up outside the Spencer family’s villa. Bennett and Yvonne got out. He leaned against the car door, his back straight, and lit a cigarette with a cool
