Lahat ng Kabanata ng He Sent Me Away for Three Years. Now My Divorce Has Him Panicking.: Kabanata 291 - Kabanata 300

Ken no longer bothered being polite with Yvonne.There was no point pretending anymore. Their interests no longer aligned, and whatever fragile alliance they’d once had was gone.After dealing with her this many times, Ken had also figured out exactly what kind of person she was.Threats didn’t scare her. Reasoning didn’t work on her. And she had almost no limits.The only way to get through to someone like that was to threaten something she actually cared about.But this time, Ken had still underestimated her.He had no idea just how far Yvonne was willing to go.After hearing him out, she didn’t panic.Instead, she gave him a cold, mocking smile.“You really think you can threaten me?”Ken frowned.“What’s that supposed to mean?”Yvonne’s smile didn’t fade.“Before you threaten someone else, maybe you should think about yourself first.”Her voice stayed light, but there was something sharp underneath it.“Do you really have nothing in this world you care about?”She r

“I’ll let it go this time, but I don’t want anything like this happening again.”The moment James eased up, Yvonne smiled.“Don’t worry. I promise it won’t.”Then, while he was still in a relatively good mood, she brought up something else.“James, there’s a gene-editing conference in Harbor City next week. I’d like to go.”She continued, “It’ll be a good chance to see what some of the top researchers in the field are working on. I also want to meet with Alan and the others while I’m there. Since we’re based in different cities, I think it would be good to sit down with them in person every so often.”Of course, that wasn’t her real reason for going.She wanted to talk to Alan and his team herself and somehow get the situation under control before James found out what was really going on.James had always been willing to invest in new technology and research, so he didn’t give it much thought.“That’s fine. You don’t need to run something like that by me. Just make whatever ar

Compared with all the chaos at Gibson Corporation, things at Mendel were much calmer.Nina had also been notified that she would be one of the speakers at the conference, but she had already been preparing for it, so she wasn’t nervous at all.Leo was a little concerned about her, but not because he doubted her ability.He was more worried that she would push herself too hard.“You sure you can handle everything on your own? I can have someone help you if you want.”“I’m fine. Really. I’m not tired at all.”If anything, Nina enjoyed this kind of work.Once she became absorbed in the research, she was genuinely happy. She actually preferred not to have anyone interrupt her.It had been the same when she lived in Harbor City.She especially liked working late at night, when everything was quiet and her mind felt the clearest.“You really don’t need any help?”Nina smiled.“Relax. Just wait and see what I come up with.”Since she was so sure, Leo didn’t push.He simply told

Leo’s deep voice beside her snapped Nina out of her thoughts.Leo’s deep voice beside her pulled Nina out of her thoughts.She quickly snapped back to reality and waved both hands.“No, no. I’m good.”Leo looked genuinely confused.“Why not? You like it, don’t you?”Nina gave him a helpless look.“Just because I like something doesn’t mean I need to own it.”“Why not?”Leo truly didn’t understand.In his world, if he liked something, he bought it. And if Nina liked something, that seemed like even more reason to give it to her.Nina finally laughed.“Mr. Taylor, stop messing with me.”Leo’s expression immediately turned serious.“You think I’m joking?”He looked straight at her.“I mean everything I say to you.”That only made Nina even more convinced he had to be joking.Otherwise, why would someone in his position give her a gift worth millions of dollars?But when she saw how serious he looked, she decided not to argue.No matter how easygoing a boss was, constan

For a moment, Nina didn’t even know how to feel.Embarrassed? Confused? Completely baffled?Probably all three.And of course, Leo chose that exact moment to ask,“Why did you stop eating? Weren’t you hungry?”Nina really wanted to ask him one thing.If he knew there was more food, why had he eaten off her plate in the first place?The question reached the tip of her tongue, but she swallowed it.Forget it.She was on his plane. If he wanted to steal a few bites off her plate, then so be it.Besides, he had only taken a few bites, and now she had an entire fresh plate in front of her.Technically, he had more than made up for it.With that thought, Nina decided to stop dwelling on it.Thankfully, the food was so good that she soon forgot all about it.While Nina and Leo enjoyed a quiet meal in the comfort of a private jet, Yvonne was having a very different experience.She was squeezed into an economy seat, staring at an airline meal she had absolutely no desire to eat.
