Yvonne flew overnight to rush back to Hope Health Services. Once her flight had landed and she had gotten a network connection, she received Jim's message.

"We found Jade in the mortuary."

Yvonne's heart tightened painfully. She couldn't bear to imagine how upset Jade must be.

"Wait for me to return," Yvonne replied before quickly heading back.

Jim bent down next to Jade and quietly coaxed her, "Jade, it's cold here. Let's go back."

Jade didn't react. She curled up sitting on the floor with an emotionless expression on her face, hugging her knees tightly.

Jim's heart was broken seeing Jade in this state. Even though he had tried to persuade her for a long time, she still hadn't said a single word.

He would just have to wait for Yvonne to return.

He sat down next to Jade. "Since you won't talk, I'll sit with you."

The mortuary was cold and had a rather eerie silence.

Jim was old, after all. In less than an hour, his bones were aching. He couldn't help but move his legs.

    "Jade." Yvonne held Jade's hand tightly. She choked up. "Listen to me. Howard's only wish was that you would live a good life. This is him giving you life for the second time. As your father, he would surely not wish to see you like this. You have to pull yourself together, do you hear me?"Tears welled up in Yvonne's eyes as she said sincerely, "Don't blame yourself for his death. It's other people's fault. You should hate them, not yourself."Jade was a little bewildered. She spent some time processing Yvonne's words. There was finally life in her eyes once more. "Who was it? Who was the one who killed my father?""You don't have to know this. I—""No, tell me! I must know!" Jade looked determined. "Yvonne, I'm no longer a child. I can't just rely on you. At least … I have to do something for my father."Yvonne furrowed her brows. She hesitated for a while before saying, "A Principal of the Emerald Group, and also Chuck Jensen."Jade was stunned. "Dr. Jensen? How could he …

    Howard's funeral was done simply, according to Jade's instructions.There were only about a dozen attendees on the day of his funeral. They were all his best friends. Their eyes were red with sorrow. No one said anything as they sobbed silently.As they entered the graveyard, the gloomy weather turned into a light drizzle.The moment Howard was laid in the grave, Jade could no longer hold back. She broke down and cried on Yvonne's shoulder.Yvonne hugged Jade and looked at the grave. Her sad gaze gradually turned into a determined one. It was as if Howard was standing in front of her. She looked at him, as if saying, "Howard, don't worry. I'll take good care of Jade. I'll get you justice."As the funeral ended, everyone left.Yvonne received a call from Conan the moment she got in the car. He said in disbelief, "Yvonne, did you see the news online? Chuck died in a car crash!"Yvonne was stunned. "A car crash?""The news said it was an accident. Chuck was speeding on the road

    Chuck's death was a relief to all the women who had once been his victims.Many of them stood up and exposed Chuck for the violent things he had done to them. Everyone condemned Chuck so badly, as if they wanted to lynch him alive."Chuck is a monster! He might have seemed like a good guy, but he secretly tortured women!""Chuck got off easy by dying in a car crash! He should have been tortured to death!""I will not buy any products from Well Spring Pharma from today on."Just like that, everyone boycotted Well Spring Pharma.The next day, when the market opened, Well Spring Pharma's shares took a deep plunge. Seeing this, the company's executives panicked. No one would have thought that trouble would have come knocking on their door one after the other!The situation was so dire that no one dared to talk about Chuck's funeral.Chuck had once been a legend in the medical industry, yet he had ended up being condemned and despised by everyone even after his death.A few days

    Kendrick smiled ambiguously. "Leonard, you've been so sincere. How could I let you down?"Leonard smiled in response, but he secretly grumbled to himself. Kendrick was one tough person to please. First, Kendrick had him get rid of Chuck. Now, he had to give Well Spring Pharma to Yvonne.He suddenly had a thought. He looked at Kendrick with more intent. Had Well Spring Pharma been Kendrick's target right from the beginning?Looking at where things stood at that moment, Yvonne had come out as the winner without any effort!Kendrick seemed to have noticed. He asked, "Why are you looking at me like that?""N-Nothing …" Leonard hesitated. "I was just thinking about how well you're treating Yvonne. She has gotten lucky by saving you."Kendrick cleared his throat. "You're wrong. I was the lucky one to have met her. If not, I wouldn't be sitting right here right now and talking to you."Then, Kendrick raised his glass. "Let's stop talking about her. Let's get back to our business."

    Stephen gently chuckled. He could more or less guess what devious thoughts were running around Yvonne's mind.Leonard and Claude had both invested in Well Spring Pharma. If it ended up in Yvonne's hand, it would be strange if Claude didn't jump at that thought and cut ties with Leonard.Acquiring Well Spring Pharma was equivalent to driving a wedge between Claude and Leonard.Stephen thought about the things that happened recently. He suddenly realized that everything had happened too easily. It was as if someone was behind this, making it all happen. Before he could think more about it, Yvonne's voice pulled him back to reality. "I'm sure you've seen the news recently, right?"Yvonne furrowed her brows and grumbled a little, "Why didn't you check in on me? Were you really that busy?""Hmm. I was busy dealing with Mark."Yvonne was a little stunned. "Did Mark really look for you? Did he cause you any trouble?"Stephen shook his head and smiled. "If he had really done something

    On Saturday evening, Yvonne made her way to the restaurant using the GPS. She drove past the bustling city and into a quiet alley.She made sure three times that she wasn't in the wrong place before driving forward once more until she saw the restaurant's lit-up sign. She mused to herself, wondering if the restaurant had any business given its location.As she turned into the restaurant, she saw the spacious courtyard for cars to park in. The restaurant was brightly lit.She got out of the car and handed her keys to the valet before walking into the restaurant in her high heels.At that moment, she realized that, other than the staff, there wasn't a single customer.The only person who caught her attention was the man making drinks by the bar. He was in a silk shirt with his sleeves rolled up. He looked extremely skilled at making cocktails.He seemed to have noticed Yvonne's gaze. While catching the shaker in mid-air, he looked at her. "Are you Ms. Miller?"Yvonne came to her

    "If you had said it during the call, I would have helped you," Otto chimed in. He looked at Yvonne with a smile. "That's my promise to Kendrick. If anyone receives his black card and makes the call, I grant them a wish."Yvonne was astonished. So he really was a genie!Otto seemed to have read her mind. He smiled even wider. "Yes, you can call me a genie.""Otto's ancestors were aristocrats and generations of businessmen. After the war in their country, they relocated abroad and lived a life of seclusion. He no longer holds any title in his country."Kendrick continued, "But he has wealth most countries would be jealous of. He also has contacts all over the world. That's why there is basically no problem with him doing something that's legal."Yvonne regretted it. "Why didn't you tell me about such a good offer earlier?""I had already told you how to use the card. You're the one who wasted a chance. Why are you blaming me?"Kendrick gave Otto a glance. "He's not very generous

    After Yvonne left, Otto finally came out of a dark corner."Ms. Miller doesn't seem like a person who is easy to fool. She won't trust you so easily."Otto continued, "Why didn't you tell her that you had helped her with Well Spring Pharma? Perhaps it would have helped her trust you more.""I'm just doing what I should do. I'm not asking for any credit. Besides, I don't need trust. I just want to do what I want to do with a clear conscience."Otto smiled. "You haven't changed one bit."Kendrick looked at him. "You neither. You're still annoying."Otto smiled but said nothing.Kendrick suddenly asked, "Judging by the way you treat her, it seems like you have a good impression of her, don't you?""Hmm. She's a smart and courageous woman. It's rare to see someone like her." Otto looked at the door. "I'm a little persuaded.""Only just a little?" Kendrick said more seriously, "I'm telling you, Yvonne can definitely become the only Principal of Emerald Group with my help. If yo

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

    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

    "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

    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.
