As a result of Stephen's sudden announcement about his marriage, the meeting was adjourned before it had even begun.All the executives needed time to process the news. Even Yvonne needed time to get used to Stephen's sudden, unwarranted announcement.The moment they entered the office, Yvonne looked at Stephen in dismay. "Mr. Anderson, I'm really grateful to you for speaking on my behalf, but couldn't you have given me a heads-up beforehand? At least let me be mentally prepared."Stephen distractedly replied, "I'll pay attention to it the next time.""There is no next time!" Yvonne almost lost her temper. "Soon, this news will be spread through the entire Group. They will all know that I'm your…"Wife.Yvonne found it awkward to say the word out loud.She ground her teeth in fury. "Forget about it! It's pointless to cry over spilled milk right now."At that moment, a knock on the door interrupted their conversation.Yvonne walked past Stephen to open the door, only to see s
"To Beck and Call. I want to follow Calbert and look for Mark!"After Yvonne had gotten into the accident, Lloyd had asked Stephen if he could join Call and Beck. Stephen had been finding excuses to delay it, and Lloyd had waited patiently until that moment.Now that Yvonne had returned and he had also finished the mission Stephen had assigned him, it was time to get down to the real business.Seeing Stephen not say anything, Lloyd started to worry. "Mr. Anderson, you can't go back on your word!""Lloyd, Beck and Call isn't a place where you can go just on a whim." Yvonne furrowed her brows. "You can't go up against Mark with just brute force. I don't want anyone else to get hurt anymore, so—""Ms. Yvonne, I'd already made up my mind a long time ago. I know what sort of place Beck and Call is." Lloyd looked flustered. He was afraid that Yvonne and Stephen would find excuses to stop him from going again. "Gwen is gone, and Curtis is down. I can't just stay a coward forever, right
After that day, they no longer saw Lloyd. Yvonne got people to look for him in the headquarters a few times, yet no one could find him.In the end, Yvonne remembered what Stephen said.When she looked for Stephen, he was talking to Garrett and the others about work.When Garrett saw Yvonne, he enthusiastically greeted her. "Ms. Y, are you looking for Mr. Anderson?""Hmm." As Yvonne went closer, Harold lowered his head awkwardly. "Ms. Y, I was out of line when I said those things about you at the last meeting. I'm sorry. Please forgive me."Yvonne chuckled. "It's fine. I've already forgotten what you said."Harold looked up to see Yvonne smiling at him sincerely. He felt even more embarrassed.Stephen and Yvonne were married. He had overstepped by objecting to Yvonne. After the meeting, not only had Yvonne not made things difficult for him, but she had even given him space to leave with grace.Just based on this alone, her behavior was very different from how the past Principa
"Everyone shut up!" Lloyd bellowed. The audience quieted down at once. Everyone who frequented the boxing gym knew that Lloyd was like a maniac when he was in the ring.At first, some had wanted to challenge him because of the reward, but every one of them had been scared half to death by Lloyd's manic behavior.Besides, even if someone had managed to defeat Lloyd, he had continued to challenge them to a fight until he had defeated them to the ground.After some time, Lloyd had gained a reputation, and no one dared to mess with him anymore.That was why all Lloyd needed to do was glare at them to make them shut up.However, just as everyone was eagerly waiting for Lloyd to accept Yvonne's challenge, he took off his gloves and pleaded, "Ms. Yvonne, don't joke with me. How would I dare to fight you?"Everyone was baffled by his words. Was this the maniac that they knew?"It's fine. Fight me." Yvonne's expression was icy. She took the boxing gloves and stuffed them back into Lloy
"I…" Lloyd looked at Stephen for help. "Mr. Anderson, w-why don't you help me explain this?"Yvonne turned to look at Lloyd. "This is your business. Don't drag others into it." She deliberately threatened him, "If you don't come clean, I'll break your other rib to make it even."Lloyd immediately raised both hands in surrender. "Alright, alright. I'll tell you."Then, he told her about the stellar achievements he'd made in that boxing gym in the past six months. He even smugly raised an eyebrow. "Ms. Yvonne, aren't I great?""Nonsense!" Yvonne reached her hand out and knocked Lloyd on the head. "What's so good about fighting? All you do is get hurt, yet you're proud of it? You're wasting your life away."Lloyd clutched his head and retreated backward. "I don't have any other skills, so I can only rely on my fighting skills. If not, what else can I use to go up against Mark? I'm not as smart as you two…" He trailed off as he spoke.Yvonne was stunned. "You really want to look
Meanwhile, the Carringtons were gathered in the living area at Carrington Mansion."Grandma left with a whole team of bodyguards this morning. Does anyone know what she's doing?""I asked her, and she said she was going to give us a surprise. She was beaming. I've never seen her that happy before.""How strange. She even called all of us to come home in advance. I'm guessing she has something important to announce.""She's already so old. What could be so important that she needs to go through so much trouble?"While everyone was talking amongst themselves, Heidi arrived. "Why is Grandma looking for us?"Seeing Heidi looking annoyed, Martha asked curiously, "What is it? Did you have plans?""I just bought flight tickets yesterday. I was planning to go to Northerna City to get my ungrateful daughter back. Luckily, the flight is in the afternoon, so I still managed to come here."Heidi scanned the room and said, "Where is Grandma? Is she not here?""She left with a team of bodyg
Heidi turned around and smiled sheepishly at Otto. "Otto, what I meant was that I hope Edith will return home sooner. After all, it's a tough world out there. Everyone knows what your mother is like. I'm just worried she will suffer."Heidi tried to smooth things out by adding, "Otto, I'm going to Northerna City this afternoon. If you want, I can also help you talk to Edith—""There's no need for that," Otto said in a deep voice. "My mother is doing well for herself. None of you have to worry. Besides, I'm happy for her. She managed to find her true purpose in life at this age. That's more precious than anything. "After all, not everyone can be like her. Not everyone has the courage to start from scratch again."Otto's tone was calm, yet his words sounded like a slap on everyone's face.Heidi was speechless. Her expression became quite ugly. At this moment, a housekeeper came running in. "Mrs. Carrington Senior is back!"Everyone's attention finally turned to the huge door
Seeing Agatha lose her temper, someone finally said feebly, "Grandma, Daniel's son has been missing for so many years, and we haven't received any news."Paige's husband, Louis Carrington, furrowed his brows and mustered up the courage to say, "I'm sure you know as well. When the child went missing, he was a baby. Even the police said that his chances of surviving were very low.""Yes, Grandma. We all know what happened back then was a huge blow to you. You always wanted to help Daniel find his child." Paige looked a little distressed. "But we have to face reality. The world is so huge. It's not strange to find someone who looks like Daniel, even if they're not related. You can't determine that he's Daniel's child just based on his looks, right?""That's right." The others chimed in as well.Agatha was so furious that she chuckled. "Do you think I'm old and senile? Do you think I'll just pick someone up from the streets randomly and bring them home?""You're misunderstanding us.
