When Yvonne and Julian reached the hospital, they only saw Charles there.After learning about Philp's condition, Yvonne didn't speak for a very long time. All she thought of was the happy old man when she had met the very first time years ago.That cheerful man was quietly lying in bed in the ICU at that moment. His body was covered in tubes.Yvonne felt terrible.Charles walked over to her and said seriously, "Yvonne, I know you and Stephen are divorced. You have nothing to do with the Anderson family, but … but I can't think of anyone who could help. "Stephen grew up with his grandparents. Although he's a loner and not close to his family, he always knew that his grandfather liked him the most in the entire family."Stephen got where he is today all because of his grandfather. If it hadn't been for Father, Stephen wouldn't have become the president of Anderson Group at such a young age …"Charles slowly recounted how well Philip treated Stephen. Yvonne listened to him atte

Stephen's kiss was tender. It smelled like him and alcohol.Yvonne was baffled, but she didn't push him away. As the sun rose, warmth spread around them. Even the breeze became gentler.Without knowing it, Yvonne closed her eyes, feeling her heart beat wildly in excitement.When they started breathing heavily, Stephen finally let go of her. He looked into Yvonne's eyes and said in a charismatic voice, "How did you know I was here?"Yvonne was a little stunned. She looked like a deer caught in the headlights. She subconsciously tried to shove Stephen away.Unexpectedly, Stephen wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her in closer.Yvonne couldn't move. She glared at him. "You're doing this on purpose!"Stephen chuckled. "I did think I was dreaming at first, but after kissing you, I felt something was off." His body's reaction had been too real. He wasn't a child after all.Stephen lowered his head and leaned closer to Yvonne. "Yvonne, you didn't push me away. Can I assum

The police didn't get involved in the investigation of Philip's fall into the lake. No one knows if it had been an accident or if someone had done it on purpose.The internet maliciously speculated on a whole story of family drama. They said that Stephen insisted on remarrying Yvonne, ignoring Philip's objections. That made Philip angry, and he suspended Stephen's position as president. They said that Stephen tried to kill Philip because of his career and woman.Stephen already had a reputation for being ruthless. Hence, even if he'd really done this to Philip, no one would find it surprising.All these speculations cast a negative light on Anderson Group.Before Julian could come to his senses. Noah called him. Julian passed the phone to Stephen and said timidly, "Sir, a call from Mr. Noah."Stephen looked at the phone and thought, "Is he showing his true colors so quickly?"Stephen placed the phone by his ears to hear Noah saying anxiously, "Julian, where is Stephen? The sh

"Clearly, the person who benefits the most from this incident is Noah."Everyone was stunned when Stephen said that. No one understood what he meant.Mr. Lowenthal said with a darkened expression, "Cut to the chase. Stop beating around the bush."Stephen pulled a chair over and took a seat. He said calmly, "Everyone here knows how I am. I never do stupid things for someone else's benefit. I know my relationship with Grandpa the best. Why should I hurt him at such a time? Am I stupid or what?"Stephen raised an eyebrow. "Don't you think I would have expected a scenario like this today?"Noah's expression changed. He clearly understood what Stephen was trying to say. Mr. Lowenthal came to his senses too. He furrowed his brows and looked at Stephen. "Are you trying to say that someone is deliberately trying to frame you?""You called it, Mr. Lowenthal." Stephen smiled and calmly swept a glance at everyone."Whether Grandpa's fall was an accident or not, this person has used it

"What is it?" Yvonne asked.Charles looked at Philip in bed and asked silently, "I was hoping that you could transfer Father to the headquarters of Hope."Yvonne was a little confused. "Mr. Anderson Senior has just been resuscitated. Transferring him at this moment might be …""Please." Charles sounded determined.Yvonne furrowed her brows. "If you really insist. Give me some time, I—""This can't wait," Charles interrupted Yvonne. "I hope this will be done in the next two days.""But …" Just when Yvonne was still hesitating, she heard rustling sounds on the phone. It seemed like the phone was being passed to someone else.Soon, Conan's voice rang out. "Yvonne, I've already discussed it with my father. I'll deal with Grandpa's transfer. No one will blame you if anything happens. "I've also discussed it with Old Jim. He told me to ask for your permission. If you allow it, I'll arrange Hope's special transportation."Yvonne chuckled helplessly. "Conan, you've changed. You've

The next day, Yvonne personally checked up on Philip. She arranged the medical equipment and medication for the transfer.Everyone was worried about the transfer. Especially Philip's doctor. He looked at Yvonne getting busy worriedly and wanted to say something, but he hesitated.Charles had already told him about it before. If the family insisted on transferring the patient to another hospital, the doctors couldn't do anything to stop them.Moreover, the institution that Philip was being transferred to was the world-famous Hope Health Services.Whether it was the medical staff or service, it was top-notch. Perhaps Philip might have a chance of improving there.Right at this moment, Yvonne exited the ICU and walked over to Charles. "Mr. Anderson Senior's body is still weak. The transfer will be dangerous. You should discuss it with the family."Charles looked determined. "No. I call the shots. If anything happens, I'll bear the responsibility."Yvonne no longer tried to persuade

The police took the driver back to the station to be interrogated. It was too bad the driver was a tough one. He merely said that he was trying to cause trouble and that they should lock him up in prison if they could.That night, they did a blood test on him and detained him for drinking and driving.The next day, the police informed Charles of the situation. As Charles put the phone down, the other family members surrounded him.William rebuked, "Have you gone mad? Suddenly transferring Father to another hospital? If he was in that ambulance last night, do you think you could bear the responsibility?"You father and son are alike! One of you made Father so furious that he fell into the lake. The other insisted on transferring to another hospital. It's like you want him dead sooner!"Harry quickly stepped in. "William, calm down. Charles knows what he's doing. He must have his reasons.""What reasons could he have? He's just selfish! He wants to secretly transfer Father to Hop

Since Charles had been caught red-handed, he could only come clean to Stephen.Stephen's gaze darkened. "Have you ever thought that if this thing hadn't gone as planned, you might have dragged Yvonne, an outsider, into this as well?"Charles felt a little guilty, so he didn't dare look Stephen in the eyes. He said softly, "I really didn't know who else to ask for help other than Yvonne. Luckily, I went to her for help this time. She used to be part of Emerald Group. She knows how they work best—""I think you still haven't caught my drift." Stephen coldly interrupted. "No matter what, we should deal with our family matters on our own. You …""I know you're worried about Yvonne's safety, and you don't want to cause her trouble." Hearing what Charles said, Stephen paused for a while before saying, "Good. You know.""Stephen, since you still care about Yvonne so much, don't lose her again."Charles looked at Stephen and said seriously, "Yvonne's a great girl. She has helped us s

The Anderson family's fiasco had come to a standstill for the time being.Yvonne had spent some time working on Miller Jewels. Luckily, there wasn't much left to do. She had instructed Nicole on the most important things and reminded her to make sure the news was released on time to maximize exposure.After arranging for her work to be done, Yvonne decided to head to Emerald Group's headquarters three days earlier.Before she left, Yvonne talked to Elvin. She'd never thought that he would be used to her suddenly going on business trips. He even patted her on the shoulder and said, "Mommy, you go and get busy. I'll stay with Uncle Curtis and Uncle Lloyd."Yvonne didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She hugged Elvin. "As long as you take care of yourself, I’m more than happy."All these years, she hadn't been able to spend much time with Elvin since she was often away on business trips. When they had returned to Qynea, she had finally been able to spend all day with Elvin. She

Yvonne didn't say yes to Stephen. She snatched her luggage from him and glared at him."You're an outsider. You have no right to join the Annual Executive Meeting. Stop causing trouble for me," Yvonne said, leaving with Gwen.In the car, Gwen was just about to ask Yvonne about Stephen when Yvonne asked, "Have Claude and Leonard arrived?"Gwen was a little stunned. Then, she nodded. "They have been staying in the hotel, but the entire hotel has been booked. Emerald Group is guarding the hotel tightly. I don't think you can get in.""If I can't get in, I'll wait for them to come out." Yvonne leaned back. "I don't think Claude and Leonard are the type who can stay cooped up."…Sure enough, the next afternoon, Gwen told Yvonne about Claude and Leonard heading out to play golf. She even sent Yvonne the address for where they would be.Yvonne headed over to see them enter the golf course. She stopped right in front of them and smiled. "Leonard, Claude, it's been a long time."Leon
