Otto had just entered Carrington Mansion when he heard laughter coming from the living room. He stopped in his tracks.

Agatha noticed him. She smiled and said to him, "Otto, what are you still standing there for? The Fergusons are here to see you. Come and say hello to them."

Otto furrowed his brows. He had a bad feeling about this.

After some hesitation, he headed over and greeted everyone in the living room.

"I haven't seen Otto for a long time. He looks even more mature already, unlike our Ella. She's already 20-something years old, yet she's still like a little kid."

Virginia Holt, Ella's mother, looked at Otto with praise in her eyes. "Otto, please forgive Ella if she has ever caused you trouble. We spoil her too much. She was born with a silver spoon in her mouth and never suffered. We tried to give her the best of everything."

Ella's father, Samuel Ferguson, also chimed in, "Which is why Ella has the highest standards. She has seen so many wealthy boys, but she only likes

    When Leonard received the location and time for the deal, he almost jumped from his chair.Jane curiously went closer to him. "Grandpa Leonard, what is it?"Leonard clutched his phone tightly. "The time and place of the deal have been finally set!" He had been waiting for this for so long that he had almost lost his patience.Jane smiled as well. "That's great news. There hasn't been any news since the last time you spoke to me about it. I thought something had happened."Jane hooked her arm around Leonard's. "Grandpa Leonard, you won't go back on your word, right? Is what you said last time still true?""Yes," Leonard replied with a smile.

I can't embarrass him," Jane said seriously.Then, she looked at Leonard. "Grandpa Leonard, once this matter is over, wi

    That night, Curtis successfully managed to get the details of the deal from those few men without exposing his identity.He said smugly to Gwen, "How's that? I did well, right?"Gwen looked at the piece of paper that Curtis handed her. She hummed in response without looking up. Then, she kept the piece of paper in her pocket.Curtis was confused. "Are we not going to report it to Yvonne?""I'll find a time to tell her. Let me handle this."Seeing Gwen about to leave, Curtis immediately grabbed her wrist.

You—"Before he could finish his sentence, Gwen shrugged him off and said coldly, "I've told you from the beginning not to follow me or stop me. There are things that I plan to do on my own.

Curtis is heading straight to where the deal is taking place to look for her."Halfway through, Yvonne realized she had said something she should have said.

    The next day, when Leonard was about to leave, a subordinate hurried over to him and whispered in his ear.Leonard immediately looked alarmed. Before he could say anything, he noticed Jane walking over to him. He gritted his teeth and warned his subordinate, "Do not let word of this get out. Wait for me to return and deal with it."Then, Leonard smiled. He had changed expressions so quickly that even his subordinate was a little taken aback.Leonard pushed him away and went over to Jane. "Have you packed?"Jane nodded. "Yes. I can leave any moment!""You have to promise me one thing. Don't go anywhere alone. Don't leave my sight. You hear me?""Yes!"

    She had received a photo. It showed that Gwen had been kidnapped. The person who had sent her the photo was none other than Mark!Yvonne's mind blanked. She turned to look at Stephen and asked stiffly, "W-What happened?""I received the same message too." Stephen grabbed her phone gently, trying to block the photo from her sight. Yvonne tugged her phone back hard and stumbled a few steps backward.Her face paled a little. "What's Mark trying to do? Is it because Gwen headed to the place where the deal was taking place?"Her mind was in a mess.

She had bloody scars on her wrist from her attempts to break free.Blood has seeped into the rope, dying it black.Suddenly, the door to the room opened.

"You've been with me for such a long time. I really can't bear to do anything to you."Gwen snickered. "You're crueler than anyone on this planet. You can stop with the pleasantries.

    As night came, all the lights turned on. The bar that was tucked away in the middle of the city seemed very out of place with the bustling city.Suddenly, a shrill voice rang out from the door. "Are you nuts? What time is it now? Why are you still not open?"The bodyguard stopped Jane. "I'm sorry, miss. We only open at midnight. You either wait or look for another bar!"Jane snickered. "Are you trying to chase away potential customers? Everyone wants business. I can pay double! Open right now and let me in!""No." The bodyguard refused once more. "This isn't a matter of money. It's the rule.""You …" Jane had gotten bored of sticking with Leonard. She had thought of coming out to have some fun to soothe her nerves.On the way there, she had passed by many exotic bars.

    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.

    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.

    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.

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.
