Regan was taking a two-day off. He went to Edward as soon as he heard the news, "Grandpa…"
"Have a seat."
Edward was kind of tired. He looked at Regan meaningfully.
"Grandpa, Bella has done so much for this family. Now she’s in danger and we couldn’t keep our hands
off it!" Regan got what Edward meant and hurried to speak out, and loud enough to be heard from
outside.
Hearing what Regan said, Jennifer raised her lips. She looked at the untaken call on the phone and
knocked on Edward’s door.
"Come in."
"Grandpa, the board has been calling in. Should we take it?"
She seemed pretty anxious, with her eyes red. Both Edward and Regan had the same thought right
now: it was a pity that she didn’t go for a wicked role in TV.
"Boss, you finally picked up. I don’t mean anything else. I heard Belle was kidnapped abroad. If it is
real, what should we do with the collaboration with DK Group?"
Edward silenced for seconds, and said solemnly, "I thought you called in to show your care of Belle. I
didn’t expect that you want to take over her position as soon as she was kidnapped!"
"I’m telling you: she would be fine!" He said with absolute certainty.
Jennifer was even more pleased when she heard what Edward said. Everything was right in her plan.
"Boss, it’s not what we mean. It’s only that this transnational collaboration is highly important for
company’s future development. We should work with the police to find Belle for sure. We could only
cooperate and hope that she would be found soon. But we couldn’t let the company affairs behind.
Now DK Group is doubting our sincerity since our people didn’t show up."
"What about holding an emergency board meeting and elect a representative first. We should make the
collaboration work!" The board didn’t give up.
"Shut up!" Edward hung up immediately, shouting, "How heartless they are! Once they heard Belle was
missing, they want to wrest control already!"
"Grandpa, don’t get angry. We are sure to find Belle." Jennifer kept comforting him.
It was just that Edward was already cold at heart. He had been running Yan Group for decades. The
board hadn’t done less for personal gains. But out of relations of years of working together, he had
never pursued it.
But now as soon as they heard that something had happened to Belle, some of them were provoked by
Jennifer and tried to force him like this, while the other showed their evil intentions, waiting to wear the
crown of Yan Group!
"Jennifer, go find Mr. Lee and settle them down. I’ll talk to Anna and see what to do."
Jennifer smiled, "Sure, grandpa. I’ll make things done."
That was what she was waiting for!
"Go." Edward waved his hands. If Jennifer kept standing in front of him, they would probably have a
falling-out.
Watching her leave, Regan closed the door.
"Grandpa, why did you ask her to find Mr. Lee?"
"If we are going to fish, we want the baits full-prepared." Edward shook his head, drinking the hot tea
from the table, "People are all like this. They get higher, then they fall worse. We’ll just let her proud for
now."
"But, Bella…" Actually, Regan had seen Bella like his mother. It was just that he hadn’t said the word
"mom" for long, so it was hard to say it.
But deep down in his heart, he had already recognized Bella.
"Anna must have prepared." Edward was proud to find out that he had a particularly clever
granddaughter.
He knew himself, that Anna was smart, and so was her husband.
Hearing what Edward said, Regan nodded in approval, "That’ll do."

Lantin Villa
The latest finance news was broadcasting on TV, telling the CEO of Yan Group, that was, Belle, was
kidnapped on her business trip.
Anna watched TV silently, without any emotional fluctuation. As Lucy went back and saw such scene,
she immediately turned off the TV, "Stop watching! You’re pregnant."
"No worries. My mother is safe," Anna smiled, "she’s on her way flying back."
"What’s going on? Fake news?" Lucy blinked her eyes, having no idea about the whole story.
Anna was quite free at home, so she told the whole plan to Lucy.
"That’s the story!" Lucy clapped her legs, "But, couldn’t Jennifer make use of it and bribe the board,
and then take over Yan Group?"
"Those who would be bribed by Jennifer must have a second thought about the company. All we need
to do is sit still and wait for the right moment to take them down at once, which saves both time and
energy." Anna continued.
Jennifer thought she planned it all and cared about no one. Then let her keep living in the dream she
weaves. Soon she would know how the word "regret" spells!
Lucy gave it a thought and found Anna’s plan too clever.
"When she finds out the truth later, she would probably go mad."
"It’s her own choice. So she couldn’t blame it on anyone else." Anna stroked her plumping stomach
carefully, "I gave her a lot of chances, but she got no repentance, trying to hurt my baby, now my mom.
With all of this, I’m going to count it on her."
Seeing Anna as before, Lucy had her swaying heart settled.
This was the girl she knew. She never showed her weakness!
"When I just saw the news, I’m worried that you would be anxious and crying, especially you are
pregnant now, so I came here to check on you. Now it seems… Jennifer is the one who should be
crying. She’s stupid enough to fight with you, maybe because her brain is a whole mess."
"She’s born arrogant." Anna lying on the sofa. She was a mother-to-be now, and couldn’t understand
how cruel Jennifer could be to use her own baby. Yet Edward didn’t know the fact that Anna was
pregnant too.
The fact was that the only thing that Edward cared about was the family blood running in Jennifer’s
stomach.
It was like the most exciting part of a movie is always the part where the truth is revealed. Just let
Jennifer proud for two more days. When she thought her dream was finally coming true, it was the time
to reveal the truth.
The family, Yan Group, had nothing to do with her anymore!
In order to cope with the collaboration crisis with DK Group caused by Belle’s kidnap, the board of Yan
Group held an emergency meeting to discuss about the possible solutions.
Jennifer’s appearance at the meeting as the representative of Yan Family surprised the board.
The directors had heard about what had happened to the Yan family more or less. Ever since Belle
took over the company, Jennifer had never shown up. Though she was back at Yan Group recently, her
position was far worse than before. That was why the board never thought it was her to take the
responsibility at such time.
