In his room, Britney was standing behind Elvin, questioning him, "Why are you ignoring me?"Elvin didn't even look at her and continued typing away on his laptop.Britney was unhappy. She pouted and randomly hit the keyboard."What are you doing?" Elvin got angry and shoved Britney away, making her fall to the ground on her butt. She was in so much pain that she hugged her doll and bawled out crying.Soon, Yvonne and Stephen heard her cries. They pushed open the door to see Britney on the floor crying, whereas Elvin was coding."It hurts." Britney sobbed. Seeing Stephen coming toward her, she felt even more aggrieved. "Dad …"Stephen bent down to pick her up. He gently coaxed, "Don't cry. Tell me, what happened?""He …" Britney pointed at Elvin. "He refused to play with me. He even pushed me away …"Hearing what Britney said, Yvonne said sternly, "Elvin, this is no way to treat someone."Elvin replied without looking. "She destroyed the code I was writing."Before this, Elvin

When Britney was asleep, Stephen gently picked up the doll and quietly walked out of the room.He opened the door to his room and turned on the lights. His focus was on the doll, so he didn't notice that Ariel was in his room. When he closed the door, he finally heard Ariel's shy voice. "Stephen, I've waited for you a long time."Stephen looked up suddenly and instantly looked away after one glance. His expression turned ugly. He rebuked her, saying, "What are you doing?"His reaction distinguished Ariel's last ray of hope. She'd made a huge decision to wear a thin, sheer sleeping gown, but Stephen had merely given her one glance and found it despicable.Ariel was disappointed, but she still forced a smile and walked over to Stephen. "Stephen, we're engaged. We're going to do this sooner or later, right?" She had two glasses of red wine in her hand. She'd already drunk some alcohol to muster her courage before this. At that moment, Ariel was a little intoxicated and looked at S

Before Yvonne could reply, Noah walked over to the table and sat down on a chair. It was clear that he felt comfortable and didn't consider himself an outsider at all. Hayden noticed Yvonne waving her away and left the office.In an instant, only the two of them were left in the office. "So what's the big business deal you want to talk about, Mr. Noah?" Yvonne asked with interest. Curling up the corner of his lips, Noah replied, "You'll get half of Anderson Group." Then, he calmly added, "Let me make things clear with you today, Ms. Miller. When I said that I wanted to pursue you back then, I was also drawn to your assets as well as your capabilities. I thought if we joined forces, it would be just a matter of time before we snatched Anderson Group from Stephen. However, it seems that I was wrong." He let out a self-deprecating laugh. "It had never occurred to me that you're such a wild person, Ms. Miller. My mother and I were really caught off guard that day." Yvonne narr

On the other hand, Yvonne was lying on the bed when she received a message from Stephen."What did Noah say to you today?" he asked.At first, she didn't want to reply to him. However, he sent her a series of three question marks after that."He said he wants to give me half of Anderson Group," she replied reluctantly. "You're not interested?" he asked. "Who wouldn’t be interested in money?" she typed back. Regardless, she simply despised Noah's way of doing things. "I can give it to you too," Stephen said.Just as Yvonne was about to criticize Stephen and Noah for being a disgrace to their family, Stephen added, "I'll give it to you after Anderson Group and Miller Jewels merge together. It so happens that Anderson Group doesn't have a jewelry business yet."Yvonne was at a loss for words. "What a great tactic. He doesn't want to suffer any losses," she thought.Afraid that she would get too worked up if she continued to chat with him, Yvonne decisively exited the messagi

At night, Yvonne took the flight directly to the border. It was already dawn when her flight landed. As soon as she stepped out of the gates, Howard's subordinate immediately walked up to her. "Ms. Y, you're finally here! You have to speak up for Mr. Howard!" Yvonne had gotten a rough idea of the situation before coming here. Two months ago, Mark had assigned a stranger he'd brought over to a new mining site. Since then, that man had been throwing his weight around, taking advantage of Mark's support.Not only had that man poached Howard's employees by offering them higher salaries, but he'd also often snatched business deals from him, causing a tense relationship between the two mining sites. Howard didn't want to offend Mark, so he endured it over and over again. It wasn't until they sat down for a negotiation yesterday that Howard blew his top upon hearing that man mention his daughter, Jade. They broke out into a fight in the end, leaving Howard in the hospital with a broken
