StarNovelChapter 2110 Christopher had been hospitalized for half a month. While Taylor managed the affairs of Iverson Group, the business at Pivotage was beyond his capacity to handle.
No matter how much they distrusted Yvonne, they had no choice but to temporarily entrust the business back to her.
Even under these circumstances, Christopher never ceased monitoring her. Besides going to the bathroom and sleeping, every move she made was under surveillance.

Unable to leave, she had no way to retrieve the crucial evidence Oscar had hidden. If she did not get her hands on it, Oscar's sacrifice would be in vain.
With Christopher currently sidelined, this could be her only chance. Even if it meant risking everything, she had to get that information.
That night, Yvonne dressed inconspicuously, intending to slip out of Pivotage. However, luck was not on her side, as she almost immediately ran into Taylor, who had returned to fetch something for Christopher. In the dimly lit corridor, their eyes met, and the oppressive atmosphere made ‘Yvonne feel suffocated. "Yvonne, where were you going?" Taylor stared at her darkly, like a snake ready to strike at any moment. "I want to go out," Yvonne replied, cold sweat seeping into her clothes, yet her face remained calm. Her honesty caught Taylor off guard, and his words got stuck in his throat.
"Taylor, | know that you and Mr. Iverson don't trust me," ‘Yvonne said. She bit her lip lightly, playing the role of innocence to perfection. "I don't have any other motives for going out tonight. It's just that Mr. Iverson's birthday is coming up. | wanted to get him a gift to show my
appreciation.” Taylor gawked at her. He had been so overwhelmed with work lately that if Yvonne hadn't reminded him, he might have completely forgotten about Christopher's birthday.
"Being confined here the past few days has given me a lot of time to think. If it were not for Mr. Iverson reaching out to me all those years ago, pulling me out of hell, | probably wouldn't be in this world today. And you... Taylor, you've watched me grow from a little girl into a woman. You've helped me so much, always treating me like a little sister."
‘Yvonne walked slowly toward Taylor. Her nose was blotchy and red, her eyes brimming with tears. "If | ever betrayed you both... | would be a fool, not even worthy of being called human. Besides, if Mr. Iverson is well, | have a chance to survive. Otherwise, I'm just a useless woman who knows nothing but how to entertain men-I wouldn't stand a chance.” She tugged at his heartstrings, her tears flowing freely. She was aiming for pity and tenderness.

"Yvonne, I'm so glad you've come to this realization... You don't know how happy it makes me to hear you say this." ‘Yvonne hid the coldness in her eyes, suppressing the revulsion churning within her and whispered softly," That's why | want to take this opportunity to show Mr. Iverson how sincere | am and to make amends. | hope he can forgive
me." "I'll plead with Mr. Iverson on your behalf," Taylor murmured, deeply inhaling the scent of her hair. "As long as you behave and stay by Mr. Iverson's side, I'll make sure you stay safe." Although Yvonne had gained some trust from Taylor, he was not foolish enough to give her complete freedom.
Moreover, he could not disobey Christopher's orders. So that night, he accompanied Yvonne as she went out to buy a gift.
"Tonight, I'd like to drive the red sports car that Mr. Iverson gave me," Yvonne pleaded. "I haven't driven in a long time, and my skills are getting rusty. If it's okay with you, I'd like to take it for a spin."
