Chapter 179 You Can Leave Now
The news of Eric waking up spread quickly.
Davison Group’s stock prices stabilized and started rising again, and all the online rumors vanished, with no one daring to say another disparaging word.
Eric’s recovery brought mixed reactions throughout Capital City. Some people were happy, while others were dismayed.
Upon hearing that Eric was awake, George let out a long sigh of relief. The news caused many Davison Group employees to fall in line, with no one daring to cause any trouble.
Even the companies that had been aggressively opposing Davison Group suddenly became quiet. Those who had been hesitant about collaborating with Davison Group quickly sought to make amends, but George turned down all their offers.
As for Yves, he was so furious that he smashed a bottle of red wine. The shattered bottle spilled crimson liquid everywhere, and the broken glass nearly cut Simon, who stood obsequiously nearby.
“Useless fool! You can’t even manage to knock out one woman? You’re a grown man and you can’t handle Kate?” Yves glared at Simon, seething with rage.
Simon clenched his fists tightly, stammering in his defense, “It’s not that, Mr. Younghusband. Kate has too many bodyguards. I couldn’t find an opportunity.
Yves tugged at his tie in frustration, taking a deep breath. His eyes were cold as he said, “That plant could only be used once. Eric has already figured out something was wrong. It will be difficult to fool him again. You couldn’t even manage to kidnap Kate properly.Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.
“Simon, tell me, why should I keep you around? What value do you have left for me?”
Yves crossed his legs and glared at the groveling Simon, his voice dripping with menace.
Simon gritted his teeth, feeling utterly humiliated. But he still tried to appease Yves, saying, “Mr. Younghusband, I do have value! Kate liked me for a long time before. She must still have some feelings for me!
“And I also have some secrets about Kate.”
Simon’s face twisted with reluctance as he handed Yves a USB drive.
Yves raised an eyebrow. “Oh?”
He took the USB drive from Simon nonchalantly, his eyes narrowing with increased displeasure. “If you had something like this, why are you only showing it to me now?”
Of course, Simon had kept it for self–protection. If he exposed all his cards to Yves, he wouldn’t have any leverage left.

Simon forced an awkward smile and remained silent.

Yves plugged the USB drive into his computer and watched a video. His eyebrows lifted, and his expression grew amused. “I never expected Kate to have this side to her. I wonder how Eric will react if this gets out.”
Simon smiled obsequiously. “Mr. Younghusband, your intelligence is unmatched. Eric is no match for you. Just tell me what to do, and I’ll arrange it immediately.”
Yves scoffed at Simon’s sycophantic behavior. “No need.”
Playing lazily with the USB drive, Yves’s smile widened. “Something this interesting shouldn’t be released too early…
“And you can leave now.”

Yves cast a cold glance at Simon and unceremoniously dismissed him.
Feeling utterly humiliated, Simon left Yves’s villa. Standing by the roadside, he took a deep breath, clenching his fists tightly.
Damn Yves. He’s not cooperating with me, he’s just using me as a tool!
But what choice did he have? If he wanted to take down Kate and Eric, he had no option but to cling to Yves.
Simon took a deep breath and was about to walk away when his phone rang in his pocket.
Seeing the caller ID, he hung up in disgust.
