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
After Kendrick left, Cory remained in that position for a long time. There seemed to be an air of frost so thick that no one dared to approach him. They didn't even dare to breathe.Benji's phone vibrated once more, cutting through the overbearing silence. He instantly broke out in a cold sweat. He quickly took his phone out. He wanted to turn it off, but he accidentally answered the call.Soon, Jane's frantic voice rang out. "Help me! I beg you! Help me!"Obviously, Benji didn't dare to respond. He hung up immediately. However, it was too late.Cory looked at Benji coldly. "Are you still in contact with that woman?""N-No." Benji nervously explained, "You told me to ignore her. I wouldn't dare to defy you. She keeps sending me messages asking for help. I …"It wasn't that Benji had never thought of blocking her number. He just couldn't bear to do it, given how much she looked like Ashley.The moment he had received her first SOS message, he had secretly looked into her curren
Jane had been hiding in the dumpster for three days. At that moment, she could no longer bear it. She lay in the heap of trash, letting the rotten smell overwhelm her.She was hungry and thirsty, not to mention a little delirious. She only had one thought keeping her conscious. As long as Benji got here, she would live.That night, Jane received a call from Benji asking her where she was. After she told him the address, she had been about to ask him when he was going to come and get her when the call ended. Her phone had run out of battery.Jane held onto the dead phone tightly, telling herself that she would soon leave this place.But why hadn't anyone come to rescue her yet?Jane looked through the crack in the dumpster. Her eyes turned sore, but she was so dehydrated that no tears formed.Had Benji regretted it? She was the heiress of the Ford family. Was she going to die in a dumpster? If she died here, she would be so embarrassed to see Claude.Just when she was in despai
