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
Thomas' eyes widened in shock as Yvonne calmly sized him up.It had been several months since they'd last met, and Thomas was no longer the same as before. His hair was disheveled, and his beard was unshaven. His skin seemed a lot darker; it was hard to tell if it was because of dirt or sun-kissed. Rather than the ex-owner of Jones Jewels, he somehow looked more like a local resident living in the border area.Withdrawing her gaze, Yvonne faked a smile. "It's just been a few months. Can't you recognize me?" Thomas came to his senses and pulled a long face. "What are you doing here?""I'm the one who wanted to meet with you, so naturally, I'd be here." Yvonne leaned to the back and crossed her slender legs. "But I never expected you to be at the border. I thought you'd holed up somewhere."As soon as she finished speaking, the subordinates behind her burst into laughter. Thomas clenched his teeth fiercely. "Don't be too arrogant, Yvonne! You're the one asking for my help today
Upon hearing that, Thomas finally sat down and opened the file reluctantly. As soon as he saw the documents inside, his expression changed drastically. He took them out at once in a fit of panic, some of them falling from his hand. They were all return orders! The goods that they'd sent out not long ago had all been returned!"You ..." Enraged, Thomas slammed the table and shot up from his seat. "Yvonne, what the heck have you done?""Well, you should ask yourself that," Yvonne replied calmly, staring into his eyes. "The merchants here are all shrewd, yet you still had the guts to treat them differently. Not only that, but you also took them for a ride by giving them the inferior gems that you'd altered." She clicked her tongue. "You sure have a nerve of steel. Aren't you afraid that your mining site will be destroyed by others one day for doing this?""You ..." Burning with anger, Thomas was at a loss for wordsSince Thomas had taken charge of the mining site, he'd been ma
In the dead of the night, Yvonne woke up to thick smoke permeating the room.Struggling to open her eyes, she faintly caught sight of the flames in the midst of the smoke. Her heart skipped a beat, and she became clear-headed at once. For the sake of convenience, she'd decided to temporarily stay at the workers' dormitory at the mining site instead of checking into a hotel room. The shabby four-story building held nearly a hundred workers. Not only were the rooms cramped, but they were also cluttered with various items. If this place caught fire, it was going to be hard to put it out.Right then, she heard smashing outside the door. "Ms. Y! Ms. Y!" "I'm here—" As soon as she parted her lips, the smoke instantly rushed into her mouth, leaving her coughing violently. The person continued to shout, "Ms. Y, your room has been locked with a metal chain! We'll find tools to break it open now! Hang in there!" Listening to the receding footsteps, Yvonne felt her heart sink. A fierc
The fire raged until the crack of dawn, leaving the entire dormitory building reduced to a blackened frame. Yvonne was worn out. She sat on the ground, watching the ambulance take the last victim away.Stephen handed her a towel and a bottle of water before taking a seat beside her. At this point, they no longer cared about the difference in their statuses."You did a good job yesterday." Yvonne took a sip of water and gave him an appreciative look. All of a sudden, she caught sight of the bloody wound on his arm and subconsciously grabbed his wrist. "When did you get hurt?""It was probably when the door frame fell after I kicked open your room door." Stephen wanted to pull his hand back, but Yvonne tightened her grip on him. She glared at him. "Why didn't you say it earlier? You even helped carry so many victims out last night."Stephen had joined the rescue efforts yesterday too. He'd rushed into the fire several times to bring the trapped people out. At first, Yvonne wasn't
