He started to laugh uncontrollably. Yvonne could only stand aside and look at him. Zachary had laughed for quite some time before he stopped.“Yvonne Yates, you are one of a kind. You are not good-looking and pretty incompetent as an assistant. Now to add your fierceness into the mix. Which man would dare to marry you?” Zachary had always had a sharp tongue. Yvonne just lowered her eyes silently in response. With no regard to how she felt, Zachary continued saying, “It’s all your fault for wasting my time. I was supposed to get lunch together with Lulu, but this happened instead… Get yourself a cab home. I’ll be deducting your bonus by half this month!” Zachary got into his car and left when he finished, leaving Yvonne to stand there by herself for some time before she dragged herself over to the bus stop nearby. In less than five minutes after she had left, a luxurious Aston Martin pulled to a stop in the police station’s parking lot. Jackson was sitting in the back seat. His
As night fell, Yvonne laid in bed and drifted off to sleep. She had a dream. She went back to that day three years ago when Fiona grinned gleefully at her and flaunted her baby bump. “Sis, I’m pregnant. The kid belongs to Jackson!” All she did was slap her, but Fiona ended up suffering a miscarriage. She had been both scared and angry as she stared at the blood on the floor. “Slap!” She recalled the loud sound of a slap, followed by the voice of her mother-in-law, Jade Lewis, screaming and cursing at her. “Just because you can’t get pregnant, it doesn’t mean everyone else can’t too” “These are divorce papers. Please read and sign them!” That was the lawyer’s apathetic voice. “President Miller is a very busy man. Stop stalling and sign them now. That way will be better for everyone!” He was the man whom she had loved with all her heart for five years. He was the man she was prepared to spend the rest of her life with! Intense pain tugged at Yvonne’s heart as sweat coated
She had not been following the news involving Jackson for the past three years, which explained why she had no idea that Jackson was getting married to his mistress, Fiona. Zachary laughed coldly. “Miller is getting married to the secretary’s beloved daughter. We will have to select our gifts based on how grand the occasion is. Anyhow, we’ll have to give them a magnificent gift!”“What do you think we should give them, President Miller?” “What should we give them? How would I know?” Zachary looked over at Yvonne. “You can be in charge of this. Go and pick out a present.” “I… I don’t know what to do. Perhaps you should arrange for someone else to do this, President Quimby.” There was no way Yvonne wanted to pick out the gifts for that b*stard and b*tch couple. She immediately refused. “Ever heard of something called on-the-job training?” It seemed like Zachary’s favorite pastime was to torment Yvonne. He had disliked her at first glance. She was a twenty-seven-year-old woman wh
Jared immediately let go of Yvonne’s arm. When they turned around, they realized that Zachary was standing behind them for some time. He was stunned when he saw Jared. “Secretary Summers?” “President Quimby!” Jared laughed awkwardly. In an instant, Zachary put a fake smile on his face as he added, “Secretary, why are you holding my assistant’s hand? Are you harassing her?” “Assistant?” Jared looked at Zachary in surprise. Then, he looked over to his daughter. “Yvonne, you’re working for President Quimby?” “Yvonne? Why do you address her as if you’re someone close to her? I say, Secretary Summers, my assistant is young enough to be your daughter, right? Besides, she isn’t that good-looking. Please don’t get the wrong idea!” Zachary pointed out his actions shamelessly as he spoke and pulled Yvonne over to him at the same time. “Get the wrong idea?” Jared immediately understood what was going on. It seemed like Zachary had misunderstood his relationship with Yvonne. He did not
Jade was unfazed when she heard the onlookers talk about calling the police. Instead, she yelled, “Who are you to come to her aid when you know nothing? Let me tell you how wicked and lowly this woman is. She was a murderer three years ago. She pushed my daughter-in-law, who was four months pregnant at that time, and caused her to miscarry all because she wanted to seduce my son!” Jade had a great talent for twisting the truth. After she had said that, the crowd immediately switched sides and glared at Yvonne in disgust. “I could never tell by looking at her. So young but so evil!” Yvonne shuddered in anger. She had wanted to settle things quietly and leave, but she ended up calling the police because Jade had provoked her. The police soon arrived, and Jade said furiously, “Do you know who my son is? He is Jackson Miller. My in-law is Secretary Summers. You guys should know your place before you do anything” The police had heard of Jackson Miller and Secretary Summers. They tur
Yvonne hobbled out of the hospital and saw a beggar begging for money nearby. She tossed the gold card that Jackson had given her to the beggar. The beggar held the gold card in his hands and stared at her in disbelief. Yvonne took a few steps forward before she turned back and told the beggar, “There’s no password or limit to this card. Take as much money as you like!” As Yvonne watched the beggar walk over to the nearest ATM, she let out a sigh, relieving some of the anger from her chest. You wanted to act like a gentleman, right, Miller? I’ll let you act to your heart’s content!She was in a great mood as she hailed a cab and went home. Because of her injuries from the accident, Yvonne decided to skip work the next day. She phoned Zachary to tell him she would be on medical leave, and he said in a harsh and sarcastic voice when he answered, “Yvonne Yates, just because I let you off early yesterday, do you think you can get away from slacking off?” “It’s not like that, Presi
Yvonne did not expect him to kiss her just because he wanted to. She slapped him across the face without hesitation. Not even in Zachary’s wildest dreams would he have expected Yvonne, who was usually so meek and quiet, to take any action against him. He did not have time to avoid and was slapped squarely on the cheek. He had never been slapped ever in his life. He immediately let go of Yvonne and threatened in a fierce tone, “Do you not want your job anymore?” Yvonne knew that as the beloved third son of the Quimby family, Zachary had never been slapped by a woman in his life. This would mean she had just dug herself a grave for slapping him across the face. There was no way Zachary was going to forgive her. She decided to go all-in now that the worst had happened. “Hey, Quimby, I’ve been sick of you for a long time! I’m fine not having my job anymore. There will always be some other place that will take me in. I quit!’ Just as she finished saying that, she unzipped her bag a
Yvonne was still feeling muddled on the way back home. Everything Sandra had said about the high payout for appearing in the dating reality show tempted her. Furthermore, Sandra had also mentioned that there would be a bonus if the views were good. Does that mean she could be rich? To some, earning several million dollars is not equivalent to getting rich, but it is to Yvonne. Now that her uncle had fallen sick, she would need to prepare a large sum of money for the medical bills. However, she had no source of income at the moment since she had quit her job. If she could earn some money by being a guest star on the dating reality show, she would gladly accept the offer in a heartbeat. When the car pulled to a stop at the alleyway, Yvonne hurriedly got out with the documents. As she walked up to the entrance, she was stopped by someone. Zachary looked like a thug, standing there with a smile and his hands in his pockets.“Yvonne! I’ve waited so long for you!” “Why were you wait
