Stephen turned to look at Yvonne. "I'm helping you."Yvonne was enraged. "I don't need your help.""So, I'll leave?""You …" Yvonne pulled him back forcefully. She said through gritted teeth, "Don't you dare!"He had already made himself known. If he were to leave right now, Leonard and Claude would probably get suspicious!Stephen was in a pleasant mood after teasing Yvonne. "I've looked into them. I found out that they like to play golf whenever they get together, so I booked the entire golf course to wait for them.""Why are you looking into them? You—""I've told you. I want to help you." Stephen looked at her so sincerely that Yvonne felt rather uneasy. She looked away and grumbled, "I don't need your help. Stay out of this."Stephen ignored her. He shrugged Yvonne off and quickly followed Leonard and the others.Yvonne wasn't really interested in golf. She followed along while listening to them happily chat about golf. She felt a little bored.The golf course was hu

They entered a room. The server sent in some fruits and alcohol before leaving the room and closing the door.Instantly, the room was silent.Claude started a topic, recounting how fun it was to play golf with Stephen the other day."You sure hid your identity well! We only found out that you're the CEO of Anderson Group when we went back and looked into you!"Stephen nodded. "Compared to the two of you, my achievements are nothing."Leonard exclaimed, "You're being too modest!"Listening to their conversation, Mark raised an eyebrow with interest. "Mr. Anderson, I don't think you came all the way here just for a round of golf, right?"Stephen looked at Mark with an equally pompous stance. "I'm here to see you too. You promised to work together, yet you hurt my family. Aren't you going to give me an explanation?"Mark chuckled nonchalantly. "Mr. Anderson, what are you talking about? I have no idea. When did I hurt your family?""My grandfather fell into the lake, and then ther

Later, Yvonne asked the server to bring her a first-aid kit. She stitched up Stephen's wound herself.Thanks to the numbing cream, Stephen no longer felt pain. He let Yvonne work on his wound while he scrolled through the internet with his other hand.Just as Yvonne had said, she was all over the internet at the moment.First, it was Miller Jewels. They announced that they would donate 70% of their profits from the year-end collection to Tara Foundation.Then, there was news about a gala that the founders of Tara Foundation were holding. They invited all the women entrepreneurs Tara Foundation had invested in to come and share their success stories.The gala was broadcast live to the public, showing them that many women had their lives changed because of the Tara Foundation!Everyone was singing praises for Yvonne at that moment. Her name was trending on the internet, and it was still gaining traction.Mark couldn't do anything to Yvonne when she had such high-profile attention.

In the end, Mark still handed Gwen over to Yvonne. Before Gwen lost complete consciousness, the last thing she saw was Mark leaving without looking back.She had followed Mark for more than ten years. In the end, she had been abandoned as if she were a piece of trash. He didn't even look back.Gwen was completely disappointed. Her heart sank.She only came around three days later.Yvonne had just given Gwen a round of acupuncture when she saw the latter slowly opening her eyes. She was delighted. "Gwen, you're up!"Gwen looked terrible. She looked at Yvonne in a daze."We're at Xenia's. I've been treating you for the past few days. You're seriously injured. You need bedrest for some time. If not, your injuries will leave a scar," Yvonne gently explained in a tone of guilt.Gwen had been whipped. Every whip had torn her flesh apart. On top of that, she had been drenched in seawater. It was extremely troublesome to deal with.Yvonne had almost cried while cleaning Gwen's wounds.

Leonard and Claude had first met Mark when he was 10 years old. Mark had been fighting his way through the slums at the border ever since he was young. He had been filled with hostility. He had fought as if he had nothing to lose.Whenever the people at the mines had mentioned him, they had often said he was just an orphan brat.The other children had constantly ganged up on Mark just because there had been no one to protect him. Once, he had smashed another child's head with a rock.The parents of that child had been violent people too. They had gotten a few thugs to beat Mark up.It had been a rainy day. Mark had been sprawled on the ground, brutally beaten up. He had been covered in blood, rainwater, and mud.He had been injured all over and couldn't even move. However, the murderous intent in his eyes had never diminished. It only grew even more intense instead.Just as a hammer had been about to hit his head, Leonard and Claude had intervened and stopped it.Ever since th
