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
That afternoon, Julian accompanied Stephen to pick Elvin and Britney up.The moment Elvin got in the car, Stephen immediately showed off his coding to Elvin. Elvin looked at him and asked suspiciously, "You've done it so quickly?""Yes," Stephen said calmly. "Do you need me to explain in detail?""No need." Elvin ran the program and coolly praised him. "Not bad. You've improved quickly.""It's nothing," Stephen replied."Dad is the best!" Britney happily yelled. She leaned over to kiss Stephen on the cheek.Stephen pulled her into his arms and looked at her dotingly. "Of course. There is nothing your dad can't do."Elvin furrowed his brows at this scene. He didn't know why, but he was annoyed. He climbed into his seat and looked out of the window, ignoring everyone.Julian was in the driver's seat. Stephen was never the pretentious type when it came to business. But Julian never would have thought that he would do that with the children.Stephen sent Elvin back to Miller V
"I've given it a lot of thought recently. My grudge against Chuck Jensen is all in the past. It shouldn't affect you or Hope Health Services. "Besides, Gwen is with Chuck, right? If the collaboration doesn't come through, who knows what Mark will do to her?"Jim sighed. "Back then, Gwen was the one who took you away. She took care of you at Emerald Group for so many years. How could you not pay her back? "I might be old, but I'm not unreasonable. I don't want to make things difficult for you, so do what you want to do."Yvonne furrowed her brows when she heard this. "But your grudge against Chuck—you can't just let it go. How could I disregard your feelings?""I'm fine," Jim said, pretending to be casual about it. "I have one foot in the grave. What's there to be petty about?""Grandpa, don't say that." Yvonne felt sorry. She held Jim's hand. "Be honest with me. What made you change your mind? Did Chuck talk to you privately?"Jim shook his head. "No. He would never dare
The next afternoon, Chuck arrived on time. He took his seat and asked Yvonne with a smile, "How rare of you to ask to meet me. I wonder if you've given our collaboration any thoughts?"Yvonne said icily, "Did you look for Grandpa privately?"Chuck pretended to be surprised. "Me? Looking for Sir Jim? As if I haven't had enough of his scolding."Yvonne looked at Chuck suspiciously. She had never had a read on him since the first time they had met.Chuck openly let Yvonne size him up. He even picked up his pot of tea. He asked casually, "From your question, does that mean that Sir Jim got you to come and talk to me about the collaboration?"Yvonne remained silent.Chuck poured the tea and gave Yvonne a cup. "Am I right?"Yvonne could see the mischief in his gaze. Her eyes instantly darkened. "I'll agree to the collaboration, but I'll be in charge of this project. You can't in any way go and look for Grandpa.""Of course. How would I dare to look for him?" Chuck was delighted
