When she returned to Zachary’s office, he had a frustrated expression on his face as he sat in his office. He had thrown a tantrum earlier and files were scattered across the floor. Felix stood there in his office with his head lowered, not saying a word. Yvonne hurried to pick up the files and placed them in front of Zachary. When Zachary saw Yvonne, he wiped the frustration off his face and said, “Contact Commissioner Lance from the Department of City Development for a meeting!” “Yes, right away!” Yvonne immediately picked up the phone and called Commissioner Lance. After she hung up, she reported to Zachary, “President Quimby, Commissioner Lance has agreed for a meeting!” “He agreed? Haha, that old fox!” Zachary laughed. Commissioner Lance from the Department of City Development was said to be a tough nut to crack. Things would become much easier if they could get him on their side. Jackson Miller would also have thought of every possible way to win over Commissioner Lan

“I won’t let go! You look so gorgeous and tasty. Come with me tonight. I’ll take good care of you!” Mr. Lance began groping Yvonne as he spoke. Yvonne became angry as she dodged his hands and slapped him. “How dare you slap me?” Flames were in Mr. Lance’s eyes as he got slapped. “Such audacity. Do you know who I am?” “Why should I care who you are? F*ck off!” This time, she attracted the attention of the bodyguards Mr. Lance had brought along with him. “Mr. Lance! Are you alright?” Mr. Lance nursed his stinging cheek. There was no way that he would let this go. He pointed at Yvonne as he said, “Take this woman to my room!” “Mr. Lance, she isn’t the kind of woman that you think she is!” the bodyguard answered after glancing at Yvonne. “I don’t care what kind of woman she is. I’ve got my eyes set on her tonight. Hurry up and take her to my room!” The two men dared not say anything else against Mr. Lance and dragged Yvonne along with them. “Help!” was the only thing Yvonne m

“Of course I am fine. What could happen to me?” Zachary laughed and said, “We’ll train together again another day, Miller. I’m going to get my revenge.” “I look forward to it!” Jackson retorted. Zachary had said that he was alright, but Yvonne saw what was going on just now. He was obviously at a disadvantage during his fight with Jackson because he had had too much to drink. She had always hated Zachary for some reason. She suddenly realized there was nothing about him to hate after he took his shirt to cover her tonight. Jackson sat in the room dejected. The corner of his mouth was bleeding from the fight, and there were bruises on his face. That made him look incredibly disheveled. James ordered someone to bring the first aid kit over. “President Miller, this might hurt a little. Hang on.” “This tiny wound does nothing to me!” Jackson said as he gritted his teeth. Compared to the gaping wound in his heart, a tiny wound like that meant nothing. He could not help but cur

The next morning, Yvonne went to the office with a bruise on the corner of his mouth. Zachary also had a bruise on the corner of his mouth. When they saw the bruises on each other’s faces, the two burst into laughter. The atmosphere was a massive improvement from the night before. When it was time for lunch, Zachary took Yvonne to a nearby restaurant. It was a Mexican restaurant. Yvonne thought to herself, ‘Doesn't Zachary hate Mexican food? What’s going on today?’The two had not placed their orders when a voice spoke out, “I can’t believe we meet again so quickly!” When Yvonne turned around, she saw that Mr. Lance and two of his bodyguards were looking at her and Zachary. Zachary might have just arrived at South City, but he knew what’s going on in South City. He immediately recognized Mr. Lance at first glance and laughed as he said, “You missed out on the second part. It was no trouble finding you!”“Teach this boy a lesson!” Mr. Lance ordered his two men. The two men imme

“How about the twenty-fifth of next month as the engagement date? The city development tender should be settled by then!” “Alright, the twenty-fifth of next month it is.” Susan immediately agreed, and the two discussed details about Fiona and Jackson’s engagement before going their separate ways. Jackson only returned at ten o’clock that night. Jade started talking to him about the engagement when he returned. “I’ve discussed the engagement with Madam Millers today. The date was decided on the twenty-fifth of next month.” Jackson remained silent, and Jade continued coaxing him. “Jackson, Fiona is a kind, obedient girl who has suffered so much for you. You should marry her because of that. Besides, she’s Jared Summers’ daughter. No harm in marrying her.” Jackson remained silent. Jade had already grown used to her son’s silence. Ever since she had threatened him with death so that he would kick Yvonne out of the family, they had had less and less to talk to each other. Sometime
