Ten minutes later, Leonard came out of the room with a contract in his hand.He stopped outside the door, took a photo of the contract, and sent it to Yvonne. "I've already gotten the transfer agreement. I'll send it to you soon."After sending the message, Leonard turned back to look at the door. His eyes gleamed coldly.As a precaution, he was planning to let Claude out only after the deal. But it was hard to say what Claude would do then.After all, from what he knew about Claude, the latter wasn't one to let this matter go so easily."Keep an eye on him. No one is to go near him without my permission.""Yes, sir!" the subordinate replied.Leonard strode away.Outside the hotel, Curtis saw Leonard leaving. He was about to open the door and get out when Gwen stopped him once more."Hold up!" Gwen reached out and pulled Curtis by the neck. She had a serious expression. She looked at the entrance of the hotel intently until a black sedan slowly came into view.Curtis looked w

That night, Yvonne didn't receive a reply from Otto. She guessed that Kendrick must have refused to take her along.On second thought, she had Gwen and Curtis keeping an eye on Mark and Leonard at that moment. She could receive updates in real-time. So she wasn't afraid of not having the chance to join in the fun.However, she was a little worried that Kendrick hadn't said yes to her. Was he planning on something dangerous? No matter what, she had better try to get some news from Kendrick.This had always been on her mind. She hadn't been able to find the right time to ask, so it had been put on hold.During this time, Yvonne had received the share transfer agreement from Leonard. She could see how deeply Claude's signature had cut into the paper. He had clearly signed it with reluctance.She stood by the floor-to-ceiling window with the agreement in one hand. With her other hand, she held her phone and called Curtis."Have there been any movements from Mark's side recently?" Y

The days passed by quickly. The snow got heavier and longer as each day went by.Yvonne had been busy dealing with the acquisition of Well Spring Pharma. She finally took some time out to do the home visit.Her flight that day was delayed for six hours due to the snowstorm. When she landed, it was already 1:00 am.When she reached the arrival terminal, she saw someone holding up a welcome sign with her name on it. She was a little surprised."You must be Dr. Miller." A cheery old man in a suit walked over to Yvonne. "I have instructions to have you safely picked up."Yvonne immediately guessed who he was. Only the wealthy would hire such an experienced butler. She felt a little sorry for making the old man wait for her. "Didn't my assistant, Zoe Lyons, send you a message? The flight was delayed. You didn't have to wait for us.""It's fine." Aldred smiled benevolently. "The madam said that you're a lady and that it wouldn't be safe for you alone at night."Yvonne smiled back. "

The door opened, and Yvonne and Zoe walked out.Agatha yelled from behind them, "Edith, come in here!"Edith was a little baffled. She looked at Yvonne curiously. Why were they already out in less than 20 minutes?"Edith!" Agatha yelled impatiently once more.Edith immediately walked past Yvonne while saying to her, "Ms. Miller, go to your room and rest. I'll come and look for you later."Then, she turned to the household staff and instructed, "Take Ms. Miller to her room."Seeing Edith hurrying into the room, Yvonne sighed. Sure enough, they weren't going to let her go that easily.In the room, Edith walked over to Agatha and asked in concern, "Grandma, what happened? Was Yvonne careless? Did she hurt you?""No. It's her attitude and the way that she talks. I'm really unhappy about it." Agatha said sternly, "I only went along with you to get her here because you constantly sang praises about her. I even thought of inviting her to the family dinner after the physical. Now it

After Ella left, Otto looked at Edith and asked sternly, "What are you up to again when I'm not around?""How could you say that? I was just getting a doctor to check on Grandma.""There are so many doctors in the world. Why does it have to be Ms. Miller? Don't treat me like a three-year-old and think that I will simply be convinced by a lie," Otto berated.Edith looked aggrieved. She had put in so much effort into arranging all of this. But what had she gotten in return? Agatha had yelled at her, and Otto was accusing her now. As Edith thought about it, she couldn't hold her feelings back anymore.She let out everything that was on her mind. "Do you think I want to do this? I'm doing this for your future! I like that Ms. Miller is such an exceptional child. With her abilities, she will surely be able to help you a lot!"Edith continued, "Our family has a huge business. You can't even be the appointed heir because you still don't have what it takes. Trust me. As long as you're
