Chapter 784 My Wife Is Pretty

Author: Bambina Unica
Hearing that, Yvonne turned around and met Stephen's gaze.

Under the dim light in the car, his eyes were particularly bright. It was as if he could see through her.

Yvonne was slightly stunned before she looked away. "Knowing too much won't do you any good. Let's part ways when we reach Guartique Town."

"Are you going there to investigate Mark?" he asked.

Yvonne didn't want to talk about it. She ignored him and leaned against the window with her eyes closed.

Seeing that, Stephen stared at her side profile for a long time. He didn't ask her anything else.

Silence enveloped the car throughout the five-hour journey By the time they arrived at Guartique Town, it was already early in the morning. Everywhere was dark.

They carried the children and headed toward the homestay. Yvonne had booked the entire place for the sake of convenience.

The landlord, Raymond Styles, was waiting in the living room. As soon as he saw Stephen and the rest, he assumed that they were a family of f

    "Jennifer Johnson." Fearing that she would arouse his suspicion, Yvonne added, "She was my mother's friend. I often heard my mom talking about her. I thought of paying her a visit since I'm here." Raymond nodded. "I see. I was wondering how you would know Jennifer considering your age." "Do you know her?" Yvonne sensed a shimmer of hope. "Yes. Everyone in this town knows her." Raymond let out a heavy sigh. "She was a renowned university student here. No one has managed to surpass her record for college entrance exam scores to this day. Unfortunately ... she went missing.""Missing?" Yvonne pretended to be shocked. "What happened? My mom also couldn't reach her. She thought Jennifer had involved herself in something important." "We're not sure either. She has been missing for over 20 years. Her mentally ill mother has never stopped looking for her. That's why everyone here knows Jennifer's name." He continued regretfully, "Jennifer came from a relatively fine family. Howe

    Right after Yvonne finished saying that, the crazy woman surprisingly calmed down.She pushed Yvonne away abruptly and curled herself up once again. "No ... It's impossible for Jennifer to have a son. No ... It can't be ..." The woman shook her head as she spoke, denying it vehemently.Yvonne felt that she had found the right person. "Think about it properly. Has she ever mentioned this to you before? Or anything about dating someone?" "No, no!" The crazy woman went berserk all of a sudden and strangled Yvonne with her hands.Before Yvonne could react, the woman had pinned her to the ground. Her grip on Yvonne's neck tightened. The next second, the madwoman was kicked away. Yvonne immediately sat up and gasped for breath. When the madwoman saw Stephen standing beside Yvonne, she was scared out of her wits. She scrambled to her feet at once and fled the scene in panic. Yvonne tried stopping her, but to no avail. She turned around and shot a glare at Stephen. "She's almos

    After a day of fun, Elvin quickly fell asleep at night. Yvonne tucked him in, turned off the lights, and quietly left the room.Stephen stood under the moonlight, waiting for her by the fence. Upon hearing the noise, he looked over and asked, "Is he asleep?" "Yes." Yvonne approached him and felt a little worried. "Where are you taking me? Is it far? Will it be safe to leave the two children here on their own?""They won't be alone." Stephen gestured for Yvonne to look down. Yvonne followed his line of sight and noticed that there were people dressed in black around the entrance and inside the house. She frowned. "When did you arrange for them to be there?""The night when we arrived at Guartique Town," he replied calmly. "Well, I didn't know what you were going to do. I figured it would be better to bring some men along." Then, he turned around and added, "Let's go.""Where are we going?"Stephen didn't reply to her. Although Yvonne was confused, she still left the hom

    Since the madwoman didn't want to say anything, Yvonne and the rest had no choice but to stay in Guartique Town longer.Fortunately, the kids were more willing to have fun in town than go to school.That day, Yvonne finally received news that the madwoman wanted to meet her.Yvonne and Stephen immediately set off to look for her. The moment they entered and saw the madwoman sitting in the middle of the courtyard, they were stunned. The woman was no longer in a disheveled and crazy state. Last night, she had cleaned herself up and put on fresh clothes. Not only that, but she had also trimmed her messy hair. Although her hairstyle was slightly comical at the moment, she still looked neat. "Have a seat." She pointed at the two wicker chairs beside her. When Yvonne came to her senses, she slowly approached her. "Mrs. Johnson," she said after a moment of hesitation. Karen Johnson curled her lips into an amicable smile. "After years of pretending to be crazy, I've gotten used

    "You're from Miller Jewels?" Karen squeezed out the words through gritted teeth. Yvonne was stunned. She wondered why Karen was being so hostile to her all of a sudden. The next second, Karen stood up abruptly and grabbed Yvonne's arm. She dragged her outside.Seeing that, Stephen caught Karen's shoulder at once and asked in a deep voice, "What's wrong?"Yvonne was also confused. "Weren't we chatting well just now? Why are you suddenly chasing me away?""If I had known that you were from Miller Jewels, I wouldn't even have let you into my house! Get out now! Or else don't blame me for using the broom to drive you out!" Karen reproached her sternly. "Buzz out! You are not welcome here!" Seeing how emotional Karen was, Yvonne could only give in. "Okay. We'll go back, but—""Out!"Karen had no intention of talking to them anymore. Her hand on Yvonne was trembling. She feared that Karen's health might be affected. So she gave Stephen a look, telling him to let Karen go. Step

    The next morning, Yvonne was still asleep when she woke up to a series of knocks on the door. After tending to Elvin by her side, she draped a jacket over her body and opened the door. In her drowsy eyes, she saw the solemn expression on Stephen's face."What's wrong?""Mrs. Johnson is dead."Hearing that, Yvonne was instantly awake. "What?"She grabbed Stephen's arm, her gaze filled with incredulity. "It's impossible. Wasn't she fine yesterday?""Someone went to the river to fish this morning and found Mrs. Johnson's lifeless body. The riverside is now full of police personnel." "How ..." Yvonne found it hard to believe. She put on her jacket properly and stepped out of her room. "I'll go there and have a look!"The weather was gloomy, and even the air carried a sense of oppressiveness. At this moment, the old bridge was crowded with townspeople, and police had already cordoned off the area. It took Yvonne a while to get to the front of the crowd. Standing behind the p

    Once she returned to Northerna City, Yvonne began investigating the records of Jennifer's employment at Miller Jewels. Yet, the HR department found no records of an employee named Jennifer Johnson despite scouring through all the records. It turned out that the HR supervisor reported that Miller Jewels had cleared out a batch of outdated files 20 years ago. Hence, Jennifer's information might have been inadvertently removed as well. Over the course of the past two decades, several batches of employees had worked at Miller Jewels. At this point, it was challenging to find anyone who could remember past employees. With all leads now cut off, Yvonne was frustrated for several days. On Friday morning, Rachel asked her to go to the hospital together. As soon as they met, Rachel noticed Yvonne wasn't in a good mood. "What's wrong? Has work not been going well lately?" Rachel asked. Yvonne shook her head and replied, "No, it's not that. I've been looking into someone, but the le

    Ten minutes later, Rachel received some news that left her dumbfounded. "My goodness, can you believe it? Katie has been taking birth control pills, yet she's planning to conceive. Maybe she should consider having her brain checked rather than her uterus."Yvonne sensed something was amiss. "How come someone who's been taking contraceptives ended up at the hospital because of infertility?"Rachel processed Yvonne's words and asked thoughtfully, "Are you saying ... she didn't take the birth control pills voluntarily?""Yeah." Yvonne recalled Katie's expression when she left. It seemed highly likely that the diagnosis had greatly affected her. Yvonne guessed that Noah had resorted to such despicable measures without Katie's knowledge. He had chosen to slip the pills into her drinks rather than openly confront the issue. It was a choice that would inflict even deeper emotional wounds."Isn't it strange?"The wheels in Rachel's head were turning as she contemplated the issue. "Isn

    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.

    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.
