"If you two think it's inappropriate, I can leave." Stephen was about to leave, but Yvonne held him back.She smiled at Claude and Leonard. "Stephen is one of our own. He might even be able to help."Leonard smiled benevolently. "Yvonne is right. An extra friend is a good thing. "Stephen, have a seat. Sorry for the misunderstanding just now."Leonard got Stephen to take a seat, and he poured him a cup of tea.Stephen lowered his gaze and said nothing. Just by sitting there, he was giving off a suffocating air of dominance.Claude and Leonard looked at him for a while before Claude said, "I heard that Yvonne had passed out after drinking Jane's cocktail."Yvonne chuckled. "Yes, Ms. Ford's cocktail sure was potent. I was careless. I drank it all without understanding what I was drinking.""I know Jane best. She's too spoiled." Claude sighed. "Luckily, this didn't become a huge problem."Although Claude hadn't said it explicitly, Yvonne understood that he knew exactly what Jan
In the end, Leonard and Claude didn't explain their plan in detail. They had only said that once Chuck had recovered, they would let him and Yvonne continue working together. By then, she would understand every step of their plan."Yvonne, you have to believe that we have a common enemy and the same goal." Leonard had put it so sincerely that if Yvonne hadn't known any better, she would have been fooled.Leaving Claude and Leonard, Yvonne said pensively, "Although Well Spring Pharma is huge, Claude and Leonard must have their eyes on something much bigger than that."If not, they wouldn't have given up Well Spring Pharma as a gift to her so easily."Forget about it." Yvonne chuckled gently. "This trip wasn't in vain after all. At least we know the true relationship between Chuck and them, and we can work on the same plan together. No matter what, it's much better than not knowing anything."Yvonne turned around to look at Stephen. "What do you think?"Under the sun, Yvonne's
Upon arriving in Northerna City, Yvonne and Stephen split up at the airport entrance.Julian came to pick Stephen up. When Stephen got in the car, he said, "Sir, while you weren't around, Noah has been staying at Anderson Mansion all day long. He didn't go anywhere." Julian thought for a while before continuing, "He seems rather down after Katie was sent abroad."Stephen looked at Julian. "Will you care for the woman who smashed a bottle on your head?"Julian smiled. "They did indeed look like they weren't close to each other back then. But now that she's no longer by his side, perhaps he's realized how important she was to him.""Ask yourself, how possible do you think this is?" Stephen calmly said before leaning his head on his hand and resting. "Things could still go wrong. Better keep a close eye on him."Julian nodded. "Okay. By the way, there is another matter. The HR department is urgently looking for you to sign the paperwork for the fall recruitment. I brought it alon
That night, Yvonne tucked Elvin in bed.She had missed him terribly since she hadn't seen him for a few days. "I'll sleep with you tonight. How about that?"Elvin furrowed his brows. "There's no need—"Yvonne placed a finger on his mouth, stopping him from refusing her. "Shh. It's decided."Elvin couldn't do anything, so he caved in.Yvonne happily hugged Elvin and nuzzled his face. "You're so heartless. I've missed you so much. Why does it seem like you didn't miss me?""You were with the evil man. So I wasn't worried," Elvin replied, pushing Yvonne's face away with difficulty. "Mommy, I'm on my summer break. I won't need him to fetch me anymore.""That's okay. You can stay at home and play, or where do you want to go? I can take you—""You won't be able to see him every day anymore," Elvin reminded her.Yvonne was a little stunned. Then, she chuckled awkwardly. "It's annoying to see him every day. This is just nice."Elvin didn't buy it. "Is that so?"Yvonne was somehow
When Elvin and Britney arrived at the lobby of Anderson Group, they bumped into the fresh hires who had just gathered there.Britney was holding onto Julian's hand and had her other hand around her doll. She pranced ahead of Julian.Meanwhile, Elvin hadn't let Julian hold his hand. He had both hands in his pocket. He even pulled his cap down lower.They might be of similar age, but their personalities were wildly different. Furthermore, they were both very good-looking. Naturally, they attracted quite a lot of attention.Once Julian took them into the elevator, the people finally came to their senses and discussed among themselves."Are they Mr. Anderson and Ms. Miller's children? They are so much more adorable in person!""Yes! The photos online didn't do them justice!""I'm envious of them! I want their parents!"Among the discussions, a young lady asked the colleague next to her, "Who was the man who took them?"The colleague looked at her with contempt. "Julian Jacobs. He'
At the same time, Julian rushed over to the HR department. When he entered, his expression was somewhat ugly."What's going on? An entire morning has gone by. Is the newcomers' onboarding process not done yet?"The HR manager looked troubled. "Mr. Jacobs, I've been trying to get it done, but one newcomer isn't happy with the job assigned to her."Julian furrowed her brows. "If she's a newcomer and she's not willing to listen, why don't you just fire her?""This newcomer is no ordinary person." The HR manager went in closer and said softly, "She had a personal recommendation from the boss of Finspatial Securities. We have to show some deference.""Finspatial Securities recommended her?" Julian was stunned. "Did you do your background check? Where is she from?""If you're so curious, why don't you just ask me?" A woman's voice rang out.Julian looked up to see a young lady smiling at him. He frowned more.She looked young. If she had connections to the higher-ups at Finspatia
That evening, Elvin returned home to Miller Villa. He tugged on Yvonne's hand and said mysteriously, "Mommy, I have something to tell you."Yvonne was curious. "What is it?""I think the evil man has another woman." Elvin furrowed his brows. "But, I'm not too sure …"Yvonne chuckled at how troubled Elvin looked. "Did you see her when you went to Anderson Group today?""I can't really say that it's his woman." Elvin took a ball of crumpled paper out of his pocket. "He doesn't seem to like her, but she went looking for him at the office."Yvonne's curiosity was instantly piqued. She smoothed out the crumpled paper. When she saw what was on it, she was stunned.Why was Jane Ford at the Anderson Group? Was this what Claude meant when he said he would keep an eye on her?Elvin went in closer. "Mommy, do you know her?""Yes, but we're not close." Yvonne looked at Elvin. "Where did you get this from?""The bin. He threw it away." Elvin had waited for an entire afternoon to fina
"Didn't I mention that I wanted to introduce a client to you?" Yvonne asked.The man replied, "Oh, yes. Are you going to introduce the client to me now?""Hmm," Yvonne responded, and she aimed the camera at Nicole, who was still stunned. "This is her. She's the chief designer at Miller Jewels, Nicole Princeton. But she will soon be the boss of QT."The man on the screen smiled at Nicole, but he still gave her a fright because of how fierce he looked."It's a pleasure to meet you, Ms. Princeton!"Nicole gulped and looked at Yvonne, seemingly asking for help.Yvonne smiled. "He's the person in charge of the mines at the border. You can call him Howard. You can get first-hand gem supplies from him directly in the future."Yvonne had long planned to let Nicole take over the entire QT and also let Nicole deal with Howard directly on the gem supply.She was doing this to train Nicole, so it would save her the trouble. However, from Nicole's point of view, she felt like Yvonne had
