That night, Yvonne finally managed to take Jade back to the hotel with much difficulty. She quietly coaxed Jade until she stopped crying.By the time Yvonne got into bed, it was already midnight.She looked at the ceiling, unable to sleep at all. She thought about how she had scolded Jade at the nightclub's entrance. The more she thought about it, the guiltier she felt.How could she have said such a thing to Jade?Jade had always been sheltered. It was only normal for her to be naïve. How could Yvonne call her stupid?One would easily spew nonsense when one was angry!Yvonne was so upset that she slapped her face. She decided she was going to find the opportunity to apologize to Jade.She barely fell asleep because of how guilty she felt. She woke up early the next morning and got the hotel to send a scrumptious breakfast up to her room.Jade rubbed her puffy eyes and came out of her bedroom when she saw Yvonne smiling brightly at her."Good morning. Come, have breakfast."J
Jade remembered her promise to Yvonne. She lowered her head and quickly walked away, intending to walk past Jane.However, Jane didn't let her go. She signaled at her bodyguards, and they stopped Jade in her path.Jade panicked. "W-What are you trying to do?""You don't remember me anymore?" Jane slowly walked over to Jade. She said maliciously, "I remember you. You're Howard Hough's daughter. Have you really forgotten that we met? Do you need me to refresh your memory?" A chill ran down Jade's back. She was rooted to the spot. She couldn't help but think back to the closed trunk of the car."When we first met, you were barely alive. It looks like you recovered quite well. Look at you right now. All alive and well."Jane reached out and twirled Jade's hair in her fingers. She went in closer. "I heard that Howard gave you his heart. How touching."This triggered Jade. She glared at Jane. "Don't you mention my father!"Jane snickered. "Why not? I almost died at his hands."Th
In her office, Yvonne had just finished a call with Stephen. She found out that Elvin and the others were already at Hope Health Services.She was just thinking of how to find a way to head back to Hope earlier when she saw Jade running in."Yvonne, I-I … I think I caused you trouble." Jade's eyes reddened. "I was about to buy you some afternoon tea when I bumped into Jane downstairs. I-I got into an argument with her. No, it can't be considered an argument."Jade had a catch in her throat. "She said that she almost died because of my father. She also told me that my father was beaten to death. S-She said that my father deserved to die …"Jade continued, "I was angry, so I wanted to hit her, but … she had bodyguards protecting her. I didn't even touch her, yet she turned around and accused me of hitting her. "She said she was going to tell Mr. Foster!"Yvonne's gaze darkened a little when she heard Jade's story. Jane had clearly come here for Jade."Did Jane find out about ho
Half an hour later, Yvonne knocked on the door."Enter."Yvonne pushed the door open to see Jane sitting by the side of the bed.Their eyes met. Jane raised her eyebrow provokingly before resuming her innocent and aggrieved look.Yvonne sneered inwardly. She hadn't seen Jane for some time, but it seemed that the latter's acting had improved quite a lot."Ms. Miller, I'm so sorry to make you come here so late." Neil got Yvonne to take a seat on the couch nearby.After asking about the company's recent operations, he nodded his head in satisfaction. "I'm really relieved to have you. Thank you for your help."Yvonne smiled. "You let me help you because you trust me. I think I haven't let you down.""I have no qualms with your capabilities at all." Neil smiled affectionately. "Moreover, you'll have to take back your metal business one day. It would do you good to learn more about it right now."Yvonne nodded. "I think so too." Then, Yvonne gave Jane a glance. "Mr. Foster, since
"You've crossed a line!" Neil slapped the side of the bed, reprimanding Jane.Jane jumped. She only dared to mutter softly, "Uncle Neil, weren't you going to help me?"Neil ignored her. He looked at Yvonne, a little calmer this time. "Ms. Miller, I’m sorry. If I hadn't asked you about it, I wouldn't have known that Jane had done such a terrible thing to that girl in the past."If there is a chance in the future, I'll get Jane to apologize to her."Yvonne refused without a change in her expression. "No need. I don't think Jade would want to see her.""Now that we have laid everything out, we're clear that none of us bear any ill will. Why don't you—""It is indeed clear."Neil was a little stunned at Yvonne's response. He looked at her, stumped."Mr. Foster, you clearly called me over to seek justice for Ms. Ford and get me to send Jade away. Since you had already thought about that from the beginning, it proves that you are still on guard. You don't trust me."Yvonne stood up
"More or less. I've already gotten the list of names. I'll organize them and send them to you later. We'll be able to use it when the time comes."Yvonne's goal for this trip hadn't only been to visit Neil but also to understand the metal business better. That way, she could better utilize her resources in the future.Besides, when she had decided to get into the metal business, she hadn't been planning to settle just for that little bit. She also wanted Mark's portion of the metal business.Of course, that was all for a later time.Yvonne walked over to the floor-to-ceiling window and looked out at the city's skyline at night. "I didn't plan on leaving this early, but Jane has targeted us. If I don't leave, she will try to drive a wedge between Neil and me. I don't want any further problems right now. I can't be bothered to deal with her either."Yvonne yawned lazily. "I want to go back earlier so I can spend more time with Elvin. I haven't seen him in a long time.""Hmm, it's
At the hospital, Kai timidly handed the documents to Neil."Mr. Foster, Ms. Miller asked me to hand this to you. She handed over all her duties today."Neil threw the stack of documents to the floor.He berated Kai, "Didn't I ask you to make her stay? Now you're telling me she has already handed over her duties. How useless can you be?"Kai lowered his head. "I-I tried to persuade her, but she was insistent on leaving. She said she didn't want to come between you and Ms. Ford."At that moment, the door to the room opened. Jane entered with an exquisite-looking lunchbox. She said with a smile, "Uncle Neil, if Yvonne wants to leave, let her go. You don't have to beg her to stay."Neil's gaze darkened. "Why are you here?""I'm the only one who cares for you." Jane went over to the side of the bed. She placed the lunchbox by the nightstand. "Uncle Neil, I've really thought about it. If I really lost my temper at you, I would have fallen into Yvonne's trap. She—""Shut up!" Neil
Yvonne and Jade took the same flight back to Hope Health Services. As they came out of the arrival terminal, Yvonne spotted a sign with a rather bad drawing on it.If it hadn't been for her name on the sign, she wouldn't have been able to recognize that the stick figure of a woman on the drawing was her.Britney was clearly happy with her drawing. She had made Stephen carry her in her arms so that Yvonne would notice the sign immediately.When she spotted Yvonne, she waved the sign excitedly, almost hitting Stephen squarely in the face a few times.Yvonne was amused by this scene. She quickened her steps and went up to them. She took the sign and asked, "Britney, did you draw this?""Yes!" Then, Britney shook her head and pointed at Elvin, who was standing next to Stephen. "El drew it too!""I have nothing to do with that ugly painting," Elvin flatly denied.Yvonne naturally believed Britney more. She took the sign and bent down. She asked Elvin, "Babe, which part did you draw
