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
Half an hour later, Yvonne met Jim at the entrance of the hall. She immediately went up to him. "Grandpa, where have you been? I asked Ms. Long, and she said you had arrived a long time ago."Jim was still a little disoriented. He looked at Yvonne in a daze for a while before coming to his senses. "I—I was in the bathroom. I'm old. There are things that just take time."Yvonne furrowed her brow and sized Jim up. "You don't look too well. Are you hiding something from me?""What?" Jim suddenly remembered what Chuck had told him. "You can't let Yvonne know about this. If not, Mark would easily get suspicious."Seeing Jim in a daze, Yvonne went in closer. "Grandpa, what happened?"Jim pushed Yvonne away. He avoided her gaze and said curtly, "You silly girl! Must you make me spell out that I'm constipated? Since when have you seen a constipated person looking well?"Yvonne smiled. "You have a point.""Alright. Aren't we here for a party? Why are you stopping me from entering?"
Chuck smiled at Tate. "Hello."Tate furrowed his brows a little and looked at Anson and Alvin. They were just good for nothing. How had they come to know the boss of Well Spring Pharma?Anson could guess what Tate was thinking. He smiled and explained, "Dad, when we found out that Mr. Jensen had returned to the country, we wanted to see if we could seize the chance for Excel Pharma. So we contacted him. "Mr. Jensen is a really great person. Not once has he ever looked down on Excel Pharma as a small business. He even plans to work with us!"Tate was surprised. He looked at Chuck once more. "Mr. Jensen, is it true?"Chuck nodded. "Yes, your sons are capable. They got me interested in Excel Pharma."Tate couldn't believe what he was hearing. His sons were useless pieces of trash to him. Why were they really capable in Chuck's eyes?"Dad, did you hear? Mr. Jensen praised us!" Alvin raised his eyebrow smugly. He even looked at Annie provocatively and said, "We couldn't delive
After the party, Stephen offered to drive Yvonne and Jim back to Miller Villa.In the car, Jim's gaze toward Stephen changed. He smiled at him and praised him. "Good kid! I'm really happy with what you did today!"Thanks to Stephen, he had seen Chuck at a complete loss and unable to retort. The anger he had accumulated for a while had dissipated too."As long as you're happy." Stephen looked at Jim through the rearview mirror and said, "It seems like you don't like Chuck either."Yvonne was about to respond when Jim held her hand. "Yes, he isn't a good person." Jim narrowed his eyes. He instructed seriously, "When you see him in the future, don't let him off the hook so easily."Stephen didn't ask any further questions. He nodded. "Okay."Jim was even more delighted with Stephen now. He went in closer to Yvonne's ear and said softly, "I'll agree to you two being in a relationship. This kid is great."Yvonne was stumped. How was Jim so easily bought?…Katie returned home
During lunch the next day, Katie woke up from her nap in shock. She was a little in a daze. She still remembered how terrifying Noah had looked last night. He had even asked her why her abdomen was still flat when she had been pregnant for two months.Suddenly, a knock came on her door, making her jump. She sat up. "Who is it?""Ms. Jones, it's me." It was Finlay.Katie sighed in relief. "Come in."Finlay entered with a muffin in his hand. He looked as pale as a sheet.Katie looked at him. "What happened?"Finlay placed the muffin in front of Katie and said timidly, "Ms. Jones, M—Mr. Noah sent this over."Katie furrowed her brows. "Why is he here?""H—he said that you seemed busy recently, so he came over to have a look. One of your secretaries said that you were taking a nap, so he didn't disturb you. He dropped this off and left."Finlay didn't know whether he was hallucinating because of his guilty conscience or perhaps Noah was onto him. It seemed like Noah had been
In the CEO's office at Anderson Group, eight employees had been tied up. One of them was lying flat on the floor. His head was placed on top of an indoor golf mat.That employee was trembling. A bodyguard stepped on his back hard and warned, "Don't move!"Stephen had just finished looking at some documents. He looked up at the employee on the floor and asked casually, "So you're one of Noah's men?""N—no. We are all employees of Anderson Group. W—we are your men," he replied nervously.Stephen sneered. "What you say is quite right." He placed the documents down and headed toward the employees. "Do all of you think so too?""Yes! Yes!" They nodded fervently, not daring to look Stephen in the eye. At that moment, Stephen was more terrifying than the devil himself.Stephen picked up a golf club and said slowly, "If all of you knew that you worked for Anderson Group, why would you ruin the peace at the office? "Since you were not instructed by anyone to do so, that means you were
