CHAPTER 723: CHAPTER 723: THEY ARE NOT BLOOD SIBLINGS

Director Eastwood was hesitating, wondering whether to refuse being the messenger, when Yvonne Winslow interrupted her indecision: "People’s lives are at stake, his family had an accident on the yacht, if he doesn’t receive this call, he will regret it for the rest of his life."

Yvonne Winslow was concept-swapping.

Austin Stewart and Raina Sinclair’s commercial alliance was not yet confirmed, and his relationship with Jasper Sinclair couldn’t be considered close.

But, Yvonne Winslow had no other way.

As her heart raced endlessly, the voice of Austin Stewart came through the receiver: "Hello, this is Austin Stewart."

Upon hearing his voice, Yvonne Winslow sighed half-relieved, "Boss Stewart, I’m terribly sorry to disturb you, Director Sinclair is on the same yacht as you, he encountered some difficulties and needs the yacht to dock as soon as possible. I hope you can help, discreetly getting into the cockpit."

"I’m not familiar with him."

Due to a marriage that did not appeal to him, Austin Stewart’s attitude and view towards the Sinclair Family were not friendly.

"He is Raina Sinclair’s direct nephew, helping him might get Raina Sinclair to solve a problem for you, VK will also remember this favor, this deal can’t go wrong."

"What’s in it for me?"

"Within my abilities, name your terms."

Yvonne Winslow’s voice was unwavering, yet it carried an inexplicable momentum.

She wasn’t lying.

Currently, her position at VK was only second to Nora Northwood, and half of Stanton City’s business circle knew that Nora Northwood had a clever and capable secretary beside her.

Many wanted to dig out this golden brick, but she wouldn’t go anywhere but VK.

With VK’s development, very few in the industry would not give Yvonne Winslow face.

Thus, Austin Stewart reached a consensus with her.

It was a two-birds-with-one-stone idea, being appreciated by the Sinclair Family and selling VK a favor, truly a rare opportunity.

After the call ended, the remaining tension in Yvonne Winslow’s heart also loosened.

She conveyed the good news to Lily Sloan, "I’ve contacted the yacht people, they will find a way to dock."

"That’s great, Director Sinclair and Rhys Linden will certainly be fine."

Simultaneously, Lily Sloan also learned from her father’s call who Mr. Shepherd really was.

"Mr. Shepherd started following the Shepherd Family into the underworld at fourteen, experienced the pinnacle of the Shepherd Family, but suddenly announced his withdrawal from the underworld over twenty years ago."

"What was the reason for the withdrawal?" Lily Sloan asked over the phone.

"The specific reason is unknown, since then, his behavior has become much more restrained, and he tends to have a falling out with the Shepherd Family. For years, he’s been lukewarm, but... it might be related to the Shepherd’s daughter; they are not biological siblings."

Not biological siblings... When Lily Sloan heard this, she instinctively looked up at Yvonne Winslow.

Yvonne Winslow was also looking at her, and they read different messages in each other’s eyes.

After the call ended, the two began analyzing.

A shrewd expression flashed across Yvonne Winslow’s bright face, "No wonder Mr. Shepherd doesn’t care one bit about Rachel Woodward’s survival, and specified wanting only Yvonne Shepherd. It seems the entanglement between them is not as simple as it appears on the surface."

"So, everything can be explained now."

Finnian Lawrence spoke up to remind them to inform Nora Northwood of this matter.

At this moment, Nora Northwood was driving on the highway, about to reach Stanton City’s border.

When she received Lily Sloan’s call, she thought the situation had changed, and her heart was about to leap out of her throat.
