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
However, the moment Jade took her first step, she saw two bodyguards right behind Jane.She quickly retreated into the corner. After a moment of hesitation, she chose to quietly follow them.Jane left the hospital humming a melody while heading to the hotel nearby. Her bodyguards were close behind her.Jade looked at them from afar without taking her eyes off them. She maintained her distance from them.Seeing them entering the hotel, Jade quickened her footsteps. She hid behind the plant by the entrance, watching Jane and her bodyguards enter the elevator. She frantically looked at the number on the screen. The elevator stopped on the 12th floor. Jade kept muttering the number 12 to herself as if trying to make herself remember.Jane had bodyguards around her. So Jade couldn't take action yet. She had to find some other opportunity. At least she knew where Jane was staying. There would surely be a chance in the future to strike when Jane was alone!…That night, Yvonne dr
After that night, Jade mentioned visiting Neil on Yvonne's behalf from time to time.Yvonne was busy with work, so she thought nothing much about it. Since Jade had something she wanted to do, Yvonne let her do it.That day, Yvonne had just finished discussing something with Kai when she casually mentioned, "Jade has recently been going to see Mr. Foster often. If you're free, could you give her a ride?""What?" Kai was stunned. "Mr. Foster didn't mention that Ms. Hough had visited him."Yvonne's heart sank. "Jade didn't visit him?""I don't think so. I've never heard him bring it up …" Kai gulped. Jane had been with Neil all this time. If Jade were to visit him often, Yvonne would have long known that Jane was around."Could Ms. Hough just be busy with something else, but she didn't tell you?"Yvonne was silent. Jade didn't know the place well, nor did she have any friends around. What could she be busy with?Kai asked tentatively, "Then … Should I get someone to follow Ms
That day, Jade asked Yvonne's permission to visit Neil as usual. When she arrived at the hospital, she hid in the familiar corner, staring at Neil's ward.Jane left in the evening. Jade saw Jane stopping her bodyguards. After politely instructing them, Jane left alone.Hope suddenly burned brightly in Jade's heart. She quickly ran downstairs. She deliberately headed down one floor before taking the elevator.By the time Jade got out of the hospital, Jane had already gotten in a taxi.Jade immediately hailed a taxi to follow Jane. She instructed the driver to follow Jane closely.As night fell, the two taxis drove through the bustling city. They finally stopped outside a nightclub.Jade saw Jane getting out of the taxi and entering the nightclub. She quickly paid the driver and got out of the taxi as well, heading directly to the nightclub.To her surprise, she was stopped by the bouncer at the entrance. "Miss, are you in the wrong place?"The bouncer sized her up from head to t
Finley clutched his fingers and retreated backward. He was in so much pain that tears fell from his face. He looked at the black figure in horror.As the person slowly looked up, revealing her eyes under the cap, Finley's eyes widened in fear. He looked like he had just seen a ghost."Y-Yvonne … M-Miller ..."The neon lights of the nightclub's sign shone upon Yvonne's face, making her seem rather mischievous yet malicious at the same time.Yvonne walked closer, forcing Finley to retreat backward until he fell to the floor."M-Ms. Miller, I was just joking with your employee. Don't be angry. I-I'll apologize," Finley stuttered.Then, he apologized to Jade loudly, "Miss, I'm sorry! I won't do that ever again!"Jade ignored him. She looked at Yvonne in shock. "Yvonne, why are you here?""I shouldn't be here, right?" Yvonne retorted.She kicked Finley. "Scram!""Yes, I'll leave right away …" Finley stumbled and fled the scene, clutching his rib cage.Yvonne took off her cap and
