"Take a guess. Do you think Claude and Leonard know about Jade's incident?" Stephen asked casually."I guess so, after all …" Yvonne suddenly came to a realization. "You want me to use this opportunity to tell Claude and Leonard about my hatred for Mark so that they will trust me more and perhaps even help me out?"Stephen smiled in response. As expected, Yvonne had understood it immediately.Right at this moment, her phone vibrated on the desk. Yvonne switched modes on her phone and saw that it was a call from Leonard. Her eyes glimmered slyly. "Speak of the devil."Stephen watched on as Yvonne answered the call. She had been smiling a moment ago, yet the moment she picked up the call, her expression darkened. He was shocked at how quickly her expression had changed."Can I help you, Leonard?" Yvonne asked coldly."Uh …" Leonard asked tentatively, "I've heard about what happened to Howard Hough. I never thought that Mark would be so unethical. I'll talk to him.""No need."

When the plane landed, Jade was soon handed over to the medical staff, who had been waiting for them for a long time.Jim knew that Yvonne must be exhausted from this trip, so he forbade her to come along with him. Instead, he got Stephen to take her home to rest.Yvonne couldn't argue with Jim, so she obeyed.Returning to the mansion, Yvonne took a shower. When she came out of the bathroom, drying her hair with a towel, she heard a knock on the door.She opened the door to see Stephen with a bottle of red wine and two glasses in his hands. She smiled. "How did you know I wanted a drink tonight?""You've just returned to headquarters. Your mind won't rest easily." Stephen entered her room. "You're no robot. You can't switch off whenever you want. If you really went to bed like this, you would be up all night."Yvonne chuckled gently and closed the door. Then, she headed over to Stephen by the floor-to-ceiling window. They sat on the floor with a glass of red wine each.Her hai

"Who would have thought that you would get to see your number one fan so quickly?" Yvonne pointed at the document. "Jane Ford is Neil Foster's goddaughter. What a coincidence, right?"Stephen was a little stunned. "Is that so?""It's only normal." Yvonne shrugged. "As they say, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. If Mark and Neil were competitors, Leonard and Claude would never give up the chance to be friends with Neil. "I wasn't familiar with their twisted relationships in the past because I never asked about their businesses before."Yvonne got engrossed in the documents once more before saying pensively, "Perhaps Claude and Leonard played a hand in stopping Mark and Neil from tearing at each other's throats.""It's possible," Stephen said calmly."It's just nice." Yvonne smiled. "If I approach Neil, Claude and Leonard will know that I really want to go up against Mark. They would naturally trust me more."The more she got to understand Mark, Claude, and Leonard better,

Claude noticed that Leonard was a little distracted. He asked curiously, "What happened? What were you and Yvonne talking about?""She …" Leonard glanced at Neil in the distance before leaning in closer to Claude and whispering in his ear, "Yvonne is interested in Mark's metal business.""What!" Claude's eyes widened as he looked at Leonard. "Has Yvonne gone mad? If Mark finds out, he will skin her alive.""I always knew that she was ambitious, but I never expected …" Halfway through his sentence, Leonard noticed Yvonne and Stephen coming over. So he stopped talking and hinted at Claude that they would continue the conversation later.Everyone raised their glasses to Neil, and the party officially began.After a few rounds, Neil realized that Yvonne's alcohol tolerance was quite great. It made him like her even more. He pulled her over and drank a few more rounds with her.In between, Stephen had helped her with two glasses. However, Neil was exhilarated from drinking. He didn'

The party was still going on. Claude hadn't seen Jane for almost 20 minutes. He was just about to get up to look for her when he saw her wade through the crowd and walk toward him."Why were you gone for so long?"Jane looked at Claude distractedly. She hesitated before responding, "I-I bumped into Yvonne in the ladies' room. Then, I took a call.""You talked to Yvonne?""Yes." Jane scanned around. "Where are they?""They went upstairs. Yvonne got drunk, so she's staying the night." Claude pulled Jane alone back to their seats. He quietly reminded her, "We're here to celebrate Neil's birthday. We're not in our own house. "You have to mind your manners. Do you hear me? If you continue behaving the way you did tonight, I won't be able to help you.""Okay," Jane responded, feeling annoyed. She took a sip of her drink and hesitated for a while before asking, "Grandpa, did you get Chuck to deal with Jade?"Claude was surprised. "How did you know?""Chuck called me just now. He s
