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
When Yvonne received the message, she raised an eyebrow. How would Leonard get Claude to obediently hand over his shares?She had just received a message from Curtis the day before that he and Gwen were heading over to Leonard's mansion and that they were following Mark.She guessed that during that time, Leonard had most probably found a way to deal with Claude after meeting Mark.It was getting harder for her to predict the way things were going. She was truly curious as to what was going on with Leonard and Claude.It was a pity she wouldn't get an answer, even if she asked.She thought about it for a while before replying, "Alright. Thank you, Leonard."Right this moment, a knock came on her door. She placed her phone down. "Enter."Jim entered and handed her a file. "This is a home visit order we received this morning. They appointed you personally. The client is a 106-year-old lady. The visit is scheduled for the middle of next month.""106 years old?" Yvonne was surprise
"I'm not going back," Gwen refused coldly. "As long as Mark is still alive, I won't be able to live a normal life.""I'm already finding ways to deal with—""That is your own business," Gwen interrupted Yvonne. "As for the grudge I have with Mark, I'll deal with it on my own.""But …" Yvonne was just about to say something when she saw Curtis standing behind Gwen, waving his hands at her and asking her to stop.Yvonne frowned and swallowed her words back down. She corrected herself. "You can continue, but you have to let Curtis follow you. I can't accept not hearing from you at all."Yvonne added immediately to shut Gwen up, "This isn't up for discussion."Curtis found the time to chime in. "Yvonne, don't worry. I'll look after Gwen. I won't let anything happen to her. If there is any danger, I'll be the first one to rush ahead."Yvonne said, "You stay safe too. You two need to keep watch over each other. You two must return to me safely."Curtis smiled innocently. "Okay!"
At the same time, Leonard knocked on Jane's door.Jane had just put on a facial sheet mask on her face. She mumbled, "Who is it?""It's me."Hearing Leonard's voice, Jane opened the door. "Grandpa Leonard. It's late. Is everything alright?"Leonard smiled affectionately. "It's nothing. I just wanted to check on how you're settling in, so I came over to have a chat with you.""With you around, I feel great," Jane said while letting Leonard enter her room. She plucked the facial mask off her face. "Have a seat. I'll go wash my face.""Okay." Leonard entered. While listening to the tap running, he reached into his pocket and pressed the record button on his recording pen.Soon after, Jane came out, wiping her face with a towel. She sat on the couch.Leonard slowly said, "I have something I need to do next month. Do you want to come with me?"Jane was curious. "What is it?""It's an important deal. I've been talking to the other party for a long time. They only recently agreed
After listening to Curtis' explanation, Gwen shrugged her hand off his. She quickened her footsteps and entered the elevator.When they were downstairs, they saw a black sedan leaving the mansion.Gwen wasted no time. She and Curtis got into the car, and they immediately chased after the sedan.On the way, Gwen maintained her distance from the other car, afraid that Leonard would notice them.Just like that, they passed through the bustling city and finally stopped outside a five-star hotel.Gwen stopped her car by the side of the road. She looked into the distance, watching as Leonard got down alone and headed into the hotel."So this is where Leonard is hiding Claude." Curtis took his phone out. "I'll inform Yvonne right away."Gwen stopped him."What's the rush? What if Leonard isn't here to see Claude? How are you going to explain to Yvonne then?"Gwen looked at the entrance of the hotel. "Once Leonard leaves, we'll go in and investigate. If Claude is really here, you ca
Ten minutes later, Leonard came out of the room with a contract in his hand.He stopped outside the door, took a photo of the contract, and sent it to Yvonne. "I've already gotten the transfer agreement. I'll send it to you soon."After sending the message, Leonard turned back to look at the door. His eyes gleamed coldly.As a precaution, he was planning to let Claude out only after the deal. But it was hard to say what Claude would do then.After all, from what he knew about Claude, the latter wasn't one to let this matter go so easily."Keep an eye on him. No one is to go near him without my permission.""Yes, sir!" the subordinate replied.Leonard strode away.Outside the hotel, Curtis saw Leonard leaving. He was about to open the door and get out when Gwen stopped him once more."Hold up!" Gwen reached out and pulled Curtis by the neck. She had a serious expression. She looked at the entrance of the hotel intently until a black sedan slowly came into view.Curtis looked w
