"I have an older brother and a younger one. When my father decided to pass the business on to me, it caused quite a huge controversy. But I've managed to handle it for the past two years."Annie chuckled as if trying to seem relaxed.Her assistant, Lina, could no longer hold back. "Ms. Long, you didn't have it easy! I know it better than anyone else. Please don't blame me for saying this, but your brothers are too much!"Lina had been working for Annie ever since she had joined Excel Pharma. She had personally seen how Annie's brothers had constantly made things difficult for her.They always spoke about how Annie was inferior to them because she was a woman. They thought that their father had made a huge mistake in choosing her as the heir to the business. They even planned to take Excel Pharma back for themselves after their father's death!Who on earth would eagerly hope that their father would drop dead and covet their sister's business?Hence, Lina was furious when she hea

Yvonne's heart was beating wildly, but she had to put on a facade. After all, Stephen clearly looked like he was deliberately teasing her! He must be annoyed that she had kissed him and run away!She reached out and played with his tie. She raised an eyebrow. "Since when did you become so traditional, Mr. Anderson? Must we label ourselves to do adult things?""What?" Stephen smiled gently. "Are you taking this for a test ride before deciding to buy it?"Yvonne was baffled. Would it kill him to flirt a little?She flung his tie away and looked at him. "If you want to put it that way, you're really a ride that has been rejected multiple times."Stephen was stunned. What arrogant words! Yvonne yawned. "I'm really tired. I've already said what I needed to say. There's no need to continue this, right?"Stephen hesitated for a while before taking a step back. "Who was the woman who looked for you?""Someone from Excel Pharma. She wants to work with Hope." Yvonne lazily hugged he

"Yvonne Miller, you bitch! I won't stop until I kill you today!" Hazel yelled while rushing over to Yvonne. "How dare you hurt Noah? I will never forgive you!"Yvonne reacted quickly. She sprang up and grabbed Hazel's hand. She twisted it behind Hazel and pinned her to the desk.Hazel couldn't move, but she continued to shout. "Yvonne, I have long known what a slut you are! What else can you do other than seduce men? Let me tell you, a woman like you—"Yvonne stuffed a ball of paper in Hazel's mouth, muffling her yells.The office door was still open, and everyone in the corridors could hear what Hazel said. Everyone from the secretary's office popped their heads out to have a look.Hayden was flustered. "Ms. Miller, I'm sorry. I tried to stop her, but she …"Seeing how disheveled Hayden looked, Yvonne could tell that it was Hazel's doing. Hayden was just an assistant. How could she have stopped Hazel?Yvonne waved Hayden away. "It's fine. Please close the door. This woman a

After the Hazel fiasco, Yvonne no longer had the mood to work. She attended to some simple matters before leaving work early.When she returned to Miller Villa, she headed to Elvin's room to check in on him. When she saw him studying hard under the teacher's guidance, she gently closed the door.Yvonne hadn't let Elvin go to kindergarten since his photos had been posted online. His teacher had called a few times, saying that his teachers and friends missed him. They hoped that he would return. However, Yvonne refused because she was still worried.Elvin had a special identity. It would be too late to regret not being careful if someone really did something and left a scar on him.After giving it much thought, Yvonne felt more relieved to have Elvin under her watch.Yvonne headed downstairs. An hour later, the teacher came downstairs. Yvonne smiled and approached him. "How is Elvin doing?""Elvin is a very smart kid. He's much more mature than children his age. You don't have to

"Ms. Long, someone from Anderson Group is waiting for you in your office. They say they are here to talk about an investment.""Anderson Group?" Annie found it hard to believe. She looked at her phone once more and made sure that it was a call from Lina and not some scammer."When have we ever brought up any investment project with Anderson Group?" Annie asked."From what I heard, Mr. Anderson had told them to come to talk to you. They said that Mr. Anderson is interested in the medical industry. He wanted to learn more about an old pharmaceutical brand like ours."Lina was in a daze as well. After all, this was Anderson Group they were talking about. the business titan group of Northerna City! A group like that asking to invest in Excel Pharma was a big deal!Annie thought the same too. Without asking any more questions, she rushed to her office.…When the Long brothers slowly arrived at Excel Pharma, Annie happened to be sending off people from Anderson Group in the lobby."
