Yvonne turned to look and smiled. "You're here."Stephen walked over to her. He subtly cast Otto a cold gaze. The night breeze was chilly, but his gaze was frosty.Otto sneered inwardly. He took a step back and bade Yvonne farewell. "Thank you for telling me all of that, Ms. Miller. Now that Mr. Anderson is here, I won't be in your way.""Okay." Yvonne looked at Otto leaving. Suddenly, a hand was right in front of her eyes.Yvonne couldn't help but chuckle. She looked at Stephen. "What? Can't I even look at a man's back?""What were you two talking about?" Stephen asked coldly."Mr. Carrington was here to pass me something." Yvonne waved the detonator in her hand. "Calbert took this from one of the men. Apparently, there's still a bomb here that we haven't found yet."Stephen furrowed his brows.Yvonne leaned against the railing. "Luckily, I wasn't that arrogant to get them to set off all the detonators. If not, we would have been done for."Seeing how lightly she was taking

"Not long ago, Carrington Ventures reached out to Claude's businesses at Ms. Miller's request. Many people in charge of those companies have expressed a strong desire to collaborate."Otto cut right to the chase. "This is the contract all of them have signed. You can all have a look at it. If you have any objections, please feel free to raise them."Then, Otto gave his assistants a look.Soon, a copy of the contract was handed to each of Emerald Group's executives.The executives looked at the contract. As they read it, their expressions turned uglier.The contract clearly stated that the persons in charge would hand over the management of the companies to Yvonne. Moreover, the company's future development and capital operations would be taken over by Carrington Ventures.It was obvious that Carrington Ventures had extended an olive branch to all of them and had them side with Yvonne.Only now that everything was finalized did they realize that Yvonne had just been stalling at

At the infirmary at Hope Health Services, Gwen had finished watching the news. She turned to see Curtis pretending to be asleep. The lights on the screen of his phone sold him out.She was perplexed. She got up and walked over to the bed. "Why are you secretly looking at your phone instead of sleeping? Do you care about your health at all?"Curtis was startled. He immediately pressed his phone against his chest and looked at Gwen. "Weren't you watching the live broadcast news?""It ended a long time ago." Gwen looked at his phone suspiciously. "Are you following the news on the attack?""I-I … Of course, I'm following the news." Curtis stuttered. "I-It's just … I was engrossed in the comments, so I didn't realize you had finished watching the news.""I see." Gwen crossed her arms and looked at Curtis intently. "Tell me. What are people saying?""The comments …" Curtis scratched his head. "They all said that the attack was really terrifying …"Seeing Curtis scratch his head, Gwen

"Gwen has gotten in an accident!" Ever since Yvonne had received Jim's call, she had been in a trance. She immediately got on a plane and headed back to Hope Health Services. She moved emotionlessly and didn't say a single word throughout the entire journey.Stephen was following closely behind her. He didn't dare to take his eyes off her for a second.Calbert and Otto were following behind them. They looked equally glum.When they arrived at Hope, Yvonne saw Jim standing by the entrance, waiting for them. She quickly went forward and grabbed his arm. "Where's Gwen? Where is she?"Yvonne's throat was dry. Her voice trembled as utter fear gripped her heart.Jim looked apologetic. "She's in the mortuary.""No! That's impossible!" Yvonne lost it. "Grandpa, don't joke around with me, please! How could Gwen be in such a place? Wasn't she looking after Curtis?"Tears streamed down Yvonne's face. She had held it in for the entire journey. She had even thought that perhaps it wo

Mark had deliberately looked at the camera to provoke her. He had been hinting that the game had just started.Also, Mark's target was the people close to Yvonne. He knew that this would torment her much more than it would if he were to take her down in one go.The more Yvonne thought about it, the more intense her hatred became. What followed was a fear of the unknown.She turned to look at Calbert. "I might need your help with Hope's security and also with Cory. You have to try to distract him. Don't let him help Mark again."Calbert nodded. "I was planning to do just that.""Thank you." Yvonne's gaze sharpened. "I'll arrange for Emerald Group to quickly locate Mark. He should still be in the city. This time, I'll capture him myself."Yvonne lowered her voice without realizing it. Her tone was filled with murderous intent.…After leaving the security department, Yvonne headed to the mortuary once more. Stephen was still following closely behind.As she entered the corridor,
