The Jewel of Your Love Chapter 171 You're My Golden Ticket
The next morning, Yvonne packed her stuff and got ready to go to work at Miller Jewels after breakfast. "I'll pick you up after work tonight." Yvonne turned to look at Stephen. "Why?"Stephen said plainly, "I have two tickets to a musical, and going alone would be such a bore."Yvonne was momentarily stunned before getting her senses back. Was he trying to ask her out on a date? Not just any date, but a classy, romantic musical date. But she had zero interest in music! Words of rejection were already at the tip of her tongue when she met his firm gaze. He narrowed his eyes slightly and asked, "Do you refuse?" Yvonne was tongue-tied. She sensed danger. Perhaps he wasn't discussing it with her but just informing her. At that point in time, she didn't want to have any misunderstandings with Stephen for fear that he'd get upset and cause new problems. Yvonne composed her emotions and nodded. "Okay, then I'll let you know when I get off work."After leaving Oceania Villa, Yvonne
The Jewel of Your Love Chapter 172 Stephen's Here Too
Stephen had said it very softly, and Yvonne couldn't catch it because she hadn't been paying attention. She asked casually, "What?" "Nothing," said Stephen, and he steered his Maybach into the traffic, ending the conversation. They didn't have time for dinner because the musical started early. Yvonne felt hungry after a whole day at work and wanted to buy some snacks on the way to the musical theater. However, the theater was located on water, and she couldn't spot a single convenience store until they were in the parking lot.One's mind failed to function normally when they were hungry. When Stephen held out his hand, Yvonne went blank until she heard him say, "Hold my hand." Only then did she belatedly put her hand in his. They went inside through the VIP entrance and missed the two people who came in through the ticket collection entrance.Ariel was in a bad mood, and Katie had brought her out to cheer her up. "Hasn't Mr. Anderson returned from his business trip? Have you made u
The Jewel of Your Love Chapter 173 Reconcile
A sudden drumbeat woke Yvonne up. Only when she opened her eyes did she realize that her head was resting on Stephen's lap. She was speechless for a moment. She didn't know when she'd fallen asleep or when she'd moved to sleep in such a scandalous position! Stephen sensed her movements and brushed some loose strands of her hair away from her face. "You're awake?"Yvonne felt slightly embarrassed and sat up hastily. "Why didn't you wake me up?""You were sleeping very soundly." It was also Stephen's first time seeing a woman slide her head from his shoulder to his chest, then onto his lap in her sleep without stirring. How could he bear to wake her up when she was sleeping so peacefully and also so comically? The tender smile in his eyes was shadowed under the dim light.Yvonne licked her lips and said, "Maybe the music's too good." Yvonne had been very smart and had been able to learn anything quickly since she was young, but she just had no talent in music. Not only did she not a
The Jewel of Your Love Chapter 174 Pampering Her a Little Too Much
"Nice to meet you, Mr. Anderson. I'm the director of Rising Sun Group's Northerna headquarters, Peter Bowie.""A pleasure to meet you, Mr. Bowie." Stephen shook Peter's hand and introduced Yvonne at Peter's inquiring look. "This is Yvonne Miller, CEO of Miller Jewels." There was nothing wrong with the way he introduced her, but Yvonne felt an inexplicable sense of displeasure. She gave Stephen a look before nodding at Peter in acknowledgement. Peter smiled back and turned his gaze to Stephen, handing him a business card. "It's an honor for Rising Sun to work with Anderson Group. I've always wanted to find a chance to thank you personally. Would you have the time to give me this honor, Mr. Anderson?"Stephen took the name card and said, "You're being too humble. I would surely make time if you sent me an invitation.""That's great!" Peter laughed jovially and said, "Then let's meet this weekend. My friend owns a turf club. How about we hang out there?" He looked at Yvonne and said,
The Jewel of Your Love Chapter 175 So This Was the Kind of Activity She Liked
"Shut up! Don't bring that up!" Ariel yelled, shocking Katie. The next moment, Ariel realized that she'd lost her composure and apologized hastily. "Katie, I'm sorry. I … I just don't like to hear about what happened in the past." She lowered her gaze and said, "That incident was a very huge blow to me."Katie got her senses back and said, "It's okay; I shouldn't have mentioned it." Katie had heard from Monica that Ariel had conceived Stephen's child. She could understand Ariel's feelings. Ariel had gotten pregnant with Stephen's child, but he'd forced her to abort it. That kind of pain would have been excruciating for any woman. She'd only brought it up by accident. Nevertheless, she hadn't expected Ariel to have such an explosive reaction."I'm feeling a little tired," said Ariel softly. "Katie, thanks for keeping me company for so long today." Katie didn't dwell on it and patted her on the shoulder. "Okay, then I'll get going now. Call me whenever you need me." Ariel nodded an
The Jewel of Your Love Chapter 176 She's up to No Good Again
"What brings you here?" Peter asked as though he knew everything.Katie smiled and said, "I was the one who proposed the idea of Anderson Group's collaboration with Muguet, and you're in charge of entertaining Mr. Anderson today. How could I not tag along?"Peter knew what she meant by that. She could easily bypass him and meet with Mr. Anderson if she really wanted.He smiled, but it didn't reach his eyes. Then he asked, "Are you saying that I've been neglecting you?"Katie waved her hand hurriedly and replied, "Oh, I wouldn't dare!"As they chatted with each other, Stephen and Yvonne finished changing their clothes and came out of the room.Stephen was a good-looking man with a great body. His clothes were fitted to his physique and showed off his beautiful silhouette.Yvonne also looked stunning as she stood beside him. Her neat riding clothes made her look sharp and heroic.Katie's facial expression soured when she saw that Yvonne was also here. She thought, "What is this u
The Jewel of Your Love Chapter 177 Showing Affection At This Time?
Since she'd made a fool out of herself earlier at the racetrack, Katie wanted to redeem herself at dinner.Once they were all seated, the waiters began to bring out the dishes. It seemed like they were all Peter's favorite foods.Naturally, Peter was pleased with it and praised Katie for making the right selections.His praise boosted her confidence, so she raised her glass as a toast to all who were present.The second Stephen raised his glass, he could smell that something wasn't right.He glanced sideways at Katie just in time to see the smugness in her gaze. She knew that Stephen had driven over to the venue, so she was trying to show her consideration for him by swapping his glass of wine for a glass of grape juice. Katie was sure that this kind gesture would definitely win over his heart.However, Stephen held Yvonne's hand—the one she was using to hold her wine glass with—the very next second.Before Katie could react, he swapped glasses with Yvonne.Katie tightened he
The Jewel of Your Love Chapter 178 Careful Who You're Messing With
Dinner ended when Peter got extremely drunk.Katie was very embarrassed and couldn't bring herself to face Stephen, so she used the excuse of taking Peter home to escape from the dining table. She then arranged for the racetrack employees to take Peter away.Yvonne and Stephen were a good distance away from the racetrack, and Yvonne was driving. She could barely keep her hands stable on the steering wheel because she was trying to hold back her laughter whenever she recalled the devastated look on Katie's face.Stephen had consumed a bit of wine during dinner, so he sat in the passenger seat with a hand propped on his forehead. His eyes were half-open as he glanced at Yvonne from the corner of his eyes. His lips were parted slightly in a faint smile.He hadn't expected that this little trick would make Yvonne so happy.Although Stephen had seen many sides of Yvonne, this was the first time he'd seen her like this. As such, he thought it was quite a novel scene.For a moment, Step

Chapter 1678 You Were Their Whole Life
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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Chapter 1670 I Won't Let That Old Hag Off the Hook
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.
