Naturally, Yvonne didn't know that someone had set their sights on Old Jim the moment he'd gotten off the airplane. Right now, she was completely elated to reunite with her beloved mentor.She took Old Jim to the fanciest restaurant in Northena City to give him a proper welcome. The server brought the duo a bottle of wine and two glasses before the food was ready. Old Jim inhaled the fragrance coming from his glass, his eyes already closed in satisfaction. "This vintage wine hails from 50 years ago! You sure are generous, young lady!""It's your favorite, after all. How could I ever forget that?" Yvonne poured a glass of wine before passing it to her mentor. "Besides, I'm asking you for a favor. You'd chastise me for not being courteous if I'd stopped you from savoring your favorite wine."Old Jim shot her a look while grinning from ear to ear. "You make it sound like I'd rather drink than chat with you." He picked up the glass of wine and downed it in one go as he spoke. Almost imm

It was already too late by the time Elizabeth found out about Ariel's decision to get her tubes tied. When she saw Ariel, the latter was lying on the hospital bed, looking extremely pale.Elizabeth felt distressed as she gazed at the young woman sadly. "Oh, Ariel! You're such a fool! How am I supposed to tell your parents about what you've done?" To think that a beautiful young woman like Ariel had resorted to doing such a foolish thing! She could never get married in the future. How could Stephen make it up to her?"Stephen is a foolish bastard! How could you go through with this idiotic plan, Ariel? Even if you lost your first baby, you can still—""Grandma, I made this decision on my own. Please don't blame Stephen." Ariel knew that there would be no turning back when she'd decided to get the surgery done. However, she didn't regret her decision at all. She wanted to prove that she loved Stephen more than she loved herself. "I'll make sure to explain everything properly to my p

Old Jim turned around with a frown on his face. "Who on earth is that young man?" he wondered.Meanwhile, Camille's expression changed drastically. "M—Mr. Robinson, why are you here?"Xavier had a faint smile on his lips. "Let me guess who the patient in the operating room is. Is it Conan, by any chance?"A shocked expression took over the older woman's face, but she immediately denied it. "N—no! My relative's the one undergoing the surgery! She's a—""I'm standing right here, and yet you still feel the need to lie in my face, Mrs. Anderson. You're no fun to talk to." Even though a hint of a smile was present in Xavier's alluring eyes, anyone who looked deep into them would definitely feel chills go up their spines."Old Jim is one of the leading experts in the field of neurology, after all. Over many years, countless people have failed to track him down. It seems that only the Andersons could get through to him and ask him for a favor." Xavier narrowed his eyes slightly. "Who els

"I've invested more than half of my overall income that I earned over the years into a medical institution that's based in a foreign country. I plan to make you the director there. In the future, the institution will accept requests from Emerald Group while remaining an individual organization. We'll be the ones deciding how to divide the profits."Old Jim thought that Yvonne was just being idealistic at this point. Not only did she plan to leave Emerald Group, but she also wanted to earn profits by working with the organization.As a large-scale organization that valued capitalism more than anything else, there was no way Emerald Group would agree to Yvonne's demands.The elderly man shook his head immediately. "You're too naive, Yvonne. You're being way too optimistic when it comes to these problems—"Yvonne just flashed him a confident smile. "Grandpa, all you need to do is run the medical institution for me. I'll deal with Emerald Group myself. Naturally, I have my own plans."

Yvonne helped Old Jim into Galactica, the fancy restaurant where they were meeting Xavier. A server led them all the way to Xavier's private room, where he was already waiting.Xavier noticed Yvonne's dissatisfied expression and smiled. "I only invited you out to a meal. Why are you looking at me like that?""Just a meal, you say? You could be up to something for all we know, Mr. Robinson." Yvonne took a seat across from Xavier. They were seated at a big round table, which placed a lot of distance between the young adults. "You just want to know about my relationship with Old Jim, right?"Even though Yvonne sounded impassive, she looked icy and intimidating at that moment. "He saved my life. After that, he took me in as his granddaughter and loves me as his own.""I see. No wonder you could convince him to help the Andersons out." Xavier poured his guests two glasses of wine before sliding them across the table to the other two people. A smile remained perched on his lips. "Does St
