A night has passed, and Cory seemed to have vanished into thin air.Kendrick's men had even searched through the trash, but they couldn't find anything at all.While Kendrick was pissed off and lecturing his men, Otto opened the door and interrupted him.Kendrick was a little stunned. He furrowed his brows and asked, "How did you find me?"Otto had a grim expression. He walked over to Kendrick. "Sloan was doing business at the North Docks the day before yesterday. Last night, he went missing. Was this your doing?""Yes," Kendrick admitted openly. He looked at Otto intently. "Is there a problem? So Sloan can cause me trouble, but I can't hit back?""I have no objections to you hitting back, but you can't kill him off in one shot! Now, you're just alarming him!"Otto stopped right in front of Kendrick and grabbed him by his collar. "Now that Sloan is missing, you're out in the open while he's hiding in a corner somewhere. He could find an opportunity and get rid of you at any ti
Kendrick glared at Otto and gritted his teeth. "Fine. Let's scram. I'm not afraid. As long as I'm alive, I'll get him sooner or later!"He kicked the chair in anger. He turned around and no longer looked at Otto.Seeing Kendrick's angry figure, Otto smiled. "Let him be," he mused. At least he would still be alive. Otto turned around to instruct one of the men. "Inform the others who are still on a search to call off the search. Get them to find their own way back.""Okay!"…That night, a group of men surrounded the building Kendrick was staying in. A while later, a man in black came running toward a sport utility vehicle parked by the side of the road. "They're all gone."A man's chuckle came from inside the car. "He ran away so quickly. Since when has he become so smart?"The man in black asked, "Should we go after them?" "No need." The gruff voice coming from the car paused for a while. "Go and check who was having a business meal in North Etoile last night. I'm looking
That night, after Stephen's call with Yvonne, he started to consider if he should take some other illegal routes.However, three days later, before he could do anything, Neil shared some good news with him."It's done! We have a deal!" Neil pushed open the door and walked over to Stephen delightedly. "Mr. Anderson, those two contractors have decided to sign with us. They even agreed to the original price and said that it could even be lowered!"He continued, "They were afraid that we wouldn't believe them. They brought a contract over for us to have a look. They said if there are no problems with it, we can sign it whenever we want!"Then, Neil handed the contracts to Stephen with both hands. "Have a look at it, Mr. Anderson."Stephen furrowed his brows. "Why did they suddenly agree?""I found it strange too, but I went through the contracts in detail. There really isn't any problem. Also, they were really sincere. It was as if …"Neil added hesitantly. "They were afraid we wo
"We'll come clean."One of the contractors said indignantly, "Actually, we don't want to lower the price for you, but unfortunately for you, someone has your back."As for who that person is, they wouldn't let us tell you. Anyway, you're just lucky. You can do whatever you like here, and no one would dare to disobey you."The other contractor politely pushed the contracts toward Neil. "Mr. Foster, just sign this contract. Don't make things difficult for us. It isn't easy for us as well. "If this deal doesn't go through, we won't be able to stay here anymore."Neil wasn't quick to make a decision. He merely looked at Stephen.Stephen was silent for a while. "So, from what you're saying, that person could make sure our businesses run smoothly here?""Of course, he had already made it known to the people in the mines. "As long as it's a mine that you have your eyes on, they aren't allowed to raise the price. Also, they can't do anything that would harm your company's profits."
It was winter now, and it snowed often. The entire city was covered in snow.Since it was warm inside, many people became lazy and didn't like to leave the house.Yvonne had spent the weekend playing with the children at home. When it was time to get to work on Monday, she almost slept through. Jim had to knock on her door to wake her up.However, even when she was at Hope Health Services, her soul seemed to still be in bed.After yawning a few times, she asked her assistant to bring her a cup of coffee. When her assistant returned with the coffee, she had a package in her hands too."Ms. Miller, this is a package from you. I think it's from a client."Yvonne took the package and glanced at the information on it. She guessed randomly. "It's probably from Mrs. Jenner."After her assistant left, Yvonne drank her coffee while opening the package. Sure enough, she found a neatly folded gown in the package.The intricacy of the embroidery on the front of the gown was beautifully don
At the same time, Kendrick leaned closer to Otto. "What are you looking at? You're so engrossed in it."When Kendrick saw photos of the gown on Otto's phone, he immediately furrowed his brows. "I never knew you had this kink! Who knew you liked women's clothes?"Otto was speechless. He looked at Kendrick. "Can you have an ordinary person's line of thought?""You were the one engrossed in a gown, yet you're talking about me—""My mother made this gown for Yvonne," Otto interrupted. Then, he put his phone away. "Yvonne didn't have my mother's number, so she asked me to thank her on her behalf."Kendrick was confused. "Since when does your mother know Yvonne?""It's a long story." Otto couldn't be bothered to explain. "It's just a misunderstanding."Seeing that Otto was about to leave, Kendrick followed him. "What misunderstanding? What else do I not know about?""Why are you asking so many questions? It has nothing to do with you.""What? So, are you and Yvonne having secret
"I've passed on your thanks to my mother."When Yvonne received the message, she was in bed with Elvin and Britney, reading them their bedtime stories.Britney had a good eye. She immediately noticed the name on the screen. It wasn't a name she was familiar with."Aunt Yvonne, who's talking to you?"Elvin also subconsciously took a glance. Otto Carrington? That was the man they had seen at the Christmas party!"A friend." Yvonne didn't reply to the message. She put her phone aside and turned to look at the both of them. They were looking at her with their huge, round eyes, not one bit sleepy.Yvonne smiled helplessly. "I'll go get you two some milk.""Okay!" Britney nodded obediently and saw Yvonne leaving the room."Did you see what that man wrote to my mommy?" Elvin asked.Britney turned and shook her head innocently. "I saw it, but I couldn't read." It was challenging for Britney to read a sentence in such a short time.Elvin felt a little depressed. He knew he shouldn't h
"What can I do? Of course, I have to clean up your mess. Am I to let Claude kick you out of the picture at such a time?"Leonard was furious. "You don't have to deal with Claude, but you have to catch the mole in Well Spring Pharma and properly punish them."Yvonne smiled, but she sounded apologetic. "Leonard, I'm really sorry. It's my fault. I didn't keep my staff in line, and I caused you trouble."Seeing how seriously Yvonne took it, Leonard had nowhere to release his anger. He sighed heavily. "Good that you know your mistake. Be careful in the future. Don't cause me any more trouble.""Yes, I understand." Yvonne thought for a while before asking tentatively, "T-Then … How is Claude right now?""He fought with me." That was all Leonard said. He instructed, "You get to work. I won't let him get involved with Well Spring Pharma. Also, be prepared to acquire it too."He hung up.Yvonne looked at her phone. She smiled slyly.Anthony must have thought that he was doing a smar
