"Based on what you just said and my understanding of Tempest, the person Joseph fears the most is Carson, whom you said is your grandfather. Years ago, when Carson suddenly disappeared, it was rumored that he had died. However, in reality, he was living in seclusion in Harbor City, raising your father. But why did he hide his identity again later? Was he avoiding his enemies, or was there another reason? You mentioned that Maximilian said Carson hasn’t shown up because the time isn’t right. What exactly is he waiting for?" Jeffrey had a lot of questions. "Joseph and my grandfather had a falling out back then. My grandfather is likely hiding from Joseph. The York family is holding Eagle, who is Tempest's trump card. Since Eagle is in Joseph's hands, my grandfather has to be cautious." Melanie analyzed."I've been investigating Tempest for over a year, but from what I've found, it doesn't seem that there is any business conflict between Joseph and Carson. Was it because of women?”
Yancey Group, Medonia Branch, Top Floor Conference Room.At the head of the table sat Mrs. Yancey, with seats on either side reserved for Linda and Jefford. Jefford appeared confident, but Linda's seat remained empty.New and old shareholders were gradually arriving.Melanie also attended with Richard. When she entered, she greeted Mrs. Yancey with a nod. Mrs. Yancey smiled back at her. "I haven’t seen you in a while; I missed you so much. I didn't expect to see you again as the heir of the York family.""Not quite yet," Melanie smiled.“You are being humble, Miss Melanie. During the York family celebration last week, Joseph personally introduced you to us. He even sent his butler to accompany you to the board meeting. There’s no way you’re not the heir." Someone flattered Melanie.“That’s right. We’re waiting for Joseph to hold a press conference and officially announce it to the public,” another chimed in. In less than two weeks, two powerhouses of international trade e
In the conference room of Yancey Group, Linda’s loyal shareholders frowned in displeasure."Master Jefford, what is the meaning of this?""Did you ask Quentin to stop Miss Yancey from coming here? Did you also install surveillance for us to watch? You’re despicable!"Seeing the shareholders supporting Linda grow agitated, Jeffrey smirked. “Come on, continue watching, and you'll see that what I’ve done is insignificant compared to Linda's actions."“The topic of their fight is none of our business! We’re not gossip reporters!” An old shareholder protested."Silence!" Mrs. Yancey slammed the table. Everyone kept quiet immediately. Mrs. Yancey stared intently at the screen, her eyes glistening with hatred. Everyone knew that Cambree's death was a sore spot for Mrs. Yancey and her husband.Now that Quentin had brought it up again, something must be behind it. Mrs. Yancey wanted to know the truth.-"Quentin, you broke my heart! Haven't you tormented me enough over the yea
“Madam…”Everyone panicked.The old shareholders exchanged worried glances, not expecting things to escalate to this point. The situation was spiraling out of control.Melanie was focused on the big screen. Upon hearing that Linda had poisoned Jeffrey’s mother, she was filled with hatred for Linda and sympathy for Jeffrey.Lost in her own emotions, she didn't notice that Jefford sitting next to Mrs. Yancey seemed even more agitated. Though he could barely remember his mother's face, the pain of losing her made Jeffrey feel like doing the same to Linda. “Call the police!” Mrs. Yancey ordered her assistant.The assistant nodded and immediately called the police.The shareholders supporting Linda were anxious and pleaded, “Madam, think about it… What happened back then has long passed. Do we need to involve the police?” “She has admitted to her crimes. Why wouldn’t I report her to the police? Are you suggesting that I let Cam suffer injustice even after she’s gone?” Mrs. Yance
"For a long time now." Jeffrey was honest with Mrs. Yancey. "I encountered Melanie when she was giving birth. Seeing her on the brink of death, fragments of my memory came together, and I remembered everything.""That was indeed a long time ago." Mrs. Yancey sighed."Grandma, I didn’t intend to keep it from you, but the situation was very unfavorable for both me and the Morgan Group. Hiding my identity was the best option for everyone," Jeffrey explained."The Yancey Group has relentlessly pressured the Morgan Group to the brink of collapse. Now that you remember your identity, how do you plan to deal with the Yancey Group and me?" Mrs. Yancey asked tentatively."Linda's actions against the Morgan Group were hers alone. I won't make things difficult for the Yancey Group," Jeffrey answered."I didn’t stop her, and you should be smart enough to know that I disliked the Morgan Group too," Mrs. Yancey said.Her frankness made Jeffrey relax. He smiled faintly and said, "Is it because
Melanie returned to the York family estate, where a servant hurriedly reported to her and Richard, "Master York is awake and in good spirits. He wants to see you both as soon as you return."Melanie and Richard exchanged glances and quickly made their way to Joseph's room. Joseph was propped up in bed, looking much better than before."How… did it go?" His speech was still slurred."All went well." Melanie smiled as she sat down. "Jefford has completely overthrown Linda. I also publicly expressed our support. With Jefford in power, he will remember the York family’s kindness."Joseph nodded in satisfaction. "Well… done.""Indeed, Master York. You don’t have to worry about anything. Melanie handled everything with great tact. I didn't even need to point out anything,” Richard chimed in.Melanie smiled modestly. "Thank you. You've been a great support.""Hahaha!" Joseph laughed heartily and gestured between Richard and Melanie.Richard quickly understood his meaning and turned
Upon hearing the news, Melanie closed the file in her hands and urgently asked, "Where is he?""He's in Medonia. Nathan has been hiding him. The watch on him loosened after Nathan fled, allowing us to find him. He's being taken to the hospital now.""Is he... badly injured?" Melanie asked with concern."Yeah,” Jeffrey said solemnly."I want to see him.”"Is it safe for you to travel? Should I come to pick you up?" Jeffrey was worried about her safety."You are looking down on the York family already, huh?" Melanie joked.Jeffrey chuckled. "I'll send you his location. We’ll talk when we meet there.” “Alright.” Melanie put away the files on her desk and glanced at the clock. It was nearly 11 PM. No wonder she felt so tired. It seemed she would be pulling an all-nighter again with the little one in her belly.-After calling Melanie, Jeffrey couldn't sit still. He paced back and forth, rubbing his hands anxiously.He had decided that the next time they met, he would revea
The doctor told Melanie and Jeffrey that Mr. Smith had multiple injuries all over his body, and there was also a blood clot in his brain; he would not be able to wake up anytime soon.Melanie immediately sent Mr. Smith's medical records to Professor Turner and video-called him to discuss Mr. Smith's treatment plan.Finally, Professor Turner concluded that it was not an issue for Mr. Smith to regain consciousness. As long as the treatment was continuous, he should wake up in a few months. Melanie was relieved to hear that. It was past midnight by the time she finished talking to Professor Turner.She yawned and told Jeffrey, “Please have people guard Mr. Smith. I'll also send some people so that they can rotate shifts.""It’s fine. I have enough men." Jeffrey didn't want her to exhaust herself."I insist," Melanie insisted.To Jefford, Mr. Smith was just a passerby in his life, but to Melanie, he was a friend. He was someone who saved her life. She felt more at ease having her
