Kendrick took the book off his face and sat up. He sized Yvonne carefully and said doubtfully, "Young lady, how old are you? How could you be the one who saved my life?""You don't believe me?" Yvonne turned to say to Jim, "Grandpa, show him the surgery footage from back then."Jim frantically said, "Okay.""Hold up," Kendrick called out after Jim. After thinking for a while, he said, "There's no need. I believe you." Kendrick trusted Jim's reputation at Hope Health Services. Yet … was this young lady in front of him really that amazing?Kendrick stood up and asked coldly, "Why are you telling me this now?" He had been searching for this answer for many years, yet Yvonne had brought it up so casually. It was hard for him not to be suspicious. "Do you want me to do something for you?"Yvonne shook her head and explained, "Grandpa didn't tell you previously because I had personal reasons, and it wasn't a good time for me to reveal my identity back then. "Now that I've de
"I won't see them," Kendrick declined without giving it any thought. He was a man of integrity. Since he had worked with Mark for a long time, he would not be involved with anyone else from Emerald Group.Furthermore, he also knew that the Principals didn't see eye to eye. He didn't want to get himself involved. Suddenly, a thought came to his mind. "Emerald Group has a new Principal, right?"The person on the other end of the line replied, "Yes, it happened a long time ago. Apparently, the Principal is a lady. "She's rather young. Her name in Emerald Group is called Ms. Y. Her real name is Yvonne Miller."Kendrick immediately recalled the person Jim had introduced to him a moment ago. The boss behind Hope Health Services. Yvonne Miller.How interesting. That young lady was actually one of the Principals. No wonder she hadn't been afraid of him at all when she had talked to him. His gaze turned mischievous. Something exciting was about to happen in Emerald Group.…Soon,
"I beg you, please don't harm our daughter. She's only 16 years old. She's innocent …" The woman pleaded with tears running down her face."Of course, I know she's innocent. Which is why I didn't make things difficult for her. But …" Jane kept her phone. "It's up to you what you want to do next.""We'll do whatever you ask us to do!" The woman immediately agreed to do Jane's bidding.The man tugged at his wife. "That man isn't one to be messed with. We …""Don't worry. Since I'm entrusting you two with this task, I'll make sure that you don't have to worry about the rest. "As long as you can bring Jade to me, I'll immediately arrange for you two to be sent out of the country. You'll stay as far away from that man as possible."Jane raised an eyebrow. "How does that sound?"The man was a little swayed. "Do you promise?""Of course. Why should I lie to you?" Jane waved her phone at them. "You two need to remember what I have in my hands. "If you dare to pull any dirty tric
The next day, Yvonne had nothing to do, so she practiced at the shooting range near Hope's headquarters.She had just finished a round when someone teased her from behind, "A Principal of Emerald Group with such terrible marksmanship? The horror."Yvonne turned around to see Kendrick looking at her coldly. She was a little stunned. "How did you know my other identity?""You don't have to know how I know." Kendrick walked over to the spot next to Yvonne's. He swiftly assembled his gun, even without looking down.Yvonne was bewildered. To her, Mark's assembling skills were the quickest. Seeing Kendrick at work at that moment, she realized he definitely surpassed Mark's speed.After assembling his gun, Kendrick aimed at the moving target. He shot all his shots without blinking. Every single shot was a bull's eye!Yvonne was extremely stunned. No human could possibly do that! It was as if the gun was part of him. "W-Who are you?" Yvonne furrowed her brows. "An assassin? Or a mercen
That night, Yvonne was reading some documents when she received a message from Stephen. She put the papers down and started to chat with him.They chatted a lot about everything, from Elvin to Hope. Yvonne also casually mentioned Kendrick Beck to Stephen. "I met an interesting guy in the recovery department. He's very mysterious."Stephen's eyes darkened a little when he saw this message. Yvonne had only been back for a short while, yet she was already interested in some guy?After a moment of thought, he replied, "What do you mean by that?""He got himself admitted into Hope with a fake identity. When I asked him about his real identity, he didn't want to tell me, no matter what. "He even looked me up. He said he could give me the entire Emerald Group if I wanted."Ever since Yvonne came back from the shooting range, she had been wondering if there was something wrong with Kendrick. After all, his words were too random.However, Stephen was unaware of Yvonne's thoughts. In
Three days later, Jim organized a birthday banquet for Yvonne. He invited all the employees from the headquarters.After three rounds of drinks, Jim was in high spirits. He stood up with Yvonne and announced, "Ms. Miller is finally stepping into the spotlight. "In the future, everyone should cooperate more with her to take Hope Health Services to greater heights!"There was a round of applause after his speech, including words of blessing in different languages. Yvonne saw that Jim was as happy as a lark, so she had a toast with him. "Let's all work hard together."Jim wanted to drink more but was stopped by Yvonne.She reminded him in a low voice, "Grandpa, you can enjoy yourself, but you shouldn't drink too much.""It's fine! I'm happy! This is the perfect occasion to drink."Jim pushed Yvonne's hand away and finished his wine in one go, which led to another round of applause.Outside the lively crowd, Kendrick leaned against the door with a cigarette dangling from his mou
Kendrick sneered coldly upon hearing Stephen's words. "I don't think living openly and honestly is a good thing, though. You might not even know how you end up dead."Stephen remained silent. Kendrick seemed to have the same vibe as Mark. However, Kendrick's was accompanied by a bold, murderous intent.Men like that were usually wild and dangerous.Kendrick turned to Yvonne. "Think about what I told you at the shooting range. I wasn't kidding, and it definitely isn't a trap. "I don't like owing anybody, let alone someone who saved my life. I'll be sure to repay your kindness."Then, Kendrick glanced at Stephen with a hint of sarcasm in his gaze and turned to leave.Stephen stared at Kendrick's receding back with a livid face.Yvonne quickly pulled Stephen's arms back. She could more or less figure out what was going on. Yet she found it amusing and couldn't help but laugh. "Stephen, please tell me you didn't purposely fly over because you thought there was something between
Once the call was connected, Mark asked, "Where are you now?""What's up?"Kendrick wound down the window and lit a cigarette in his mouth."I'm just curious. You always disappear for a period of time every year, and no one can find you. This year, you seem to have been gone for longer. "How much longer are you planning to hide?" Mark asked with a dark look."I'm an old man now. I like my peace."Kendrick exhaled a mouthful of smoke, which blurred his face. "I'm not under Emerald Group. Just focus on doing business with me. Don't ask about other things that don't concern you.""I thought we were more than business partners. I thought we were brothers. You break my heart, Kendrick."Kendrick snorted. "I may believe it if you weren't the one telling me all this. Quit this bullshit. Every part of you is fake anyway. "I'll be back in a few days. We can talk then."Kendrick hung up with a dark look in his eyes.If Yvonne hadn't been in the picture, he would have told Mark about
