Yet Adrian paid no attention to Quentin's shock. He continued to pour himself a drink. …Since Caroline needed to focus on writing her short story, the task of preparing for the banquet fell on Gwen and Sean. "Which time do you think works best?" Gwen asked while holding the calendar. She looked through the dates, trying to pick the most suitable day.However, Sean fixed his gaze on her rosy cheeks. In the heat of the moment, he couldn't help but feel like biting them. "Hey, I'm talking to you. Are you listening?" Seeing that Sean was distracted, Gwen poked his abdomen in displeasure. He immediately returned to his senses."Whatever day you think works," Sean replied with a smile as he embraced Gwen's waist. Gwen was unhappy with his answer. "How can you be so perfunctory? From now on, Carrie is like your younger sister."Suddenly, Sean leaned close to Gwen's ear and whispered, "I would definitely be serious if we were picking the day for our wedding."As he spoke, his h
Troy Hall was the director of the Environmental Protection Bureau. He was stunned upon learning from Sean that the latter's laboratory had been shut down."Dr. Yates, please don't worry for now. I'll immediately call someone to find out more," said Troy.Sean was a brilliant doctor. Not only was he highly valued by the president of Macldo, but Yates Corporation was also a formidable company. Moreover, he was close with Kirk. All of these factors made Troy anxious.He hurriedly called his subordinates to inquire about the situation. In no time, Troy found out that the lab had been closed on Solomon Emberly's orders."That's ridiculous! He's just a diplomat. What right does he have to shut down someone's laboratory?" Troy exclaimed angrily.Troy's subordinate responded, "It seems like Ms. Emberly has liked Dr. Yates for a while now, but her feelings have not been reciprocated. So, in a fit of anger, she asked Mr. Emberly to shut down Dr. Yates' laboratory.""Isn't that even more
Finn was a sly person. So it wasn't easy to deal with him. "How are things going on with Finn?" asked Sean.He only asked this after checking that Caroline was nowhere to be seen."Deployment has commenced."Sean continued, "What are you planning to do? He's a cautious person, and highly skilled people surround him. It won't be easy to take him out.""Who said I wanted to take him out?" Kirk countered as he lifted his gaze to meet Sean's.The latter was puzzled upon hearing that. "You …""He spared my life, so of course I'll spare his. But since he plotted against Caroline, I'll make him pay a painful price."Although Sean didn't know what Kirk was planning, he was aware the latter's words weren't an empty threat. "I heard that with Charles in charge of matters in Easton, SY Group's subsidiary has emerged as the market leader in various sectors. "These include new energy vehicles, communication equipment, real estate, and more. Not bad, huh?"At this rate, Morrison Corp's
Unfortunately, her happiness didn't last for long. When Caroline passed the complete manuscript to Kirk, he said, "I'll bring it back to translate. Once I'm done, I'll have someone send it over."Caroline was at a loss for words. With her lips pursed, she returned to her room in a daze after Kirk's car disappeared into the distance.She had no idea what had happened. All she knew was that Kirk was deliberately keeping her at arm's length. She reckoned that uncovering her lost memories would make their relationship less awkward.After that, Caroline expressed her thoughts to Gwen. The latter was startled upon hearing that. "Carol, please don't let your thoughts go in that direction. Listen, Mr. Y will never ignore you."Noticing Caroline's confused expression, Gwen insisted, "Remember not to entertain such thoughts. Just live in the present and enjoy your life.""So do you think my current life is better than the one I had before I lost my memory?" Caroline inquired.Gwen th
Caroline still had no concerns and said, "Sure! Let's go with that."After that, Gwen continued to chat with Caroline for a while before leaving. To her surprise, she saw Sean talking on the phone in the living room as soon as she stepped out. "I don't care how you do it. You just have to ensure that the lab is sorted out by Saturday! I'm resuming the experiments next week!" Gwen didn't know what the person on the other end of the line said. However, Sean, who was usually calm and nice, lost his temper. "Stop wasting your time talking with me! Solve this issue now!" he said furiously.After that, he immediately ended the call. He turned around and wanted to toss his phone onto the couch.However, he noticed Gwen on the second floor. Hence, he quickly suppressed his anger. "Are you leaving now?"Gwen hummed in response. "I'll take you back."Upon hearing his words, Gwen's lips parted. Yet, in the end, she merely uttered a soft hum.With that, Sean took his keys and drove G
Gwen snickered, "You should tell Sean about this. There's no point telling me."Katie retorted, "Of course I'll tell him. I'm just afraid you won't stop pestering him."Gwen smiled. "You don't have to worry about that. I'll be returning to Easton in a few days. So I can't pester him, even if I wanted to. Unless …""Unless what?""Unless he goes to Easton with me."After hearing this, Katie laughed. "In your dreams! There's no way Dr. Yates would go back to Easton with you. He's already successful in Macldo. Why would he follow you to Easton and start over? Not even a fool would do that!"Although Gwen felt the same way, she still felt very uncomfortable hearing it from Katie's lips. "Since there's no way he'll follow me back to Easton, why are you still talking to me?"Katie was rendered speechless. She angrily grabbed her bag from the bed. "Just you wait. Dr. Yates will dump you soon!" Having said that, she glared at Gwen before striding away.As Gwen watched her leave,
Although this manor wasn't as magnificent as Yates Manor, it had a simple and natural appearance, as well as great aesthetic value.The Emberlys' butler led Sean to the living room."Dr. Yates, Mr. Emberly is still working in his study. Please wait a moment," the butler said before leaving the living room. He didn't even ask anyone to pour Sean a drink.After over ten minutes, Solomon finally came downstairs. When he saw Sean, a look of surprise appeared on his face."Dr. Yates, what are you doing here in my home?" Solomon was tall and handsome. Although his face showed signs of aging, he still had a youthful charm.Sean went straight to the point. "Mr. Emberly, I was told you shut down my laboratory."Solomon remained impassive. "Your laboratory has been shut down, you say? Why didn't I know about this?"Sean didn't mince words with him. "Mr. Solomon, we might as well be honest with each other. What do you want?"Solomon smiled slightly at Sean's words. "Since you've said that
Since Sean had already exposed the truth, Solomon no longer beat around the bush. "That's right. If you want to restart the experiment, you simply have to convince Mr. Sterling to sell his land and marry my daughter." Solomon smiled to ease the tense atmosphere. "Dr. Yates, these two things are simple tasks for you. As long as you agree to do it, I'll let your lab continue its operations right away."Sean glanced at him. "Then, you can keep waiting." After saying that, he turned around and left.As Katie watched Sean leave from her spot in her room, she finally lost her composure and ran downstairs. "Dad …"The glint of anger was still present in Solomon's gaze. When he saw his daughter, he forced a smile. "It's okay. Everything is all right. He won't last long. If he can't reopen his lab, all his work will be in vain."Katie was worried. "But Dad, he didn't seem willing to compromise.""It's no use to resist. As long as he wants to resume his experiment, he has to agree t
