Chapter 699 There Was Still a Place for Him

Author: Bambina Unica
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

    "Did you hand over the shares because of Yvonne?" Philip said sternly, "Stephen, I'm not interfering in your marriage, but if you really cause harm to Anderson Group's profit because of her, don't blame me for doing what I have to do."Stephen was silent. He understood what Philip meant. Up until that point, Philip still trusted him. If not, Philip wouldn't have just let him off with a warning and not asked him to get the shares back.Stephen looked at Philip with some respect in his eyes. "Grandpa, I won't let you down." Philip chuckled helplessly. "You can stop with the ass-licking. Just don't piss me off so often."Meanwhile, Noah gave Mark a call as he left Anderson Mansion. "I've been duped by Stephen. Grandfather knows about everything now."Noah looked ahead with a vicious gaze. "He said he wouldn't agree to it, and I can dream of returning to the Anderson Group."Mark chuckled nonchalantly. "Are you trying to ask me to help you? That old man can't disagree if he's de

    The rain lasted for two whole days. Even though they had searched every inch of the city, they couldn't find Britney anywhere.The last location of her watch was in the alley behind her kindergarten. Stephen's men found the watch in the bin. Not a single fingerprint had been left on it.Britney seemed to have vanished into thin air under this heavy rain.When Linda heard about it, she passed out in Stephen's arms. The moment she came around, she grabbed Stephen's hand and sobbed, "Stephen, you must help me look for Britney. She must come back in one piece. It must be Aston. It must be him …"Linda shuddered in terror. "I knew he wouldn't let me go that easily. Has he found out that Britney is his daughter? Stephen, do you think he would exact revenge on me by hurting Britney? It's all my fault. I shouldn't have given birth to her. I deserve to die."Linda lost it. She hugged her head and cried loudly.Stephen furrowed his brows. He tried hard but couldn't find the words to co

    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.

    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.
