The Jewel of Your Love Chapter 1290 No Longer Ours
That day, Yvonne had a lot of fun with Britney in the snow, which somehow made her forget about Elvin's inexplicable hostility toward Otto.Later, no one brought Otto up again.…Yvonne was at Well Spring Pharma for a week before taking the children back to Hope Health Services.She had just left when a few executives went looking for Anthony."Mr. Leech, that woman has finally left. When are you planning to return?""Yes, Mr. Leech, are you really only returning after New Year's? I'm just worried someone might take over your position and that Ms. Miller won't want you back."Anthony's mind buzzed with all their comments."Just be quiet." He raised his hand to stop everyone from talking. "I've already applied for a long holiday. If I return now, people will talk."He continued, "One thing we have to be clear about is that Well Spring Pharma is no longer ours. When I'm not around, all of you have to be careful."The crowd interjected angrily when they heard what he said."W
The Jewel of Your Love Chapter 1291 The Strange Wealthy Woman
"Under normal circumstances, those that come to Hope to do a check-up tend to care a lot about their health, but that woman is just very strange. "She didn't even ask about her health. The moment she sat down, all she did was ask about you."Jim furrowed his brows. "I asked if she knew you or not. She said she doesn't, but she's just really interested in you. "She said she would wait for you to return to Hope. Only then would she come over to stay and recuperate for some time."Yvonne found it odd. "Did you look into her? Who is she?""She's just a wealthy woman. Her information is rather simple. She doesn't seem like an evil person." Jim added seriously, "But don't worry. I didn't tell her much about you. I wanted to wait for you to return and talk to you about this. It's up to you if you want to see her or not.""I see." Yvonne thought for a while. "Let's leave it for now. I don't think it's an emergency. If she really wants to see me, she will come again."Jim nodded. "
The Jewel of Your Love Chapter 1292 Yvonne's Mother-In-Law
Seeing Edith put the bracelet down and turn around, Yvonne came to her senses. She yelled, "Mrs. Jenner!""What is it?" Edith turned around. She looked at Yvonne as the latter picked up the bracelet and walked toward her. Yvonne directly stuffed the bracelet into her hand.Edith furrowed her brows. "You don't like it?""This is too expensive. I appreciate the thought, but I can't take this bribe—I mean, bracelet. Hope Health Services is a proper business. As its boss, I shouldn't be a bad example, right?"Yvonne smiled and continued, "Which is why you should take it back. Don't make it difficult for me.""Alright, then." Edith hesitantly took back the bracelet. Although she was a little disappointed that Yvonne hadn't accepted her gift, Yvonne's way of handling the situation impressed her a lot.She left the office and stood by the door for a while. The more she thought of Yvonne, the more she liked her.Her trip will surely not be in vain!She clutched the bracelet tightly a
The Jewel of Your Love Chapter 1293 I'll Bring One Back for Him
Half an hour later, Curtis reported what he had seen to Yvonne.Yvonne furrowed her brows. "To me, it seems like that group of women were overthinking."Edith was just standing up for her. How did that make it seem like Edith wanted Yvonne to be her daughter-in-law? Could she not have been purely defending Yvonne?Curtis asked in hesitation, "Do you still want me to keep an eye on Mrs. Jenner?"Yvonne pondered for a while before waving her hands. "Forget about it. You go get busy. I'll find a chance to speak to her.""Okay." Curtis nodded and left the office.…At that same moment, Edith received a call from Alfred, her butler. "Ma'am, where have you been? When will you be returning? The young sir has brought a friend home to stay."Edith was delighted. "Friend? Is it a man or a woman?""A man. He looks rather scary and strange. I don't know—""If that's the case, I'm not going home." Edith interrupted Alfred. "It's one thing that he doesn't bring any women home, but now he
The Jewel of Your Love Chapter 1294 Other Arrangements
"If you want to meet her, I can arrange it for you!" Yvonne found it odd that Edith was so delighted. "You seem really eager for me and Ms. Doyle to meet.""No …" Edith subconsciously denied before she corrected herself, "I'm just happy that I could help you out."Under Yvonne's scrutinizing gaze, Edith felt a little sheepish. "I'm serious. I quite like you. I might be a little older than you, but I really want to be friends with you."Edith continued, "The first time I saw you, I immediately noticed how cautious you are. It will be hard for you to believe me in such a short while."She lowered her gaze and put the measuring tape aside. "If I help you meet Lexi, you'll be able to find out more about me from her. Perhaps then you'll let your guard down a little?"Edith was a gentle person to begin with. When she lowered her tone even more, she somehow sounded a little pitiful.In a split instant, Yvonne felt like she was the villain instead. "Mrs. Jenner, I'm not treating you li
The Jewel of Your Love Chapter 1295 He'll Thank Me
Yvonne had only mentioned meeting Lexi casually. She hadn't been serious about it. She had never imagined that Edith would be extremely efficient in setting up a meeting. A week later, Edith went to look for Yvonne, saying that Lexi had just finished an exhibition and that she would stop by at Hope on her way. They could have dinner together."It's settled, then." Edith headed out of the office while saying that, not giving Yvonne a chance to say no.Coincidentally, Jim had come over to hand some documents to Yvonne. Jim and Edith nodded and greeted each other.As he watched Edith delightedly walk away, Jim entered the office and asked Yvonne, "Since when have you gotten so close to Mrs. Jenner?""We're not really close." Yvonne smiled helplessly. "I got Curtis to keep an eye on her for a while. Not only were there no problems, but Curtis even told me that she's a nice person."Jim smiled. "I heard about it too. Mrs. Jenner has been singing your praise all day long. There's a
The Jewel of Your Love Chapter 1296 Late on the First Meeting
On the day of the gathering, Edith headed over to Yvonne's office early to wait for her to get off work.Yvonne wasn't used to having someone by her side when she worked. She had hinted a few times at Edith.But Edith thought Yvonne was worried about her being tired from sitting on the couch and embroidering for too long."It's fine. I'll sit here and wait. If I feel tired, I'll get up and walk around. I won't disturb you at all."Yvonne could only let her be.Although Edith seemed like she was embroidering, her focus was on Yvonne. She snuck glances at Yvonne from time to time. She really liked how Yvonne was focused on her work.All these years, she had helped her son pick out candidates to be his wife. They were mostly wealthy heiresses who had a good upbringing. They were all graceful and regal.Her best friends had always advised her that picking an obedient heiress like them was the best option. Once they married into the family, they would surely obey their mothers-in-law
The Jewel of Your Love Chapter 1297 You’re Not Interested in My Son
Just as the chef was serving his signature dish, a figure appeared right outside the restaurant. Yvonne was captivated by the intricacy of the dish. The wait was worth it.Suddenly, a familiar voice rang out. "What do you mean by this?"Yvonne looked up. She was baffled. "Mr. Carrington, why are you here?""I'm here to pick my mom up." Otto looked at Edith, a little displeased. "What happened to your health? Why did you go to Hope Health Services?" Edith was surprised. "No, wait. A-Answer me this first. Do you know Ms. Miller?""Of course."Edith frowned a little. "Then, why didn't you tell me beforehand? If I knew you knew such an amazing woman, I wouldn't have needed to go through such a huge effort!"Yvonne was a little confused by the situation. She looked at Edith in disbelief. "Mrs. Jenner, you're Mr. Carrington's mother?""Yes!" Edith held Otto's hand and shoved him into the empty seat next to Yvonne. "Since you know each other, everything is much easier. Have a s

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

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.
