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
At that moment, Yvonne sighed inwardly. Luckily, she'd found out about it the night before, so she was at least a little bit prepared.She opened the door and got out of the car. She crossed her arms and asked, "What's this?"Stephen said slowly, "You should ask Elvin. What was he thinking when he put this in Britney's doll?" After he'd chased Ariel away the night before, he'd carefully checked the doll and found the bugging device hidden well inside.Linda had made this doll for Britney herself right after she'd given birth. When Britney was a little older, he'd given the doll to her and told her it was precious, so she should take good care of it.That was why Britney took the doll wherever she went. The doll would be in her bag even when she went to kindergarten.Elvin had obviously hidden the bugging device in the doll to spy on Britney. Stephen didn't know how long it had been since Elvin had planted the device, what he'd heard, or what his intentions were for doing this. H
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
The phone screen showed a foreign transaction of ten million dollars. Noah’s brows raised slightly. "Who gave this money to you?""My dad!" Katie's eyes glittered with excitement. "Before he’d left, my dad told me that he wanted to go abroad to seek a chance for a comeback in his career. It hasn't been that long, and he’s already wired me such a huge amount of money. Do you think he’s made it?"Noah didn't say anything.Katie was extremely pumped up. "I knew my dad could do it. I wonder what he’s doing overseas that he can afford to transfer so much to me at once. Is he doing even better than Jones Jewels?" The money gave Katie a sense of security, as if she had support again. Hence, she couldn't wait to share the happy news with Noah. "Noah, I'll tell you about it once I figure out more about the situation. Maybe I can be of help to you too!" As soon as she finished speaking, a sneer formed on Noah's face. "Judging from Thomas' character, why wouldn’t he tell you about it
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
The online community began heated discussions immediately. "Is Hope Health Services officially backing up Hopeful Faith now?""When something happened to Hopeful Faith back then, many people said that the platform had nothing to do with Hope Health Services. Look, now it looks like they’re closely connected!""Rumor has it that the real boss of Hope Health Services is an extremely talented miracle doctor who exclusively treats the cream of society." "All the famous medical experts have retweeted Hopeful Faith's post. Can't you see what strong support it has?" Of course, apart from praise, there were also skeptical voices. Many people still remembered how Hopeful Faith's users' data had been stolen. Regarding this matter, Turner Tech soon announced on their official Twitter account that Caleb would show up and not only give everyone an explanation but also explain in detail about the latest upgrades to the platform.They'd remained silent before, not out of a desire to shrug
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
Before Yvonne left the hospital, she told Howard to rest well and said that she would handle matters at the mining site. Howard lowered his gaze, feeling a pang of guilt wash over him. Back then, Yvonne had been the one who'd trusted him to be in charge of the mining site. Now, he couldn't even deal with an outsider. Sensing what was on Howard's mind, Yvonne sighed softly. "I think they're targeting me, so don't be too bothered by what happened. Right now, you should focus on recovering; that's the most important thing." Then, Yvonne left the room, with the two subordinates following closely behind her. "Can I meet that Thom guy if I go to the mining area now?" One of the subordinates replied, "No. He's been in town with a group of people to have fun for the past few days." The other subordinate added indignantly, "Ms. Y, you have no idea how smug they were after injuring Mr. Howard. They even celebrated it openly! Aren't they humiliating us? In fact, some of them used to b
