Yvonne hissed through gritted teeth, "That's right! She's totally faking it! I bet she acts all innocent and pitiful in front of Aren! I won't let her get away with this!"Gwyneth casually reached out and placed her hand over Yvonne's cold fingers, as if it were just a casual gesture. She said, "Miss, you're too worked up right now, and you've been in the rain... Your body won't be able to take it." Her voice softened as she added, "My place is just nearby. Why don't you come over, change into something dry, and have a cup of tea to warm you up?" Her eyes were filled with genuine concern as she assured Yvonne, saying, "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone. Still, I just can't stand seeing you in this state. We're kind of in the same boat, aren't we?" Yvonne stared into Gwyneth's gentle, sympathetic eyes and thought about the story the latter had just shared. Just like that, her guard lowered.She sniffled and nodded, her voice hoarse. "Thank you..."Gwyneth smiled softly, her e

Yvonne looked at Gwyneth and asked, "Team up?" Gwyneth nodded, her eyes becoming sharp. "Exactly. Besides Aren, Aspen's biggest support right now is Fuller Group, which she just got her hands on. If we can destroy Fuller Group and leave her overwhelmed, things with Aren might change too." Gwyneth's words made Yvonne start thinking. "How do we destroy Fuller Group?"Gwyneth smiled, confident in her plan. "That's where I'll need your help, Yvonne." "Me?""Yes. I know the Stevens and Jefferson families had a good relationship before, and even though it might not be as strong now, there are still some old connections and networks there," Gwyneth said persuasively. She added, "The Jefferson family has a significant influence in the business world. If we could somehow make them dissatisfied with Fuller Group's current management—meaning Aspen—or create some obstacles..."And don't forget, Aspen just took over Fuller Group. She hasn't had time to build her foundation. We could sti

Meanwhile, in a secluded private club somewhere in the city, Colin's face was dark with anger. Across from him, Zac toyed with a sleek metal lighter, the metal clicking open and shut with crisp sounds. Zac broke the silence first, sounding smug as he said, "Gwen has taken care of things on her end. That stupid woman, Yvonne, really is easy to manipulate." "People blinded by hatred are always the easiest to use." Colin raised his wine glass and took a sip of the warm liquid, his Adam's apple bobbing. Then, he asked, "Are you sure she can actually influence the Jefferson family?" He doubted Yvonne's capabilities. After all, the Stevens family wasn't what it used to be, and a family like the Jeffersons couldn't be easily swayed. Zac scoffed. "Colin, you're underestimating a woman's jealousy. Yvonne might not carry much weight with Mr. Jefferson Senior, but there are always a few members of the Jefferson family's distant relatives who either miss the old ties or resent Aspen

Aren walked over and gently placed his warm hand over Aspen's slightly cold one. "Pen," he said softly, his voice carrying a soothing power that could calm anyone's heart. Aspen looked up at him, and the determination she'd just gathered softened slightly, revealing a barely perceptible hint of vulnerability. She took a deep breath, then shook her head slightly before nodding again.She mumbled, "I was prepared for what's happening at Fuller Group, so it's not a surprise…" She paused, her tone taking on a bitter edge. "It's just..." She didn't finish, but Aren understood. He pulled over a nearby chair and sat beside her, looking at her with a gentle yet firm gaze. He asked, "Is it because of my family?"Aspen's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she didn't deny it. Her voice was soft, carrying obvious worry as she replied, "Aren, I don't want you to have any conflicts with your family because of me. Have they... been bothering you again lately?" His tone was calm, almost
