In the end, with Yvonne watching their interaction, Curtis managed to invite Gwen out to dinner. They decided to set a time once he was discharged.Seeing Curtis smiling widely, Yvonne slowly suppressed the urge to teach him how to pursue the woman of his dreams.Perhaps his awkward way was what Gwen liked. After all, they both had a clean slate when it came to relationships. If Curtis were to use any tactics, it would seem insincere.Yvonne looked at them and smiled. She wanted to create more time for them to spend together. After staying in Curtis' ward for a while, she found an excuse to leave.Gwen followed her out of the door and said, "I heard that Emerald Group's cruise meeting is next week."Yvonne stopped in her tracks. She seemed a little helpless. "Didn't I mention that all you need to do is care for Curtis? Let me handle the rest—""My wounds have almost recovered." Gwen moved her arm and said seriously, "I can protect you. Let me go with you."Yvonne glanced at Gwen

Yvonne didn't reply to him. She merely walked away.Calbert immediately went after her and left the infirmary together.By the entrance, Yvonne stopped in her tracks. "Do you also think that Mark will be at the cruise meeting?""Hmm, knowing him, he will probably stop you from having the meeting. Also, the cruise is a confined space. It's the best time to attack."Yvonne chuckled gently as well. "Then, it's a good time for me to attack him too."Calbert furrowed his brows and looked at Yvonne. "You want to fish him out?""No." Yvonne looked up at the sky and said slowly, "Mark isn't that stupid. He knows that the cruise will be my territory, yet he would still dare to board it. Is he trying to die with me?"Yvonne's gaze darkened. She furrowed her brows. "Unless he really is nuts."Calbert was silent for a while before saying, "No matter what, I'll try my best to protect you. Beck and Call will handle the security there.""That's my plan as well." Yvonne looked at Calbert and

Cory was a little surprised. He furrowed his brows. "Is that it?""Yes. What you want to do is your choice," Stephen said calmly."Besides, I didn't help you the other night because I wanted you to repay the favor. It was a one-time thing, and we had only just met. I'm meeting you today because I wanted to know who has been helping me."Stephen paused for a while. There was a smile in his tone. "I'm quite surprised that you were honest with me."Cory was silent. He clearly hadn't expected Stephen to respond like this. He thought Stephen would get angry or try to stop him from helping Mark. On the contrary, not only was Stephen not angry, but he was a little excited as well.Stephen wasn't like any other enemies that Cory had encountered before. Somehow, Cory got a little excited as well.He knew that this was an understanding between powerful men.He smirked, and his eyes gleamed manically. "Great. It's much more interesting to be enemies with you than to be friends.""I ho

The moment the car stopped at the mansion and Cory got out of the car, a figure appeared out of nowhere.Out of reflex, Cory grabbed the person's wrist and pinned them to the car. His eyes gleamed murderously."It's me … Mr. Sloan." Jane looked frail. Even her tone was feeble. The pain in her wrist caused her to pale a little more.Cory furrowed his brows and asked coldly, "What do you want?""I-I've been trying to thank you in person, but Benji said you wouldn't see me."Jane furrowed her brows. She tried to turn around to look at Cory. "I heard that it's your birthday today."Under the moonlight, Jane's skin glowed like porcelain. Tears welled up in her eyes. She was gorgeous. Extremely gorgeous.Cory's gaze darkened, and he let her go. He asked in annoyance, "Where did you hear that from?"Jane clutched her wrist and turned around. She leaned against the car to support herself. "I overheard the housekeepers talking."Seeing Cory's face, Jane was a little unsure of herself.

It was still in the middle of the night when Stephen and Neil rushed over to the mines. They could see a raging fire from afar.As the car approached, the hot air washed over them.Stephen got out of the car and saw Cory standing nearby. His frosty air cut through the hot air. It was rather attention-grabbing.Stephen walked over to him. "What's the situation like?"Cory didn't look back. He was still looking at the entrance of the mine that was caught in flames.The firefighters looked like ants in comparison to the huge flame. It seemed as if they could be swallowed by the flames at any moment.Cory's gaze was darkened. When Stephen was finally next to him, he said coldly, "It smells of explosives."Stephen looked where Cory was looking. His expression turned grim too. "Are you sure it was done by someone?""Hmm. No one is more familiar with the smell of explosives than I am." Cory's gaze sharpened. "That person sure is gutsy. How dare they touch the mines I'm watching over
