"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
"Ms. Ford has escaped!" An urgent voice sounded from the other end of the line, followed by scurried footsteps.Yvonne was wide awake. She immediately sat up. "What's going on?""Ms. Ford knocked a nurse unconscious last night. She changed into the nurses' clothes and ran out of the asylum. The nurse woke up this morning and reported the incident."The warden was extremely anxious. He had called Yvonne while instructing the others to look around."Her identity documents are still with us. She shouldn't have gone far! We'll look for her!""Okay, thank you." Yvonne hung up her phone and rubbed the middle of her brows. She was no longer sleepy.Jane's running away wasn't an urgent matter. After all, she had nowhere to go, and no one would take her in. She wouldn't be able to do any harm. She might even suffer a whole lot outside and return.At that moment, Yvonne would never think that a person at wit's end would be determined to risk it all.…Just when everyone was looking all
"Don't be nervous."Kendrick scrutinized each and every one of Cory's subordinates. "I'm just handing in my weapon first to show that I'm really here to talk."Cory's gaze darkened. He didn't buy a single word Kendrick said.This wasn't showing sincerity. This was a threat.Moreover, he knew that Kendrick had come prepared. He surely had far more men than the ones in the room.All of these thoughts ran through Cory's mind in a short time. After analyzing the situation, he calmed down. He looked at the pistol. "Tell me. What do you want to talk to me about?""Let's talk about our misunderstanding."Kendrick played with the pistol and said distractedly, "You and I know that we have to end things sooner or later, but before that, I feel that there is a need to clear the air. "I don't want either one of us to die in vain if we have to fight to the death in the future."Kendrick always had this thought on his mind. He wasn't afraid of death, but he didn't want to die in vain.H
