Yvonne didn't notice Stephen's unwavering stare at her until they left the shipping container. She turned around and looked at him with a frown. "Can you stop staring at me? Do you want me to stab you too?""Did you come here for me?" he asked. Yvonne rolled her eyes at him. "Don't overthink it. I came here to appease my conscience." She glanced at the shipping container and diverted the topic. "You don't even know how to deal with such people, yet you came here alone. Do you have a death wish? "Your typical business approach doesn't work on ruffians like Dylan. Using violence from the start will end things way faster and easier."When Yvonne had been on her way here earlier, Howard had roughly filled her in on what kind of person Dylan was. That was why she had chosen to act so aggressively. However, that had been a risky move. Although it seemed like she had asserted authority over Dylan, they still needed to see if further problems would arise in the future. As she thoug
Reluctantly, Yvonne opened the door. She leaned against the door frame and stretched out her legs, showing no intention of letting him in. "What's the matter?" she asked lazily."I forgot to ask you how you knew that I was at the border." His voice was soft as he looked straight into her eyes."I saw Noah. He spoke a lot and inadvertently made me realize something," Yvonne said briefly, pulling a long face. "I've known Mark for a long time, and I understand him better than you do. There's no way you'll gain any advantage by making a deal with him. You've seen it yourself. Even if Mark requested shares from you, he isn't genuinely interested in collaborating. "He's aiming for complete control of Anderson Group and a person he can manipulate. Currently, Noah fits the bill perfectly."Hearing that, Stephen frowned slightly. "El told you?""Yes." Yvonne sneered. "He's my son, so naturally he's on my side. Why would he listen to you? Mr. Anderson, it's amusing that you would actuall
Someone had stabbed Stephen in the back with a knife. Thankfully, it didn't hurt any vital parts of his body, so he wasn't in much danger.Meanwhile, there weren't any fire incidents at the hotel. Someone had deliberately triggered the alarm system. They had done it in the surveillance cameras' blind spot and then blended into the crowd. Hence, no clues could be found in the surveillance footage. Yvonne relayed the information she received to Stephen, who was lying on the bed. "It's hard to say whether the person who activated the siren is the same one who hurt you." She sighed softly."It's going to be hard to track them down, isn't it?" Stephen asked nonchalantly.Yvonne cast a look at the bandage around his waist. A hint of killing intent glinted across her eyes. "Not really."She had just stabbed Dylan in the morning, and someone had sought to harm her at night. It was possible that this was Dylan's revenge on her. "Hmm?" Stephen looked at her with a probing gaze.Yvon
"I was tempted ..." Dylan swallowed nervously and explained, "Not long after you left yesterday, a man came over and gave me a huge sum of money. He asked me to send someone to the hotel ..." He continued, "At that time, I was furious. That man said he could teach you a lesson. Also, the money he offered was just too much. My greed got the better of me, so I asked one of my men to go with him." Dylan stole a glance at Yvonne and asked softly, "Did something happen?"Yvonne was so angry that she slapped his head. "You didn't know anything, yet you had the guts to send your man over?"Dylan covered his head with his hands."I was too blinded by anger. That subordinate of mine hasn't returned until now, and I can't reach him either. Considering that I've lost one of my people too, can you please spare me this time?" For a long time, Dylan didn't dare raise his head to look at Yvonne. Deep down, he was extremely frustrated. It had never occurred to him that he would one day be c
In order to suppress the fluttering feeling in her heart, Yvonne deliberately avoided Stephen for a week. During this time, she heard from Howard that Dylan had visited Stephen in the hospital with various gifts and signed the contract on the spot. Not only that, but he had also acknowledged Stephen as his boss. Yvonne found it amusing just imagining the scene. It seemed that Dylan was still quite sensible. After she'd left the shipping container that day, Yvonne had pieced everything together, from the conflict between Stephen and Dylan to Dylan's subordinate attacking Stephen. It wasn't difficult to find out who the mastermind behind this entire scheme was. Regardless of whether the assassination succeeded, there was already a scapegoat for it—Dylan. As Yvonne thought about it, the first person who came to mind was Mark. After all, he loved playing lowly tricks behind the scenes. Stephen had stepped into Mark's trap the moment he agreed to come to the border.…Meanw
Before Yvonne could react, a large crowd of paparazzi rushed over to them. "Mr. Anderson, Ms. Miller, did the two of you return from abroad together using the private plane?""Did you go abroad to strengthen your bond? When can we expect good news from you?"Hearing the barrage of questions directed at them, Yvonne felt her head throb.On the contrary, Stephen was very calm. He glanced around and said, "I'm not a public figure. I could legally sue you for invading my privacy and disrupting my personal life. If you persist and don't step aside, you won't be getting a mere warning, but rather a lawyer's letter from Anderson Group."As soon as he finished speaking, he grabbed Yvonne's hand and walked away from the crowd domineeringly. When Yvonne got into the car, she came to her senses and shoved Stephen's hand away. "What's with the paparazzi? How did they know we would be coming back today?"They had returned on Stephen's private plane, and very few people knew about their
Noah was taken aback for a moment before he smiled. "You got back fast."Noah had heard the rumors about Stephen and Yvonne on his way to work just now. However, he hadn't expected to see Stephen as soon as he entered his office.Noah walked closer and pretended to be concerned about him. "You just arrived at Northerna early in the morning. Why aren't you resting at home?" "If I rest, Anderson Group is probably going to get out of control." Stephen's voice was cold. "I'd already rejected the East City project at the meeting, yet you still had the guts to launch it. Do you have the final say in Anderson Group now?" "It wasn't just my idea alone. The decision was made based on votes. If you have an opinion on this, feel free to call the shareholders over to talk about it," Noah replied with disdain. "As the president of Anderson Group, instead of focusing on major projects, you busy yourself with the minor ones, like the dock development. Do you think the shareholders are fine
In Anderson Mansion, the sound of ceramic shattering resonated through the living room. It was so loud that it startled the birds perched on the trees. Philip had lost his temper as soon as he'd listened to the recording on the pen recorder. Breaking the antique vase wasn't enough to vent his anger. He took another ornament and threw it fiercely at Noah. Noah didn't dodge. He furrowed his brows in pain.Pointing at Noah, Philip seethed angrily."Noah, you're the elder cousin, and I had always thought of you as a good kid. It never occurred to me that you would seek to harm Stephen! "You're such a disappointment! If the public were to find out how hard both of you are fighting over the position, our family would be ridiculed! I've said this many times before!" Philip had always known that Noah was also interested in becoming president of Anderson Group. However, Noah had never explicitly expressed his ambitious thoughts to him, so Philip had never asked him about it either.L
