Half an hour later, Yvonne met Jim at the entrance of the hall. She immediately went up to him. "Grandpa, where have you been? I asked Ms. Long, and she said you had arrived a long time ago."Jim was still a little disoriented. He looked at Yvonne in a daze for a while before coming to his senses. "I—I was in the bathroom. I'm old. There are things that just take time."Yvonne furrowed her brow and sized Jim up. "You don't look too well. Are you hiding something from me?""What?" Jim suddenly remembered what Chuck had told him. "You can't let Yvonne know about this. If not, Mark would easily get suspicious."Seeing Jim in a daze, Yvonne went in closer. "Grandpa, what happened?"Jim pushed Yvonne away. He avoided her gaze and said curtly, "You silly girl! Must you make me spell out that I'm constipated? Since when have you seen a constipated person looking well?"Yvonne smiled. "You have a point.""Alright. Aren't we here for a party? Why are you stopping me from entering?"

After the party, Stephen offered to drive Yvonne and Jim back to Miller Villa.In the car, Jim's gaze toward Stephen changed. He smiled at him and praised him. "Good kid! I'm really happy with what you did today!"Thanks to Stephen, he had seen Chuck at a complete loss and unable to retort. The anger he had accumulated for a while had dissipated too."As long as you're happy." Stephen looked at Jim through the rearview mirror and said, "It seems like you don't like Chuck either."Yvonne was about to respond when Jim held her hand. "Yes, he isn't a good person." Jim narrowed his eyes. He instructed seriously, "When you see him in the future, don't let him off the hook so easily."Stephen didn't ask any further questions. He nodded. "Okay."Jim was even more delighted with Stephen now. He went in closer to Yvonne's ear and said softly, "I'll agree to you two being in a relationship. This kid is great."Yvonne was stumped. How was Jim so easily bought?…Katie returned home

In the CEO's office at Anderson Group, eight employees had been tied up. One of them was lying flat on the floor. His head was placed on top of an indoor golf mat.That employee was trembling. A bodyguard stepped on his back hard and warned, "Don't move!"Stephen had just finished looking at some documents. He looked up at the employee on the floor and asked casually, "So you're one of Noah's men?""N—no. We are all employees of Anderson Group. W—we are your men," he replied nervously.Stephen sneered. "What you say is quite right." He placed the documents down and headed toward the employees. "Do all of you think so too?""Yes! Yes!" They nodded fervently, not daring to look Stephen in the eye. At that moment, Stephen was more terrifying than the devil himself.Stephen picked up a golf club and said slowly, "If all of you knew that you worked for Anderson Group, why would you ruin the peace at the office? "Since you were not instructed by anyone to do so, that means you were

"I've given it a lot of thought recently. My grudge against Chuck Jensen is all in the past. It shouldn't affect you or Hope Health Services. "Besides, Gwen is with Chuck, right? If the collaboration doesn't come through, who knows what Mark will do to her?"Jim sighed. "Back then, Gwen was the one who took you away. She took care of you at Emerald Group for so many years. How could you not pay her back? "I might be old, but I'm not unreasonable. I don't want to make things difficult for you, so do what you want to do."Yvonne furrowed her brows when she heard this. "But your grudge against Chuck—you can't just let it go. How could I disregard your feelings?""I'm fine," Jim said, pretending to be casual about it. "I have one foot in the grave. What's there to be petty about?""Grandpa, don't say that." Yvonne felt sorry. She held Jim's hand. "Be honest with me. What made you change your mind? Did Chuck talk to you privately?"Jim shook his head. "No. He would never dare

After leaving the coffee shop, Yvonne returned to Miller Villa, only to find Jim about to rush off."Grandpa." Yvonne stopped him. She saw the luggage in his hand. "Where are you going?""I have to return to Hope. The doctor caring for Mr. Anderson Senior called. He said that there was a reaction in his pupils. He might be coming around!"Jim suddenly remembered. "Were you meeting Chuck? Why are you back so fast?""I had nothing much to say to him. I chatted for a while and came home." Yvonne wasn't willing to elaborate further, so she changed the topic back to him. "Did the doctor say when he would come around?""We're not sure yet, but he will surely come around." Ever since receiving the call, Jim had been very excited. "If Mr. Anderson Senior comes around, it would surely be a good thing for Stephen."Yvonne furrowed her brows. "Grandpa, since when did you care so much about him?""I care about you." Jim smiled. "While I've been staying here, I've been talking a lot
