Julian looked at Stephen, too afraid to speak.

Yvonne continued to ask, "Is the matter related to me? Did Noah imply that you invested in Excel Pharma because of me?"

Upon hearing Yvonne’s guess, Julian was stunned. His face was brimming with admiration when he looked at Yvonne.

He was amazed by how quickly she had been able to figure it out.

Stephen reassured her. "Don't worry. He won’t be able to interfere with this project."

Yvonne reluctantly sighed, "I understand. But you can't stop people from talking behind your back, even if you have absolute say in Anderson Group."

Julian muttered, "That wasn't even the end of it …"

He continued, "Today, Mr. Noah also indirectly hinted that he was innocent. He said that his innocence will be proven once Mr. Anderson Senior wakes up."

"Julian!" Stephen called out in a stern voice.
