The Jewel of Your Love Chapter 1281 I Won't Go to Heaven
Otto was staying in the presidential suite. As Stephen and Yvonne entered the living area, Otto closed the door. He said in a low voice, "Mr. Anderson, please wait here for a while. Ms. Miller, I would ask you to head to the bedroom."Yvonne asked instinctively, "What is it that can't be said right here?""Someone needs you in the bedroom." Otto went in closer and looked at Stephen. "I'm not sure if Mr. Anderson is allowed to know about some things, so please understand, Ms. Miller.""I see." Yvonne nodded. She turned to look at Stephen. "Wait for me here. I'll be in the room next door. Nothing will happen.""Hmm." Stephen looked at Yvonne as she pushed the door open. He could clearly see her pause a little.Soon, she stepped into the room and closed it. He furrowed his brows. Who was in the bedroom?Otto handed him a glass of water. "Mr. Anderson, don't worry. Nothing will happen to Ms. Miller. Please have some water. You don't have to be nervous."Stephen looked at Otto

"This isn't my first time treating your gunshot wounds. Besides, your injuries almost got you killed the last time."Either way, I'm a doctor. As long as there are injuries that I can treat, I'll have to treat them."Yvonne said without looking up, "Also, you have hidden so many things from me. One extra matter wouldn't make a difference. You can tell me when you feel ready."Kendrick was at a loss for words.Without mentioning her other qualities, the fact that Yvonne could maintain such calm and rationality about a suspicious gunshot was way beyond his expectations.Seeing Kendrick not respond, Yvonne smiled. "Since you never planned on telling me in the first place, why did you ask?"Kendrick felt as if Yvonne could read his mind. It was a first for him, so he felt a little awkward. Then, he looked away and said, "Alright, you can do your thing."Yvonne chuckled. She looked at the wound in detail. She still couldn't help but say, "You're really a tough one."…Half an hou

"I got unlucky. I met unreasonable people."Kendrick muttered, "Once I get better, I'm going to make them pay! How dare they steal three million dollars worth of stock?""Who would be bold enough to steal from you?""They are just a bunch of minions."Otto chuckled. "You've gotten to where you are today, yet someone still dares to mess with you?""My profession is a dangerous one. You better cherish the days you get to see me. Perhaps one day, I'll just drop—""Stop." Otto stopped Kendrick and said curtly, "Watch your words. Don't curse yourself all day."Kendrick laughed nonchalantly. "Don't worry. I'm a tough one. So many years have passed, and I'm still alive and kicking, right? Weren't you asking me why I was near that castle?"Kendrick looked at Otto with a raised eyebrow. "It was a coincidence. I saw the address on the photo of the invitation you sent me. The deal happened to just be nearby."He continued, "Before I left, I thought if anything were to happen to me, I c
The Jewel of Your Love Chapter 1284 I Would Never Touch Your Men
For the next two days, Otto ignored Kendrick. Other than sending meals to him three times a day, he didn't say a single word to Kendrick.They were living under the same roof, yet their relationship was so strained. Kendrick could barely take it anymore.When Otto brought him breakfast that morning, he tried to find a topic to talk about. "Is Yvonne coming to change my dressing today?"Otto responded, "Hmm." He placed Kendrick's breakfast by the nightstand before leaving. Kendrick immediately grabbed him by the wrist."My good brother, I'll apologize, alright?" Kendrick pleaded. "I'm getting nauseous from seeing your glum face all day long. If this continues on, I'll get depressed."Otto shrugged him off. "You're not afraid of death, so why would you be afraid of depression?""You can't put it like that—"Right at this moment, the doorbell rang.Kendrick's eyes brightened. "Is that Yvonne?""I'll go get the door," Otto said, leaving the bedroom.Kendrick was thinking about

Kendrick had no expression on his face. "How did you capture them?""It was a piece of cake. I even helped you interrogate them. They confessed." Mark observed Kendrick's reaction before casually adding, "They were under the orders of Cory Sloan. Apparently, whoever killed you would be rewarded 50 million dollars.""Oh?" Kendrick sneered. "I never thought my life would cost that much.""Cory has crossed the line. Aren't you planning to hit back?" Mark asked with interest."This is my business." Kendrick didn't look at Mark. "Leave them here. I'll handle it."Mark said nothing. He merely observed Kendrick. He seemed a little unhappy.After a while, he broke the silence. "Fine. Since they are my gifts to you, you can do whatever you like with them. "But I'll still have to remind you. No matter what, having an extra friend is always safer than having an extra enemy."Mark's gaze sharpened. "Get well soon."Kendrick's gaze darkened as he watched Mark leave with his men.In

Five minutes later, the doorbell rang once more.Otto thought that Mark had come back. But when he opened the door, he was stunned. He subconsciously asked, "Why are you here?""To change Kendrick's dressing." Yvonne sized Otto up. "Who did you think I was when you opened the door?"Before Otto could answer, Yvonne added, "Mark Miller?"Otto was stunned. "You saw him?""Hmm. What a coincidence. When I arrived at the lobby, I almost bumped into him."Luckily, Yvonne had reacted quickly. She had hid in a corner, so Mark hadn't noticed her. She had guessed that Mark was most likely at the hotel for Kendrick.When she saw Otto's reaction, she got her answer."Why did Mark come looking for Kendrick?""Come in first." Otto turned to the side to let Yvonne in. Then, he closed the door. "Mark brought men for Kendrick.""Men?" Yvonne was confused. She followed Otto to the bedroom and saw those men prostrating themselves on the floor, kowtowing nonstop. They hit their heads hard

After leaving the hotel, Yvonne headed straight to Well Spring Pharma. The moment she entered her office, Rory followed her in."Ms. Miller, Mr. Leech has handed over his duties and sent the HR department his application for a long vacation. He will only return after New Year's." Rory handed the approval letter to Yvonne. "The HR department needs your signature."Yvonne accepted the letter and signed it swiftly."Truth be told, I never thought that Mr. Leech would leave so easily. From the way he had done things in the past, he would have normally tried to stay."Rory looked at the letter and commented, "You're amazing, Ms. Miller."Yvonne chuckled gently. "What did I do? I just gave him a talking-to during the meeting.""No." Rory went in closer and said mysteriously, "Ms. Miller, didn't you privately teach him a lesson too? When he came over to the office to hand over his duties, he was covered in injuries. "He said he had taken a fall, but no one believed him. He had cle

Later, Stephen carried Britney to bed and tucked her in before returning to Yvonne once more.Yvonne had already finished showering. She was standing by the floor-to-ceiling window, overlooking the city's skyline. She didn't notice Stephen approaching her."What are you looking at?" Stephen's voice rang from above her."It's snowing." Yvonne placed her hand on the window as if she were trying to touch a snowflake. "There will be a layer of snow tomorrow. We can take Britney and Elvin to have fun in the snow.""My flight is tomorrow."Yvonne was a little stunned. She felt empty inside. She looked at Stephen's reflection in the window and forced a smile. "I almost forgot that you still need to head back to Neil.""I'll be back by New Year's."Stephen went in closer and placed his hand on the back of Yvonne's hand. He said gently, "By then, the snow will be heavier. It'll be more fun.""Hmm." Yvonne leaned back into Stephen's chest, letting his woody scent and body warmth envelo

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

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.
