The next morning, Neil was working out in the courtyard when he heard footsteps approaching. He stopped what he was doing and turned around. "Ms. Miler, you're up early.""I had too much to drink last night. I went to bed early, so naturally, I got up early." Yvonne went closer to see a table full of workout equipment. "You have such a good habit of getting some exercise.""Well, I ruined my health from all the socializing I did back then. Now that I finally have quieter days, I'll have to watch my health. I'm just paying back the deficit."Neil raised his hand to get the household staff to take the equipment on the table away. Then, he gestured for Yvonne to take a seat. "You came just in time. I just finished my workout. Why don't you accompany me for some tea?""Sure," Yvonne happily agreed.Soon, the household staff brought in all the things required for brewing tea, among them a teapot with hot water inside.After setting the table, they left Neil and Yvonne alone.Ne

"Okay, we'll return as soon as we can," Yvonne assured Jim before placing her phone down. Stephen, who was by her side, asked, "What happened?""Chuck is at Hope. No idea why." Yvonne turned to look at Stephen. "Is it possible that Leonard and Claude might have given him a new mission?"Stephen furrowed his brows a little. "He was just beaten up by Mark's men last month. Is he up to no good again?"Yvonne shrugged. "I don't know. All I know is that it's worrying. We should return quickly.""How was your talk with Neil?" Stephen asked."Let's talk in the room." Yvonne led Stephen into her room. Pouring a glass of water, she recounted her conversation with Neil. Yvonne finished her story and took a huge mouthful of water before asking, "What do you think of Leonard's suggestion?""You could do as he says. After all, he insists on doing you a favor. If you don't accept it, he'll get worried," Stephen answered.Yvonne smiled. "I think the same way too, but I shouldn't accept h

Claude laughed out satisfactorily when he saw Chuck's message. It seemed that Chuck was still quite reliable.Jane, who was sitting next to him, moved closer. "What are you laughing at?""Chuck has already gone to Hope. He even got the schedule of Jade's nightly routine checks. I'm guessing he'll soon be able to find a chance to kill her."Claude handed his phone to Jane. "Didn't you say he was an outsider and couldn't be trusted? This proves that your grandfather never judges a person wrongly, right?"Jane read the message. Her suspended heart was relieved. It looked like she had just been overthinking. She smiled and wrapped her arms around Claude's. "Thank you for your help, Grandpa.""Just don't cause me more trouble in the future." Claude retracted his arm and looked at Jane seriously. "Also, don't mess with Yvonne anymore. Your Grandpa Leonard wants to work with her. If you ruin his plans, I won't be able to protect you."Jane pouted and said unhappily, "I just don't un

At that moment, Mark clenched his rosary tightly. Under the dim car lights, his gaze turned extremely hostile, as if he were going to skin Yvonne alive.Yet Yvonne remained smiling.After a while, Mark snickered, breaking the tense silence. "Great. I admire your courage. I hope you will continue staying fearless."He leaned back and continued saying, "If not, it'll be too boring."Then, Mark gestured to his men. They understood immediately and closed the door. As the door closed, Mark's rosary broke, and the beads fell to the ground.Yvonne stood in the same spot, watching the Land Rover drive into the night. Her smile slowly faded.Right at this moment, Stephen came up to her. "What did he say to you?""Nothing much. He just gave me a warning." Yvonne retracted her gaze. "It's a pity. The problem with me is that I never listen."She continued. "Since I've already decided to fight him to the end, I will never show him fear. Even if I have to jump into the deep abyss, I will do

Chuck leaned back, looking casual. "I was just walking around the infirmary, but judging from Sir Jim and your reactions, I'm suddenly interested. "You two seem to care a lot about the patient called Jade. She isn't any ordinary patient, is she?"Before Yvonne could say anything, Chuck shrugged. "Forget about it. I shouldn't pry. She has nothing to do with me. I'm just offering you another method of treatment."He continued, "Since you don't trust me, you can take this treatment plan and discuss it with the doctors. I'll stay out of it. I only hope that you'll trust me once more when the patient comes around."Chuck drank the last of his coffee. When he placed his cup down, he said, "No matter what, we're partners. I really want to mend the trust that has been broken between us."Then, he got up, leaving the iPad there, and walked out of the café.Yvonne watched as he left before looking at the iPad once more. Chuck hadn't set a pin on it. She could access his documents with jus
