Jim was very furious. "Get lost! We are no longer mentor and mentee! Don't you dare talk to me about these things!"Yvonne patted Jim's back to comfort him when she saw him trembling with anger. "Grandpa, please calm down. Your health will get worse."But Jim wouldn't listen to her.He kept staring at Chuck. Yvonne had never seen such a look on Jim's face before.As far as she could remember, Jim had always been smiling. Even when he got angry, he would calm down very quickly. He had never been this angry. He looked like he could eat Chuck alive!Yvonne pulled a long face at Chuck. "Mr. Jensen, since you're not welcome here, please leave now."Chuck slowly took out his handkerchief and gently dabbed at his wet suit. "Sir Jim, your temper is still as fiery as ever. Won't you hear me out?""I have nothing to say to a traitor!"Jim was enraged and threw another glass at Chuck.This time, Gwen stood in front of Chuck to protect him. Even though she caught the glass in time, the
Seeing how angry Jim was, Yvonne didn't dare to agitate him further.She turned to Annie and apologized, "Ms. Long, I'm sorry about today."Annie smiled. "It's fine. We can meet again another day.""Okay," Yvonne responded, tugging on Jim's sleeves. "Grandpa, let's go. I'll explain it to you in the car."Jim got up without saying anything. He walked out of the room. Yvonne picked up her bag and quickly followed him.In the car, Yvonne told Jim about how Mark had made Gwen work for Chuck.Jim got angrier the more he heard. He said through gritted teeth, "That bastard is still as despicable as back then!"Yvonne sighed. "You know how important Gwen is to me. I can't leave her."Jim looked at her. "Is this why you kept asking me about my views on Well Spring? Because of her?"Yvonne nodded.Jim knocked on her head. "You silly girl! Why didn't you tell me about this earlier? If you had told me, I wouldn't have been so fierce with you over the phone."Yvonne scrunched her neck
"Chuck gave the results of our research to another medical company. He got a visa abroad and became one of the core members of that company."Jim smiled bitterly. "The funny thing was, he came to look for me even before he went abroad. He said that alternative medicine was in its twilight years and would soon be replaced. He wanted me to go with him."Did you know that the company he joined specialized in stealing other people's research? Then, they manufactured cheap medicine for sale. Later on, they even bought low-quality materials to reduce costs. "The medicine they created was terrible. They have no regard for human life! It was only ten years ago that this company was reported by a number of other companies, and then it went out of business!"Jim gritted his teeth and punched the car door. "They are just a band of thieves with no conscience!"Yvonne was sorry to see Jim so furious that he was shaking. She reached out and patted him on the back. "You left Northerna City ba
Anson looked at where Alvin was pointing. Sure enough, he saw Chuck, who had just entered, being swarmed by a group of reporters.Chuck was a legend in the medical field. On top of that, he had lived abroad most of the time. The reporters here had never gotten the chance to properly interview him.When they realized he was at the press conference, they couldn't pass up the opportunity to ask him some questions."Mr. Jensen, you have suddenly returned to the country. Is there something you'll be doing here? Does Well Spring Pharma have a new direction in the country?""Mr. Jensen, you're attending a press conference today. Are you interested in the two companies?"Questions came one after the other. Chuck smiled politely before releasing a piece of huge news. "The main reason for my return this time is because I want to work with Hope Health Services. Well Spring Pharma has been growing internationally. "But I have long wanted to return to the country to search for a bigger mar
With the media covering the event, Yvonne and Annie signed the contract. It was followed by rapturous applause and flashes from the cameras.Annie was so excited that she was at a loss for words. She grabbed Yvonne's hand tightly to show her gratitude. Excel Pharma had never had such a great moment in a long time! All the attention they had that day was thanks to Hope!Yvonne realized what Annie was thinking. She turned to say into Annie's ears, "This is what Excel Pharma deserves."Annie was stunned. She looked at Yvonne proudly and nodded. "Ms. Miller, don't worry. I won't disappoint you."Yvonne smiled.The reporters had decided to use the picture of them smiling at each other as their main photo.It was then time for the reporters to ask questions. The atmosphere was rather relaxed. Perhaps it was because they were both women, so the reporters didn't make things difficult for them or ask them hard questions.Half an hour later, the Q&A session ended. Everyone on stage than
In the end, Chuck chose to leave silently. Stephen was truly relieved when he saw Chuck leave.Yvonne looked at him. "Don't tell me; you came all the way here just to provoke Chuck Jensen.""You got it right." Stephen looked at Yvonne smugly. "I saw online that he was at the press conference.""Stephen, you're not a child anymore. Why—""If you think my actions are childish," Stephen went in closer and enunciated, "then, I am childish."Yvonne was at a loss for words. She nearly got lost in his charming eyes. She looked away and murmured, "You're a man-child."Annie was standing next to them. She took the chance to invite them. "Our company is having a celebration tonight. Since you're already here, Mr. Anderson, do you want to come as well?""Sure." Stephen was in a great mood, so he agreed to it quickly.Annie clapped her hands excitedly. "Amazing! I'll go make some arrangements!"After Annie left, Stephen casually asked Yvonne, "You seemed to be very hostile toward Ch
That night, the celebration party was filled with laughter. Yvonne had just finished greeting the guests and drinking with them. She found a quiet corner to eat.She had been busy the entire day and hadn't had a proper meal. Her stomach was burning badly, as she had just had two glasses of champagne.At that moment, Stephen walked over to her. He handed her a plate of food. "Have some food. It'll help with the alcohol."Yvonne accepted the plate and asked, "How did you know I was hungry?""I heard your stomach rumbling when I walked past you.""What?" Yvonne furrowed her brows. "Was it that bad?"Stephen chuckled. "Of course not. I just guessed that you probably didn't have much time to eat today."Yvonne rolled her eyes at Stephen. Then, she started to eat.Stephen stood next to her and casually mentioned, "After the press conference, things seemed to be abuzz.""Yes, I can imagine." Yvonne hadn't even had time to eat, let alone go on social media. She was just confident in
When the Long brothers heard Chuck mention that he wanted to speak to Jim alone, they immediately understood.Anson forcefully led Jim to the couch before leaving the room with Alvin. Before leaving, Anson added, "Mr. Jim, we'll be waiting outside. Let us know if you need any help."Jim sneered. They might seem polite, but in reality, they were warning him that they would be keeping watch outside and that he should be cooperative. Jim really wanted to see what nonsense Chuck could come up with!"Sir, have some tea." Chuck handed Jim a cup of tea. "It's your favorite."Jim didn't even look at it. He asked sternly, "Cut the crap. What do you want to say to me?""Since when did you have such a temper? I don't remember how you used to—""Shut up!" Jim slapped the table."I'm not here to catch up with you! Chuck, if you have any conscience at all, you should be kneeling in front of the research team members' graves, repenting for your mistakes! You ruined their hard work!""Si
