Chapter 206
Meanwhile, in Clusia Corporation, Yuri was dealing with the company’s matter bitterly with dark circles under his eyes. “I’m telling you, Samuel; I won’t let it go even if you’re my friend. If you don’t give me my bonus this year, we won’t be friends anymore.”
On the other side of the phone, Samuel was amused by Yuri. “The company belongs to you two. You can ask for anything.”
“Don’t talk nonsense. Josie is getting better. Hurry up and manage the company.” Yuri changed the topic.
“Yuri; I really don’t know how to say it. Over the years, the company has really relied on you.” Samuel didn’t want to be sentimental, but he was really grateful to Yuri.
“Don’t be pretentious here. I helped you, and you helped me too. It’s just a matter of mutual benefit,” Yuri smiled. “All right, you should watch and take care of Josie during this time. You’re so lucky.”
Samuel didn’t say anything.
“You don’t have to support the Turner family. Your sisters protect you, and you also have me helping out for the company. Don’t you think you’re lucky?” Yuri teased Samuel.
He wanted Samuel to relax.
“Josie will be fine,” Yuri comforted Samuel and said.
After hanging up the phone, Yuri sighed and became nervous.
Josie was really Samuel’s whole world.
He hoped they would be together if she could make it through this time.
“Mr. Yancey, Ms. Hayes is here,” the assistant reminded outside the door.
Yuri smiled, “Let her in.”
“Mr. Yancey.” Madelyn walked in with lunch in her hand, momentarily speechless before she said, “Please enjoy your lunch.”
“It’s cold.” Yuri frowned and pretended to be unhappy. “How can I eat it?”

“Suit yourself.” Madelyn didn’t tolerate his provocation. “Mr. Yancey, I’m off today!”
When she was about to take a nap, Yuri called her and said he hadn’t eaten breakfast and had low blood sugar.
“Huh? What does having low blood sugar have to do with her?” she wondered at that time.
“I have a bad stomach. My stomach hurts when I eat cold food,” Yuri sighed. “Forget it. It’s okay. I’ll eat it.”
Madelyn gritted her teeth. “Okay, I’ll heat the food.”
After saying that, she heated the food with the company’s microwave oven.
Yuri smiled and said nothing.
“Mr. Yancey, can you raise my salary?” Madelyn’s words always revolved around money. After all, making money was the most important thing to her.
“It’s the first time you delivered food to me, and you want a raise already?” Yuri was holding a condescending look as if telling her he was trying to oppress her.
“Stingy man,” Madelyn muttered and went to pour hot water for Yuri..
“Drink some hot water!” Madelyn asked Yuri to drink some hot water first as she thought he had a stomach ache.
“I’m really tired these days.” Yuri began to feign pity.
“If I were in your position, I’m willing to work myself to death,” Madelyn said and tutted.
“Tomorrow morning, I want to have a roast beef sandwich from Eastern Road,” Yuri said shamelessly.
Madelyn gritted her teeth.
“Okay!”
“After work tonight, I’ll take you to eat. You can enjoy a feast.” Yuri gave Madelyn a chance for revenge.
“Remember what you said.” Madelyn squinted her eyes.
“Well, we can go to Ipsilon Fiesta too if you want. Just let me know if you want anything.”
Ipsilon Fiesta was the largest luxury mall in Hofcaster.

Madelyn succumb
“Do you think I’m such a materialistic person?” Madelyn wavered in her stance but wanted to wait longer to see
if he would offer more.
“I’ll give you a six–digit year–end bonus,” Yuri said again.
“Deal. Tell me, what the hell do you want? I’ll tell you in advance that I won’t do anything that will betray my
friends.” Madelyn slammed on the table.
Yuri smiled, “My mom has returned to the country. She urges me to get married. I want you to be my girlfriend
for three months.”
“In your…” Madelyn wanted to say “in your dreams,” but when she thought about it carefully, it seemed she wouldn’t suffer losses if she pretended to be Yuri’s girlfriend. “Just pretending? I don’t need to do anything
else?”
“I don’t mind if you want to do something else.” Yuri held back his smile.
“So I can buy anything at Ipsilon Fiesta?” Madelyn confirmed again.
Yuri nodded with a smile.
“Okay, I won’t suffer a loss. It’s a deal.” Madelyn nodded.
“What would you like to eat tonight, my dear girlfriend?” Yuri stared at Madelyn intently and smiled smugly.
“How about we get some steaks?” Madelyn said unceremoniously.
“Okay, I’ll arrange for it.”
Meanwhile, City Hall, Quinton’s face was gloomy. He had been waiting for an hour, and Jessica still hadn’t
shown up.

“Humph.” Quinton was unhappy.

“Well, I know I was wrong. What compensation do you want?” Jessica coaxed Quinton with a smile.

Sometimes, Quinton was like a child who needed to be coaxed.
“It’s up to me how you can make up for it.” Quinton began to bargain.
“Got it, got it.” Jessica hurriedly nodded. “Hurry up. City Hall is about to close.”
They came to get the certificate. Quinton was afraid that Jessica would feel insecure.
He wanted to give Jessica a sense of security and let her do what she wanted to do at ease.
“Sign the contract.” Quinton put the contract in front of Jessica.
“What?” Jessica was stugned for a moment.
“It’s for the notarization of prenuptial property,” Quinton smiled.
Jessica looked through it and was shocked. “Why do you have so many assets?”
“They belong to you now.” Quinton raised his eyebrows and looked proud.
“No way.” Jessica was a little flustered.
“Sign it, and they will all be marital property.” Quinton frowned and took Jessica’s finger to stamp the document.
Jessica’s eyes brimmed red. She was already contented that Quinton was willing to marry her.
“Quinton, are you sure about this? This is not a joke.” If Quinton decided he no longer wanted her in the future, she wouldn’t take these assets too.
Quinton was willing to accompany her now, which was the greatest gift.
“Do you thin, I’m an idiot or just a reckless man?” Quinton sighed.
Jessica lowered her heads “No…”

“Then sign it. Hurry up. Don’t waste time. I want to take you to another place later.” Quinton urged Jessica.
Jessica obediently signed and followed Quinton in a daze throughout the whole process. The two took photos. and conducted physical examinations before getting the marriage certificate.
Jessica still hadn’t returned to her senses when they left City Hall.
She was holding two red marriage certificates in her hand and was smiling foolishly.
“Let’s go,” Quinton smiled and pulled Jessica into his arms.
“Where are we going?” Jessica was in a good mood.
“You’ll know when you get there.”
At Hofcaster Hospital, Samuel was talking to the hospital director, saying, “She keeps feeling sleepy now. Does it have something to do with those drugs?”
worry. You take good care of her.” The hospital director patted Samuel on the shoulder. “She will be fine.”
Samuel’s palms were sweating. “Can she withstand this treatment with her current body condition?”
“We will make the best arrangements. Acute promyelocytic leukemia M3 is not difficult to treat,” the hospital
director assured Samuel.
But no one could guarantee a hundred percent of success rate when it came to diseases.
“She’ll be fine…” Samuel leaned against the wall and rubbed his eyebrows.
In the parking lot behind the hospital lurked an unknown figure.
“Silas, Josie’s treatment time is the day after tomorrow.” In the car, someone kept staring in the direction of the hospital while talking on the phone..
“Ms. Locke said we can’t let Josie’s treatment proceed smoothly.”
