The next afternoon, Julian quickly entered Stephen's office and reported to him, "Sir, I've got to the bottom of it. It seems that the money Charles and Camille had invested before had been used to promote Hopeful Faith.""What?" Stephen had seen the news about Hopeful Faith while he'd been going through the finance section this morning. From what he knew, Charles had never invested in the medical field before. Why had he suddenly invested in an online medical platform?Stephen looked up at Julian and asked, "Who made this platform?"From the look in his eyes, Julian knew that Stephen had already guessed it. He nodded a little. "It's Conan. Turner Tech is also one of the partners."The vein on Stephen's forehead popped. Caleb was also involved in this?Julian was extremely efficient. Once he'd found out about the news, he'd quickly made a report regarding Hopeful Faith. He handed it with both hands to Stephen."Sir, the platform was developed with the support of Hope Health Servi
Yvonne got into Stephen's car. They said nothing to each other during the drive. When Yvonne realized that they were on the way to Anderson Mansion, she turned to Stephen and asked, "Are we heading to Anderson Mansion?""You have a good memory." His tone and expression were both void of emotion. Try as she might, Yvonne couldn't figure out what he was planning to do. She looked out of the window in a daze, as if she'd turned back in time to five years ago, when she'd first married into the Anderson family."Since I'm ugly and you're blind, we're a perfect match."Her words from their first meeting popped into her mind. Yvonne couldn't help but smile. Thinking back, she'd been quite arrogant back then. Stephen seemed to have noticed and cast a glance at Yvonne from the corner of his eyes.…At Anderson Mansion, Camille stood in front of Philip, wiping her tears. "Father, you must help Conan. He's your grandson too …"Philip said curtly, "Isn't he great? He left for five years w
Yvonne's doctor instincts kicked in immediately. She rushed up to Harry, asking, "Where is she?""Upstairs …" Harry grabbed Yvonne with his bloody hands. "Can you save her?"Yvonne pulled her hand out of his grasp. "Let me have a look." Then, she headed upstairs, leaving the others behind.Stephen no longer paid attention to Charles and Camille. Instead, he chose to follow Yvonne upstairs. In her room, Brenda was lying on the floor, groaning in pain and looking pale. Blood had soaked through the rug under the lower half of her body. Yvonne ran into the room and quickly bent down next to Brenda. She lifted the woman's skirt to examine the situation.Stephen was caught off guard by such a bloody scene. He stopped in his tracks suddenly, as if he'd hit an invisible wall. His face lost all of its color. Unable to help himself, he retched.Yvonne was focused on Brenda, so she didn't notice what was happening to Stephen. She helped relieve Brena's pain for a bit while yelling at the d
After returning to Miller Villa, Yvonne showered and threw her blood-stained clothes away. She took Stephen's jacket and headed out of the shower.She picked up her phone just in time to receive Stephen's message. "Brenda and her child are safe."It was a simple sentence, yet it was enough to make Yvonne happy.She replied, "Okay." She stared at the chat for a long time, hesitating whether to ask him how he was doing. Although Stephen had looked calm, Yvonne was worried about him. She'd met many patients with childhood traumas throughout the years. Although they might seem like any ordinary person after many treatments, things could flare up once more if they encounter something similar to the traumatic incident from their childhood.She thought about how Stephen was still checking on Brenda. Perhaps he wasn't doing so bad after all.In the end, she put her phone down.…In a mere three days, Hopeful Faith had become the number one app in the medical category, yet Conan was
Mark didn't make things difficult for Elvin. He merely sat in front of him and finished the cake slowly. Mark liked pastries a lot. The cakes in this shop were to his liking.Before leaving, he took another slice of cake to go. Then, he signaled his men to let Curtis and Lloyd go.Curtis quickly ran over to Elvin, put the boy behind him, and glared at Mark."Don't look at me that way," Mark said nonchalantly, with a hint of danger.Seeing Curtis not respond to his words, Mark smiled mockingly. "I guess you must have been away from Emerald Group for too long, seeing how you've forgotten that you were once my lapdog. I hate dogs that forget their owners."With that, Mark took a step back. His men instantly understood and went up to Curtis."Don't hurt the child," Mark said calmly before leaving the shop, ignoring the fight going on behind him.…That night, Yvonne returned home to hear Lloyd crying. Curtis scolded him with a raspy voice, "Stop crying like a girl and help me put o
Yvonne contacted Mark and agreed to meet him at the shooting range three days later.When Yvonne arrived, Mark had just finished a round of shots. It seemed that most of the shots had been fired accurately at the center of the target.He took off the protective eye gear and earmuffs and smiled devilishly at Yvonne. "How long has it been since you touched a gun?""I'm here today to talk to you about—""You can negotiate with me once you've beat me."Mark picked up a handgun and threw it at Yvonne. "A Beretta U22. How's that?"Yvonne could no longer recall the last time she'd touched a gun, but from what Mark said, she had no choice but to come to the shooting range today.Mark quietly chuckled as he watched Yvonne get into position without saying a single word. He liked Yvonne's character. If she hadn't been a Miller …Mark squashed that thought as soon as it appeared.Yvonne loaded a round with ease. She aimed the gun at the target and shot. Bullseye! Mark applauded, "Nice one
"Mark, if you insist on being like this, there's no need for us to continue this conversation. Do you really think I'm still the same person I was before?"Yvonne took a step back and raised an eyebrow, looking at him with hostility."Hopeful Faith will go on, and I'll protect Conan too."When she'd first negotiated with Mark years ago, she didn't have much confidence or any leverage. That's why she'd been left with no choice but to give in to Mark.But now she had Hope. During the past few years, she'd made connections with many wealthy people. She knew that Emerald Group found the resources she had in her hands to be extremely attractive. Mark remained silent as he stared at her. Even though his gaze was void of emotion, he was murderously angry deep down."Although you're the most important Principal of Emerald Group, in the end, the Group is still an organization that focuses on profits. What do you think would happen if the other two Principals found out that you tried to d
As Yvonne got out of the car at Miller Villa, all three men immediately approached her.Lloyd asked anxiously, "Ms. Yvonne, are you alright? Did Mark cause you any trouble?""I'm fine." Yvonne smiled gently and even turned around to show them. "See, I'm alright, right?"Curtis and Lloyd let out a sigh of relief. Caleb had no idea who Mark was, but he frowned when he saw their reaction. "Who's Mark?""Mark is …" Lloyd bit his tongue when he saw Curtis' warning gaze. The identities of Emerald Group's Principals were kept confidential. Lloyd had almost caused trouble by exposing Mark's identity.Caleb looked at them and made a guess. "One of the big shots at Emerald Group?""Stop with the random guesses." Yvonne deliberately changed the topic. "Didn't you say you knew where Conan was? That brat caused trouble and then went into hiding. He's truly irresponsible."Caleb raised the financial section of the newspaper in his hand. "This is today's paper. The front page is a report on Co
