Chapter 1431 Mark Is That Child

"It's a long story." Yvonne turned around and placed her hands on the railing. She fiddled with the detonator distractedly.She'd had quite a lot to drink that night. At that moment, she felt a little hot. It was rare for her to have the urge to talk about her feelings."Mark has a grudge against the Miller family. I guess it started with my grandfather. My father married into the family and took my mother's name. So when I say grandfather, I mean my maternal one."Yvonne explained simply before chuckling self-deprecatingly. "This entire thing is quite absurd. My grandfather had an affair with a college girl. He kept the affair under wraps really well. He was a great father and a grandfather."She continued, "The college girl looked a lot like my late grandmother, but that wasn't an excuse for the affair. He had committed an unforgivable mistake."Yvonne was a little agitated.Otto felt a little sorry. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have—""It's fine." Yvonne waved her hand. "I'm ju

Chapter 1432 You Still Think You're Right

Yvonne turned to look and smiled. "You're here."Stephen walked over to her. He subtly cast Otto a cold gaze. The night breeze was chilly, but his gaze was frosty.Otto sneered inwardly. He took a step back and bade Yvonne farewell. "Thank you for telling me all of that, Ms. Miller. Now that Mr. Anderson is here, I won't be in your way.""Okay." Yvonne looked at Otto leaving. Suddenly, a hand was right in front of her eyes.Yvonne couldn't help but chuckle. She looked at Stephen. "What? Can't I even look at a man's back?""What were you two talking about?" Stephen asked coldly."Mr. Carrington was here to pass me something." Yvonne waved the detonator in her hand. "Calbert took this from one of the men. Apparently, there's still a bomb here that we haven't found yet."Stephen furrowed his brows.Yvonne leaned against the railing. "Luckily, I wasn't that arrogant to get them to set off all the detonators. If not, we would have been done for."Seeing how lightly she was taking

Chapter 1433 More Tricks up Her Sleeve

The next morning, everyone arrived at the meeting room early.After the incident the night before, they were still worried. The atmosphere in the meeting room was much heavier than usual.As they waited in silence, the door slowly opened.Yvonne entered in her high heels. She naturally took a seat at the head of the table. She said with a light smile, "You're all here early.""Ms. Y, such a dangerous thing happened last night. Everyone is still traumatized by it. I don't think any of us want to be on board much longer."A middle-aged man suggested, "I think we should finish the meeting quickly and get off this ship as soon as possible."The others chimed in, agreeing, "Yes, I think so too.""I didn't sleep well the entire night. I kept having nightmares! I don't want to stay on board this ship any longer.""Me too! Who knows what other crazy things Mark might be up to?"Yvonne raised her hand to silence the crowd. "Since everyone is worried, I won't force you to stay. We'll do

Chapter 1434 Yvonne's Territory

"Not long ago, Carrington Ventures reached out to Claude's businesses at Ms. Miller's request. Many people in charge of those companies have expressed a strong desire to collaborate."Otto cut right to the chase. "This is the contract all of them have signed. You can all have a look at it. If you have any objections, please feel free to raise them."Then, Otto gave his assistants a look.Soon, a copy of the contract was handed to each of Emerald Group's executives.The executives looked at the contract. As they read it, their expressions turned uglier.The contract clearly stated that the persons in charge would hand over the management of the companies to Yvonne. Moreover, the company's future development and capital operations would be taken over by Carrington Ventures.It was obvious that Carrington Ventures had extended an olive branch to all of them and had them side with Yvonne.Only now that everything was finalized did they realize that Yvonne had just been stalling at

She got up and walked over to the bed. "Why are you secretly looking at your phone instead of sleeping? Do you care about your health at all?"Curtis was startled. He immediately pressed his phone against his chest and looked at Gwen. "Weren't you watching the live broadcast news?""It ended a long time ago." Gwen looked at his phone suspiciously. "Are you following the news on the attack?""I-I … Of course, I'm following the news." Curtis stuttered. "I-It's just … I was engrossed in the comments, so I didn't realize you had finished watching the news.""I see." Gwen crossed her arms and looked at Curtis intently. "Tell me. What are people saying?""The comments …" Curtis scratched his head. "They all said that the attack was really terrifying …"Seeing Curtis scratch his head, Gwen

What followed was a fear of the unknown.She turned to look at Calbert. "I might need your help with Hope's security and also with Cory. You have to try to distract him. Don't let him help Mark again."Calbert nodded. "I was planning to do just that.""Thank you." Yvonne's gaze sharpened. "I'll arrange for Emerald Group to quickly locate Mark.
