The Jewel of Your Love Chapter 1119 No Match for You
"You …" Jane was furious, but Yvonne had the upper hand. She gritted her teeth. In the end, all she could say was, "Shameless woman!"Yvonne looked a little disappointed. "Is that all you got?" Jane's reaction made Yvonne lose all interest in her. Thus, she retracted her hand, walked past Jane, and left.Yvonne had just exited the corridors when a hand suddenly grabbed her by the arm. She spun around and fell into someone's arm against his firm pecs. The familiar woody scent enveloped her.She looked up and smiled at Stephen. "Why are you here?""If I hadn't come, I wouldn't know that I was just one of your options."Yvonne stared at Stephen. "I said it on purpose to mess with Jane. Did you really believe it?""After all, you are beautiful and capable, Ms. Miller. Having more than one option is just normal." Stephen smiled. Yvonne tugged on his tie and raised her chin. "Stephen, you've gotten bold. How dare you tease me?""I would never dare." Stephen smiled wider. He wrap

The party was still going on. Claude hadn't seen Jane for almost 20 minutes. He was just about to get up to look for her when he saw her wade through the crowd and walk toward him."Why were you gone for so long?"Jane looked at Claude distractedly. She hesitated before responding, "I-I bumped into Yvonne in the ladies' room. Then, I took a call.""You talked to Yvonne?""Yes." Jane scanned around. "Where are they?""They went upstairs. Yvonne got drunk, so she's staying the night." Claude pulled Jane alone back to their seats. He quietly reminded her, "We're here to celebrate Neil's birthday. We're not in our own house. "You have to mind your manners. Do you hear me? If you continue behaving the way you did tonight, I won't be able to help you.""Okay," Jane responded, feeling annoyed. She took a sip of her drink and hesitated for a while before asking, "Grandpa, did you get Chuck to deal with Jade?"Claude was surprised. "How did you know?""Chuck called me just now. He s

The next morning, Neil was working out in the courtyard when he heard footsteps approaching. He stopped what he was doing and turned around. "Ms. Miler, you're up early.""I had too much to drink last night. I went to bed early, so naturally, I got up early." Yvonne went closer to see a table full of workout equipment. "You have such a good habit of getting some exercise.""Well, I ruined my health from all the socializing I did back then. Now that I finally have quieter days, I'll have to watch my health. I'm just paying back the deficit."Neil raised his hand to get the household staff to take the equipment on the table away. Then, he gestured for Yvonne to take a seat. "You came just in time. I just finished my workout. Why don't you accompany me for some tea?""Sure," Yvonne happily agreed.Soon, the household staff brought in all the things required for brewing tea, among them a teapot with hot water inside.After setting the table, they left Neil and Yvonne alone.Ne
The Jewel of Your Love Chapter 1122 This Trip Wasn't in Vain
Neil didn't even give Yvonne a chance to discuss things with him. He finished his cup of tea and found an excuse to leave. Yvonne couldn't get him to stay.Seeing Neil leave, Yvonne sighed helplessly. His rejection came so quickly.As she returned to the mansion, Yvonne bumped into Leonard. She politely nodded and greeted him, "Good morning.""You're up early. I see you've met Neil already," Leonard said teasingly.Yvonne was speechless. A hint of annoyance gleamed in her eyes. "You're up early too. Seeing how you've watched the entire process, are you worried that I've struck a deal with him or something?"Leonard waved his hands. "There is nothing I should be worried about. If you've made a deal, that's because you're capable. I would have to praise you instead."Yvonne said nothing. She merely looked at Leonard silently. He sure had a sharp tongue."Yvonne, I'm not trying to lecture you." Leonard went in closer and said with an air of seniority, "You're still young. Don't g
The Jewel of Your Love Chapter 1123 What’s the Purpose
"Okay, we'll return as soon as we can," Yvonne assured Jim before placing her phone down. Stephen, who was by her side, asked, "What happened?""Chuck is at Hope. No idea why." Yvonne turned to look at Stephen. "Is it possible that Leonard and Claude might have given him a new mission?"Stephen furrowed his brows a little. "He was just beaten up by Mark's men last month. Is he up to no good again?"Yvonne shrugged. "I don't know. All I know is that it's worrying. We should return quickly.""How was your talk with Neil?" Stephen asked."Let's talk in the room." Yvonne led Stephen into her room. Pouring a glass of water, she recounted her conversation with Neil. Yvonne finished her story and took a huge mouthful of water before asking, "What do you think of Leonard's suggestion?""You could do as he says. After all, he insists on doing you a favor. If you don't accept it, he'll get worried," Stephen answered.Yvonne smiled. "I think the same way too, but I shouldn't accept h
The Jewel of Your Love Chapter 1124 Wait for Jade to Come Around
Chuck turned around and smiled. "I'm just looking around."Jim went up to him. He swept a glance at Jade in her room before warning Chuck, "They are all clients of Hope. We have to respect their privacy. You, as an outsider, can't be here.""How am I an outsider? In any case, I am—""Don't say you're a partner or any other nonsense," Jim interrupted him coldly. "You're at Hope. You will have to follow the rules."Seeing how firm Jim was, Chuck replied, "Okay. Fine."Chuck was about to leave when he suddenly had a thought. He stopped in his tracks. "I heard that this patient is in a coma because of a lack of oxygen due to her heart condition. I'm quite well-versed in this area. Why don't I—""Where did you hear this from?" Jim furrowed his brows."I was being nosy, so I asked around," Chuck said nonchalantly. "It's a habit. I can't help but get curious about each patient's condition whenever I see them.""Heh." Jim sneered. "I never knew you were so concerned for patients
The Jewel of Your Love Chapter 1125 No Problem
Claude laughed out satisfactorily when he saw Chuck's message. It seemed that Chuck was still quite reliable.Jane, who was sitting next to him, moved closer. "What are you laughing at?""Chuck has already gone to Hope. He even got the schedule of Jade's nightly routine checks. I'm guessing he'll soon be able to find a chance to kill her."Claude handed his phone to Jane. "Didn't you say he was an outsider and couldn't be trusted? This proves that your grandfather never judges a person wrongly, right?"Jane read the message. Her suspended heart was relieved. It looked like she had just been overthinking. She smiled and wrapped her arms around Claude's. "Thank you for your help, Grandpa.""Just don't cause me more trouble in the future." Claude retracted his arm and looked at Jane seriously. "Also, don't mess with Yvonne anymore. Your Grandpa Leonard wants to work with her. If you ruin his plans, I won't be able to protect you."Jane pouted and said unhappily, "I just don't un
The Jewel of Your Love Chapter 1126 How Naive
That afternoon, Yvonne and Stephen left Neil's mansion. Claude and Leonard stood by the balcony, watching as their car left.Claude said, "Jane told me that Yvonne didn't bring up anything about a deal when she bade Neil goodbye. Do you think that Yvonne has already given up?""Do you think that's possible?" Leonard retorted curtly."But … if she didn't bring it up once more before she left, when is she going to have the chance to talk to Neil again?""Do you think it'll be useful for her if she brings it up right now?" Leonard turned and headed back into the room. "She's not stupid. If she brings it up so quickly right after a rejection, she will only irritate Neil even more."Leonard hesitated before saying, "But … why did she not look for me?"Was Yvonne still wary of them? Or was she still insisting on facing Mark alone?If it was the latter, she sure was way too naïve!Leonard's gaze darkened. "We'll have to find time to head to Hope's headquarters. I need to talk to Y

A light breeze blew by in the courtyard. Agatha slowly recounted the past.Back then, Daniel and his wife, Katherine, had just had Mark. 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

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 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. 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.
