Meanwhile, in Oceania Villa, Stephen was about to leave the house with Britney in his arms when he bumped into Ariel.

Ariel was stunned, and she subconsciously asked, "Are you two going to Miller Villa?"

Stephen furrowed his brows, and his guard went up.

Ariel sensed that she'd misspoken. She quickly added, "I heard that Conan's incident had something to do with Yvonne. I just thought that you'd be looking for her to figure it out."

Stephen didn't buy her explanation. He was silent for a while before responding, "Hmm."

Britney couldn't see the changes in the adults' reactions. She happily said, "Aunt Ariel, we're going to find El!"

Ariel smiled gently. "Is that so?"

Britney nodded and invited her without any hesitation. "Do you want to come along?"

Ariel was a little taken aback. She looked at Stephen. Clearly, he would never agree to her going there. Besides, why would she go with them? To see Stephen showing concern for Yvonne?

Ariel felt bitter, but she smiled and said, "

    Stephen entered and noticed the food and only two sets of cutlery on the dining table. He instantly frowned. "Only you two are eating?" Stephen asked."Yes." Yvonne didn't think too much about it. After all, eating was such a simple matter. She didn't need to explain to him that Curtis and the others had already had their breakfast. Not to mention that the food on the table was a result of Caleb's sudden urge to cook since he hadn't cooked for her for a long time.However, the breakfast did seem a little too much.She asked casually, "Have you and Britney eaten? Do you want to have some together?""Sure," Stephen said. Before Yvonne could react, he was already seated at the dining table.Yvonne was speechless. Was Stephen that hungry?Caleb went over to Yvonne and smiled. "Let's go; didn't you say you wanted to try my cooking?"Stephen's frown deepened. Caleb had made all the food. Cooking for Yvonne was something a little too flirtatious for him.Stephen grabbed Yvonne by

    In his room, Britney was standing behind Elvin, questioning him, "Why are you ignoring me?"Elvin didn't even look at her and continued typing away on his laptop.Britney was unhappy. She pouted and randomly hit the keyboard."What are you doing?" Elvin got angry and shoved Britney away, making her fall to the ground on her butt. She was in so much pain that she hugged her doll and bawled out crying.Soon, Yvonne and Stephen heard her cries. They pushed open the door to see Britney on the floor crying, whereas Elvin was coding."It hurts." Britney sobbed. Seeing Stephen coming toward her, she felt even more aggrieved. "Dad …"Stephen bent down to pick her up. He gently coaxed, "Don't cry. Tell me, what happened?""He …" Britney pointed at Elvin. "He refused to play with me. He even pushed me away …"Hearing what Britney said, Yvonne said sternly, "Elvin, this is no way to treat someone."Elvin replied without looking. "She destroyed the code I was writing."Before this, Elvin

    Elvin became nervous and guilty instantly. "I …""Don't tell me that Britney told you all these things through the watch." Yvonne was extremely calm. She reached out to undo Elvin's watch.Before Elvin could react, Yvonne was already going through his watch. She realized that it was just all messages from Britney with cute emojis and daily questions about what he was doing. There were no messages about what Elvin had just said.Yvonne instantly felt lied to and disappointed. Her son was only five years old, and he already knew how to lie to her. She clenched her fists tightly and enunciated, "Haven't I told you before not to lie to me?""I …" Elvin lowered his head. "I didn't mean to do it.""Why did you lie to me?" Yvonne asked.Seeing that he could no longer maintain the lie, Elvin told Yvonne about the bugging device. Yvonne was furious. "How could you use such a terrible method to invade other people's privacy?""I was only trying to help you …" Elvin looked at Yvonne innoce

    When Britney was asleep, Stephen gently picked up the doll and quietly walked out of the room.He opened the door to his room and turned on the lights. His focus was on the doll, so he didn't notice that Ariel was in his room. When he closed the door, he finally heard Ariel's shy voice. "Stephen, I've waited for you a long time."Stephen looked up suddenly and instantly looked away after one glance. His expression turned ugly. He rebuked her, saying, "What are you doing?"His reaction distinguished Ariel's last ray of hope. She'd made a huge decision to wear a thin, sheer sleeping gown, but Stephen had merely given her one glance and found it despicable.Ariel was disappointed, but she still forced a smile and walked over to Stephen. "Stephen, we're engaged. We're going to do this sooner or later, right?" She had two glasses of red wine in her hand. She'd already drunk some alcohol to muster her courage before this. At that moment, Ariel was a little intoxicated and looked at S

    At that moment, Yvonne sighed inwardly. Luckily, she'd found out about it the night before, so she was at least a little bit prepared.She opened the door and got out of the car. She crossed her arms and asked, "What's this?"Stephen said slowly, "You should ask Elvin. What was he thinking when he put this in Britney's doll?" After he'd chased Ariel away the night before, he'd carefully checked the doll and found the bugging device hidden well inside.Linda had made this doll for Britney herself right after she'd given birth. When Britney was a little older, he'd given the doll to her and told her it was precious, so she should take good care of it.That was why Britney took the doll wherever she went. The doll would be in her bag even when she went to kindergarten.Elvin had obviously hidden the bugging device in the doll to spy on Britney. Stephen didn't know how long it had been since Elvin had planted the device, what he'd heard, or what his intentions were for doing this. H

    Before Yvonne could reply, Noah walked over to the table and sat down on a chair. It was clear that he felt comfortable and didn't consider himself an outsider at all. Hayden noticed Yvonne waving her away and left the office.In an instant, only the two of them were left in the office. "So what's the big business deal you want to talk about, Mr. Noah?" Yvonne asked with interest. Curling up the corner of his lips, Noah replied, "You'll get half of Anderson Group." Then, he calmly added, "Let me make things clear with you today, Ms. Miller. When I said that I wanted to pursue you back then, I was also drawn to your assets as well as your capabilities. I thought if we joined forces, it would be just a matter of time before we snatched Anderson Group from Stephen. However, it seems that I was wrong." He let out a self-deprecating laugh. "It had never occurred to me that you're such a wild person, Ms. Miller. My mother and I were really caught off guard that day." Yvonne narr

    The phone screen showed a foreign transaction of ten million dollars. Noah’s brows raised slightly. "Who gave this money to you?""My dad!" Katie's eyes glittered with excitement. "Before he’d left, my dad told me that he wanted to go abroad to seek a chance for a comeback in his career. It hasn't been that long, and he’s already wired me such a huge amount of money. Do you think he’s made it?"Noah didn't say anything.Katie was extremely pumped up. "I knew my dad could do it. I wonder what he’s doing overseas that he can afford to transfer so much to me at once. Is he doing even better than Jones Jewels?" The money gave Katie a sense of security, as if she had support again. Hence, she couldn't wait to share the happy news with Noah. "Noah, I'll tell you about it once I figure out more about the situation. Maybe I can be of help to you too!" As soon as she finished speaking, a sneer formed on Noah's face. "Judging from Thomas' character, why wouldn’t he tell you about it

    On the other hand, Yvonne was lying on the bed when she received a message from Stephen."What did Noah say to you today?" he asked.At first, she didn't want to reply to him. However, he sent her a series of three question marks after that."He said he wants to give me half of Anderson Group," she replied reluctantly. "You're not interested?" he asked. "Who wouldn’t be interested in money?" she typed back. Regardless, she simply despised Noah's way of doing things. "I can give it to you too," Stephen said.Just as Yvonne was about to criticize Stephen and Noah for being a disgrace to their family, Stephen added, "I'll give it to you after Anderson Group and Miller Jewels merge together. It so happens that Anderson Group doesn't have a jewelry business yet."Yvonne was at a loss for words. "What a great tactic. He doesn't want to suffer any losses," she thought.Afraid that she would get too worked up if she continued to chat with him, Yvonne decisively exited the messagi

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.

    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

    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. 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.
