Kevin thought about Yvonne’s miraculous survival from the plane crash and wondered why she was the only one.
“Won’t this provoke the Young family into slandering Jardin Corporation?” Kevin asked Zach.
Zach, flicking his cigarette away, replied with a dismissive air, “Since when have I feared the Young family? We’re
heading to the office.”
Kevin, understanding Zach’s cue, responded, “Yes, Mr. Jardin.”

Blake, despite her pending resignation, diligently assisted Cecilia.
“Why haven’t I received Mr. Jardin’s schedule yet?” Cecilia inquired sharply.
Blake explained, “Only Mr. Harrison has access to Mr. Jardin’s schedule. I messaged him yesterday, but no reply. I’ve
tried calling, but no luck. Mr. Jardin hasn’t been in the office much lately, often working from home.”
Cecilia mulled over that and then instructed, “Carry on with your tasks. And later, come with me to Zach’s villa. I
need his signature.”
Blake acknowledged and left, deciding to inform Madelyn about Cecilia’s planned visit.

allowed.”
Cecilia took off her sunglasses and said, “Don’t you know who I am? Do I need permission to enter?”
The bodyguard remained firm, “Sorry, no matter who you are, I can’t let you in without permission from
Mr. or Mrs. Jardin,”
Cecilia, unaccustomed to being denied entry, became enraged. She shouted, “Open your damn eyes! I’m
the Vice President of Jardin Corporation. I come and go as I please. How dare you try to stop me? Move

Cecilia attempted to force her way in, only to be pushed back.
