The Jewel of Your Love Chapter 1619 I Won't Cause You Any Trouble
"Uh…" Chelsea realized that she had slipped up. She quickly thought of something."It was that case, but one of my coursemate's internship experience turned out to be better than mine, so the professor gave it to her instead.""How could this happen?" Edith was angry. "They had already agreed to give it to you. How could they just give it to someone else? Your coursemates must have laughed at you!""Yes." Chelsea looked at Edith aggrievedly. "I don't dare tell my mom about this yet. I'm just afraid she will yell at me for being useless. Please don't tell her.""Of course I won't. But…" Edith looked troubled. "You won't be able to lie for too long. When it's time for your graduation, Heidi will definitely find out.""I know, and I've been worrying about that for a long time. But I finally have a solution!"Seeing Chelsea's confident gaze, Edith became curious. "What is it?""I'll learn from you. We can work together with Ms. Miller. This will be a great experience to add to my re
The Jewel of Your Love Chapter 1620 Lose Her Daughter for Nothing
The room was silent for a while. Yvonne suddenly asked, "Don't you think she has an ulterior motive?"Edith was a little perplexed. "What do you mean?""She's here because of you."It was clear that Chelsea wanted to take advantage of Edith, but if Yvonne were to say it explicitly, she would seem like she was maliciously speculating.Thus, Yvonne chose a rather indirect way of saying it. "You are relatives. I'm an outsider, so I might not know much. But Chelsea doesn't look as simple-minded to me."Besides, she's Heidi's daughter. If she were to stay with you, Heidi would be the first one to cause trouble. I'm worried this will affect you too."I know you're just being kind, but you have to be cautious sometimes."Edith furrowed her brows. "Ms. Miller, you're overthinking this. I watched Chelsea grow up. She's been an innocent child since she was young. She isn't a scheming person."As for Heidi, I will keep this from her for the time being. I don't think she'd come to Northern
The Jewel of Your Love Chapter 1621 I Think I Saw Mark
After that day, Chelsea had been following Edith everywhere. Edith smiled much more with Chelsea there to keep her company.During this time, Yvonne had discussed Chelsea with Otto as well. They had the same opinion. As long as Chelsea didn't have any ulterior motives, there was no harm in letting her stay.No matter what, Edith was truly happy, thanks to Chelsea.After the jewelry exhibition, Yvonne had a lot of work to do. She gradually put the Chelsea issue behind her.…That day, she drove to work as usual. Just as she was about to head into the underground parking lot, she saw a figure out of the corner of her eye.She seemed to have sensed the icy air the figure exuded. She instinctively slammed on the brakes and turned around to look.However, the figure had already disappeared.Yvonne was sure that she wasn't hallucinating. She immediately unbuckled her seat belt and got out of the car. She ran to where she'd spotted the figure in her high heels.She was so busy trying
The Jewel of Your Love Chapter 1622 Teaser of His Return
Half an hour later, Stephen got the surveillance footage. He showed it to Yvonne on his phone.Just as Stephen had expected, the footage showed the corner of the wall and captured Mark in plain view.Mark had even deliberately looked at the camera. He was clearly provoking them! Yvonne gritted her teeth. "He's in Northerna City! What's he trying to do?""Since he's been able to move so freely, I'm guessing someone must be helping him cover up his tracks." Stephen put his phone away and added coldly, "Mrs. Carrington Senior has been helping him this whole time. Now that he dares to show up right in front of us, I'm guessing he will soon return to the Carrington family. He showed up here to tease us about his return.""He is really getting more and more cocky! We have to inform Mr. Carrington about this as soon as possible so that he can be prepared."Yvonne was about to return to her car to grab her phone. She had forgotten about the pain in her ankle, and she stumbled forward.
The Jewel of Your Love Chapter 1623 Wasted Your Talents
Right at this moment, someone knocked on the car window.Yvonne jumped and instinctively shoved Stephen aside. She looked out the window to see two security guards trying to look inside the car.Unfortunately for them, the car windows were tinted. The guards could see nothing, so they could only keep knocking on the window.At that moment, Yvonne realized that she'd stopped her car right at the entrance to the underground parking lot. She was blocking other cars from entering. She had to move her car away quickly.She patiently said to Stephen, "I'll go and move the car. Don't come out, okay?" Before Stephen could reply, she opened the car door and got out. Then, she shut the door quickly, slamming it right in Stephen's face.Stephen was a little stunned. Then, he chuckled. They were legally married, yet it felt like they were having an affair.Yvonne roughly explained her situation to the security guard before returning to the driver's seat. Then, she drove the car into the un
The Jewel of Your Love Chapter 1624 Right in Front of You
That night, when Yvonne passed by Elvin's room, she heard Britney's muffled voice coming through the door.She stopped in her tracks.Through the slit in the door, she saw two heads huddled over the laptop, muttering about something among themselves.Seeing that it was bedtime, Yvonne raised her hand and knocked on the door. "You two, it's time for bed."Surprised, the two children jumped up.Elvin shut his laptop right away, while Britney covered it by putting her doll on it. She looked flustered.Yvonne saw Britney's reaction and got suspicious. She pushed the door open and entered. "Are you two up to no good?"Britney shook her head fervently. "Nope!"On the other hand, Elvin was calm. "Nope.""Hmm?" Yvonne swept a glance at the laptop under the doll. "El, show me your laptop."Elvin furrowed his brows and refused coolly, "Mommy, you're invading my privacy.""Well, I'm your guardian. I have the right to do it based on my judgment of your current actions," Yvonne retorted
The Jewel of Your Love Chapter 1625 You Know About This Too
"What?" The children yelled in unison. They were shocked.Elvin was the first one to come to his senses. He asked, "Mommy, you're the one who got married to the evil man?""Hmm. Actually, I wanted to tell you this morning when Stephen came over for breakfast, but something came up and I forgot about it.""You two…" Elvin found it hard to process the news.On the contrary, Britney accepted it right away. "Does that mean you're my mommy already, Aunt Yvonne?"Yvonne was still thinking about it when Britney happily hugged her. "Mommy, Mommy!"Yvonne was stunned. Then, she smiled. She wasn't going to ruin Britney's happiness.Britney suddenly looked at Yvonne seriously. "Mommy, did you marry Dad because you love him?"Yvonne was perplexed. Why was such a little child asking such a deep question?"How should I explain this?" Yvonne cupped Britney's face. "Adult relationships and marriages are complicated. Love isn't the only thing that brings two people together. There are other
The Jewel of Your Love Chapter 1626 He's Here to Deliver Medicine
The next morning, the doorbell at Miller Villa rang.Edith opened the door and saw Stephen standing there. She was stunned for a while before she managed to ask, "Have you taken breakfast?""Yes." Stephen raised a bag in his hand and said in a deep voice, "I'm not here for breakfast. I'm here to deliver medicine.""Medicine?" Edith recalled that Yvonne had been limping when she had returned home the night before. She immediately understood. "You're here to deliver medicine for Ms. Miller? Her ankle was really swollen!"Then, she stepped aside to let Stephen in. "She should come down any moment soon."Chelsea came downstairs. When she saw Stephen, she stopped in her tracks.The sun shone in the living room. On top of his already flawless face, Stephen looked dashing in his suit. All it took was one look to get someone hooked.Chelsea looked at him in a daze. All she could hear was her heart thumping hard. She had seen many good-looking men in her life, but none of them had be

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.
