Chapter 844 Walking Into the Lion’s Den
"Mark invited me to a meeting next month." Stephen was silent for a while before continuing, "In fact, Emerald Group had invited me several times a long time ago. They say it was a meeting for the world's wealthiest people."A private gathering exclusively for influential people. That would undoubtedly involve many favors and under-the-table deals.Stephen had always declined the invitation because he felt it was too troublesome to deal with them.After being turned down twice, the Group had never invited Stephen again. This time, Mark had personally invited him, saying that Yvonne would be attending as a Principal. Stephen had no reason to turn him down.Yvonne furrowed her brows, lost in thought. She couldn't understand what Mark was up to."We'll know once we're there, right?"Hearing Stephen's voice, Yvonne came to her senses. "I'm only afraid we're walking into the lion's den, and we won't be able to come out of it."Stephen found her adorable, looking so serious. "Don't
Chapter 845 How Efficient
At Miller Villa, Yvonne and the others had just had their breakfast when they heard the doorbell ring.Lloyd opened the door to see Stephen in casual wear. He found it odd. "Mr. Anderson, why are you dressed that way?""To go camping." Stephen looked at Yvonne and Elvin. "I've packed everything. You can just come along. Britney is waiting for you in the car."Yvonne was stunned. Stephen had spared no time in taking action.As usual, Elvin ignored him and headed upstairs."I'll go and ask Elvin," Yvonne said before following up the stairs. When she entered his room, Yvonne asked, "Don't you want to go?"Elvin said nothing. Yvonne went in closer and persuaded him. "Look at how good the weather is. Wouldn't it be a pity not to go camping? Why should you give up such good weather because of an evil man?"Elvin looked at the blue skies outside and furrowed his brows. He was conflicted.Yvonne looked at the new drone he had on this table and tried one more time. "Didn't you alway
Chapter 846 I'm the Father
Yvonne turned to Stephen and said, "I'll go and take a look."Stephen stood still, his eyes following her as she walked toward Elvin.The boy's parents yanked Elvin away from their son instantly and gave him a push.Elvin staggered for a bit. If it hadn't been for Yvonne, he would have fallen down.Yvonne glared at them, making the couple shiver in fear.Yet the boy's mother managed to keep herself together for the sake of her son. "What are you looking at? Do you think you have a say in this? Your son started it first! Look at how he bullied my son!" Yvonne refuted mockingly, "But I saw your son take the first swing.""N—nonsense! He's such an angel; there's no way he would've done that!" The mother clasped the boy in her embrace and wiped the tears from his face. "Sweetheart, why don't you tell Mommy how he bullied you?""He … grabbed my hand …" The boy sobbed. "It was so painful …"The mother glared at Yvonne menacingly after hearing what her son said. "Did you hear that
Chapter 847 So Is This Your Way of Parenting
The boy's father smiled sheepishly. "It's common for kids to bicker. As adults, we don't have to make things complicated over something trivial like this, right?"When Yvonne saw him suddenly determined to make peace, she snickered. "Now you want to brush things off after the truth has been revealed. Did you think it was going to be that easy?"She turned toward the boy's mother. "You and your son owe us an apology. I can tell from your behavior that you're a really 'good' role model for your son."No wonder he chose to resort to violence rather than apologize when he was in the wrong. So is this your way of parenting?"Sensing Yvonne's sarcasm, the boy's mother retorted hastily, "Don't you dare fool me! That little girl is one of yours as well. Of course she'll side with you! You just want to bully us peasants because you're rich and powerful! Just how ridiculous is this?"She attempted to egg the crowd on, yelling with all her might, "Everyone, this is how rich people are! The
Chapter 848 So That Was How Powerful His Dad Was
When they were back at the campsite, Yvonne murmured, "If it hadn't been for you, I would have slapped that woman.""Oh yeah?"Stephen smiled a little. "You should've hinted at me. I could have just appeared afterward.""Nevermind." Yvonne waved airily. "My hand would have hurt if I really had slapped her. She's just that thick-faced."Stephen chuckled. Yvonne was still as cute as she used to be when she was angry.Yvonne pulled Elvin over and asked him tenderly, "Did that boy hurt you just now?"Elvin shook his head, shifting his gaze toward Stephen. He had just realized how it felt to be cared for by his father.Back when he had been studying overseas, he had been bullied by other kids for not having a father. So when that boy's mother had insulted him earlier, Elvin hadn't felt anything in particular. He was already used to it.The only thing that had made him feel strange was seeing Stephen stand up for him as his father. He had even claimed Elvin as his son.Elvin h
Chapter 849 Do You Want to Get Our Family Into Trouble
"Mr. Anderson. Ms. Miller."Julian approached the couple with an embarrassed look. He hadn't wanted to interrupt them since they looked to be in their world.However, the boy's parents had taken too long to settle the payment. The boy's father had also talked his wife into apologizing to them.He followed Julian, dragging both his son and his reluctant wife along. He immediately put on an awkward smile once he saw Stephen. "Mr. Anderson, we went overboard this morning. Now that we've paid for the damages, we're here to formally apologize to you as well. Could you please just let us off the hook this time?" He looked down at Stephen's feet and also made sure that his son had hung his head in shame. The boy's mother was embarrassed by her husband. There was no way she would lower her head. Yvonne glanced at her. "What's the matter? It seems like you don't think you're in the wrong.""It's nothing like that," the boy's father replied in an instant while grabbing his wife h
Chapter 850 Don't Blame Her for Being Ruthless
When Yvonne saw the news, she was terrified. She had been very protective of Elvin and his safety. In particular, she had been worried that even a single photo of him would circulate online. But that boy's mother had ruined everything.Not only had his identity been leaked, but criticism of him was also widespread. Elvin was just a kid who wasn't even six years old! What had he done to deserve all this hate?Yvonne clutched her phone tightly. If she had known that things would turn out this way, she wouldn't have let that family off the hook so easily that day.She was already done with all the necessary arrangements through her network at Emerald Group before daybreak. As usual, she got up to prepare breakfast for Elvin. Elvin appeared at the dining table shortly. "Good morning, Mommy.""Morning, sweetheart."Elvin was already dressed neatly in his school uniform as she gave him his eggs and toast. A cold look appeared in Yvonne's eyes. She sat down beside Elvin and u
Chapter 851 Her Life Was Ruined Too
The boy's mother was shocked when she heard that. "Why can't our son go to school?""How would I—"As the boy's father entered the house, he was surprised to see what was going on in the living room. He stammered, "M—Mr. Anderson, what ... Why are you here?""You might want to ask your dear wife about that," Yvonne said casually. "Ask her what she did last night."As the realization sank in, the boy's father quickly went to his wife and asked, "What did you do?""I—"Before she could explain, his phone buzzed in his pocket. He retreated to the balcony to answer the call. Moments later, his voice grew frantic. "Why have I been suspended from work? I ..."The conversation on the phone rendered him speechless. After hanging up, he stormed toward his wife. Without a word, he slapped her.Startled, she held her stinging cheek and looked at him in disbelief. "Have you lost your mind? You—"Another slap followed, making her lose her balance, and she plopped to the ground.Seeing
