Chapter 18
The olddy looked at Samuel unhappily and asked," What do you mean when you say she''s not
sick?"
"Yvonne is in charge of the project. She seeded in getting Weakriver Real Estate to coborate with
us. Irrespective of what Harvey said, the decision to rece her as the person-in-charge is yours alone.
Harvey is to me for this, but it’s also your fault, don''t you agree?" Samuel said calmly.
"Samuel, who do you think you are, questioning Grandma like that?" Harvey asked as though he was
going berserk.
Lionel''s scalp turned numb from his exceeding anger. Samuel was nothing more than a live-in son-in-
"Samuel, you''re not in any ce to speak. You''d better get lost from my sight, or else you can''t me
me for not sparing you any courtesy," Lionel said.
"Grandma, Yvonne is the only one who can handle this coboration, don''t you think?" No matter how
worked up the others were, Samuel kept calm.
The olddy took a deep breath and said, "What''s the benefit in doing all of this? If you anger me,
aren''t you afraid that I wouldn''t want to continue with the coboration and chase you out of the Sue
family?"
"That may be possible, but the losses facing the Sue family are just too great. You wouldn''t do this,"
Samuel said.
"Are you sure you’ve gotten to me?" the olddy asked.
"Grandma, I just want you to value Yvonne, that''s all. I’ll apologize if there''s anything that angered you,"
Samuel said.
The olddyughed. The carrot-and-stick principle seemed quite effective.
"Is this your idea? I haven’t seen you for a few days and you''ve already changed you much." The smile
on the olddy''s face was gradually reced by gloom. Yvonne would never dare to y such tricks on
her. Nor would Godfrey and Lydia do that, since they did not even dare to breathe too loudly in front of
her.
Apart from Samuel, she could not think of anyone else who coulde up with such an idea.
"My original intentions were simply for the sake of the Sue family," Samuel said.
Sue family?

It was difficult to say whether he was referring to the olddy''s family or Yvonne''s family.
"Where’s Yvonne?" the olddy asked.
Samuel''s phone rang at that exact moment and he put it on loudspeaker when answering the call.
"Samuel, I just talked to Liam. He’s willing to continue the coboration with the Sue family," Yvonne''s
voice came from the phone.
Both Godfrey and Lydia were dumbfounded. They had no idea when Yvonne left home.
"Grandma’s here at our home. She must be very happy to hear that news," Samuel said.
The olddy reluctantly forced a smile and said," Thank you for your efforts, Yvonne. Pleasee to
Grandma''s house for dinner the day after next."
"Thank you, Grandma."
The olddy stood up, looked directly at Samuel, and said, "Samuel, if you even have the slightest
thought of coveting our Sue family’s assets, I advise you to get rid of those ideas. I will never let you
seed."
"Don''t worry, Grandma. I''m not interested in the Sue family''s properties." Samuel did not think much of
the Sue family''s status. How much could their assets be worth when they were nothing more than a
second-rate family?
After the olddy left, Lydia-who had been kept in the dark over everything-questioned Samuel,"
Samuel, did you and Yvonne n this? Do you have any idea how dangerous this is?"
"Mom, aren''t you going to vent a bit? Don''t you want to let out all that anger from the humiliation you''ve
suffered in the Sue family all these years?" Samuel asked back.
Lydia was taken aback by that. What happened that day was indeed venting on her behalf. The old
"Moreover, the Sue family''s rtives won’t ever dare t o underestimate any of you in the future. At the
very least, the project in Yvonne''s hands can ensure that she is on the same level as Harvey," Samuel
continued.
Lydia was speechless. She could not find any fault with it even if she wanted to.
The incident made waves amongst the Sue family rtives. Yvonne’s status as the person-in-charge of
the project would no doubt cause her status in thepany to rise. Several of the Sue family''s young
women who had always looked down on Yvonne were angry and dissatisfied for a moment. They had
no intention of letting Yvonne ride on their head.
"Don''t be afraid! We still have a chance to marry into a rich family. With that big a betrothal gift, they''re
surely a big family even if they weren''t the Hannigan family."
"Yes, us sisters have alreadye to a unanimous agreement. No matter which one of us marries into
the Hannigan family, we must protect each other and refrain from getting too close to Yvonne."
"She’s still a woman, after all. The Sue family can''t possibly fall into her hands alone. Don''t worry too
much. Harvey will have a way to deal with her in the
future."
The group of sisters, minus Yvonne, started a movement against Yvonne for no apparent reason.
When Yvonne returned home, Lydia secretly called Yvonne into her room.
"Yvonne, tell me honestly. Is there anything you’re hiding from me?" Lydia asked. 1
"No. Why are you asking this all of a sudden?” Yvonne was panicking, but she remained calm and
"Why do I feel like Samuel''s apletely different person? You didn''t even see the calmness that he
had when he was talking to your grandma today. Is there even anyone from the entire Sue family who
dares to talk to the olddy with that attitude?" Lydia asked. 2
Yvonne smiled. Although she did not see Samuel''s show of strength, she was actually very scared
when she heard the n from Samuel. Nevertheless, she chose to believe in Samuel and the facts
have proven that her decision to do that was correct. 1
"Mom, no matter what, the most important thing is that it benefits us."
