Chapter 190 A Desperate Cry for Help.

Benson’s decision to sell his film company caused quite a stir in the industry.

The news spread like wildfire, with major media outlets vying to report on it. Speculations and conjectures about the transaction emerged rapidly, like mushrooms after a rainstorm.

The phone rang incessantly, with inquiries and probing voices coming from all directions.

Some were curious about the reason behind it, while others tried to sniff out a hint of industry change in Benson’s actions.

His peers‘ eyes were full of exploration and curiosity.

They wanted to know whether Benson had some insider information that was unknown to them, and if it was an indication that the film industry. was about to experience a major transformation.

However, in this turmoil, there was one person who remained silent- Yvonne, Benson’s wife.

She did not call or show concern for her husband’s major decision.

She seemed indifferent about the sale of the company, as if it had nothing

to do with her.

Benson felt complicated because of this. He was disappointed because Yvonne’s indifference made him feel unimportant and ignored.

At the same time, he also began to doubt his decision to sell the company, unsure if it was the right move.

He even felt that if he had another woman outside, Yvonne probably wouldn’t care either. Her indifference made him feel an indescribable loneliness and helplessness.

Amidst these complex emotions, Benson felt an unprecedented confusion.

He didn’t know what his future would be, nor did he know what Yvonne was thinking.

Two days later, at a meeting at the headquarters of the Davis Group, Benson appeared in the conference room.

Yvonne saw him and froze for a few seconds before resuming her composure as if she didn’t recognize him.

His appearance caused a stir in her heart, but she tried to keep herself calm.

After the meeting started, Charles announced that Benson would officially join the company from today.

However, the department he would work in was Caesar Group.

Yvonne was shocked and speechless when she heard this news.

Caesar Group had once been a part of her personal feelings, and she had deep emotions for this company.

However, now that Caesar is a subsidiary of the Taylor Group, she also knows that work and personal feelings are different, and she must accept the company’s arrangement.

Benson’s sudden appearance inevitably made her a little uneasy.

When he served as a special advisor to Caesar Group, Yvonne chose to hide in the industrial park until Paul came to find her.

Her mood was very complicated, and she felt uneasy about Benson’s arrival, but she hoped to protect herself by keeping her distance.

Benson chased her all the way to the company, while she slipped away.

Yvonne knew she might be going too far, but she really didn’t want to face Benson’s gaze and words.

She was worried that she would be swayed by him, making him feel like his liver was about to explode.

Yvonne hid in the industrial park for three days

Desperate cry for help

her work was naturally proficient.

On the fourth morning, Yvonne received a call from Goodsprings as she left the meeting room.

She glanced at the caller ID, saw Olivia’s name, and felt a in her heart.

e of unease

“Hello…” Yvonne answered the phone, her voice tinged with a hint of fatigue and concern.

“Yvonne…I can’t take it anymore.”

Hearing Olivia’s sobs through the phone almost broke Yvonne’s heart.

The voice was full of helplessness and despair, making Yvonne feel a wave of heartache.

“What’s wrong? Don’t cry!” Yvonne asked urgently, her voice filled with concern and anxiety.

“I just want…. just want to leave that demon.”

Olivia’s sobs were heart–wrenching, and her voice was full of desperation and pleas for help.

After encountering Steven, Olivia’s life had become unbearably tragic.

Her dream of going to university remained unfulfilled as she was confined to a small house with almost no freedom other than being with him.

Over the past seven years, she had tried to escape countless times but had never succeeded.

The hope she once had was reignited after meeting Yvonne.

Yvonne gave her a glimmer of hope, making her believe that she might still

have a chance at freedom.

However, this time Steven was ruthless, and once again refused to let her

leave the house.

“Yvonne, what should I do?” Olivia’s sobs were full of helplessness and despair.

Her voice made Yvonne feel a wave of heartache, almost overwhelming

her.

“I know, I know.” Yvonne comforted Olivia, telling her to endure a few more days.

She had already decided in her heart that she must help her friend out of this misery.

After–hanging up the phone, Yvonne fell into deep thought.

Paul watched her sitting at her desk without saying a word, with a hint of worry in his eyes. “Miss Yvonne?”

Yvonne snapped back to reality and tried to calm herself. “What’s going. on? How’s the work going?”

“No one else is stocking up like us; the risk is high.” Paul’s tone carried a hint of worry and objective analysis.

“I know, but the low- to mid–end market is too competitive… However, there is room for differentiation in the high–end market. If we seize the opportunity, I believe it should be fine.” Yvonne’s tone was firm, and her eyes showed confidence in the future.

“Okay, I believe you.” Paul nodded and left the office.

After Paul left, Yvonne still stood in front of the floor–to–ceiling window, lost

in thought.

She knew all too well what the consequences would be if she went to find

Benson now.

She was acutely aware that if she compromised, it would mean tacitly accepting his treatment of her.

That fit she threw at the Taylor’s really did become a joke.

Thinking of this, Yvonne couldn’t help but feel a wave of loss in her heart.

She laughed at herself, thinking that nothing could make her compromise.

However, Olivia’s sobs kept shaking her resolve.

Because she and Olivia were not only childhood friends but were like family to each other.

“Paul, I have to… go back to the city.” Yvonne finally decided she must go see Olivia and help her solve her current predicament.

“Okay, Miss Yvonne, I’ll keep you updated on any progress here.” Paul agreed to her request, saying he would update her on work progress promptly.

Yvonne’s sudden return to Caesar Group surprised Megan the most.

After all, since Benson joined Caesar and the media reported it, the business data of Caesar Square has been impressive.

Many brands have noticed the signs that the Taylor Group intends to support Caesar heavily.

Brands that were previously reluctant to cooperate have all come to the door, and the situation has reversed.

When Yvonne heard such news, she had to admit it.

Benson indeed has a significant influence; his arrival has made Caesar Group’s prospects brighter.

She walked into the office, with a hint of complex emotions on her face.

“Where is Mr. Benson?” she asked Megan, her voice carrying a hint of expectation and tension.

“In your office,” Megan replied, “He’s been working in your office lately.”

“Go ahead with your work.” Yvonne nodded, feeling a bit uneasy.

She walked to her office and pushed open the door. Inside the spacious office, Benson was sitting at the desk where she usually worked.

Sunlight streamed in through the large glass curtain, and Benson, dressed in a white shirt, looked as if he were in a painting, with an impressive and extraordinary demeanor.

The light cast mottled shadows on him, adding an artistic touch.

Benson looked up and saw her, momentarily stunned, “Oh, what’s the matter? Finally decided to show up?”

His voice carried a hint of mockery and surprise.

Yvonne stood at the door, meeting his gaze, her heart filled with complex emotions.

She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down.

Although she felt some regret deep inside, she ultimately didn’t turn away but stood there without speaking.

“What’s wrong, need something from me?” Benson’s voice carried a hint of impatience; he clearly didn’t like Yvonne’s silence.
