Mark?Yvonne furrowed her brows. "Why is he looking for you?""He asked me about Jade." Chuck looked like he had just experienced a shock. "Ms. Miller, what is going on with that patient? Why is Mark also asking about her?""Mark was the one who did this to her." Yvonne didn't doubt Chuck. After all, she had just seen Mark not long ago. It seemed logical that Mark would ask Chuck about Jade's situation."Other than that, did he say anything else?" Yvonne asked."No, but I could sense that he is quite hostile toward Jade …" Chuck asked tentatively, "Ms. Miller, did you piss Mark off recently?"Yvonne remained silent. She thought about her meeting with Mark that night. Could Mark be coming after people around her once more to teach her a lesson?The thought had just popped into her head. Yvonne was extremely irritated. Could he not come up with a new tactic?"Ms. Miller," Chuck called out. He pretended to give her advice out of the kindness of his heart. "Mark's a cruel man. Yo

Leonard's guard went up. "What do you want to ask us?""First, you got me to work with Chuck, and now you're planning to help me get the metal mine. These two incidents make it seem like you're helping me."Yvonne's gaze turned inquisitive. "You two put in so much effort into this. What are you trying to gain from me in the end? Don't tell me that it's all in the name of charity. "I like things to be clear. I also know that there is no such thing as a free lunch. If I don't ask you why you're helping me, I'm afraid that I might not be able to pay you back in the future."Upon hearing that, Leonard and Claude looked at each other.Leonard seemed to sigh in relief. Then, he chuckled. "Yvonne, this isn't something you have to worry about. We aren't helping you because we want something from you. "We just want to train you so that you will have what it takes to go up against Mark. In the future, you just need to remember how well we treated you."Leonard continued, "As for the thi

Half an hour later, Chuck was led into a room.When he saw Leonard and Claude, the men in black shoved him onto a chair before he could even say something.They did it forcefully, as if they wanted to break his shoulder into pieces.Chuck gasped in pain. "Ouch!""How can you explain yourself about Jade's situation?" Claude said sternly, "You assured us that you would work as quickly as possible. Now she's conscious. Tell me, have you come up with a plan?""I-I … didn't expect that she would come around so quickly. But don't worry. She has lost all of her memories from before she passed out." Chuck frantically told Leonard and Claude what he had heard about Jade's condition. He added, "It will be hard for her to regain her memories in a short time."Claude asked suspiciously, "Are you sure?""The moment I caught wind of the news, I went to verify it with the staff at Hope. Think about it. If Jade was fine, right now, you two would be …"Leonard's gaze darkened. He warned, "D

The bid had been going on for two hours. The atmosphere had grown tense. But Mark appeared unbothered. He seemed relaxed in his seat, resting his chin on his propped hand. He nonchalantly gazed at Stephen, who was sitting nearby.Stephen and Neil were his biggest competitors in this bid.Mark had Stephen’s bidding document in his hand. As for Neil, he had limited funds, so Mark knew that he couldn't outbid him.Thus, Mark was confident that the lead mine would be his.Still, he couldn't help but feel apprehensive as he looked at Stephen.Everything had proceeded perfectly up to this point. Suddenly, Mark recalled someone handing him Anderson Group’s bidding document.On second thought, he realized how absurd it was.Stephen was a smart guy. What was he planning on doing by sending him such a confidential document?"We will now announce the result of this bid …" The host’s words jolted Mark out of his thoughts.Hearing the host announce the winner, Mark's mind blanked.Among

For the sake of the lead mine, Neil agreed to have lunch with Yvonne.It appeared that Yvonne had been sure that Neil would accept her invitation. She had booked a table in advance at a high-end restaurant. Their table was in a prime spot by the window.Once they sat down, the waiter served decanted red wine.Neil was surprised. "You were confident that I would accept your invitation?""Yes." Yvonne chuckled. "After all, I had everything under control. I have at least that much confidence.""Under your control? Or Stephen's?" Neil laughed. "No matter what, it's still remarkable."Yvonne detected a hint of mockery in his tone. It sounded as though he believed that she had attained her position because of Stephen's backing."Even at this point, you're prejudiced against me because I'm a woman?"Yvonne calmly raised the wine glass. "Do you think Mr. Anderson helped me simply out of affection? If so, I'm afraid you have underestimated him."Neil fell speechless.This woman wa
