"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
That night, Gwen followed Mark to the airport. When she found out which flight he was taking, she deduced that he was going to look for Claude and Leonard. After all, the flight he was taking was heading to the city where they lived.Thus, Gwen bought the earliest ticket possible. She planned to head to Leonard's mansion the moment she landed.Curtis understood what she was doing. He asked curiously, "Why do you think Mark is looking for Claude?""Ever since Howard's incident, Leonard and Claude's relationship with Mark has become quite strange. No. I should say that the relationship between all the Principals has been a little mysterious."Gwen paused for a while, looking at Curtis. "You've always been with Yvonne. Do you know her next step?""Yvonne has taken over Well Spring Pharma under Leonard's instructions. As for her next step …" Curtis scratched his head. "I really don't know."Gwen's frown deepened. "Why is Leonard being so nice to Yvonne? I'm sure Claude doesn't know
"Leonard, you're old. Don't get worked up so easily. Mind your body."Mark still remained calm despite Leonard's fury. "I've only arranged for people to keep an eye out for you two. It's for your own sake. After all, you two are old. If anything were to happen, I'm afraid I wouldn't be on time."Leonard sneered. "You're just afraid that we two old farts will still make your life miserable, right?""You're being too serious," Mark smirked menacingly. "I've managed to come this far. Do you think I'm still afraid of you two? I just don't want to see you doing things that would make me unhappy."Mark looked at Leonard intently. "You've gotten into a fight with Claude because of Yvonne, right? You sure are gutsy to still side with her.""What nonsense are you talking about?" Leonard's gaze darkened. "Claude and I are doing well. Stop—""Grandpa Leonard, what happened to you and Grandpa?" Jane's voice suddenly rang out.Leonard was stunned. He immediately turned to look. "Jane, why
A thousand thoughts flashed through Mark's mind. From his understanding of Leonard, the sly fox, the only reason he would dare to say that must be because he has another trick up his sleeve. Or perhaps he had already sent Claude somewhere else.If Mark were to still insist on a search and nothing came up, he wouldn't be able to explain himself.At that thought, Mark smiled and said ambiguously, "It looks like I've miscalculated a step."Then, he got up and nodded at Leonard. "I'm sorry for intruding today. I hope you don't blame me."Leonard said nothing. His gaze was icy.Mark snickered nonchalantly and headed for the door. He suddenly stopped in his tracks and turned to look at Jane. "By the way, Ms. Ford, you only have one grandfather. You have to pay more attention to him."Jane was stunned. She looked at Mark's retreating figure in a daze. She slowly came to her senses. His words had a double meaning.Mark emphasized that she only had one grandfather. He was hinting at he
