"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
At Well Spring Pharma, a notice was forwarded to every single employee with a list of names attached, explaining in detail the crimes they committed and that they were fired.This notice immediately created an uproar in the office."Damn! Mr. Bell actually did such a thing? He always talked about the company's profits. It turns out that he was one of the rotten ones!""Just because all these managers have some power in their hands, they let it get to their heads. They even dared to steal from the company. They deserved it!""They could be arrogant because of the person behind them! Now that Mr. Leech is on holiday, all the pests in the company have been gotten rid of! Ms. Miller sure has her ways!""Which means … Ms. Miller forced Mr. Leech to take a holiday. Punishing him was just an excuse. The real intention was to get rid of all his people in the company. She's so meticulous, it's scary!"The heated discussion lasted an entire day.Frank let it fester. After all, the more di
After a few rings, Anthony collected his thoughts before answering the call.Yvonne got straight to the point. She smiled and asked, "Mr. Leech, I'm sure you've seen the notice today, right?"Anthony furrowed his brows. He replied passive-aggressively, "Thank you for making the call to inform me.""After all, the people who have been fired were all your people. Naturally, I have to show you some consideration."Yvonne looked up at the skies out of the window. She smiled ambiguously. "You won't blame me, right?"Anthony clutched his phone so tightly that his knuckles turned white. After a moment, he forced himself to sound calm. "How could I? Although they are all my friends, I really didn't know what they were doing."He continued, "Now that you've found out about it and punished them, you're adhering to the company's policy. Everything was done reasonably. "Even if I had been in your position, I wouldn't have been able to let them continue working for Well Spring Pharma."Y
Mark left with only two subordinates. They got into a Cayenne and drove off into the night.They were followed by a tiny sedan that was hiding in the dark.Suddenly, a man appeared right in front of the sedan. The car had just started when it had to brake abruptly. The car stopped a few centimeters right in front of the man.The man quickly headed to the driver's side and knocked on the car window.Even through the glass, Gwen's face could still be clearly seen.Seeing how Gwen was refusing to roll down the window, the man knocked on the window harder once more.After a while, Gwen finally rolled down the window a little."Curtis, tell Yvonne to stop sending people to look for me. I won't go back right now. She doesn't have to worry about my situation. I'll be careful."Gwen continued, "Also, tell her not to get too close to the man called Kendrick. She shouldn't get involved with his business. If Mark finds out about her relationship with Kendrick, he won't let her go that eas
