At the hospital, Kai timidly handed the documents to Neil."Mr. Foster, Ms. Miller asked me to hand this to you. She handed over all her duties today."Neil threw the stack of documents to the floor.He berated Kai, "Didn't I ask you to make her stay? Now you're telling me she has already handed over her duties. How useless can you be?"Kai lowered his head. "I-I tried to persuade her, but she was insistent on leaving. She said she didn't want to come between you and Ms. Ford."At that moment, the door to the room opened. Jane entered with an exquisite-looking lunchbox. She said with a smile, "Uncle Neil, if Yvonne wants to leave, let her go. You don't have to beg her to stay."Neil's gaze darkened. "Why are you here?""I'm the only one who cares for you." Jane went over to the side of the bed. She placed the lunchbox by the nightstand. "Uncle Neil, I've really thought about it. If I really lost my temper at you, I would have fallen into Yvonne's trap. She—""Shut up!" Neil

That night, after Yvonne tucked Elvin in bed, she heard someone knock on the door.She gently got down from the bed.She opened the door to see Jade standing nervously in the corridor. Yvonne was curious. "What is it?""Is El asleep?" Jade asked."He just fell asleep." Yvonne took a step out of the room and closed the door behind her. "We can talk in the living room.""Okay." Jade nodded. She followed Yvonne downstairs.Yvonne went to the kitchen and poured two glasses of water. She passed one to Jade. "You must be exhausted after playing with the children today.""It was alright. Britney is adorable, and El is …" Jade racked her brain for an apt way to describe him. She found out that nothing could describe the feeling that Elvin gave her.Elvin was such a special child. He was like a miniature version of Stephen."El would surely grow up to become an amazing person like Mr. Anderson," Jade said seriously.Yvonne chuckled. "That would be worrying. Having two Stephens in my

Leonard entered the study and looked at Claude sternly. "I overheard everything you said. By calling Neil right now, are you trying to blow things out of proportion or trying to get yourself a few more enemies?""Leonard, Neil is clearly siding with Yvonne! Are you asking me to just stand down and ignore this? I can't do that!"Claude was just about to take his phone out when Leonard stopped him. "You can already see that Neil is siding with Yvonne. Is there a need to call him? What good will it do you to argue with Neil?"Leonard glared at Claude. "Think about our situation right now. If we offend another person, that is one more risk we have to take. Don't let emotions cloud your judgment.""But …" Jane chimed in reluctantly. "Grandpa Leonard, are you saying I have to just swallow this bitter pill of indignation? Uncle Neil was really mean! He—""I know he has crossed a line this time, but everyone is too worked up right now. A phone call will only add fuel to the fire. Not on

Once Yvonne answered the call, Neil calmly said, "Ms. Miller, I've been discharged from the hospital.""Congratulations," Yvonne replied. She continued signing some documents."I just met with Leonard, Claude, and Jane."Yvonne paused a little. "What?""Because of Jade's incident, I lost my temper with Jane. She couldn't take it, so she went to complain about me to Claude."Neil chuckled. He looked like a completely different person from when he had been in the room with Leonard, Claude, and Jane a moment ago.He continued, "That girl has been spoiled rotten since she was young. She's too selfish. I won't let her go off the hook that easily this time since she offended you. No matter what, I'll teach her a lesson."Yvonne put her pen down and leaned back in thought. "Mr. Foster, you don't have to do this for me. In fact—""No, no." Neil was serious. "I didn't deal with this matter properly, so I should bear the responsibility. I should apologize to you as well."At that poin

The Anderson Group had never gotten into the metal business before. On top of that, the investment in Neil's business was a huge sum. Hence, Stephen still had to take the lead on this project to quell his shareholders' worries.Thus, he had to leave for a while.Before leaving, Stephen had to console Britney, who was hugging his leg, unwilling to let go. "You be a good girl. I'll be back before Christmas to be with all of you.""No! I don't want to be a good girl!" Britney sobbed. "I want to go with you!"Stephen smiled helplessly. "There are so many people here with you. Isn't that great?""No, it isn't!" Britney bawled out, crying. "I want to be with you! I want to be with you!"Even though Elvin seemed disgusted, he was secretly a little envious. He looked away and stopped looking at how Britney climbed into Stephen's arms.Stephen was hugging Britney, letting her wipe her tears and snot on his suit.Meanwhile, Yvonne was happily watching the show. It was really interest
