Rage washed over Katie at that moment. She tried to lunge at Yvonne, completely ignoring the fact that she had an IV drip hooked to the back of her hand.Yvonne rose to her feet, nimbly avoiding Katie's attack. She watched as Katie collapsed to the floor heavily.Katie was unable to get up due to the intense pain flaring from her side. She could only glare up at Yvonne angrily. "Fuck you, Yvonne!"Yvonne just chortled in amusement. "It seems that you will never recognize your own faults in this lifetime."Katie slumped on the floor as though she were a lowly, filthy maggot. Yvonne could have easily inflicted more damage on her if she wanted to, but she wasn't interested in bullying the weak.She looked down at Katie, who was squirming on the floor. "You used to refer to me as your little sister. Back then, I refused to acknowledge this identity."Never would I have thought that I would voluntarily admit to being your sister just so I could sign the surgical consent form for you
The next day, Chuck heard the doorbell ring just as he was done with breakfast.He walked over to the monitor displaying the security footage at the front door. A frown graced his features instantly the moment he saw Yvonne and a group of men behind her on the screen.Soon, he concealed the hint of displeasure in his eyes. He made sure to wear a gentle smile before reaching out to open the door."What brings you here, Ms. Miller?"Chuck's gaze swept across the people standing behind Yvonne. "Oh, I see you brought some friends along! The more, the merrier, eh?"Yvonne couldn't be bothered to make small talk with Chuck. She got straight to the topic. "I've spent the past month or so tracking Gwen down. Based on the clues I dug up, I traveled all the way to the city in the Southwest Region, yet I was unable to find anything there."Chuck looked surprised. "Is that so? It seems that Ms. Hawk is adamant on avoiding you."Yvonne's brows twisted into a light frown. "We were able to f
Yvonne's lips curled into a smirk when she picked up on Chuck's silence. "It appears that you're still keeping in contact with Mark, Mr. Jensen. You two are definitely affiliated with each other in more ways than one."Chuck replied lightly, "Mark and I are merely business partners. Don't overthink it, Ms. Miller.""Really, now? You're already asking for medicine on his behalf. This shows how much you truly care about him. Do you really expect me to believe that you two are just 'business partners'?"Yvonne put down her teacup before leaning leisurely against the back of her chair. "I specifically crafted the drowsy incense for Mark in the past. Now that I think about it, it's been a year since I last gave him some incense. He must have run out by now."She clicked her tongue softly. "It seems that he doesn't want to make the request in person because he's worried that I might threaten him with the supply. That's why he had you do it in his stead, right?"Or perhaps … he has f
That evening, Stephen drove Elvin back to Miller Villa. When he spotted the sullen look on Lloyd's face, he asked, "What happened?"Lloyd shook his head in response. "Nothing. We went to Chuck's place this morning, but we couldn't find anything there. I just feel annoyed, that's all.""Seriously, Lloyd. You've been gloomy the whole day." Yvonne's amused voice drifted from behind Lloyd.Stephen looked at her, a small smile now playing on his lips. "Are you done with your business?""I wanted to call you at first, but then I remembered that I would get to see you once El is done with school for the day. I might as well save my phone credits for another day."Yvonne then giggled. "Would you like to stay for dinner?""Sure thing."Seeing as Stephen had agreed to the offer instantly, Julian raised his hand as well. "Ms. Miller, may I have a spot at the table as well?""No problem. Come on in."Yvonne led the group into the villa.While Stephen busied himself with preparing the ing
Chuck smiled at Yvonne as he walked into the office. "Hello, Ms. Miller," he said in greeting.Yvonne leaned against her desk, a piece of paper trapped between her fingers. "This is the formula of the drowsy incense that you want, Mr. Jensen."Pleased, Chuck reached out to grab the formula.Unexpectedly, Yvonne curled her fingers instantly, thus balling up the paper in her palm. Naturally, Chuck failed to grab the formula.A glint of anger appeared in his eyes. "What are you doing, Ms. Miller?""I suddenly remembered something," Yvonne stated while pretending to look curiously. "I heard that Mark came to Northerna City. Did he personally come here just to visit you? Did he ask you any questions related to Gwen?""He visited you as well?" Chuck asked instinctively.Yvonne just smiled. "It seems that Mark did ask you about Gwen."Since Mark was a Principal, he kept himself updated with the allocation of human resources within Emerald Group.During this period, Yvonne had arran
Over the following week, Yvonne didn't hear back from Chuck after their meeting.Her men reported back to her during this period of time. None of them could spot anything out of the ordinary. Chuck would either work at home or attend business gatherings. Other than that, all seemed fine.Left without a choice, Yvonne could only wait patiently for the day when Chuck would either fess up or screw up.At the same time, she also caught wind of the news involving Noah and Katie. Rachel had excellent sources when it came to gossip in the upper echelons of society. Apparently, Noah had whisked Katie out of the hospital and into City Hall to divorce her.Katie kept screaming while kicking up a fuss in City Hall the whole time. In the end, a few of Noah's bodyguards had to hold her down and force her to sign the divorce papers.Once the procedure was done, Noah left City Hall swiftly after ditching Katie at the entrance.Rachel exaggerated the details and made the story extremely dram
Yvonne grabbed the documents from Rachel's hands. A similar look of astonishment took over her features the moment she laid her eyes on the contents."You're giving me 50% of Anderson Group's shares?"Those shares were worth hundreds of billions of dollars!It was no wonder Rachel suddenly looked so shocked. Yvonne had literally received a treasure trove, after all.Stephen's calm expression was in stark contrast to the women's shock. "You deserve the reward. Grandpa said you're the one who saved his life. Isn't his life as valuable as the shares?"Besides, Grandpa confiscated these shares from Noah. You helped us out big time, so you should accept the gift no matter what.""Well …" Yvonne frowned in response. "That's not it. You can't give me something this valuable."Stephen replied coolly, "I won't accept things that I've given away. The decision is final.""He's right!" Rachel thrust the empty folder into Yvonne's hands. "Stephen came all the way here just to give you
Noah shot back with a chuckle, "You wouldn't have been able to establish this company without my money in the first place. "Katie Jones, it's in your best interests to not jog my memory about the origins of this company."The sight of the cruel glint in Noah's eyes terrified Katie greatly. She released her hold on his wrist before stumbling backward hastily."Noah, y-you can't do this to me—""Then, pray tell, what should I do to you?"Noah started approaching Katie while snarling out, "When we were still married, you cheated on me with another man. Not to mention, you also caused irreversible damage to my physical constitution. "The fact that you committed those crimes is a good enough reason for me to kick you out without a penny to your name!"We've already gotten our divorce certificates, Katie. There's no need to take the conflict regarding our division of assets to court. You'd better get lost right now if you still have an ounce of rationality in you."The moment Noah
