Yvonne York arrived at the Celestial Hotel, room 888. She knocked on the door, and after a while, it opened. The one who opened the door was still the bodyguard of the mysterious man. After Yvonne entered, she fell to her knees with a thud in front of the masked man. "Sir, please help our York Family." The masked man, sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed, had a cigarette in his mouth. The bodyguard beside him immediately stepped forward to light the cigarette for him. The masked man took a deep puff and then slowly exhaled the smoke, looking coldly at Yvonne kneeling on the floor. "The situation of the York Family now is all of your own doing." The masked man’s voice was low and magnetic, but carried a hint of coldness. Yvonne, with tears streaming down her face, kept kowtowing. "Sir, I know we were wrong, but please, for the sake of our past cooperation, help us. As long as you can save the York Family, I’m willing to do anything." The masked man was silent for a moment, then slightly squinted his eyes. "Willing to do anything?" Yvonne nodded vigorously, "Yes, as long as you’re willing to help us, I’m willing to do anything." "What if I say I want you to kill Caden Hawthorne?" Upon hearing this, Yvonne looked at the masked man in shock, "Kill, kill Caden?" "What? You can’t bear to part with him? Don’t forget, your family’s downfall isn’t just caused by Vivian Lynch, but even more so by Caden Hawthorne. If I’m not mistaken, he has probably already sent someone to capture your family. Your sister is already in his grasp. You can’t go back to the York Family now; if you do, you’ll be caught immediately." Yvonne’s face turned pale, falling into a painful struggle. On one hand, she had deep feelings for Caden Hawthorne, and it was difficult for her to kill him; on the other hand, the situation with the York Family was indeed dire, and she desperately wanted to save her family. "Sir, can we negotiate another condition? I really can’t bring myself to kill Caden." Yvonne said with a trembling voice. The masked man sneered. "Hmph, it seems your feelings for Caden are quite deep. But unfortunately, his heart is only with Vivian Lynch, not you. Since you’re unwilling, I can’t help you. Just wait for the York Family to go bankrupt and for you and your family to be homeless." Soon after, the masked man cruelly laughed. "No, to be precise, Caden will not consider your connection to the York Family, and may even send your sister to prison." Yvonne collapsed on the ground in despair, tears continuously flowing. She didn’t know how to choose, her heart filled with contradictions and pain. "Can’t do it?" Upon hearing this, the masked man laughed, "Then the York Family can only obediently wait for death. Do you think Caden Hawthorne will spare you?" Upon hearing this, Yvonne shook her head quickly and immediately pleaded, "No, I don’t want to die, can you help me?" The masked man looked at Yvonne’s pitiable appearance, but his eyes showed no pity. "I’ve already given you a chance, but you didn’t cherish it. It’s no use begging me now." Yvonne cried desperately, feeling that she had reached a dead end. "Isn’t there any other way? I really don’t want to lose my family, nor do I want to hurt Caden." The masked man stood up and walked over to Yvonne, looking down at her. "There is a way, but it depends on whether you have the courage." Yvonne raised her head, a glimmer of hope flashing in her eyes. "What way? Whatever it takes to save the York Family, I’m willing to do it." The masked man curled his lips into a sinister smile. "You should turn yourself in and take all the blame. That way, I might consider saving part of the York Family’s assets and sparing your family from more severe punishment." Yvonne’s eyes widened in disbelief. "Turn myself in? Won’t I be going to jail?" The masked man shrugged, "It’s your only choice for now. Either you go to jail to save the York Family, or you and your entire family fall together. Think it over carefully." "Oh, there’s also the option of your sister turning herself in to save your family. However, I am a person who demands profit; I want all the remaining shares of the York Family."

"Fine, I’ll give you ten minutes. After ten minutes, if you haven’t made a decision, don’t blame me for being ruthless." Time ticked away, Yvonne sat on the ground, hugging herself tightly, tears continuously flowed. She felt as if she were in a dark abyss, unable to find a way out. Ten minutes quickly passed, the masked man looked at Yvonne, his eyes filled with impatience. "Time’s up, have you made up your mind?" Yvonne slowly raised her head, eyes filled with despair and helplessness. "I... I choose to let my sister turn herself in." The masked man revealed a satisfied smile, "Good, you’ve made a wise choice. I’ll follow the agreement to preserve part of your family’s business. However, you’d better remember not to provoke Caden Hawthorne again, or next time you won’t be so lucky." Yvonne nodded with a heart full of despair. At this moment, she had lost all hope. Stella Fletcher arrived at the hospital, finding it surrounded by reporters waiting for Caden Hawthorne and others. Stella quickly pushed through the crowd, looking anxious. "Brother, please make way, I need to get in." "Hey, isn’t this Vivian’s friend, Stella Fletcher?" A reporter recognized Stella and immediately approached, "Are you Stella Fletcher?" "I am not, you’ve got the wrong person." Stella quickly covered her face. "Miss Fletcher, you clearly are, why won’t you admit it?" "Yeah! Miss Fletcher, please explain! Why did you betray your friend?" "I didn’t!" Stella immediately refuted. "If you didn’t betray, then is it true that Master Hawthorne and Vivian’s marriage is fake?" Faced with the reporters’ questions, Stella suddenly found herself unable to answer, her face becoming more and more awkward. "Sorry! I know nothing, please stop asking." But the reporters wouldn’t relent and continued pressing Stella. "Miss Fletcher, you surely know something, please tell us." "Your relationship with Vivian is so good, you must know her situation well." Stella was overwhelmed by the reporters, becoming increasingly anxious. She just wanted to find Vivian immediately and ensure her safety, not be entangled by reporters here. "Please step aside, I really don’t know anything. I have to go see my friend, please don’t block me." Stella tried to push the reporters away, but they remained unmoved. Just as Stella didn’t know what to do, the hospital security arrived. "Please do not gather here, you’re affecting the hospital’s normal order." The security began to disperse the reporters, allowing Stella to get free. She quickly ran into the hospital, heading straight for Vivian’s ward, only to find the hospital nurse changing the bed sheets with no sign of Vivian. Seeing the blood-stained sheets, Stella’s heart sank, and she anxiously grabbed a nurse, saying, "Nurse, where’s the woman who was in this bed? How is she?" "Are you her friend? The woman had massive bleeding and has been taken to the surgery room immediately." Upon hearing this, Stella’s face turned pale instantly. "How could this happen? Will she and the baby be okay?" The nurse shook her head. "We’re not sure either, the doctors are doing their best. Please don’t worry, just wait outside patiently." Stella released the nurse’s hand and anxiously ran toward the surgery room. Her heart was full of worry and guilt. If it weren’t for that inexplicable recording, Vivian wouldn’t have been so shocked. Old Master Hawthorne and his entourage arrived at the surgery room to find Butler Hughes and Riley Hawthorne there as well. Butler Hughes, with his head wrapped in gauze, immediately knelt on the floor in shame when he saw Old Master Hawthorne, "Old Master, it’s all my fault for not protecting the young lady." Seeing this, Old Master Hawthorne helped him up, "I already know, you did well this time; don’t blame yourself." Mrs. Hawthorne hurried to Caden Hawthorne, looking anxious. "Son, is Vivian still not out?" Caden shook his head, "The doctor is inside performing a cesarean on Vivian."
