Leonard and Claude arrived at the private room right on time, as per Kendrick's message.

Seeing the empty room, Claude was infuriated. "Kendrick sure is cocky! He was the one who set the time, yet he isn't punctual! He's even making us wait for him!"

"Enough." Leonard pulled up a chair and took a seat.

"It's good enough that he's willing to meet us. There's nothing wrong with waiting a little."

"You …"

Claude rolled his eyes at Leonard and grumbled softly, "I never noticed that you were such a people-pleaser."

Leonard pretended not to hear him. He picked up the teapot, poured two cups of tea, and passed one to Claude.

Half an hour later, Kendrick arrived.

He still had his sunglasses on. He said nonchalantly, "I'm sorry to keep you two waiting."

"No, no. It's fine." Leonard immediately got up to welcome him.

"We've just been sitting for a while. You're on time."

Kendrick sat down and took off his sunglasses. He placed them on the table. "I had ordered some food beforehan

    Kendrick wasn't planning to hide it at all. He replied, "Yvonne saved my life."Leonard was stunned. He couldn't believe his ears.Since Yvonne had saved Kendrick's life, it made sense for him to protect her like that. Kendrick would also follow through with his words.This meant that Yvonne was untouchable. Now Leonard even had to think of ways to get back into her good books once more.The more he thought about it, the more depressed he was. If he had known about this, he wouldn't have listened to Mark and cut off ties with Yvonne! "Do you still have any other questions?" Kendrick's voice pulled Leonard back to reality.Leonard smiled and said, "No. I was just surprised. I have never heard Yvonne mention that she once saved your life.""She still doesn't know my identity. To her, I'm just a normal patient." At that, Kendrick added, "I don't want her to know that I'm helping her behind her back."Leonard nodded understandingly. "Don't worry. Without your permission, I won't

    Gwen turned her phone off immediately after sending the messages, just as she had done last time.Since Yvonne knew Gwen well, she no longer felt disheartened by that. Her thoughts were now focused on Kendrick's meeting with Leonard and Claude.The next day, Yvonne's inattentive demeanor caught Stephen's attention."Something on your mind?" he asked."Gwen texted me again last night."Yvonne searched for the picture on her phone. She showed Stephen an enlarged headshot of a man. "See, doesn't he look like Kendrick?"Stephen's brows furrowed. Why was it this dude again? "It doesn't.""No?" Yvonne took another glance at the picture. "I remember his physique though, and he gives off a stylish vibe …"Wearing sunglasses in the middle of the night did seem like something Kendrick would do to show off."And you remember his physique that vividly?" There was a hint of annoyance in Stephen's tone."It's not like it's something hard to remember." A sudden realization dawned upon

    "Of course not." Yvonne smiled. "Look back at everything I've gone through. I won't trust anyone blindly now. That's why I plan to get to know Kendrick better before making any decisions."Stephen went quiet. Something didn't feel quite right about this conversation. "That's not what I mean.""I know what you meant," Yvonne interrupted him while looking straight into his eyes. "You don't like Kendrick. That's why you're against us working together. You want me to stay away from him. Unfortunately, I need more power."After Howard's death, she had realized there was no time to lose. Mark wouldn't wait. The moment she dawdled, unknown sacrifices would await her.Therefore, she couldn't afford to miss any opportunity."I'm calling this number." Her fingers closed around the business card. "At least I'm being honest with you.""Then, there's no stopping you." Stephen eyed her hand and sighed. "Since you're adamant about believing him, so be it. At least you'll know what's goi

    Kendrick's eyebrows furrowed when he saw the messages. "What a waste," he responded coldly.The reply was quick. "You didn't make yourself clear, so you can't blame her.""This doesn't count," Kendrick retorted."Well, you made the rules."Kendrick could almost picture the gloating grin on the man's face. He was starting to get more annoyed."I'll see her once I finish with the work on hand."After he was done replying, Kendrick tossed his phone aside and sank into the couch. His gaze was fixed on the ceiling.Since Yvonne had made the call, she must be determined to get help to deal with Mark, Leonard, and Claude.It was a clear indication that the death of one of her men had hit her hard. Or else, it wouldn't have prompted her to make such a crucial decision in such a short time.Kendrick couldn't help but recall the last time he had met Yvonne. He remembered the way she had spoken about her subordinate and said she didn't discriminate between lives at Hope. It seemed like

    After leaving the ward, Jim impatiently said, "Chuck has returned to Well Spring Pharma. He made a public announcement that he will hold a press conference next week. "By then, he plans to launch a brand new international medical platform."Jim continued. "I just talked to Conan on the phone. He was still at an emergency meeting. He said that half of Hopeful Faith's core team members have left. They most likely jumped ship and went to Well Spring Pharma."Jim furrowed his brows. "Conan suspects that Well Spring Pharma's new platform was built based on Hopeful Faith and is an improved version of it. "They are launching the platform abroad, so it would be hard for us to hold Well Spring Pharma accountable."Yvonne's heart sank. "How could Conan be so careless? I already told him over and over again that he had to be careful of Chuck. He …"At that point in time, it was pointless to blame Conan.Yvonne didn't finish her sentence. "Forget about it. I'll find a way to deal with thi

    "Yes!" Jade said without missing a beat. She looked at the photo with widened eyes. "Yvonne, how did you know it was her?""I guessed." Yvonne could feel Jade's hand trembling. She immediately put her phone away. "Jade, you've done me a huge favor."Jade was surprised. "Really?"Yvonne smiled and hummed in response. "Thank you for remembering this."Jade was delighted, and her fear immediately vanished. "That's great!"Yvonne wasn't planning to explain more to Jade. She merely clenched her phone tightly.So Chuck had been planning this when he stayed back at Hope. He had planned to agitate Jade, and he had used that to get Howard to ask him about the truth.That meant that, from the beginning, he had known that Jane had kidnapped Jade. Yet he had kept playing dumb.He was the one who had secretly stirred up trouble! He had used Howard to exact revenge on Leonard and Claude, and then used that to gain Mark's trust. Even if Leonard and Claude found out that he was behind th

    Since Well Spring Pharma was internationally renowned pharmaceutical company, all eyes were on their medical platform.Ever since Chuck had announced the launch date, there had been a constant buzz about the platform. Furthermore, all the major international healthcare media outlets had been rushing to report on it for a week. Finally, amidst great anticipation, the day of the platform's launch arrived as planned. That afternoon, the launch venue was filled with people, and there were cameras flashing everywhere. As soon as Yvonne arrived, the reporters spotted her and rushed up to her all at once. She was bombarded with questions, one after another. Since Hope Health Services and Well Spring Pharma were partners, everyone assumed that Yvonne had inside information. Thus, they grilled her relentlessly about the specifics of the new platform. To their disappointment, Yvonne merely smiled in response. She was afraid that if she opened her mouth, she wouldn't be able to stop

    Chuck glanced over, and his face darkened slightly. Where on earth had this insolent reporter come from?He had bribed all the reporters ahead of the launch so that they wouldn't ask any sensitive questions. As a result of the reporter's question, other reporters also noticed that something was fishy. Afraid that other media outlets would beat them to reporting this breaking news, they began to ask questions as well.Everything descended into chaos very quickly. All the staff could do was end the Q&A session prematurely and escort Chuck offstage.Chuck was furious. As he handed over his microphone, he commanded in a low voice, "Find that reporter and find out who sent him here to cause trouble. Also, make sure to take care of this. Don't let any news that's unfavorable to the platform get leaked."The staff member nodded and answered, "Don't worry, Mr. Jensen. We'll communicate this with the reporters." As Chuck strode off, the staff member called after him urgently, "Mr. Jense

    A light breeze blew by in the courtyard. Agatha slowly recounted the past.Back then, Daniel and his wife, Katherine, had just had Mark. The entire Carrington family had been celebrating.They had doted on Mark and taken him wherever they went.That day, they had headed out. Before they'd known it, Mark had been taken away.Just when Daniel and Katherine had been on the brink of losing it, they had received a call from the kidnapper to bring the ransom to a specific spot.They had gotten the money and driven there without any hesitation. No one had thought that they would ever return after that. Even Mark had disappeared.When Agatha finished recounting this, her cup of tea had already cooled.She wiped her tears away.

    As Yvonne left the room, she could tell that Stephen's mood was much better.She looked at him. "Are you thinking of something nice?""No." Stephen looked at Yvonne with a rare twinkle in his eyes."Let me take you to breakfast." Before Yvonne could respond, he took her hand and led her to the elevator.Thinking about how he'd stood outside her room the entire night, Yvonne decided to let him hold her hand.Then, her thoughts drifted to Otto. Somehow, she had a bad feeling.…At the same time, Mark was in the courtyard of Carrington Mansion. He sat next to Agatha and poured some tea for her.He handed her a cup of hot tea. "Great-Grandma, try this."When he noticed that Agatha had no reaction, he called out to her once more. "Great-Grandma?""Huh?" Agatha came to her senses. She looked at Mark in confusion. "What is it?""You've been distracted since yesterday. Are you thinking of something?" Mark asked.Agatha shook her head. "Nothing." Then, she picked up her teacup and

    Yvonne stood by the door of the bedroom and looked at Otto, who was looking out of the window in a daze on the bed.The sun shone on his face. He looked quite hungover and had a sickly pale face.Yvonne hesitated for a while before saying gently, "Mrs. Jenner called me last night. She's worried about you."Otto didn't respond.Yvonne went in closer and added, "She said that you called her and asked about your father. She found it strange."Mr. Carrington, why did you suddenly think about your father? Did Mrs. Carrington Senior bring him up yesterday?"All Yvonne got was silence.Luckily, she was patient. She sat on the couch and followed Otto's line of sight. Tiny dust particles were floating among the sunbeams. Yvonne also fell into a daze as she watched them float about.Suddenly, Otto asked, "Have you ever felt like your world was falling apart?""Hmm?" Yvonne was confused. "For example?""I mean, like the person that you trust turns out to be different from what you'd t

    The next morning, Yvonne opened her door to see Stephen standing outside. She was caught off guard."What is wrong with you this morning? Why didn't you knock…"While talking, Yvonne noticed that Stephen was still wearing the same clothes as the night before. She furrowed her brows and asked, "Don't tell me you didn't leave last night? Have you been standing outside this door all this while?""Hmm." Stephen looked at Yvonne intently. "I thought you would've figured it out quickly."Yvonne was speechless, but she thought to herself that she'd slept like a baby the night before.She smiled at him. "Figure what out?" She noticed Stephen frowning as though he were on the brink of losing his temper.She quickly added, "I-I mean, you have to give me a hint, right? I've thought about it the entire night, but I still don't understand. My brain isn't functioning well."Stephen asked suspiciously, "You've been thinking about it the entire night?""Yes, which is why I didn't look for yo

    "If I hadn't come to find you tonight, you probably wouldn't tell me anything about what happened tonight, would you?" Stephen asked in retort.It wasn't a big deal, as long as they returned safely. Yvonne wondered why she needed to report this to him.But she still smiled. "It's late. How could I disrupt your rest? It would've been the same if I told you about it tomorrow morning, right?"Stephen sniggered. "Yvonne, you still don't know where you've gone wrong."He suddenly went in closer to her. Yvonne instinctively retreated until her back was up against the wall. She glared at him."What on earth is wrong with you? I've already said that I would've told you tomorrow morning—"A punch went past Yvonne and landed brutally on the wall.Yvonne was a little stunned. She looked into Stephen's eyes and furrowed her brows. "Stephen, I don't want to quarrel with you for no reason. "Mrs. Carrington Senior went to look for Otto today. Calbert couldn't reach him the entire day, so he

    Jane returned to the private room, distracted.She sat down next to Cory. She looked at him as he reached his hand out to her in confusion.Cory furrowed his brows and asked unhappily, "Where's the wine?""Wine… Yes! Wine!" Jane came to her senses. She was just about to get up when Cory pulled her back.He grabbed her by her chin and forced her to look at him. "What happened when you went out?""N-Nothing."Cory tightened his grip. Jane furrowed her brows in pain. "I-I… I saw Yvonne. She told me that she and Stephen got remarried.""What?" Cory relaxed his grip a little. "They got remarried?""Hmm.""So, what?" He had no intention of letting her go, and he looked at her sharply. "Does it bother you so much that Stephen got remarried?"Jane looked at Cory frantically. "Cory, what do you mean by that?""What do I mean? You know what I mean."Cory went in closer. His tone turned icy. "You used to pursue Stephen. Now that you know he's gotten married, you're in this shitty mood

    Yvonne turned around to see Jane smiling at her ambiguously. She furrowed her brows. How were they always bumping into each other?Jane crossed her hands in front of her chest and leaned against the wall. She swept her gaze at Calbert and Otto. "Two guys and one woman. You sure know how to have fun!"Calbert instantly snapped, "What the hell are you talking about?""Why are you being so fierce? Did I hit the nail on the head?" Jane snickered. "Two guys and a woman came out of a private room in the middle of the night. Anyone would come to the same conclusion. We're all adults. There's no need to pretend to be innocent.""You—" Calbert was about to go up to Jane, but Yvonne stopped him."Since Ms. Ford is here, I'm guessing so is Cory?" Yvonne smiled, yet her smile didn't reach her eyes. "If you cause a scene here and this bar gets raided, guess who'll be the ones walking out here alive?"Jane's expression turned ugly. "Are you threatening me?""It's just a kind reminder." Yvon

    Calbert and Yvonne managed to track Otto's car to a bar, thanks to the information they'd gotten from his staff. Otto's car was right outside the bar.Calbert looked at the neon sign and furrowed his brows. "Why is Otto here? Did what Mrs. Carrington Senior said really hit him so badly that he has to drown himself in alcohol?"Yvonne said nothing and headed directly inside the bar."Wait up for me!" Calbert went after her. He subconsciously protected her from all the drunk patrons.The lighting in the bar was dim. Many of the patrons were drunk and having fun.Yvonne and Calbert walked around the booth area, but Otto was nowhere to be found. They pulled a server over to ask if there was a patron by the name of Otto Carrington who had reserved a private room.Coincidentally, the server had just taken two bottles of wine to Otto's room. So, he led them to the private room.Calbert tipped the server before opening the door and entering. The entire room reeked of alcohol.He looked

    After Agatha left, Otto stood in the same spot without moving.A long time later, Zac entered the office. He looked at Otto's back and asked quietly, "Mr. Carrington, will you still see the client?""No." Otto sounded heartbroken.Zac didn't dare ask further questions. He gently closed the door and reminded the secretary that no one was to disturb Otto.In the office, Otto was alone. He slowly walked over to the couch and slumped into it. His mind was in a mess."Alexander was the one who planned the kidnapping back then."Agatha's words rang in his mind for a long time.Alexander's young face appeared in Otto's mind, smiling at him affectionately."Otto! Amazing! Yes! Just like that!""You're amazing at badminton! You're going to make the country proud! I'm going to be so proud of you!""Otto, my son!"Memories of his interactions with Alexander flashed across his mind at that moment.Otto couldn't imagine that such a loving father would do such an absurd thing.
