The Jewel of Your Love Chapter 1229 Did Yvonne Make You Do It
Yvonne spent the entire afternoon roughly getting to know Well Spring Pharma's current operations with the help of the executives.At the end of the day, Yvonne got in the car and finally shed her new boss persona. She rubbed her ankles, gritting her teeth in pain."I'm really sacrificing too much just to show power. I've been walking around in heels for hours. This is torture!""Do you need a massage?" Stephen asked thoughtfully.Yvonne happily accepted it. She kicked off her heels and put her feet on Stephen's lap before leaning back.Stephen's warm palms rubbed against her calve. Every squeeze he made was just right.Yvonne's heart only beat faster for a while before she was completely immersed in his pleasurable massage.She squinted her eyes a little. "Luckily, you were there today. If not, everyone in the meeting room would have run off."At first, Stephen had been sitting outside the meeting room. When he had seen people coming out, he had gotten up and entered.When th
The Jewel of Your Love Chapter 1230 Why Didn't You Tell Me Earlier
Leonard's heart sank, yet he pretended to feign ignorance. "What are you talking about? Wasn't Chuck's death an accident?""If it hadn't been for your men chasing after him, how would he have gotten himself in an accident?"Claude was so furious that he snorted. "Leonard, I'm here confronting you about it, so surely I've looked into it. You can drop the act. We've been friends for so many years. Can't I just get an honest answer from you?"Claude went in closer and looked Leonard in the eyes intently. "Tell me. Are you really working with Yvonne?"Leonard was silent for a while. He said slowly, "I'll explain Chuck's incident to you. You have the right to know.""I just want to know right now whether you—""Chuck set Jane up."That shut Claude's mouth up immediately. His eyes widened. "What do you mean?""Yvonne sent me an email before, exposing Chuck's true colors. He had been stirring the pot, inciting Howard to seek revenge on Jane. He was also the one who told Mark about h

Claude was perplexed. "What do you mean?""Don't you see?" Leonard rolled his eyes. "When you barged in here and tried to come after me, you were doing exactly what Mark wanted."Claude came to a realization. "Are you saying … Mark's real purpose is to see us turn on each other?""That's right." Leonard sighed. "Luckily, you were willing to let me explain. If not, Mark would have gotten what he wanted."Claude felt guilty. "I was too impulsive. If Mark ever seeks me out again, I'll let you know.""Hmm." Leonard got up and headed over to Claude. He said seriously, "You have to trust me. We have been friends for years. I would never harm you.""I know." Claude looked at Leonard, his eyes filled with trust."If you were someone who wanted to harm me, would we have been friends for so long? I was wrong this time. I'll send you a good bottle of wine as an apology."Leonard chuckled happily. "Sure! I want the oldest bottle in your wine cellar.""This is a robbery!" Claude laug
The Jewel of Your Love Chapter 1232 Keep That in Mind
"What? So Mark can take advantage of me, but I can't take advantage of him?"Yvonne leaned back and smiled. "Since he’s trying to make Leonard and Claude turn against each other, I'll go along with the flow."Stephen soon understood what Yvonne meant. He smiled. "After being by your side for so long, I finally understand that saying."Yvonne raised an eyebrow. "What saying?""Don't ever offend a woman. You'll die a terrible death." Stephen added seriously, "That was something James often said."Yvonne was amused. She leaned in closer, lifted Stephen's chin, and smiled. "From today onward, you have to keep that in mind."Stephen grabbed her hand and smiled back dotingly. "I will."…In the following week, Yvonne was at Well Spring Pharma’s office all day long. She only returned to the hotel to sleep. Only after she had taken over Well Spring Pharma did she realize how vast the difference between Well Spring Pharma and Hope Health Services was.So she naturally needed more

Otto met Yvonne's gaze and smiled. "Ms. Miller, we meet again."Rory turned to look at Yvonne. "Is he really your friend?"Yvonne didn't reply to Rory. She merely looked at Otto and asked, "What are you doing here?""Of course, I'm looking for you." Otto went past Rory and walked over to Yvonne. "Why does it seem like I'm not welcome here?"Yvonne gave Rory a look, signaling for him to leave the room. Once the door was closed, she looked at Otto once more and said calmly, "It's not that you're not welcome here. I just don't like people showing up uninvited."Otto nodded understandingly. "It was indeed a little rude of me to come over just like that. I'll inform you in the future."Then, he took his phone and tapped on it for a while. Soon, Yvonne's phone rang.Otto smiled. "This is my personal phone number. It's different from the one you used to contact me with before. You can save it, in case the next time I look for you, you think I'm a scam caller."It seemed like he want
The Jewel of Your Love Chapter 1234 How Rare It Is for Me to Say Yes
Otto slowly said, "Well Spring Pharma needs a way back to return to the eyes of the public. Have you already thought of a way?"Yvonne reacted quickly. She was elated. "Are you saying that Carrington and Hertz is willing to provide such an opportunity for Well Spring Pharma?"Otto calmly responded, "Hmm. It's just a coincidence that Carrington and Hertz needs to purchase a bulk of drugs and medical equipment. I plan to buy from Well Spring Pharma. I'm sure I don't need to teach you how to make this splashing news, right?""No, of course not. I'll donate the medicine and equipment directly to Carrington and Hertz. In the future, if you need anything else, just let me know, and I'll support you fully."Yvonne's troubles for the past few days vanished immediately, and a cheerful smile overtook her features.She was grateful for the help. "Mr. Carrington, thank you so much! You have helped me solve a huge problem!"Otto smiled. "You're the one making the donation. I should be thankin

At the restaurant, Otto chivalrously pulled out a chair for Yvonne.Yvonne looked at Otto as he took a seat opposite her. She asked curiously, "How did you and Kendrick become friends?""It's a long story. I met him on the battlefield. Back then, I went to a war-torn country to assist with medical relief, and he was there to—" Otto corrected himself in time and said, "To do some business."He continued, "The team I was leading was in a considerably safe place. No one expected that we would be ambushed one night. Kendrick was passing by, and he rescued us."Thinking back to the situation back then, Otto couldn't help but find it rather amusing. At that time, he had been so prejudiced against Kendrick and had even refused to accept Kendrick's help. In the end, Kendrick had knocked him out with his gun and taken him away.When he had finally come around, Kendrick had been sitting by his side, polishing his gun. The latter had even said coldly, "You might not weigh too much, but y
The Jewel of Your Love Chapter 1236 I Know My Woman Well
Yvonne and Otto were chatting away happily when they suddenly sensed a chilly air around them.Yvonne looked up to see Stephen's grim expression. She was just about to greet him when he walked up to her and took a seat next to her. He crossed his legs and looked at Otto domineeringly."Hello. I'm Stephen Anderson."Otto was clearly shocked by Stephen's arrogance. He was in a daze before his face finally broke out into a smile. "Hello. Otto Carrington.""Hmm?" Stephen raised an eyebrow. "What business are you in, Mr. Carrington? This is the first I've heard of you."Otto replied politely, "Just small businesses. It's normal that you've never heard of me."Stephen cleared his throat. "Mr. Carrington, you're being too modest. I know my woman well. She never goes for small businesses, nor forgets our date because of them."Yvonne was baffled.In an attempt to prevent the atmosphere from getting more awkward, she smiled and said, "Mr. Carrington is here on behalf of Carrington and

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
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 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
The Jewel of Your Love Chapter 1672 I'm The Woman Stephen Married
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.
