As the sky darkened, the bar came to life with alcohol and worldly desires, accompanied by a cacophony of loud music, glasses clinking, and people chatting.A group of people were sitting by the corner booth, happily chatting away, when a strange lady plopped down in their booth, interrupting their fun.One of the guys looked at her strangely. "Do you have the wrong seat? We don't know you.""Have you forgotten me so quickly?" The lady leaned in closer so that they could have a better look at her face. "I just joined Anderson Group together with you all. Have you all forgotten?"Another lady soon recognized her. "You’re the one who got kicked out on the first day of the job. You were asking me about Mr. Jacobs the other day."Jane looked at her and smiled. "You don't have to add the first sentence."Hearing the warning in her tone, the other lady was a little unhappy. "You've been fired. Why are you still trying to get close to us?""Who says I don't have a chance of returning
"Bring me another glass." Noah slid the glass forward and laid on the bar drunkenly.The next second, a hand gently tapped on his shoulder.He had already rejected a few ladies' advances that night. At that moment, he was just utterly annoyed. He pushed her hand away. "Fuck off!"However, not only did the lady not go away, but instead she sat down next to him."Mr. Anderson, it's too boring to drink alone. Let me accompany you."Noah turned to see a young blonde lady. He furrowed his brows. "Are you even of legal age? You should be in school.""I came of age two years ago." Jane raised her hand at the bartender. "I'll have what he's having."Noah still looked unhappy. "Little girl, getting drunk at a bar isn't good for you. Also, I'm not in the mood to have fun with you.""I only want to talk." Jane turned to face Noah, resting her elbow on the bar. She smiled and said, "I know Stephen and Yvonne. I'm quite familiar with them."Noah sneered. "What does that have to do with
Julian was on the phone with Stephen, reporting about Noah's situation. "We're still looking for him. We should be able to find him soon. "Also, we have already spoken to all of his friends. No one would dare to take him in. Which is why we'll know immediately the moment Mr. Noah checks into a hotel."Julian was confident about his arrangement. He truly believed that Noah wouldn't be able to hide from him since he had nowhere to go."Hmm," Stephen responded, then he realized Yvonne was calling him."That's all." He hung up directly.Julian was baffled. He had been busy the entire day. He had done such a good job on it, yet there was not a single word of praise from Stephen! How heartless could Stephen be to hang up on him?Stephen answered Yvonne's call. "Yes?""I just wanted to ask … How is Mr. Anderson Senior?" Yvonne asked hesitatingly, afraid that she might tread on Stephen's toes."His talk with Noah didn't go well. Grandpa wanted to send Noah to Mount Northerna in a
On Valentine's Day, Yvonne took Elvin to Anderson Group. She held Elvin's hand in one hand and a gift in the other.When she entered the building, she immediately regretted her decision to come. On the way to Stephen's office, many staff members looked at them nosily. After all, she had appeared in their office on such a special occasion. Everyone would surely speculate.However, she was already there. All she could do was brace herself and enter the elevator. She headed directly to the floor where the CEO's office was.As she got off the elevator, she bumped into Julian, who looked bitter. She greeted him and saw him quickly change his expression. She asked, "Has work not been going well recently?"Julian shook his head. "No, I just didn't have a good sleep last night." How could he dare to tell her that he was supposed to be on holiday that day? He was just unlucky to have a boss who would put his love life over anything else!"Mr. Anderson and Ms. Britney are waiting for
On the eighth floor, Elvin was hiding in the archive storage, bored while waiting for Britney to look for him. He popped his head out of the door and grumbled, "Britney sure is slow."Right at that moment, Britney bumped into Noah. She had met Noah a few times at Anderson Mansion, and he had always been quite the gentleman. Britney knew him quite well, so she wasn't on guard at all."Britney, are you playing alone?" Noah asked with a smile.Britney shook her head and replied, "I'm playing hide and seek with Elvin. Do you want to join?""Oh?" Noah raised an eyebrow. "Where's your Dad?""He's with Aunt Yvonne.""I see …" Noah replied pensively. He had been waiting outside Miller Villa for the past two days. He had been waiting for a chance when Yvonne would take Elvin out. He had followed them all the way to Anderson Group.He had initially thought that there would be no more opportunities to deal with them once they were in Stephen's territory. But he had never expected
Yvonne noticed how worried Julian looked. She found it odd. "What's wrong with Noah coming to the office?""Mr. Noah left home after seeing Mr. Anderson Senior a few days ago. He has been avoiding us this whole time. Something must be up with him appearing in the office out of nowhere today!"Stephen ordered, "Find Noah and bring him to my office.""Yes, sir!" Julian responded and wasted no time as he left the office.A bad feeling rose in Yvonne's heart. She sprang up. "I'll go look for Elvin.""I'll come with you." Stephen went up to her and held her hand. He gently comforted her, "Don't worry. This is Anderson Group. Nothing will happen to Elvin."Yvonne hummed in response, but she was panicking more by the second.They looked for Elvin, floor by floor. They caught hold of every employee to ask if they had seen two children.When they arrived on the eighth floor, they heard a little girl crying. Yvonne's heart froze. She frantically ran toward the sound and pushed away t
The employee did as he was told, zooming in on the screen that Yvonne had pointed at. Elvin's figure appeared on the screen."He seemed to have entered the archive storage on the eighth floor," the employee said while fast-forwarding the footage. After Elvin entered the storage room, no one had entered the room for a long time.Yvonne was so worried that her palms were already sweating.Right at this moment, a man in a cap entered the screen. He gently pushed the door open and entered the archive storage. Ten minutes later, he came out pushing a box on a trolley. The box was big enough to put a child in it!He didn't take the elevator. Instead, he went by the fire exit, vanishing from the surveillance footage."It's Noah," Stephen said coldly. He could recognize Noah anywhere.Noah was equally familiar with the surveillance in the building, which was why he could avoid it so easily."Contact the police and gather the surveillance footage around the building. We have to know
"I'm going to exact revenge on Stephen by using you." Noah looked to the horizon. The sea breeze brushed against his face. He had a hostile look in his eyes. "He's got too much. It's not too much for me to take a little from him, right?"Noah sneered and looked at Elvin. "Anyway, he didn't want you in the first place. You're just lucky that you managed to live until now."Elvin said nothing. He merely frowned at Noah. Although he was young, he could sense Noah's murderous intentions. He knew that being afraid was useless. In such a vast sea, he could only rely on himself to come up with something. But … he was just a kid.With his thoughts back to square one, Elvin has felt a sense of helplessness that he had never felt before. He missed Yvonne even more at that moment. In his heart, he wondered, "Mommy, what should I do?"Seeing Elvin's silence, Noah smiled even more arrogantly. He pinched Elvin's face. "What is it? Are you afraid now? Don't be afraid. I'll make sure tha
