Otto seemed to have noticed. He asked Yvonne curiously, "Do you know him?""Sort of." Yvonne tapped her fingers on the document. "I remembered that he's one of Mark's men, but I don't know why he's the person in charge of Claude's transport company."Yvonne knew Rhys quite well. She had used to call him Officer Hudson.When she had just joined Emerald Group, Rhys had been Mark's right-hand man. Since Mark didn't like her, Rhys had often bullied her during training.The training had been hell, but Yvonne had soldiered through it all. There had been many times when Rhys had made her train to the point where she was half-dead. Only then did he let her go. After a year of intense training, Rhys had suddenly vanished. No one had known where he had gone. As time had passed, Yvonne had slowly forgotten about him. When she saw his photo once more, she couldn't help but lament about how cruel the time was. Rhys looked completely different. He was so fat that she could barely recogni
"That's right. I asked Carrington Ventures for help."Yvonne pulled up a chair and sat opposite Rhys. "Claude has passed, but someone needs to manage his assets. If not, the mess might disrupt the harmony at Emerald Group."Rhys snickered. "Well said, but who knows if you're doing this for Emerald Group or if you want to monopolize Claude's assets?"When the other people in charge heard that, they started discussing it among themselves."When Claude was alive, he had grudges against Ms. Y. He has barely entered his grave, yet Ms. Y is already eyeing his assets. How disrespectful.""If Claude is up in heaven seeing this, he would surely not want us to work with her. Claude has taken good care of us for so many years. We can't turn our backs on him at such a time, right?""Luckily, we listened to Mr. Hudson. If not, Claude would be weeping in his grave!"Yvonne knew they were deliberately doing this. She nonchalantly smiled. "I was the one who organized a funeral for Claude. I m
Yvonne gently chuckled. "I'm sorry, I don't think your men will be coming."Rhys was a little baffled. "You …""When I arrived, I noticed a few thugs outside. I got some people to deal with them. I didn't know they were your men."While talking, Yvonne put her hand on Otto's arm. She hinted at him not to worry. Otto returned to his seat.He looked at Yvonne as she approached Rhys. He was still nervous.In the split moment that Rhys charged at Yvonne, before he could see clearly what had happened, Rhys, a fat, 1.8-meter-tall man, had been pinned on the table violently!Otto was stunned. How was Yvonne so strong?Yvonne looked at Rhys' malicious face. "Officer Hudson, it looks like you haven't been training. Why are your reflexes so slow? Are you not afraid you'll die here?""You …" Rhys panicked, but his arms were stuck under her tight grip. If he were to resist, his bones would dislocate!He had been living a good life in the transport company for a long time. He couldn't take
That night, Rhys went to a clinic to get his dislocated wrist fixed. On his way home, the more he thought about what had happened, the more humiliated he felt."Damn it!" He spat on the ground. If he hadn't been living such a good life for a long time, he wouldn't have lost to that bitch tonight!"How humiliating!" Rhys swore while entering his house. When he saw Mark sitting in his living room, he jumped. "M-Mark! You've returned. I was wondering why I didn't see your car at the restaurant."Rhys smiled ingratiatingly and headed over to Mark. "Tonight was a mistake. I never thought that bitch, Yvonne, would be so cruel. Don't worry. Give me another chance. I'll deal with her!"Mark looked up expressionlessly. Rhys' legs turned to jelly.Mark looked away and said coldly, "Don't embarrass yourself.""I …" Rhys was at a loss for words. He lowered his head.He had just witnessed Yvonne's ferocity. He had no qualms bitching about her privately, but he would never dare to face her
"You …" Rhys thought about how his wrist had been dislocated the night before. He was still a little apprehensive.The transport company was his territory. He couldn't be a coward in front of Yvonne. That would be too embarrassing.Standing on the other side, Otto seemed to have read Rhys' mind. He said slowly, "Carrington Ventures is not one to mess with either. I dare you to try."Rhys gritted his teeth. He had almost forgotten that Carrington Ventures was supporting Yvonne!Although this man seemed polite, seeing how he was by Yvonne's side, he surely wasn't an ordinary man. Not to mention how calm he was.Rhys hesitated for a while. He asked, "You wouldn't come for nothing. Is there something you want to talk to me about, Ms. Y?""Not really." Yvonne walked over to Rhys in her high heels. "I only need an answer to one question."Rhys got nervous as he saw Yvonne approaching him. "What is it?""Where is Mark?"Rhys looked surprised for a split second. Then, he immediately
"Did I say that as long as you come clean, I wouldn't send you to the training camp?" Yvonne calmly asked without any expression on her face.Rhys came to his senses. He bellowed, "You bitch! You lied to me!"Suddenly, the door was kicked open. A dozen men in black swarmed in and surrounded Rhys.Yvonne didn't even look at him. She coldly instructed, "Send him where he needs to be.""Yes, Ms. Y!" the men in black replied in unison. Rhys' face was as pale as a sheet. When Otto saw Yvonne leaving the office, he quickly chased after her. He asked curiously, "What is the training camp?""A living hell."It sounded terrifying.Otto was a little stunned. He subconsciously asked, "You called Mr. Hudson 'officer'. W-Were you also once at the training camp?""Is that strange?" Yvonne looked at Otto. "Everyone who joins Emerald Group needs to go through the test of the training camp. Different people have different tests."She continued, "Emerald Group takes in a group of orphans wh
Yvonne was a little perplexed at Otto's silence. "Your engagement with Ms. Ferguson is a good thing. Why didn't you tell me?"Otto wasn't willing to discuss this matter. He spoke about Agatha instead. "I understand my great-grandmother too well. She isn't just stopping our collaboration."Yvonne nodded. "That's right. Well Spring Pharma has already received quite a lot of calls to terminate contracts."Rory had sounded extremely anxious on the phone. The news of Hope Health Services' acquisition of Well Spring Pharma had been quite a sensation before this. If anything happened to Well Spring Pharma at that moment, naturally, it would affect Hope Health Services as well.Rory had figured that out, which was why he had called Yvonne immediately to ask what he should do about Agatha.However, Yvonne still had no idea.Agatha wasn't such a petty person, right? Was she really doing this because Yvonne had stood up to her? She had even deliberately brought Otto's fiancée a thousand m
After some persuasion from Ella, Agatha finally left Well Spring Pharma angrily.The next time she appeared in Well Spring Pharma for the appointment, she looked even grumpier.Since Yvonne hadn't arrived, Rory was still the one who welcomed her. Rory was secretly grumbling inwardly. Facing a bad-tempered granny was much worse than a tough client.Rory handed a cup of hot tea to Agatha with trembling hands. "Have some tea. Ms. Miller will be here soon."Agatha immediately slammed her hand down the table. "What is going on with her? How rude of her to make an elderly woman wait for her!"Rory was a little helpless. "You arrived early. Ms. Miller—""She's still seeing her elder! She should be early! She doesn't have any sense of manners at all!"Yvonne overheard Agatha's words as she entered the office. Her hand paused on the doorknob for a while. Then, she said with an ambiguous smile, "Mrs. Carrington Senior, you'll hurt your body by getting so worked up."Agatha looked over
