Chapter 596
"Long time no see, Mr. King." Yvette greeted Steven politely.
Steven's gaze on her grew more affectionate. Immediately afterward, he sent a cold glare toward Bryan.
"I'm sorry, Yvie. It's my fault for not managing my subordinates better, causing you to be treated badly! If Barnabus heard about this, he'd have my head!"
Everyone including Bryan was stunned yet again. From Steven's tone, Yvette was not only regarded highly by him, but also Barnabus.
Steven and Barnabus were both highly respected figures within the research community. Being acknowledged by one of them was enough to secure one's future in the research community, and yet Yvette had the approval of not just one but both of them! The
person they should've been sucking up to wasn't lan, but Yvette!
Bryan was filled with great regret. He wished he could go back in time and slap himself. Why did he have to mess with Yvette when everything had been just fine? Instead, he had gotten himself into big trouble!
Yvette smiled. "Don't worry, Mr. King. I won't tell Mr. Zabel about this."
There was no need to trouble Barnabus over a small matter like this, especially when Barnabus was still injured and needed proper rest. Even if he was often trying to squeeze money out of her, she was still worried for his well-being! ""Good, good!"
Steven immediately sighed in relief. He looked gratefully at Yvette. What a sensible and well-
behaved child she was!
How dare Bryan try to cause trouble for her, that senseless mutt!
Instantly, Steven's cold gaze fell on Bryan, who almost collapsed in fear.
"Mr. King, I didn't know she was acquainted with you," he explained hurriedly, voice
trembling. "If I had known, there was no way in the world I would've dared treat her that way...

Yvette cut him off coldly. "Oh? So you're saying that if I hadn't been someone important, it would've been fine to bully me all you wanted?"
Bryan sweated profusely at her words. He shook his head repeatedly. "No, no! I didn't mean it that way... Mr. King, I know how wrong I was! I'll never do something like this again!
"Please won't you let me off just this once, on account of all the work I've done for the association all these years?"
"If Yvie hadn't told me, who knows how long I'd have continued to be deceived by your two-faced behavior!
Judging by the guilt on his face, he had probably been using his status within the Research Association to bully many of its members in the past.
Steven was furious. "You're hereby officially removed from your position as vice president of the Research Association. From now on, you're no longer allowed to enter the Research Association!"
He was basically being blacklisted!
Bryan's face paled instantly.
"Mr. King," he said through gritted teeth. "I may have made a mistake, but I've also made many contributions to the association throughout the years. I can't accept that you're kicking me out of the Research Association just because of her!" "What makes you think you can even compare yourself to her?" Steven laughed humorlessly. He looked at Bryan as if he was stupid.
He added, "Yvie always insists on keeping it low-key, but that's exactly what enables people like you to look down on her!"
