Leonard's heart sank, yet he pretended to feign ignorance. "What are you talking about? Wasn't Chuck's death an accident?""If it hadn't been for your men chasing after him, how would he have gotten himself in an accident?"Claude was so furious that he snorted. "Leonard, I'm here confronting you about it, so surely I've looked into it. You can drop the act. We've been friends for so many years. Can't I just get an honest answer from you?"Claude went in closer and looked Leonard in the eyes intently. "Tell me. Are you really working with Yvonne?"Leonard was silent for a while. He said slowly, "I'll explain Chuck's incident to you. You have the right to know.""I just want to know right now whether you—""Chuck set Jane up."That shut Claude's mouth up immediately. His eyes widened. "What do you mean?""Yvonne sent me an email before, exposing Chuck's true colors. He had been stirring the pot, inciting Howard to seek revenge on Jane. He was also the one who told Mark about h
Claude was perplexed. "What do you mean?""Don't you see?" Leonard rolled his eyes. "When you barged in here and tried to come after me, you were doing exactly what Mark wanted."Claude came to a realization. "Are you saying … Mark's real purpose is to see us turn on each other?""That's right." Leonard sighed. "Luckily, you were willing to let me explain. If not, Mark would have gotten what he wanted."Claude felt guilty. "I was too impulsive. If Mark ever seeks me out again, I'll let you know.""Hmm." Leonard got up and headed over to Claude. He said seriously, "You have to trust me. We have been friends for years. I would never harm you.""I know." Claude looked at Leonard, his eyes filled with trust."If you were someone who wanted to harm me, would we have been friends for so long? I was wrong this time. I'll send you a good bottle of wine as an apology."Leonard chuckled happily. "Sure! I want the oldest bottle in your wine cellar.""This is a robbery!" Claude laug
"What? So Mark can take advantage of me, but I can't take advantage of him?"Yvonne leaned back and smiled. "Since he’s trying to make Leonard and Claude turn against each other, I'll go along with the flow."Stephen soon understood what Yvonne meant. He smiled. "After being by your side for so long, I finally understand that saying."Yvonne raised an eyebrow. "What saying?""Don't ever offend a woman. You'll die a terrible death." Stephen added seriously, "That was something James often said."Yvonne was amused. She leaned in closer, lifted Stephen's chin, and smiled. "From today onward, you have to keep that in mind."Stephen grabbed her hand and smiled back dotingly. "I will."…In the following week, Yvonne was at Well Spring Pharma’s office all day long. She only returned to the hotel to sleep. Only after she had taken over Well Spring Pharma did she realize how vast the difference between Well Spring Pharma and Hope Health Services was.So she naturally needed more
Otto met Yvonne's gaze and smiled. "Ms. Miller, we meet again."Rory turned to look at Yvonne. "Is he really your friend?"Yvonne didn't reply to Rory. She merely looked at Otto and asked, "What are you doing here?""Of course, I'm looking for you." Otto went past Rory and walked over to Yvonne. "Why does it seem like I'm not welcome here?"Yvonne gave Rory a look, signaling for him to leave the room. Once the door was closed, she looked at Otto once more and said calmly, "It's not that you're not welcome here. I just don't like people showing up uninvited."Otto nodded understandingly. "It was indeed a little rude of me to come over just like that. I'll inform you in the future."Then, he took his phone and tapped on it for a while. Soon, Yvonne's phone rang.Otto smiled. "This is my personal phone number. It's different from the one you used to contact me with before. You can save it, in case the next time I look for you, you think I'm a scam caller."It seemed like he want
Otto slowly said, "Well Spring Pharma needs a way back to return to the eyes of the public. Have you already thought of a way?"Yvonne reacted quickly. She was elated. "Are you saying that Carrington and Hertz is willing to provide such an opportunity for Well Spring Pharma?"Otto calmly responded, "Hmm. It's just a coincidence that Carrington and Hertz needs to purchase a bulk of drugs and medical equipment. I plan to buy from Well Spring Pharma. I'm sure I don't need to teach you how to make this splashing news, right?""No, of course not. I'll donate the medicine and equipment directly to Carrington and Hertz. In the future, if you need anything else, just let me know, and I'll support you fully."Yvonne's troubles for the past few days vanished immediately, and a cheerful smile overtook her features.She was grateful for the help. "Mr. Carrington, thank you so much! You have helped me solve a huge problem!"Otto smiled. "You're the one making the donation. I should be thankin
At the restaurant, Otto chivalrously pulled out a chair for Yvonne.Yvonne looked at Otto as he took a seat opposite her. She asked curiously, "How did you and Kendrick become friends?""It's a long story. I met him on the battlefield. Back then, I went to a war-torn country to assist with medical relief, and he was there to—" Otto corrected himself in time and said, "To do some business."He continued, "The team I was leading was in a considerably safe place. No one expected that we would be ambushed one night. Kendrick was passing by, and he rescued us."Thinking back to the situation back then, Otto couldn't help but find it rather amusing. At that time, he had been so prejudiced against Kendrick and had even refused to accept Kendrick's help. In the end, Kendrick had knocked him out with his gun and taken him away.When he had finally come around, Kendrick had been sitting by his side, polishing his gun. The latter had even said coldly, "You might not weigh too much, but y
Yvonne and Otto were chatting away happily when they suddenly sensed a chilly air around them.Yvonne looked up to see Stephen's grim expression. She was just about to greet him when he walked up to her and took a seat next to her. He crossed his legs and looked at Otto domineeringly."Hello. I'm Stephen Anderson."Otto was clearly shocked by Stephen's arrogance. He was in a daze before his face finally broke out into a smile. "Hello. Otto Carrington.""Hmm?" Stephen raised an eyebrow. "What business are you in, Mr. Carrington? This is the first I've heard of you."Otto replied politely, "Just small businesses. It's normal that you've never heard of me."Stephen cleared his throat. "Mr. Carrington, you're being too modest. I know my woman well. She never goes for small businesses, nor forgets our date because of them."Yvonne was baffled.In an attempt to prevent the atmosphere from getting more awkward, she smiled and said, "Mr. Carrington is here on behalf of Carrington and
Stephen led Yvonne to a Porsche Cayenne. He opened the door to reveal three men who had been tied up. Their mouths were gagged with a cloth. Since they couldn't speak, they could only express their defiance and rage through their eyes.Yvonne was in no rush to question them. She merely crossed her arms across her chest. "When did they start following me?""They haven't started," Stephen calmly replied."What?" Yvonne was a little confused. She turned to look at Stephen. "What do you mean?""I have men on Mark's side too." Stephen turned to the three men. "These three were instructed to follow you. The moment they landed here, we captured them."Yvonne rolled her eyes. "Why didn't you tell me earlier that you had men spying on Mark?""I prefer to attack head-on rather than waiting."Yvonne made a mental note to get used to Stephen's way of doing things first and asking for forgiveness later instead of asking for permission.Stephen looked at her. "There's another thing. My
