Once Charles had obtained his mother's permission, he dragged Camille to the courtyard. "You heard what Mom said. Remember, you must do well this time. Do your best to let her see that you've really changed."Charles continued to advise his wife. "Camille, I know that you've been upset, but just listen to me this time, alright? You—""Yes, I know," Camille interjected softly. "I'll take good care of Stephen. If not for myself, I still have to do it for Conan's sake.""That's great!" Charles enveloped her in a brief hug. "I'll always stay by your side."Elizabeth happened to witness this scene from the second-floor balcony. She looked away with disdain in her eyes. Then she turned to look at Tabitha, who stood next to her. "Camille's staying over to take care of Stephen. I want you to be extra vigilant and always keep an eye on her."The latter nodded in response. "Don't worry, Old Mrs. Anderson."She then decided to ask the question, which had been puzzling her for some time. "Th

Curtis reported everything he'd heard to Yvonne right away.She happened to be in a meeting when she received the call. Yvonne ended the meeting immediately upon hearing the news. As she got up to leave the conference room, she instructed Curtis to keep Camille at the school.Although Yvonne did think Stephen was a jerk, she didn't want him dead. For some reason, whenever she entertained the idea of Stephen's life being in danger, she couldn't help but feel anxious. However, that sense of anxiety also made her feel inexplicably angry.With a deep frown on her face, Yvonne slammed her palm onto the car horn once, as if she were venting her emotions on it. She had yet to get divorced from Stephen, after all. There was no way she would allow herself to become a widow at such a young age.Yvonne sped all the way to the special school.Curtis was waiting for Yvonne outside the school gates. He quickly grabbed her wrist the moment he noticed her furiously entering the school grounds. He

Soon after Charles and Camille had left Oceania Villa, Stanley dropped by to visit Stephen.Stephen sat on his bed while gazing at the blue sky outside the window, clearly immersed in his own thoughts. He didn't even bother to glance at Ariel, who sat next to him. Ariel was hesitantly holding a glass of water for him. She'd noticed how cold and distant Stephen was toward her and didn't know what to say in order to break the silence.When she heard Stanley's footsteps approaching her, she turned around to look at him. Then she shot him a gentle smile. Stanley nodded his head at her as a form of acknowledgment before grabbing the glass of water from Ariel's hands. After that, he sat on the chair in front of Stephen and passed it to him."Have some water. No matter how long you stare at the sky, you can't magically wish for her to appear in front of you right now."Stephen glanced at his friend upon hearing his voice. His eyes were completely devoid of any light or hope, as though he'

Soon, Yvonne found out the answer to her question.After the winners were announced, the large screen started showcasing the design drafts that they had submitted. Yvonne's eyes darkened considerably when Kayla's draft came on the screen.Green agates and golden metallic threads were woven into a flower crown. The goldsmithing technique used to craft the piece of jewelry was very intricate. Little details were hidden in the design; if one were attentive enough to spot them, it showed the designer's crafty and brilliant mind.That draft lived rent-free inside Yvonne's mind. After all, it was one of Tara's designs that had never been publicized. A contemptuous smile curled on her lips at the realization. So, Tara's designs had indeed been in the Joneses' clutches this entire time.Yvonne remembered that despicable family burning those drafts right before her eyes years ago. Yet now, Kayla had used one of those very designs to participate in the competition. Every single detail was dr

The jewelry design competition was a highly anticipated event. Once the results of the preliminary round were announced, netizens began discussing them excitedly.Kayla's design was more delicate and intricate compared to the winning draft, which showcased a fancy design. Many of the netizens preferred Kayla's design. Hence, many netizens started encouraging Kayla to mass produce her design and release it on the market as soon as possible.Yvonne scanned the comments on the internet before shooting Andy a lazy look. He must have known that she would look for him right away because he hadn't dared to look her in the eye since he'd entered the study. Yvonne pushed the printed draft toward Andy before gently tapping a slender finger on it. "You can surprise the consumers by decorating this section with micro-paves. Also, there's no need to decorate this part with blue gems."She pointed out all the flaws in the design in a relaxed manner. Yet each time her finger moved to a new spot
