Chapter 1291 The Strange Wealthy Woman

"Under normal circumstances, those that come to Hope to do a check-up tend to care a lot about their health, but that woman is just very strange. "She didn't even ask about her health. The moment she sat down, all she did was ask about you."Jim furrowed his brows. "I asked if she knew you or not. She said she doesn't, but she's just really interested in you. "She said she would wait for you to return to Hope. Only then would she come over to stay and recuperate for some time."Yvonne found it odd. "Did you look into her? Who is she?""She's just a wealthy woman. Her information is rather simple. She doesn't seem like an evil person." Jim added seriously, "But don't worry. I didn't tell her much about you. I wanted to wait for you to return and talk to you about this. It's up to you if you want to see her or not.""I see." Yvonne thought for a while. "Let's leave it for now. I don't think it's an emergency. If she really wants to see me, she will come again."Jim nodded. "

Chapter 1292 Yvonne's Mother-In-Law

Seeing Edith put the bracelet down and turn around, Yvonne came to her senses. She yelled, "Mrs. Jenner!""What is it?" Edith turned around. She looked at Yvonne as the latter picked up the bracelet and walked toward her. Yvonne directly stuffed the bracelet into her hand.Edith furrowed her brows. "You don't like it?""This is too expensive. I appreciate the thought, but I can't take this bribe—I mean, bracelet. Hope Health Services is a proper business. As its boss, I shouldn't be a bad example, right?"Yvonne smiled and continued, "Which is why you should take it back. Don't make it difficult for me.""Alright, then." Edith hesitantly took back the bracelet. Although she was a little disappointed that Yvonne hadn't accepted her gift, Yvonne's way of handling the situation impressed her a lot.She left the office and stood by the door for a while. The more she thought of Yvonne, the more she liked her.Her trip will surely not be in vain!She clutched the bracelet tightly a

Chapter 1293 I'll Bring One Back for Him

Half an hour later, Curtis reported what he had seen to Yvonne.Yvonne furrowed her brows. "To me, it seems like that group of women were overthinking."Edith was just standing up for her. How did that make it seem like Edith wanted Yvonne to be her daughter-in-law? Could she not have been purely defending Yvonne?Curtis asked in hesitation, "Do you still want me to keep an eye on Mrs. Jenner?"Yvonne pondered for a while before waving her hands. "Forget about it. You go get busy. I'll find a chance to speak to her.""Okay." Curtis nodded and left the office.…At that same moment, Edith received a call from Alfred, her butler. "Ma'am, where have you been? When will you be returning? The young sir has brought a friend home to stay."Edith was delighted. "Friend? Is it a man or a woman?""A man. He looks rather scary and strange. I don't know—""If that's the case, I'm not going home." Edith interrupted Alfred. "It's one thing that he doesn't bring any women home, but now he

Chapter 1294 Other Arrangements

"If you want to meet her, I can arrange it for you!" Yvonne found it odd that Edith was so delighted. "You seem really eager for me and Ms. Doyle to meet.""No …" Edith subconsciously denied before she corrected herself, "I'm just happy that I could help you out."Under Yvonne's scrutinizing gaze, Edith felt a little sheepish. "I'm serious. I quite like you. I might be a little older than you, but I really want to be friends with you."Edith continued, "The first time I saw you, I immediately noticed how cautious you are. It will be hard for you to believe me in such a short while."She lowered her gaze and put the measuring tape aside. "If I help you meet Lexi, you'll be able to find out more about me from her. Perhaps then you'll let your guard down a little?"Edith was a gentle person to begin with. When she lowered her tone even more, she somehow sounded a little pitiful.In a split instant, Yvonne felt like she was the villain instead. "Mrs. Jenner, I'm not treating you li

Chapter 1295 He'll Thank Me

Yvonne had only mentioned meeting Lexi casually. She hadn't been serious about it. She had never imagined that Edith would be extremely efficient in setting up a meeting. A week later, Edith went to look for Yvonne, saying that Lexi had just finished an exhibition and that she would stop by at Hope on her way. They could have dinner together."It's settled, then." Edith headed out of the office while saying that, not giving Yvonne a chance to say no.Coincidentally, Jim had come over to hand some documents to Yvonne. Jim and Edith nodded and greeted each other.As he watched Edith delightedly walk away, Jim entered the office and asked Yvonne, "Since when have you gotten so close to Mrs. Jenner?""We're not really close." Yvonne smiled helplessly. "I got Curtis to keep an eye on her for a while. Not only were there no problems, but Curtis even told me that she's a nice person."Jim smiled. "I heard about it too. Mrs. Jenner has been singing your praise all day long. There's a

Chapter 1296 Late on the First Meeting

On the day of the gathering, Edith headed over to Yvonne's office early to wait for her to get off work.Yvonne wasn't used to having someone by her side when she worked. She had hinted a few times at Edith.But Edith thought Yvonne was worried about her being tired from sitting on the couch and embroidering for too long."It's fine. I'll sit here and wait. If I feel tired, I'll get up and walk around. I won't disturb you at all."Yvonne could only let her be.Although Edith seemed like she was embroidering, her focus was on Yvonne. She snuck glances at Yvonne from time to time. She really liked how Yvonne was focused on her work.All these years, she had helped her son pick out candidates to be his wife. They were mostly wealthy heiresses who had a good upbringing. They were all graceful and regal.Her best friends had always advised her that picking an obedient heiress like them was the best option. Once they married into the family, they would surely obey their mothers-in-law

Chapter 1297 You’re Not Interested in My Son

Just as the chef was serving his signature dish, a figure appeared right outside the restaurant. Yvonne was captivated by the intricacy of the dish. The wait was worth it.Suddenly, a familiar voice rang out. "What do you mean by this?"Yvonne looked up. She was baffled. "Mr. Carrington, why are you here?""I'm here to pick my mom up." Otto looked at Edith, a little displeased. "What happened to your health? Why did you go to Hope Health Services?" Edith was surprised. "No, wait. A-Answer me this first. Do you know Ms. Miller?""Of course."Edith frowned a little. "Then, why didn't you tell me beforehand? If I knew you knew such an amazing woman, I wouldn't have needed to go through such a huge effort!"Yvonne was a little confused by the situation. She looked at Edith in disbelief. "Mrs. Jenner, you're Mr. Carrington's mother?""Yes!" Edith held Otto's hand and shoved him into the empty seat next to Yvonne. "Since you know each other, everything is much easier. Have a s

Chapter 1298 Innocent Thoughts

The next day, Otto personally brought gifts to Yvonne's office as an apology on his mother's behalf for disturbing her all this while.Yvonne put down her work at hand. She invited Otto to sit on the couch and said with a smile, "I never would have thought that Mrs. Jenner is your mother, much less that she was trying to set me up."After heading home, Yvonne had thought about the incident. She had found it absurd yet interesting. What a coincidence.She looked at Otto and teased him, "Who would have thought that a great man like you would have troubles such as being urged to get married? I'm sure Mrs. Jenner has arranged plenty of blind dates for you, right?""She's just bored at home. She wants a daughter-in-law to keep her company." Otto smiled bitterly and shook his head. "Perhaps she thought she could pass the time by worrying about my marital status."Yvonne chuckled. "This is the sweet burden of a mother's love."Otto was a little depressed. "You're clearly reveling in t

Chapter 1299 A Sly Fox

"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

Chapter 1300 Hope It’s Not Too Late

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
