CHAPTER 220: SOMETHING SEEMS TO BE FLICKERING IN HER EYES

But Zachary wouldn’t tell Yvonne about all these thoughts.

In Yvonne’s eyes, he’s still mad because of Finn.

And he looked cold and pushed people away.

Yvonne held back the emotions in her heart and eventually went back to her bedroom alone.

*

Three days after.

The surgeries on Frank and Finn began.

With a match to a kidney source, things were much easier in the next.

Although kidney replacement surgery also has high technical requirements, and it was even more important to focus on future care after kidney replacement, with today’s medical development, it was no problem to restore Frank’s health.

After the surgery was over, the doctor came out and told Yvonne and Yesmina that the surgery was successful.

Everyone was relieved.

The next step was to take good care of him.

Not only did Yvonne have to take care of Frank during this time, Finn was in the next ward, and she had to go over there from time to time to check on him.

Good thing was, Finn’s father was a family friend of Frank’s and was respectful of his son’s decisions.

So the drama of blaming Yvonne didn’t show up. Jeremy Levin was understanding.

But understanding was not enough. They had to pay back his favor.

Even if Yvonne didn’t accept it, Yvonne would still do it.

*

Half a month passed.

Frank and Finn were regaining their health.

Finn recovered a little better than Frank, and the doctor suggested that it would better if Frank stayed a few more days. But Finn could have been already discharged.

Still, the doctor urged him not to get too busy, especially not to stay up late at work and forget to rest.

Finn nodded, then rested at home for a day and went to the company the next day.

Finn had a kidney transplant, and not many people in the company knew about it, except for a few close secretaries.

He hadn’t show up for such a long time, the company was terribly busy. Many business partners were waiting for him to reply.

It was just he couldn’t overwork, so he took a lot of time dealing them.

"Boss, this is for the clients from the appointment two weeks ago. As for the rest of those partners, we will do our best to appease them first. You can start from these files. Please take care."

"Got it."

Finn knew that he had been absent from the company for half a month in a row, and many of his trips had been delayed.

A lot of partners were waiting to meet with him.

But his long absence from the scene had already caused Levin Group to be somewhat gossiped about in the circle already.

Someone said that Finn was not coming to the office because he was not well and rested.

But others said that what could be so wrong with him at his young age as he didn’t come to the office for half a month, something must have happened.

Rumors also, people said that Jeremy Levin definitely had some illegitimate child like Jordan Yale, who came and looked for trouble.

There were even people who said that it was the Levin Family’s capital chain that had gone wrong. They got no money and Finn ran away, everyone should cancel their contracts and withdraw their capital.

On this day, Yvonne happened to go to the office to do some business, and she heard someone chatting.

"Hey, you know what, amazing gossip!"

"What is that?"

"Our city’s famous big family, the Levin Family is about to fail this time!"

"Huh? Why? Didn’t Finn Levin just take the throne not long ago? It’s said that not only is he a god of learning, he’s also very good at business! How could it not work?"

...

The man shook his head, "I heard that because the funding chain was broken, Finn Levin disappeared for half a month, and the version I heard was that he personally donated a kidney to a mysterious rich man who had kidney disease in order to get sponsorship! My sister-in -law works in that hospital, she said her colleague in the surgery department saw Finn Levin perform the kidney replacement surgery with her own eyes!"

"No way! He’s so rich that he even needs to donate a kidney to someone?"

"The information is 100% reliable! Why else would he have disappeared for half a month? Look, the pictures are here...

"Really...

A bunch of people talked as if it was true.

"Now the news is spreading like crazy, everyone thinks the Levin Family has reached the point of selling kidney for sponsorship this time, and they have all withdrawn their capital... It is said that there was nothing wrong, but too many partners have terminated their contracts and withdrawn their capital, causing Finn a lot of headaches recently...

Yvonne really didn’t expect to hear such rumors even in her own home company.

Even she heard it, so it was not so hard to imagine how bad it went outside.

Yvonne’s heart sank, and she threw the paper in her hand on the table.

All those who had just gathered to chat about gossip were now all stirred up and returned to their work stations when they saw her showing up.

"Doing the least job but concerning the most. Wise men stopped the rumors. Levin Group is our partner, what good does spreading such rumors do to the Taylor Group, what good does it do to everyone here?!"

They didn’t know how Yvonne suddenly came over today, and they certainly knew that Frank and the Levin Family were close friends, and now that Yvonne had heard about it, it was really too bad.

Everybody was ashamed, they kept their heads down and didn’t say a word.

Yvonne coldly gave a glance at them. Then she snorted and left with anger!

...

She didn’t realize that people were now so horrible.

Spreading rumors without thinking.

Man would like to kill others with words!

As the one who knew the story, of course she knew that how ridiculous Finn’s claim of "selling his kidney for sponsorship" was.

But the fact was that there was so a group of fools believed. There was nothing happening in the Levin Family, now these stupid guys withdrew their capital to cancel the contract, making the Levin Family capital chain could not work.

Henry Louis, the senior assistant following Yvonne’s side, could see what was in her mind.

"Mrs. Taylor, in your opinion, how is this matter to be handled?"

Henry Louis was Frank’s right-hand man, and now that Yvonne was gradually taking over her parents’ business, Henry Louis had become her mentor and a competent assistant.

Yvonne frowned, "Since it is rumored that Finn is selling his kidney for money, we can’t just go out and help him at this time."

"For one thing, Finn won’t accept it, and for another, by doing so, we’re also confirming the rumor. It won’t do any good to stop their partners from pulling out."

Henry Louis nodded, he agreed with that.

"If you want to prove to everyone that the Levin Family isn’t having money chain problems, the only way..."

Yvonne clenched her fist, the idea clicked.

*

Headquarter of Levin Group.

Finn had just finished his surgery, he was still young and his body was already recovering well.

Only, lately, there was suddenly a lot more trouble. It was causing his wounds to vaguely hurt again.

In the conference room, several shareholders were arguing again.

Some investors pulled out, some partners broke the contracts.

They didn’t say it out loud, but the meaning was all clear.

When all was said and done, it was the shareholders who were also dissatisfied and were thinking of asking Finn to give them an explanation.

...

It had been a few years since Finn had taken over the company, a lot of people were watching him.

He knew that in his heart, but at this time, the wound was hurting again.

A female secretary to the side saw his pale face and walked up worriedly.

"Mr. Levin, you...

Finn shook his head, showing that he was fine.

"Mr. Levin, there are so many rumors out there lately, you should give us an explanation!"

Just then, one of the older shareholders said.

"That’s right, although you said before that we didn’t have any problems with the funds, but now that several big partners have pulled their funds out, there are already problems!"

Finn looked calm and smiled, "Then, in your opinion, what kind of statement should I give you?"

"This..."

Being asked about what kind of statement he should give them, they wimped out again.

An ungrateful man suddenly said, "Since someone is creating rumors and causing trouble, it would be good for Mr. Levin to dispel them."

"Dispel?"

"Yes," the man said up to no good, "Now the partners think the money chain is broken because they heard rumors that you donated a kidney, so all you have to do is go to the hospital for a medical exam to prove that your kidneys are all intact."

"Ridiculous!"

The beautiful young secretary who had been standing beside Finn said, "What is Mr. Levin’s position? How can he do this for such ridiculous claims?"

"Miss White, this is a shareholders’ meeting, since when do you have the right to speak?"

"I...

Lisa White had been working for Finn, so she knew that most of these old men on the board had evil intentions.

But she was only a secretary, and one of the many secretaries around Finn. As a small character, she had always dared to speak out in anger as well.

It was only that she couldn’t help but stand up and dislike the man when she heard him go so far just now.

Lisa White bit her lip and lowered her head in indignation.

But just at this time, Finn gave her a glance, then squeezed his fingers and said.

"Lisa White is my core staff member who works conscientiously and has excellent abilities, she is also the general secretary of the entire Levin Group. Who says that the general manager’s secretary is not even qualified to speak at the shareholders’ meeting?"

The man shut up and said nothing more.

"Anyway, what Miss White said is right. Issuing a statement over this matter will only make everyone see us as a joke."

After Finn finished speaking, no one dared to refute either.

Only Lisa White desperately kept her head down, something seemed to flicker in her eyes.

Although everyone didn’t say anything out loud about Finn, they were all fed up.

Even they began to wonder if something was really wrong with the Levin Family’s finances, and if Finn had really cut his kidney.

"Finn."

Just then, an old shareholder spoke up, "Everyone here was a comrade who followed your father back then, I believe that if you encounter any problems, everyone would be happy to help you. But then again, we’ve all been friends for so many years, so if something happens to you and you hide it from the group, that wouldn’t be nice."

As the words fell, the atmosphere in the entire room froze.

Lisa White looked at Finn in silence.

She only saw Finn’s face darkened quite a bit, but he didn’t have the intention to say anything more.

Just then, however, suddenly a secretary outside the door knocked and hurried in.

"Mr. Levin, Mr. Levin, several big leaders of the city and people from Hiltonan Newspaper are here! You may have to come over here immediately!"

Hiltonan Newspaper?

A hint of suspicion flashed in Finn’s eyes.
