Stephen didn't reply. He merely looked at the suit jacket.Yvonne could only compromise. She put the jacket back on her shoulders. "Tell me. What is the important matter?""I saw Otto Carrington and Anthony Leech secretly meeting.""What?" Yvonne's curiosity was piqued. She asked, "What were they talking about?""I don't know," Stephen replied flatly, catching Yvonne off guard.She looked perplexed. "You only have such a small amount of information, yet you call that an important matter? Stephen, you tricked me!"Without a change in his expression, Stephen said, "They were privately meeting. This is serious enough. There was no need to eavesdrop on them. Don't you think you should be careful of Otto Carrington?""You just have a preconceived notion of him, which is why you think he's up to no good." Yvonne rolled her eyes. "If he really were up to something with Anthony, the guest list that Anthony made should have had Otto's name. But …"Yvonne thought for a while. "There
"If you don't start driving, I'm going to die in front of you."Kendrick adjusted the seat backward. He felt more comfortable lying down. "If those men realize I got in your car, you will be in trouble too.""Then, I'll just kick you out of the car and raise both hands in surrender," Otto said while he immediately started the car. He slammed the gas pedal and drove off into the night.…Late that night, Yvonne finished washing up. She took her phone, planning to ask Stephen about the interrogation, when she received a message from Otto.The message was the name of the hotel and the room number. He had asked her to make her way there.At that moment, it was already half past midnight. It was hard not to think more about it when she received a message like this.She sent him a question mark. Otto didn't explain much. He said that she would understand once she reached the hotel.Yvonne looked at her phone, feeling conflicted. Although Otto looked like a good person, she still had
Otto was staying in the presidential suite. As Stephen and Yvonne entered the living area, Otto closed the door. He said in a low voice, "Mr. Anderson, please wait here for a while. Ms. Miller, I would ask you to head to the bedroom."Yvonne asked instinctively, "What is it that can't be said right here?""Someone needs you in the bedroom." Otto went in closer and looked at Stephen. "I'm not sure if Mr. Anderson is allowed to know about some things, so please understand, Ms. Miller.""I see." Yvonne nodded. She turned to look at Stephen. "Wait for me here. I'll be in the room next door. Nothing will happen.""Hmm." Stephen looked at Yvonne as she pushed the door open. He could clearly see her pause a little.Soon, she stepped into the room and closed it. He furrowed his brows. Who was in the bedroom?Otto handed him a glass of water. "Mr. Anderson, don't worry. Nothing will happen to Ms. Miller. Please have some water. You don't have to be nervous."Stephen looked at Otto
"This isn't my first time treating your gunshot wounds. Besides, your injuries almost got you killed the last time."Either way, I'm a doctor. As long as there are injuries that I can treat, I'll have to treat them."Yvonne said without looking up, "Also, you have hidden so many things from me. One extra matter wouldn't make a difference. You can tell me when you feel ready."Kendrick was at a loss for words.Without mentioning her other qualities, the fact that Yvonne could maintain such calm and rationality about a suspicious gunshot was way beyond his expectations.Seeing Kendrick not respond, Yvonne smiled. "Since you never planned on telling me in the first place, why did you ask?"Kendrick felt as if Yvonne could read his mind. It was a first for him, so he felt a little awkward. Then, he looked away and said, "Alright, you can do your thing."Yvonne chuckled. She looked at the wound in detail. She still couldn't help but say, "You're really a tough one."…Half an hou
"I got unlucky. I met unreasonable people."Kendrick muttered, "Once I get better, I'm going to make them pay! How dare they steal three million dollars worth of stock?""Who would be bold enough to steal from you?""They are just a bunch of minions."Otto chuckled. "You've gotten to where you are today, yet someone still dares to mess with you?""My profession is a dangerous one. You better cherish the days you get to see me. Perhaps one day, I'll just drop—""Stop." Otto stopped Kendrick and said curtly, "Watch your words. Don't curse yourself all day."Kendrick laughed nonchalantly. "Don't worry. I'm a tough one. So many years have passed, and I'm still alive and kicking, right? Weren't you asking me why I was near that castle?"Kendrick looked at Otto with a raised eyebrow. "It was a coincidence. I saw the address on the photo of the invitation you sent me. The deal happened to just be nearby."He continued, "Before I left, I thought if anything were to happen to me, I c
For the next two days, Otto ignored Kendrick. Other than sending meals to him three times a day, he didn't say a single word to Kendrick.They were living under the same roof, yet their relationship was so strained. Kendrick could barely take it anymore.When Otto brought him breakfast that morning, he tried to find a topic to talk about. "Is Yvonne coming to change my dressing today?"Otto responded, "Hmm." He placed Kendrick's breakfast by the nightstand before leaving. Kendrick immediately grabbed him by the wrist."My good brother, I'll apologize, alright?" Kendrick pleaded. "I'm getting nauseous from seeing your glum face all day long. If this continues on, I'll get depressed."Otto shrugged him off. "You're not afraid of death, so why would you be afraid of depression?""You can't put it like that—"Right at this moment, the doorbell rang.Kendrick's eyes brightened. "Is that Yvonne?""I'll go get the door," Otto said, leaving the bedroom.Kendrick was thinking about
Kendrick had no expression on his face. "How did you capture them?""It was a piece of cake. I even helped you interrogate them. They confessed." Mark observed Kendrick's reaction before casually adding, "They were under the orders of Cory Sloan. Apparently, whoever killed you would be rewarded 50 million dollars.""Oh?" Kendrick sneered. "I never thought my life would cost that much.""Cory has crossed the line. Aren't you planning to hit back?" Mark asked with interest."This is my business." Kendrick didn't look at Mark. "Leave them here. I'll handle it."Mark said nothing. He merely observed Kendrick. He seemed a little unhappy.After a while, he broke the silence. "Fine. Since they are my gifts to you, you can do whatever you like with them. "But I'll still have to remind you. No matter what, having an extra friend is always safer than having an extra enemy."Mark's gaze sharpened. "Get well soon."Kendrick's gaze darkened as he watched Mark leave with his men.In
Five minutes later, the doorbell rang once more.Otto thought that Mark had come back. But when he opened the door, he was stunned. He subconsciously asked, "Why are you here?""To change Kendrick's dressing." Yvonne sized Otto up. "Who did you think I was when you opened the door?"Before Otto could answer, Yvonne added, "Mark Miller?"Otto was stunned. "You saw him?""Hmm. What a coincidence. When I arrived at the lobby, I almost bumped into him."Luckily, Yvonne had reacted quickly. She had hid in a corner, so Mark hadn't noticed her. She had guessed that Mark was most likely at the hotel for Kendrick.When she saw Otto's reaction, she got her answer."Why did Mark come looking for Kendrick?""Come in first." Otto turned to the side to let Yvonne in. Then, he closed the door. "Mark brought men for Kendrick.""Men?" Yvonne was confused. She followed Otto to the bedroom and saw those men prostrating themselves on the floor, kowtowing nonstop. They hit their heads hard
