"Under normal circumstances, those that come to Hope to do a check-up tend to care a lot about their health, but that woman is just very strange. "She didn't even ask about her health. The moment she sat down, all she did was ask about you."Jim furrowed his brows. "I asked if she knew you or not. She said she doesn't, but she's just really interested in you. "She said she would wait for you to return to Hope. Only then would she come over to stay and recuperate for some time."Yvonne found it odd. "Did you look into her? Who is she?""She's just a wealthy woman. Her information is rather simple. She doesn't seem like an evil person." Jim added seriously, "But don't worry. I didn't tell her much about you. I wanted to wait for you to return and talk to you about this. It's up to you if you want to see her or not.""I see." Yvonne thought for a while. "Let's leave it for now. I don't think it's an emergency. If she really wants to see me, she will come again."Jim nodded. "

Half an hour later, Curtis reported what he had seen to Yvonne.Yvonne furrowed her brows. "To me, it seems like that group of women were overthinking."Edith was just standing up for her. How did that make it seem like Edith wanted Yvonne to be her daughter-in-law? Could she not have been purely defending Yvonne?Curtis asked in hesitation, "Do you still want me to keep an eye on Mrs. Jenner?"Yvonne pondered for a while before waving her hands. "Forget about it. You go get busy. I'll find a chance to speak to her.""Okay." Curtis nodded and left the office.…At that same moment, Edith received a call from Alfred, her butler. "Ma'am, where have you been? When will you be returning? The young sir has brought a friend home to stay."Edith was delighted. "Friend? Is it a man or a woman?""A man. He looks rather scary and strange. I don't know—""If that's the case, I'm not going home." Edith interrupted Alfred. "It's one thing that he doesn't bring any women home, but now he

Yvonne had only mentioned meeting Lexi casually. She hadn't been serious about it. She had never imagined that Edith would be extremely efficient in setting up a meeting. A week later, Edith went to look for Yvonne, saying that Lexi had just finished an exhibition and that she would stop by at Hope on her way. They could have dinner together."It's settled, then." Edith headed out of the office while saying that, not giving Yvonne a chance to say no.Coincidentally, Jim had come over to hand some documents to Yvonne. Jim and Edith nodded and greeted each other.As he watched Edith delightedly walk away, Jim entered the office and asked Yvonne, "Since when have you gotten so close to Mrs. Jenner?""We're not really close." Yvonne smiled helplessly. "I got Curtis to keep an eye on her for a while. Not only were there no problems, but Curtis even told me that she's a nice person."Jim smiled. "I heard about it too. Mrs. Jenner has been singing your praise all day long. There's a

Just as the chef was serving his signature dish, a figure appeared right outside the restaurant. Yvonne was captivated by the intricacy of the dish. The wait was worth it.Suddenly, a familiar voice rang out. "What do you mean by this?"Yvonne looked up. She was baffled. "Mr. Carrington, why are you here?""I'm here to pick my mom up." Otto looked at Edith, a little displeased. "What happened to your health? Why did you go to Hope Health Services?" Edith was surprised. "No, wait. A-Answer me this first. Do you know Ms. Miller?""Of course."Edith frowned a little. "Then, why didn't you tell me beforehand? If I knew you knew such an amazing woman, I wouldn't have needed to go through such a huge effort!"Yvonne was a little confused by the situation. She looked at Edith in disbelief. "Mrs. Jenner, you're Mr. Carrington's mother?""Yes!" Edith held Otto's hand and shoved him into the empty seat next to Yvonne. "Since you know each other, everything is much easier. Have a s

"I operated on Kendrick. I'm familiar with the scars on his body, but I just didn't pay attention to them in the past. "It wasn't until you asked me to treat his gunshot wound that I realized that no profession in this world would have one end up with gunshot wounds."Yvonne continued, "I initially thought that even if Kendrick isn't in this line of work, he still has something to do with it. "Besides, Kendrick Beck isn't his real name. I kept thinking that he didn't come up with this name randomly. It might have to do with his real name, but I couldn't find out anything."Yvonne paused for a while before saying. "Judging by your reaction now, it seems that my initial guess was wrong."Her back was facing the window. The sunlight seemed to suddenly shine on her brightly, illuminating her smile."Kendrick Beck is indeed not a random name, but it's related to an organization called Beck and Call. Beck and Call has roots in the arms business. Even now, no one knows who the head of
