The Jewel of Your Love Chapter 1007 Has There Been Any Deterioration
As Yvonne came out of the shower, she sneezed repeatedly.She rubbed her nose and wondered if she had upset someone. Why did it feel like someone was talking behind her back?She sat on the bed with crossed legs. Her mind wandered as she dried her hair with a towel.The image of Stephen guiding her hand to unbutton his shirt flashed in her mind again.With each button that came undone, his toned abs had slowly come into view.They were perfectly balanced—not too flabby or lean. They were just the right blend of masculine strength and irresistible charm.When Yvonne realized her heart was racing, she snapped back to reality. She cupped her warm cheeks with both hands."Yvonne, you have seen everything, haven’t you? Can't you handle a bit of physical attraction? "You’re wealthy enough to hire dozens of male models for an ab show at a club. "Yes, that's right. Why obsess over a guy's physique?" Yvonne muttered to herself and then took a deep breath.But once she composed herse

If she was okay with it? No way in hell!Yvonne shoved Stephen away and shot him a cold look. She warned, "I'll scream if you continue, Stephen."Seeing her getting agitated, Stephen stopped teasing and said, "Drink the hangover remedy. Stop obsessing over things that have already happened."Yvonne gave Stephen an annoyed look and focused on drinking her soup, obviously not wanting to speak to him anymore."Mark left early this morning without Chuck."Yvonne raised her eyes and asked, "He didn't ask Leonard and Claude for him?""Hmm?" Stephen asked, intrigued. "Did you tell Mark that Claude has Chuck?"Yvonne was speechless.How devious was this man? He set traps whenever he had the chance!Yvonne admitted, "Yes, I told him last night. Mark is naturally wary and smart, so I took a chance.""You might have guessed correctly, then," Stephen replied casually. "This morning, Leonard and Claude saw him off."If Mark had confronted Leonard and Claude over Chuck, things wouldn'

"If you two think it's inappropriate, I can leave." Stephen was about to leave, but Yvonne held him back.She smiled at Claude and Leonard. "Stephen is one of our own. He might even be able to help."Leonard smiled benevolently. "Yvonne is right. An extra friend is a good thing. "Stephen, have a seat. Sorry for the misunderstanding just now."Leonard got Stephen to take a seat, and he poured him a cup of tea.Stephen lowered his gaze and said nothing. Just by sitting there, he was giving off a suffocating air of dominance.Claude and Leonard looked at him for a while before Claude said, "I heard that Yvonne had passed out after drinking Jane's cocktail."Yvonne chuckled. "Yes, Ms. Ford's cocktail sure was potent. I was careless. I drank it all without understanding what I was drinking.""I know Jane best. She's too spoiled." Claude sighed. "Luckily, this didn't become a huge problem."Although Claude hadn't said it explicitly, Yvonne understood that he knew exactly what Jan

In the end, Leonard and Claude didn't explain their plan in detail. They had only said that once Chuck had recovered, they would let him and Yvonne continue working together. By then, she would understand every step of their plan."Yvonne, you have to believe that we have a common enemy and the same goal." Leonard had put it so sincerely that if Yvonne hadn't known any better, she would have been fooled.Leaving Claude and Leonard, Yvonne said pensively, "Although Well Spring Pharma is huge, Claude and Leonard must have their eyes on something much bigger than that."If not, they wouldn't have given up Well Spring Pharma as a gift to her so easily."Forget about it." Yvonne chuckled gently. "This trip wasn't in vain after all. At least we know the true relationship between Chuck and them, and we can work on the same plan together. No matter what, it's much better than not knowing anything."Yvonne turned around to look at Stephen. "What do you think?"Under the sun, Yvonne's

Upon arriving in Northerna City, Yvonne and Stephen split up at the airport entrance.Julian came to pick Stephen up. When Stephen got in the car, he said, "Sir, while you weren't around, Noah has been staying at Anderson Mansion all day long. He didn't go anywhere." Julian thought for a while before continuing, "He seems rather down after Katie was sent abroad."Stephen looked at Julian. "Will you care for the woman who smashed a bottle on your head?"Julian smiled. "They did indeed look like they weren't close to each other back then. But now that she's no longer by his side, perhaps he's realized how important she was to him.""Ask yourself, how possible do you think this is?" Stephen calmly said before leaning his head on his hand and resting. "Things could still go wrong. Better keep a close eye on him."Julian nodded. "Okay. By the way, there is another matter. The HR department is urgently looking for you to sign the paperwork for the fall recruitment. I brought it alon

That night, Yvonne tucked Elvin in bed.She had missed him terribly since she hadn't seen him for a few days. "I'll sleep with you tonight. How about that?"Elvin furrowed his brows. "There's no need—"Yvonne placed a finger on his mouth, stopping him from refusing her. "Shh. It's decided."Elvin couldn't do anything, so he caved in.Yvonne happily hugged Elvin and nuzzled his face. "You're so heartless. I've missed you so much. Why does it seem like you didn't miss me?""You were with the evil man. So I wasn't worried," Elvin replied, pushing Yvonne's face away with difficulty. "Mommy, I'm on my summer break. I won't need him to fetch me anymore.""That's okay. You can stay at home and play, or where do you want to go? I can take you—""You won't be able to see him every day anymore," Elvin reminded her.Yvonne was a little stunned. Then, she chuckled awkwardly. "It's annoying to see him every day. This is just nice."Elvin didn't buy it. "Is that so?"Yvonne was somehow

When Elvin and Britney arrived at the lobby of Anderson Group, they bumped into the fresh hires who had just gathered there.Britney was holding onto Julian's hand and had her other hand around her doll. She pranced ahead of Julian.Meanwhile, Elvin hadn't let Julian hold his hand. He had both hands in his pocket. He even pulled his cap down lower.They might be of similar age, but their personalities were wildly different. Furthermore, they were both very good-looking. Naturally, they attracted quite a lot of attention.Once Julian took them into the elevator, the people finally came to their senses and discussed among themselves."Are they Mr. Anderson and Ms. Miller's children? They are so much more adorable in person!""Yes! The photos online didn't do them justice!""I'm envious of them! I want their parents!"Among the discussions, a young lady asked the colleague next to her, "Who was the man who took them?"The colleague looked at her with contempt. "Julian Jacobs. He'

At the same time, Julian rushed over to the HR department. When he entered, his expression was somewhat ugly."What's going on? An entire morning has gone by. Is the newcomers' onboarding process not done yet?"The HR manager looked troubled. "Mr. Jacobs, I've been trying to get it done, but one newcomer isn't happy with the job assigned to her."Julian furrowed her brows. "If she's a newcomer and she's not willing to listen, why don't you just fire her?""This newcomer is no ordinary person." The HR manager went in closer and said softly, "She had a personal recommendation from the boss of Finspatial Securities. We have to show some deference.""Finspatial Securities recommended her?" Julian was stunned. "Did you do your background check? Where is she from?""If you're so curious, why don't you just ask me?" A woman's voice rang out.Julian looked up to see a young lady smiling at him. He frowned more.She looked young. If she had connections to the higher-ups at Finspatia

The entire Carrington family had been celebrating.They had doted on Mark and taken him wherever they went.That day, they had headed out. Before they'd known it, Mark had been taken away.Just when Daniel and Katherine had been on the brink of losing it, they had received a call from the kidnapper to bring the ransom to a specific spot.They had gotten the money and driven there without any hesitation. No one had thought that they would ever return after that. Even Mark had disappeared.When Agatha finished recounting this, her cup of tea had already cooled.She wiped her tears away. She said through a catch in her throat, "Katherine was hugging the bag of money tightly until the moment she passed away, as though she were hugging you."Mark furrowed his brows. Now that he'd heard the truth about Daniel and Katherine, he should have felt pain
The Jewel of Your Love Chapter 1677 He Won't Take it to Heart
As Yvonne left the room, she could tell that Stephen's mood was much better.She looked at him. "Are you thinking of something nice?""No." Stephen looked at Yvonne with a rare twinkle in his eyes."Let me take you to breakfast." Before Yvonne could respond, he took her hand and led her to the elevator.Thinking about how he'd stood outside her room the entire night, Yvonne decided to let him hold her hand.Then, her thoughts drifted to Otto. Somehow, she had a bad feeling.…At the same time, Mark was in the courtyard of Carrington Mansion. He sat next to Agatha and poured some tea for her.He handed her a cup of hot tea. "Great-Grandma, try this."When he noticed that Agatha had no reaction, he called out to her once more. "Great-Grandma?""Huh?" Agatha came to her senses. She looked at Mark in confusion. "What is it?""You've been distracted since yesterday. Are you thinking of something?" Mark asked.Agatha shook her head. "Nothing." Then, she picked up her teacup and
The Jewel of Your Love Chapter 1676 His World Falling Apart
Yvonne stood by the door of the bedroom and looked at Otto, who was looking out of the window in a daze on the bed.The sun shone on his face. He looked quite hungover and had a sickly pale face.Yvonne hesitated for a while before saying gently, "Mrs. Jenner called me last night. She's worried about you."Otto didn't respond.Yvonne went in closer and added, "She said that you called her and asked about your father. She found it strange."Mr. Carrington, why did you suddenly think about your father? Did Mrs. Carrington Senior bring him up yesterday?"All Yvonne got was silence.Luckily, she was patient. She sat on the couch and followed Otto's line of sight. Tiny dust particles were floating among the sunbeams. Yvonne also fell into a daze as she watched them float about.Suddenly, Otto asked, "Have you ever felt like your world was falling apart?""Hmm?" Yvonne was confused. "For example?""I mean, like the person that you trust turns out to be different from what you'd t

The next morning, Yvonne opened her door to see Stephen standing outside. She was caught off guard."What is wrong with you this morning? Why didn't you knock…"While talking, Yvonne noticed that Stephen was still wearing the same clothes as the night before. She furrowed her brows and asked, "Don't tell me you didn't leave last night? Have you been standing outside this door all this while?""Hmm." Stephen looked at Yvonne intently. "I thought you would've figured it out quickly."Yvonne was speechless, but she thought to herself that she'd slept like a baby the night before.She smiled at him. "Figure what out?" She noticed Stephen frowning as though he were on the brink of losing his temper.She quickly added, "I-I mean, you have to give me a hint, right? I've thought about it the entire night, but I still don't understand. My brain isn't functioning well."Stephen asked suspiciously, "You've been thinking about it the entire night?""Yes, which is why I didn't look for yo
The Jewel of Your Love Chapter 1674 You Still Think There's No Problem
"If I hadn't come to find you tonight, you probably wouldn't tell me anything about what happened tonight, would you?" Stephen asked in retort.It wasn't a big deal, as long as they returned safely. Yvonne wondered why she needed to report this to him.But she still smiled. "It's late. How could I disrupt your rest? It would've been the same if I told you about it tomorrow morning, right?"Stephen sniggered. "Yvonne, you still don't know where you've gone wrong."He suddenly went in closer to her. Yvonne instinctively retreated until her back was up against the wall. She glared at him."What on earth is wrong with you? I've already said that I would've told you tomorrow morning—"A punch went past Yvonne and landed brutally on the wall.Yvonne was a little stunned. She looked into Stephen's eyes and furrowed her brows. "Stephen, I don't want to quarrel with you for no reason. "Mrs. Carrington Senior went to look for Otto today. Calbert couldn't reach him the entire day, so he

Jane returned to the private room, distracted.She sat down next to Cory. She looked at him as he reached his hand out to her in confusion.Cory furrowed his brows and asked unhappily, "Where's the wine?""Wine… Yes! Wine!" Jane came to her senses. She was just about to get up when Cory pulled her back.He grabbed her by her chin and forced her to look at him. "What happened when you went out?""N-Nothing."Cory tightened his grip. Jane furrowed her brows in pain. "I-I… I saw Yvonne. She told me that she and Stephen got remarried.""What?" Cory relaxed his grip a little. "They got remarried?""Hmm.""So, what?" He had no intention of letting her go, and he looked at her sharply. "Does it bother you so much that Stephen got remarried?"Jane looked at Cory frantically. "Cory, what do you mean by that?""What do I mean? You know what I mean."Cory went in closer. His tone turned icy. "You used to pursue Stephen. Now that you know he's gotten married, you're in this shitty mood

Yvonne turned around to see Jane smiling at her ambiguously. She furrowed her brows. How were they always bumping into each other?Jane crossed her hands in front of her chest and leaned against the wall. She swept her gaze at Calbert and Otto. "Two guys and one woman. You sure know how to have fun!"Calbert instantly snapped, "What the hell are you talking about?""Why are you being so fierce? Did I hit the nail on the head?" Jane snickered. "Two guys and a woman came out of a private room in the middle of the night. Anyone would come to the same conclusion. We're all adults. There's no need to pretend to be innocent.""You—" Calbert was about to go up to Jane, but Yvonne stopped him."Since Ms. Ford is here, I'm guessing so is Cory?" Yvonne smiled, yet her smile didn't reach her eyes. "If you cause a scene here and this bar gets raided, guess who'll be the ones walking out here alive?"Jane's expression turned ugly. "Are you threatening me?""It's just a kind reminder." Yvon
The Jewel of Your Love Chapter 1671 We Meet Again
Calbert and Yvonne managed to track Otto's car to a bar, thanks to the information they'd gotten from his staff. Otto's car was right outside the bar.Calbert looked at the neon sign and furrowed his brows. "Why is Otto here? Did what Mrs. Carrington Senior said really hit him so badly that he has to drown himself in alcohol?"Yvonne said nothing and headed directly inside the bar."Wait up for me!" Calbert went after her. He subconsciously protected her from all the drunk patrons.The lighting in the bar was dim. Many of the patrons were drunk and having fun.Yvonne and Calbert walked around the booth area, but Otto was nowhere to be found. They pulled a server over to ask if there was a patron by the name of Otto Carrington who had reserved a private room.Coincidentally, the server had just taken two bottles of wine to Otto's room. So, he led them to the private room.Calbert tipped the server before opening the door and entering. The entire room reeked of alcohol.He looked

After Agatha left, Otto stood in the same spot without moving.A long time later, Zac entered the office. He looked at Otto's back and asked quietly, "Mr. Carrington, will you still see the client?""No." Otto sounded heartbroken.Zac didn't dare ask further questions. He gently closed the door and reminded the secretary that no one was to disturb Otto.In the office, Otto was alone. He slowly walked over to the couch and slumped into it. His mind was in a mess."Alexander was the one who planned the kidnapping back then."Agatha's words rang in his mind for a long time.Alexander's young face appeared in Otto's mind, smiling at him affectionately."Otto! Amazing! Yes! Just like that!""You're amazing at badminton! You're going to make the country proud! I'm going to be so proud of you!""Otto, my son!"Memories of his interactions with Alexander flashed across his mind at that moment.Otto couldn't imagine that such a loving father would do such an absurd thing.
