Chuck's death was a relief to all the women who had once been his victims.Many of them stood up and exposed Chuck for the violent things he had done to them. Everyone condemned Chuck so badly, as if they wanted to lynch him alive."Chuck is a monster! He might have seemed like a good guy, but he secretly tortured women!""Chuck got off easy by dying in a car crash! He should have been tortured to death!""I will not buy any products from Well Spring Pharma from today on."Just like that, everyone boycotted Well Spring Pharma.The next day, when the market opened, Well Spring Pharma's shares took a deep plunge. Seeing this, the company's executives panicked. No one would have thought that trouble would have come knocking on their door one after the other!The situation was so dire that no one dared to talk about Chuck's funeral.Chuck had once been a legend in the medical industry, yet he had ended up being condemned and despised by everyone even after his death.A few days
Kendrick smiled ambiguously. "Leonard, you've been so sincere. How could I let you down?"Leonard smiled in response, but he secretly grumbled to himself. Kendrick was one tough person to please. First, Kendrick had him get rid of Chuck. Now, he had to give Well Spring Pharma to Yvonne.He suddenly had a thought. He looked at Kendrick with more intent. Had Well Spring Pharma been Kendrick's target right from the beginning?Looking at where things stood at that moment, Yvonne had come out as the winner without any effort!Kendrick seemed to have noticed. He asked, "Why are you looking at me like that?""N-Nothing …" Leonard hesitated. "I was just thinking about how well you're treating Yvonne. She has gotten lucky by saving you."Kendrick cleared his throat. "You're wrong. I was the lucky one to have met her. If not, I wouldn't be sitting right here right now and talking to you."Then, Kendrick raised his glass. "Let's stop talking about her. Let's get back to our business."
Stephen gently chuckled. He could more or less guess what devious thoughts were running around Yvonne's mind.Leonard and Claude had both invested in Well Spring Pharma. If it ended up in Yvonne's hand, it would be strange if Claude didn't jump at that thought and cut ties with Leonard.Acquiring Well Spring Pharma was equivalent to driving a wedge between Claude and Leonard.Stephen thought about the things that happened recently. He suddenly realized that everything had happened too easily. It was as if someone was behind this, making it all happen. Before he could think more about it, Yvonne's voice pulled him back to reality. "I'm sure you've seen the news recently, right?"Yvonne furrowed her brows and grumbled a little, "Why didn't you check in on me? Were you really that busy?""Hmm. I was busy dealing with Mark."Yvonne was a little stunned. "Did Mark really look for you? Did he cause you any trouble?"Stephen shook his head and smiled. "If he had really done something
On Saturday evening, Yvonne made her way to the restaurant using the GPS. She drove past the bustling city and into a quiet alley.She made sure three times that she wasn't in the wrong place before driving forward once more until she saw the restaurant's lit-up sign. She mused to herself, wondering if the restaurant had any business given its location.As she turned into the restaurant, she saw the spacious courtyard for cars to park in. The restaurant was brightly lit.She got out of the car and handed her keys to the valet before walking into the restaurant in her high heels.At that moment, she realized that, other than the staff, there wasn't a single customer.The only person who caught her attention was the man making drinks by the bar. He was in a silk shirt with his sleeves rolled up. He looked extremely skilled at making cocktails.He seemed to have noticed Yvonne's gaze. While catching the shaker in mid-air, he looked at her. "Are you Ms. Miller?"Yvonne came to her
"If you had said it during the call, I would have helped you," Otto chimed in. He looked at Yvonne with a smile. "That's my promise to Kendrick. If anyone receives his black card and makes the call, I grant them a wish."Yvonne was astonished. So he really was a genie!Otto seemed to have read her mind. He smiled even wider. "Yes, you can call me a genie.""Otto's ancestors were aristocrats and generations of businessmen. After the war in their country, they relocated abroad and lived a life of seclusion. He no longer holds any title in his country."Kendrick continued, "But he has wealth most countries would be jealous of. He also has contacts all over the world. That's why there is basically no problem with him doing something that's legal."Yvonne regretted it. "Why didn't you tell me about such a good offer earlier?""I had already told you how to use the card. You're the one who wasted a chance. Why are you blaming me?"Kendrick gave Otto a glance. "He's not very generous
After Yvonne left, Otto finally came out of a dark corner."Ms. Miller doesn't seem like a person who is easy to fool. She won't trust you so easily."Otto continued, "Why didn't you tell her that you had helped her with Well Spring Pharma? Perhaps it would have helped her trust you more.""I'm just doing what I should do. I'm not asking for any credit. Besides, I don't need trust. I just want to do what I want to do with a clear conscience."Otto smiled. "You haven't changed one bit."Kendrick looked at him. "You neither. You're still annoying."Otto smiled but said nothing.Kendrick suddenly asked, "Judging by the way you treat her, it seems like you have a good impression of her, don't you?""Hmm. She's a smart and courageous woman. It's rare to see someone like her." Otto looked at the door. "I'm a little persuaded.""Only just a little?" Kendrick said more seriously, "I'm telling you, Yvonne can definitely become the only Principal of Emerald Group with my help. If yo
The day before she left, Yvonne deliberately made some time to visit Jade.When she arrived at the garden, she saw Jade sitting under a tree in the distance, reading stories to children. It was a lovely scene to behold.After Howard's funeral, Jade had cried for an entire night. The following day, she had resumed as if nothing had happened. Not only was she properly getting her treatment, but she also helped the nurses out from time to time.It seemed as if Jade had woven a tough cocoon around herself in one night, hiding all her fragility and grief inside."Aren't you going to go there?" Stephen asked.Yvonne came to her senses. She shook her head. "It's fine just like this.""Are you afraid that you would remind her of Howard?" Stephen looked at Yvonne. "You shouldn't blame yourself for Howard's death—"Yvonne snickered bitterly, interrupting Stephen's words."Jade is still young. She shouldn't grow up with hatred and grudges on her shoulders. I'll help her deal with all
That afternoon, the new boss held an executive meeting.Before it was time for the meeting, the meeting room was already filled with a crowd. Everyone was discussing amongst themselves.Ten minutes later, when the meeting doors opened, the room fell into pin-drop silence.Dressed in a business suit, Yvonne walked directly over to the head of the table. She said with a smile, "Hello, everyone. I'm Yvonne Miller, your new boss."The meeting room broke out in an uproar. Everyone was bewildered. "A-Are you joking?""Am I dreaming? Our rival has become our boss? How absurd is this?"Hearing their comments, Yvonne smiled. "It is indeed quite absurd, but it's the truth."Then, she announced, "Now that Well Spring Pharma is in my hands, I will merge it with Hope Health Services in the future. If any of you have any objections to this plan, you may leave right away."Upon hearing that, everyone looked at each other. They had always known that with each new boss came a new way of worki
