The Jewel of Your Love Chapter 1069 Not There Yet
Howard was waiting for Yvonne outside the building.When he saw her coming out, he immediately went up to her, ignoring the pain in his body. "Did Mark use Jade to threaten you to do something? Don't—""No," Yvonne interrupted Howard. She held him by his arm. "You'll be able to see Jade tonight. Go get your wounds cleaned up. Don't make her worry."Howard was overjoyed. "I can see her tonight?" The next second, he shook his head frantically. "No. No. Mark isn't that nice. He must have surely asked you to do something. I can't go and see Jade …""This is something between Mark and me. I dragged you two into this." Yvonne felt guilty. She sighed and said, "But I could only get you the chance to see her once a week. I'm sorry. I'll quickly find a way to rescue her."Howard was a little disappointed, but he forced a smile. He seemed to be comforting himself. He murmured, "Once a week is enough. I just need to make sure that she's fine."Yvonne's heart ached even more when she
The Jewel of Your Love Chapter 1070 Don’t Let Mark off the Hook
Half an hour later, Howard came out of the mansion. Yvonne collected her thoughts. She looked at Howard getting into the car and asked, "How is Jade?""She wants to come with me." Howard's heart ached when he thought about how Jade had sobbed and pleaded with him. He choked up, unable to say another word.Yvonne could understand what he was going through at that moment. She put her hand on his shoulder. "Howard, Jade will be fine."Howard nodded but said nothing.Yvonne looked at him for a while. She quietly sighed and started the engine, driving into the night. They were silent through the entire drive.When she reached the mines, Yvonne got out of the car and walked over to Howard. Howard suddenly knelt in front of her.Yvonne was taken aback. She quickly went to help him up. "What are you doing? Stand up and talk!""No." Howard pushed Yvonne's hand away. He looked up at her with a determined and sincere gaze, despite the tears welling in his eyes. "Ms. Y. I don't know wha
The Jewel of Your Love Chapter 1071 An Unspoken Rejection
Yvonne was at the border for a week before heading back. Before she left, she instructed Howard to contact her immediately if something happened to Jade. She also instructed him not to do anything reckless alone. Furthermore, he wasn't to tell anyone about this before Jade was rescued, in case it caused more trouble.After this round, Howard had learned his lesson. Other than sending himself to death, he couldn't do anything that would help Yvonne. Hence, he sincerely promised her that he would listen to her.Seeing how serious Howard was, Yvonne left in relief.Her plane landed in Northerna City that evening. Yvonne had just come out of the airport when she saw Stephen standing not far away.His frostiness was a huge juxtaposition to the lively atmosphere around him. It was hard not to notice him.Yvonne secretly sighed. Was he that eager for an answer?Seeing that Yvonne wasn't moving, Stephen walked over to her instead. Yvonne braced herself and asked, "Why are you here?"
The Jewel of Your Love Chapter 1072 Don’t Mention Her
During Euphoria Smith's peak hour late that night, the sound of glass shattering in the VIP room filled the air in the midst of the throbbing sound of music.James stood outside the door. He had smoked quite a few cigarettes by the time Julian finally arrived. He grabbed onto Julian as if he were his savior. He asked Julian urgently, "What happened to Stephen? He asked us out to have a drink, but all he did was drown himself in alcohol. Stanley and I couldn't even stop him!"However, Julian was also stumped. "Why is Mr. Anderson here?"Stephen had been in a good mood that morning. He had specially arranged to visit a sky garden as a surprise for Yvonne. That was why Julian had been busy decorating the sky garden since that morning.He had waited until nightfall, but Stephen had been nowhere to be found. He had even tried calling Stephen a few times, but the latter hadn't answered. Without Stephen's orders, he hadn't dared to just leave, which was why he had been waiting at the
The Jewel of Your Love Chapter 1073 Come to Your Senses
At Miller Villa, Yvonne was on the couch talking to Jim on the phone, discussing the recent Hope Health Services operations.Jim knew Yvonne well. Even through the call, he could sense that she was a little distracted."Is something bothering you?""No …" Yvonne replied softly, clearly feeling sheepish."What can't you talk to me about? Is it about your relationship?" Jim immediately thought of Stephen. "Is he mistreating you again?""No." On the contrary, she was the one mistreating Stephen this time. But she didn't say that to Jim. If she were to explain it to him, he would only worry more.She sighed and brought up another matter, trying to distract Jim. "Grandpa, I plan to officially take over the entire Hope Health Services after a while.""What?" Jim was a little surprised. "What made you come to your senses?" He had been trying to get Yvonne to take over Hope Health Services for a long time. But she had always declined with one excuse or another. Hence, he had taken
The Jewel of Your Love Chapter 1074 What Nonsense
Just as Yvonne was hesitating about whether to pretend she wasn't home, she saw Stephen stumble and fall.She jumped and quickly opened the door. The next second, a limp body fell near her legs. She bent down to check on him. He reeked of alcohol. She furrowed her brows tighter.Stephen lay on the ground, looking at Yvonne's disgusted expression. He smiled. Unfortunately, he looked even uglier than if he were crying. He also looked a little silly.Yvonne was a little annoyed. "Stephen, are you so drunk that you've gotten lost? This is my house! Not yours!""I know." Stephen supported himself with both hands and sat up. He leaned against the door. "I have something to say to you.""Do you even know what you're talking about in such a state?" Yvonne looked at the Maybach outside her gate. She guessed that there must be someone in the car. She reached out and pulled Stephen by the arm. "Get up. I'll help you to your car so that you can go home."Unexpectedly, Stephen pulle
The Jewel of Your Love Chapter 1075 A Fresh Start
It was a night full of desire. The moon outside the window glowed gently.They finally stopped at dawn. Morning came, and the sun shone through the window on Stephen's body.Stephen's lower body was under the covers. The sun shone on his perfect torso, casting a warm glow. He looked extremely good-looking, even when he was sound asleep.The scratches on his chest made him seem even more seductive. Yvonne silently admired his body with delight. Soon, Stephen stirred from sleep, thanks to the sunlight shining brightly on him.He slowly opened his eyes and reached for the side of the bed next to him."Are you up?" Yvonne's gentle voice rang out. Stephen's frantic heart was relieved.He looked toward the window to see Yvonne holding a cup of coffee, smiling mischievously at him. For a moment, he felt as if he was the one being violated.No matter what, he was thankful that what had happened the night before wasn't a dream.He sat up and leaned against the head of the bed. "Last n
The Jewel of Your Love Chapter 1076 A Great Move
Half an hour later, Yvonne headed downstairs with Stephen following behind her.Lloyd was bewildered. "M-Mr. Anderson, why were you upstairs?""He got drunk last night and came over to Miller Villa, so I helped him in," Yvonne responded nonchalantly. When she was by Lloyd's side, she knocked him on the head. "Don't read too much into this. That'll be better for your mental health."Lloyd smiled cheekily. A man and woman spending time alone in the middle of the night. How could one not read too much into it?Even so, they were adults, so it was only normal if anything had happened. Lloyd gave Stephen a gaze of admiration. That was a great move!Stephen pretended like nothing had happened. He calmly walked over to the dining hall.During breakfast, Yvonne said, "I plan to fully take over Hope Health Services. After Elvin's summer break, I'll return to the headquarters to take over from Grandpa."Lloyd was stunned. "Does that mean you'll be leaving Northerna City?""Yes. You'l

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.

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 Jewel of Your Love Chapter 1675 Let Otto Have Yvonne for a While
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.

After Agatha left, Otto stood in the same spot without moving.A long time later, Zac entered the office.

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.
