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
Otto said without any change in expression, "I've rejected this marriage since the beginning. You were the one who insisted on going on with the engagement ceremony. "Sp I could only prove how serious I am by not attending. This decision has nothing to do with Ms. Miller.""Nothing to do with her?" Agatha was so furious, she laughed. "Then, why are you here right now? You're just standing up for her, right?""Hold up." Yvonne could no longer take it and interrupted them firmly. "Mrs. Carrington, from what I'm hearing, you're not here to settle a score with me because I offended you at the Carrington family dinner, but because you suspect me of interfering with Mr. Carrington and Ms. Ferguson's relationship?"Agatha glared at her. "Am I wrong? Otto only became like this because he met you! "You used him to help Well Spring Pharma get out of trouble, then you persuaded him not to attend his engagement! Who knows what unruly things he will do to please you in the future?"Otto
"I have never thought of it." Otto looked at Agatha intently. "Great-Grandma, I make every decision after thinking it through thoroughly. It has nothing to do with Ms. Miller."He added, "Since you have let me handle the family business, you should trust me and not come to make things difficult for my partners."Agatha's expression turned ugly. "If I can let you handle the family business, I can take it back at any time! Don't think that the family business can't operate without you!"Otto remained unfazed. "You have the right to do so. I have no opinions on this.""You …" Agatha sprang up. She trembled a little. "Alright! I see you're gutsy now! I can't control you anymore. I'm not going to! That's it!"Then, she left in a huff.Ella panicked. She wanted to go after Agatha, but she couldn't bear to leave Otto alone. She tugged on Otto's sleeve and pleaded, "Otto, don't be mad at Great-Grandma. Can't you just give in to her? Why do you have to cause such a huge scene?"Otto
The next evening, Yvonne had finished a meeting and was about to leave work on time. She left the meeting room to see Ella standing there, waiting for her.Yvonne felt a little helpless. When would this shitshow end?Ella walked over to Yvonne with hostility in her eyes. "Great-Grandma Agatha and Otto fought again last night. She's really going to take back Otto's management rights. "Is this the result you wanted to see? Yvonne, can you leave Otto alone? You will only hurt him!"Yvonne was rather speechless. "Ms. Ferguson, do you really think that Mr. Carrington argued with Mrs. Carrington Senior because of me?""Why else? Otto would never do this to Great-Grandma Agatha. He—""It looks like you really don't understand Mr. Carrington at all." Yvonne crossed her arms around her chest. "Even without me, Mr. Carrington would still quarrel with Mrs. Carrington Senior. He isn't doing this for me. He's doing this for himself."Ella was confused. "What do you mean by that?""If you
