Noah grabbed his cue once again while gazing into Yvonne's eyes. "What are we playing?"Yvonne's expression was a mask of innocence. "I don't really do cue sports. Let's play the eight-ball pool since it's the most basic game. What do you think, hmm?"Eight-ball pool was one of the easier cue games. The rule was to strike the ball and use its trajectory to pocket the other colored balls. In order to win the game, the last ball the player had to pocket was the black ball with the number "8" painted on it. If any of the players accidentally pocketed the black ball at any point during the game, the other player would automatically win.Noah smirked contemptuously upon hearing the suggestion. "Sure thing. If we were to play a relatively complicated round, people might think of me as someone who bullies an amateur in cue sports."Yvonne just smiled. "Precisely. You're quite meticulous, aren't you, Mr. Noah? In that case, why don't you let me go first? I'll have the first strike, i

Leaving the hospital, Yvonne sent Nicole home before driving back to Miller Villa.On the way, Stephen called her. "I heard that you had a game with Noah."Yvonne chuckled. "You sure have eyes on everything. It has only been a few hours, and you've already heard about it.""Have you forgotten who Euphoria Smith belongs to?" Stephen had heard the news from Stanley. Stanley had made Yvonne sound like a goddess. His tone was filled with admiration.Hearing Yvonne being praised, Stephen felt much happier than he did when he heard compliments about himself. He was in an extremely good mood at that moment, maybe even a little smug."Stanley said you won a man from Noah. Yvonne, you sure are capable.""Noah had taken Finlay. If I hadn't rescued him tonight, Noah and his bros would have made him crippled."Yvonne sighed and continued, "I was the one who forced Finlay to tell me the truth and recorded it. "I had promised him I wouldn't give the recording to Noah, but I still used it in

Noah kicked her a few times. When he saw no reaction from Katie, he crawled over to her. He reached his hand out and placed it under her nose.She wasn't breathing!Noah was terrified. He stumbled backward once more and looked at Katie in disbelief. "I-impossible! H-how could she be dead?"He frantically got up and shook her by the shoulder. "Wake up! You can't die! You can't do this to me! Katie Jones!"Then, he performed all the first aid he could on her.He was already sweating profusely, but nothing worked.Katie still remained lifeless on the table without any signs of breathing. She was a corpse!After extreme fear, strangely, Noah felt extremely calm.He went to the couch and took a swig of alcohol. He choked on it and coughed a few times.Looking at Katie on the table through his tearful eyes, he suddenly laughed maliciously. He bawled out, laughing so much that his stomach hurt. He slumped onto the couch. "Katie, you want to drag me down together? I won't let you! Y

The next morning, Chuck was in his study on the third floor, looking out of the window. He could clearly see a few men standing guard by the corner of his fence.Right at this moment, Yvonne's car slowly arrived, stopping in front of those men.The leader among the men went forward, seeming to be talking to Yvonne.Chuck furrowed his brows a little. Sure enough, they were Yvonne's men.All this while, he had been busy with his engagements, all just so he could find a chance to send Gwen away. But those men had been keeping a tight watch on him. He could never find the chance.A few days later, Yvonne was visiting him once more. He wondered what she was up to.He clutched his coffee cup tightly. His gaze darkened a little.Seeing the car arrive by the gate, he placed his cup down and left his study, heading down to welcome Yvonne.Before Yvonne could press the doorbell, Chuck opened the door.Yvonne retracted her hand and smiled at Chuck. "Mr. Jensen, are you leaving?""You've

Lloyd seemed to have noticed Yvonne's hesitation. He volunteered himself. "Ms. Yvonne, wait here. I'll go have a look."Then, Lloyd went toward the cage. The closer he went, the stronger the smell of the blood. Lloyd was anxious. His hand trembled when he grabbed the black cloth. He closed his eyes and pulled the black cloth away in one swift motion.Before he could open his eyes, Yvonne shrieked, "Gwen!"Lloyd saw what was before him and was instantly bewildered.A person was curled up in the corner, covered in blood. Every single part of her body was bruised. Without the black cloth, the stench of blood and rot was even stronger.Lloyd was still stunned, but Yvonne was already by the cage, frantically trying to unlock it.Tears fell, blurring her sight, yet her eyes were still fixed on Gwen. "Gwen, I'm sorry. I'm sorry for being late."Lloyd came to his senses. Seeing the blood on Yvonne's fingers, he immediately took her wrist. "Ms. Yvonne, calm down. I'll get someone to un
