That night, Jade slowly opened her eyes. The pain on her forehead was so excruciating that she gasped. "Ouch …""You had 12 stitches on your forehead. Don't move." Jade turned to look. Her eyes instantly sparkled. "Yvonne, you're really back!""If I hadn't returned any sooner, you would have starved yourself to death in your room." Yvonne noticed that the IV drip was almost finished. She got up to change a different bottle. She said curtly, "Your body can't take such torment. You probably would have died before you even managed to get your revenge. Don't you think it isn't worth it?""I …" Jade pursed her lips, feeling aggrieved. "I thought you didn't want to take me along. Also … I was afraid that something had happened to you.""What could happen to me?" Yvonne sat back down on the chair. She looked at Jade seriously and said, "You can't rush revenge. I need to slowly plan it out too, to ensure that there will be no mistakes."Jade didn't seem to understand. "You weren
The next day, Jade went to look for Yvonne. She agreed to go to school in the spring, but before that, Yvonne had to take her along wherever she went.Jade was clearly still a little resentful. After giving Yvonne an answer, she left the latter's office without saying anything else.As the door closed, Yvonne looked at Stephen. "Do you think it's too late for me to back out?""Yes." Stephen smiled as if reveling in Yvonne's misfortune. Yvonne was a little depressed. "I never thought that she would be so hard to coax. I guess I can only take her with me for now. I'll talk to her again when I have the chance.""Hmm …" Stephen pondered for a while. "Elvin and Britney are about to have their winter break. Why don't we get them over and let Jade look after them? Consider it a chance for her to help you too."Yvonne's eyes brightened instantly. "You're right! No wonder you're the great Mr. Anderson. What a smart idea!""I'm going back in a few days. When I return, I can bring them
The plane landed safely. Once they left the airport, Yvonne led Jade to the hospital, where Neil was. It was a high-end private hospital. Neil was in the VIP ward. Ever since he had checked in, there had been a group of paramedics around him.He was already annoyed that he had been set up by Mark. Seeing the people surrounding him all day long for the past two days irritated him further.Yvonne had just arrived outside his ward when she heard Neil rebuking the caretaker. "Do you know what the hell you are doing or not? If you don't know what you're doing, you can just leave!"Soon, a caretaker exited his ward with her head lowered.Yvonne entered and said, "Mr. Foster, you just had surgery. You should try to stay calm."Neil looked over. He was surprised. "Why are you here?""Mark gave me a call on the day of your accident." Yvonne went in closer to him. "He wasn't just trying to teach you a lesson. He was also reminding me not to cross him."Neil was infuriated. He raised
Yvonne smiled in relief. "I'm here. Why are you so worried? The most important thing right now is for you to get better. You have a group of subordinates that you need to feed."Neil sighed. "Before I get discharged, I really need your help to look after my business. I'm worried that Mark will take advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble.""Even if you hadn't brought it up, I would still help you. After all, I'm part of this business. If Mark really destroys it, I'll lose out a lot."Neil was relieved, seeing how understanding Yvonne was. He looked at her with more respect and admiration."Ms. Miller, I should have worked with you earlier." Thinking about how he had treated Yvonne at first, Neil felt a little apologetic. "I was narrow-minded, thinking that you women would be less courageous than men."He continued. "I never would have thought that after the accident, you would be bold enough to visit me right away …"Neil smiled bitterly and shook his head. "An old man li
Yvonne stood up. "What's going on?""I don't know how the news of Mr. Foster's accident got out. A few buyers are here to have their orders canceled. They said that now that the company is without its leader, if there are any problems or delays with the delivery, it would affect their businesses."Kai finished explaining only to see Yvonne walking straight out of the office with a frosty expression. He quickly followed along.Jade had just finished pouring the water. Before she could place it on Yvonne's desk, she saw the two of them leaving the office. She quickly placed the glass down and chased after them.Outside, the buyers were still yelling, "This isn't up for discussion! We're here to cancel our orders today!""Sure, you can cancel your orders." A calm woman's voice silenced everyone there.Kai paved the way for Yvonne. The staff members retreated to the side as they saw Yvonne confidently walking over to the buyers in her high heels.The leader of the buyers came to h
"N-No." The man felt embarrassed. He was at a loss for words. The other buyers behind him could no longer bear to watch him get humiliated. They immediately said, "We won't cancel our orders!""Ms. Miller, don't take this to heart! We'll leave right away!"Then, they nudged each other to leave. Someone even pulled the man away.The man went along with them. He had just left with his head hung low when he heard Yvonne's voice ring out."Everyone here is a businessperson. Trusting your partners is the most basic thing. Don't let anyone encourage you to do anything that would hurt your business."Yvonne continued, "Since all of you chose to trust us today, we won't let you down. I promise you that we will deliver on time."Then, Yvonne got Kai to send them off.The man looked at Yvonne as she walked off. His face paled a little. Had her words been aimed at him? Had she noticed something?…Entering the office, Jade went up to Yvonne and said excitedly, "Yvonne, you were amazing
Soon, a concerned face appeared right in front of Neil."Uncle Neil, are you alright? I heard that you got into an accident! You almost scared me to death!"Neil looked at Jane and frowned. "How did you know that I had gotten into an accident?""Grandpa told me about it. He can't leave at the moment, so he got me to come and visit you."Jane looked at Neil, who was covered in injuries. She felt sorry for him. "Uncle Neil, you must be in pain. How did the accident happen?"Neil remained silent. He gave Kai a look, asking him to check who on earth had leaked the news.Kai understood immediately and left the room.Once the door was closed, Neil said slowly, "The injuries look scary, but I'm not really hurt. I'll be fine after recovering for a while. You can go home and tell Claude. Don't let him worry."Jane nodded. "Luckily, you're fine. It really is terrifying. Why don't I stay back to care for you for a while? I'll feel better once you can leave the bed and walk around."Neil
"Jane, I know that you don't like Yvonne, but you better watch your temper in front of me. I know how to deal with people. I don't need you to give me advice."Neil's firm tone left Jane a little stunned. She felt aggrieved.In the past, when Yvonne hadn't been there, Neil had loved Jane the most. He would never have given her a warning like this.There was truly no telling what Yvonne was capable of. She had even gotten Neil to have such a huge change in his character!"I-I'm just worried." Jane bit her lips and said sadly, "Forget about it. If you don't want me to talk about her, I'll stop."She didn't care as long as he didn't blame her for not warning him when he got set up by Yvonne. She was afraid that if she said the wrong thing, Neil would kick her out.Neil relaxed a little when Jane obeyed him. "Jane, if you would just listen to me, you should learn from Yvonne. Don't always covet her man. You can't force relationships—""Stop." Jane raised her hand. "If I can't sa
