All Chapters of The Jewel of Your Love: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

The room became pin-drop silent as everyone gawked at Yvonne's ruined flesh, shocked."Until now, Mr. Jones has yet to give me an explanation." Yvonne gave Thomas a calm yet chilling look. "Besides, I never went overseas to study. I've been living in the countryside for the past 12 years. In fact—""Enough!" Thomas roared, effectively cutting Yvonne off. He seethed through gritted teeth. "Do you really want to embarrass our family in front of everyone here?""Our family?" Yvonne shook her head, smiling. "The Joneses are your family. You and I stopped being family a long time ago." She turned to look at the rest of the people in the room. "As all of you can see, I'm a rude, uncultured person, and not the refined lady Mr. Jones told you about."With just a few words, the story Thomas had carefully fabricated for the past 12 years came crumbling down. "However, I am a Miller, so I'm the only one who sincerely hopes that Miller Jewels stays strong. Oh, right. Another thing you should know

Stephen withdrew his hand without batting an eyelid. "There's a mosquito in the room. I was trying to get rid of it."Yvonne looked at him silently. How could a blind man catch a mosquito? Nonetheless, she gave up and got up to open the door.Camille was standing outside, looking upset. "Yvonne, Mother's looking for you. She's furious, so play nice and don't make her angrier."Yvonne was confused. Why was Grandma angry again?Camille reminded her softly, "It's about Miller Jewels."Understanding immediately dawned on Yvonne. Elizabeth's intel was surprisingly fast; she must've ordered someone to keep an eye on Yvonne."Alright. I'll be out in a second." Yvonne asked Camille to go ahead and turned around to let Stephen know, but he was already standing behind her."I'm coming with you.""There's no—" Yvonne paused when she realized that she wouldn't get scolded too harshly if he were around.In the living room, Elizabeth was complaining to Hazel about Yvonne. "There have been so many is

As they drove away from Anderson Mansion, Yvonne turned around to face forward. Stephen already had both eyes closed and was resting. She gave up grilling him for answers and began rummaging through the bag Camille had given her, pulling out ten pouches of medication. Opening one of them, she pinched some of its contents and brought it to her nose. Sniffing, she realized it contained finely ground aconite, which would have normally been difficult for anyone to notice. This time, it seemed to have more aconite than before. Yvonne frowned. Camille must have devised a plan after hearing that Stephen was moving out.If Stephen were to die in his private villa, Camille would be able to frame Yvonne, making her the perfect scapegoat.Yvonne clicked her tongue in disapproval. She was equally unlucky to have a mother-in-law like Camille.She closed the pouch and patted Julian's shoulder. "Find a garbage can for me up ahead. I need to get rid of some trash."Julian nodded and pulled over. Whe

The next morning, Stephen was in the middle of having breakfast when Yvonne went downstairs after getting dressed.Tabitha greeted her warmly. "You're up early too, Madam! Come have breakfast.""Sure, I'll just have something light." Yvonne sat across from Stephen. He was wearing his earphones, so she sat quietly without interrupting him."Don't you know how to greet people in the morning?" Stephen asked unhappily, without lifting his head.Yvonne stared at him dumbly. Did he really think he was a king? Conscious of Tabitha's presence, Yvonne explained with a smile. "I didn't want to bother you.""You're listening to financial news with your earphones. Why would she bother you?" Tabitha pushed a glass of warm milk into Yvonne's hand and admonished Stephen. "Can't you greet her first instead?"Stephen frowned. How did Yvonne win Tabitha over in just one night?Seeing Stephen dejected made Yvonne grin. "Mrs. Lopez, don't blame Stephen. I'll make sure to greet him first from now on.""Don

"I know what you're worried about. Don't worry, I won't ask our organization for help unless I'm really in a pinch." Yvonne stared out the floor-to-ceiling windows. "Gwen, we've known each other for a long time, and I think of you as my own sister. You of all people should understand why I had to take Miller Jewels back."The other end of the call was silent. Eventually, Gwen gave in reluctantly and sighed. "Fine. I'll look into it." Suddenly, she remembered something. "That madam's got people looking for you again. Are you sure you don't want to take the job?"Yvonne hummed. "I don't have the time right now. Besides, she's too weird. How am I supposed to accept the job if she doesn't give me any information?"The "madam" they were talking about was a mysterious woman. She really couldn't blame Yvonne for declining her request if she lacked even the most basic faith in Yvonne. After all, she had specifically asked for Yvonne to do a job for her but had yet to provide any information.A
