"I operated on Kendrick. I'm familiar with the scars on his body, but I just didn't pay attention to them in the past. "It wasn't until you asked me to treat his gunshot wound that I realized that no profession in this world would have one end up with gunshot wounds."Yvonne continued, "I initially thought that even if Kendrick isn't in this line of work, he still has something to do with it. "Besides, Kendrick Beck isn't his real name. I kept thinking that he didn't come up with this name randomly. It might have to do with his real name, but I couldn't find out anything."Yvonne paused for a while before saying. "Judging by your reaction now, it seems that my initial guess was wrong."Her back was facing the window. The sunlight seemed to suddenly shine on her brightly, illuminating her smile."Kendrick Beck is indeed not a random name, but it's related to an organization called Beck and Call. Beck and Call has roots in the arms business. Even now, no one knows who the head of

The next morning, under Otto's arrangement, Edith reluctantly got into the car. "Is Yvonne really not going to come and send us off?""Ms. Miller is busy. I told her not to come yesterday." Otto placed his hand on the car door and bent down. He said, "I won't be going back with you today. Something came up, and I have to deal with it. Be good and go home, alright?" Edith furrowed her brows. "Where are you going this time? You're asking me to go home alone. I would rather—""Don't you dare try to stay back," Otto interrupted her. "If you're bored at home, you could play poker with your friends. Or go to exhibitions with Aunt Lexi."All the things that had made Edith happy in the past sounded extremely boring to her at that moment.She sighed. "Forget about it. I'll just head home. I still haven't made the clothes that I promised Yvonne."Seeing her compromise, Otto said nothing more. He turned to instruct the chauffeur to take Edith to the airport safely.Otto stood in the s
The Jewel of Your Love Chapter 1301 Not the Right Time to Die
Stephen's phone was knocked to the ground. The screen instantly turned black.Before Stephen could react, a wet and sticky hand covered his mouth. The person pushed him to the back of the door.The light on the backdoor instantly switched off.The man warned through gritted teeth, "If you want to live, you better be good."In the dark, one's senses were magnified. The blood was all Stephen could smell. He furrowed his brows.Soon, scurried footsteps could be heard outside the door.The man seemed to have perked his ears up to listen to the movements outside. His grip on Stephen loosened.Just when he was distracted, Stephen grabbed him by the wrist and tackled him, pinning him deadly on the wall."You …" The man wanted to curse, but at the thought that the people hunting him down were still outside, he could only glare at Stephen through reddened eyes."If you want me to save you, you better be good." Stephen mimicked what the man had said to him, but in a much colder tone.T
The Jewel of Your Love Chapter 1302 He Could Escape
"You better deal with him quietly. Don't cause me any trouble."Their boss' instructions rang out in the leader's head. The leader furrowed his brows and hesitated for a while. He took two steps toward Stephen.He glared at Stephen and sized him up. "I'll remember your face."Stephen snickered. "What? You don't have the balls to go in and search?"The leader was provoked. He gritted his teeth. He could hardly hold back his anger. He wanted to choke Stephen badly.However, seeing Stephen's attitude, the leader didn't dare to do anything reckless. What if he couldn't find the man but instead caused his boss a huge trouble? He would be finished.At that thought, the leader clenched his fists tightly. He took a step back and warned through gritted teeth. "Don't worry. None of you can escape this."Then, he turned around and ordered his men to leave.Stephen saw them leaving, taking away the smell of blood in the air too. He turned around and headed back.There was no one in the ha
The Jewel of Your Love Chapter 1303 Admit Defeat
A night has passed, and Cory seemed to have vanished into thin air.Kendrick's men had even searched through the trash, but they couldn't find anything at all.While Kendrick was pissed off and lecturing his men, Otto opened the door and interrupted him.Kendrick was a little stunned. He furrowed his brows and asked, "How did you find me?"Otto had a grim expression. He walked over to Kendrick. "Sloan was doing business at the North Docks the day before yesterday. Last night, he went missing. Was this your doing?""Yes," Kendrick admitted openly. He looked at Otto intently. "Is there a problem? So Sloan can cause me trouble, but I can't hit back?""I have no objections to you hitting back, but you can't kill him off in one shot! Now, you're just alarming him!"Otto stopped right in front of Kendrick and grabbed him by his collar. "Now that Sloan is missing, you're out in the open while he's hiding in a corner somewhere. He could find an opportunity and get rid of you at any ti
The Jewel of Your Love Chapter 1304 You Don’t Have the Guts
Kendrick glared at Otto and gritted his teeth. "Fine. Let's scram. I'm not afraid. As long as I'm alive, I'll get him sooner or later!"He kicked the chair in anger. He turned around and no longer looked at Otto.Seeing Kendrick's angry figure, Otto smiled. "Let him be," he mused. At least he would still be alive. Otto turned around to instruct one of the men. "Inform the others who are still on a search to call off the search. Get them to find their own way back.""Okay!"…That night, a group of men surrounded the building Kendrick was staying in. A while later, a man in black came running toward a sport utility vehicle parked by the side of the road. "They're all gone."A man's chuckle came from inside the car. "He ran away so quickly. Since when has he become so smart?"The man in black asked, "Should we go after them?" "No need." The gruff voice coming from the car paused for a while. "Go and check who was having a business meal in North Etoile last night. I'm looking
The Jewel of Your Love Chapter 1305 An Explanation
That night, after Stephen's call with Yvonne, he started to consider if he should take some other illegal routes.However, three days later, before he could do anything, Neil shared some good news with him."It's done! We have a deal!" Neil pushed open the door and walked over to Stephen delightedly. "Mr. Anderson, those two contractors have decided to sign with us. They even agreed to the original price and said that it could even be lowered!"He continued, "They were afraid that we wouldn't believe them. They brought a contract over for us to have a look. They said if there are no problems with it, we can sign it whenever we want!"Then, Neil handed the contracts to Stephen with both hands. "Have a look at it, Mr. Anderson."Stephen furrowed his brows. "Why did they suddenly agree?""I found it strange too, but I went through the contracts in detail. There really isn't any problem. Also, they were really sincere. It was as if …"Neil added hesitantly. "They were afraid we wo
The Jewel of Your Love Chapter 1306 Consider It Paid Off
"We'll come clean."One of the contractors said indignantly, "Actually, we don't want to lower the price for you, but unfortunately for you, someone has your back."As for who that person is, they wouldn't let us tell you. Anyway, you're just lucky. You can do whatever you like here, and no one would dare to disobey you."The other contractor politely pushed the contracts toward Neil. "Mr. Foster, just sign this contract. Don't make things difficult for us. It isn't easy for us as well. "If this deal doesn't go through, we won't be able to stay here anymore."Neil wasn't quick to make a decision. He merely looked at Stephen.Stephen was silent for a while. "So, from what you're saying, that person could make sure our businesses run smoothly here?""Of course, he had already made it known to the people in the mines. "As long as it's a mine that you have your eyes on, they aren't allowed to raise the price. Also, they can't do anything that would harm your company's profits."

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.

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.
