The Jewel of Your Love Chapter 226 He Wanted to Forget About Those Memories as Well
Why was Curtis there as well?Didn't he hate this mission? Why had he still chosen to approach Conan on his own?Confused by Curtis' appearance, Yvonne secretly followed him out of the school grounds.Curtis suddenly stopped in his tracks after walking a considerable distance. He turned around to look at Yvonne, a cigarette between his lips. "You need to work on your stalking."She flashed him a small smile in return. "Well, you have the chance to teach me now." Then she approached Curtis while sizing him up. "How's your injury?""I'm recovering pretty quickly thanks to your efforts." Curtis turned back to show Yvonne the gauze, which was still taped against the back of his head. "I just need to change the gauze a few more times.""Why did you come all the way here instead of recuperating in bed, then?" Yvonne finally dove into the main topic of the conversation. "Based on the way you made contact with Conan just now, I assume this isn't your first time talking to him, right?""
The Jewel of Your Love Chapter 227 What Do You Want Me to Do
Yvonne received a phone call from Stanley just as she'd gotten into her car."Do you have time, Yvonne? Let's meet and talk."Stanley was undoubtedly approaching her because of Stephen. She didn't dwell on the intention behind the invitation. Instead, she asked Stanley for the address of their meeting place before driving there.Meanwhile, Stanley and James finished their cups of coffee at the coffee shop when Yvonne finally arrived.The latter sat down across from them. "What do you want to talk about?"Stanley ordered a cup of coffee for Yvonne, which was promptly served a few minutes later. Then he started speaking in a relaxed cadence. "Yvonne, you asked Rachel to probe me about Stephen, didn't you?""Yup," she admitted right away.Stanley gazed at Yvonne sincerely. "Can I assume that you care about him?"The latter went silent immediately. It was true that she couldn't refute his words.Having noticed Yvonne's lack of response, James decided to strike while the iron was h
The Jewel of Your Love Chapter 228 The Formidable Young Woman
Stephen's flight was set for that afternoon. By the time it touched down at the airport, it was already the next morning.It was then that Julian received the latest news from the host organization, prompting him to report the changes to Stephen right away. "A representative from the host organization just informed me that something urgent happened, so they had to delay the date and change the venue as well.""Did they tell you the reason?" Stephen asked."No." Julian shook his head in response. "They've arranged for us to stay at a hotel. A welcome banquet will be held at Professor McKinnon's manor three days later."Stephen left the airport and raised his head to look at the azure sky. Despite the bright sunlight, his eyes were still shrouded in darkness.He'd asked Julian to give the flight ticket to Stanley. He'd asked his friends to convey all the things he wanted to say to Yvonne. Yet she'd chosen not to come with him in the end.That woman was seriously testing his limits.
The Jewel of Your Love Chapter 229 All's Fair in Love and War
Stephen and Julian were set to stay in a fancy hotel as per the host organization's arrangements.As they were going through the check-in procedures at the front desk, a sickly, pale hand snaked past Stephen and landed lightly on the countertop, passing an ID to the desk agent.Stephen shot a glance to his side before knitting his brows together into a frown.Was that Caleb Turner?Why had the heir of Turner Tech, who'd disappeared for one full year, suddenly reappeared in the lobby of this particular hotel?Caleb's lips curled into a smirk upon sensing Stephen's gaze. He said seriously, "If you keep glancing at me like that, I might think that you've set your sights on me."Naturally, Stephen was left speechless. His eyes hardened immediately; Caleb was just as irritating as before.Caleb tilted his body heavily to one side before leaning against the front desk, a hint of a smile sparkling in his enchanting eyes. Surprisingly, those eyes were capable of seducing any poor soul w
The Jewel of Your Love Chapter 230 Why Did He Look So Familiar
Three days passed by in a flash.The welcome banquet was held at Professor McKinnon's manor. Many experts and specialists in the technological industry, as well as elite businessmen, flew from various countries scattered across the globe just to attend it.The McKinnons were already in their twilight years and preferred a quiet setting to a boisterous one, so the highlight of the banquet happened to be the grand assortment of pastries and wine. Violinists played soothing classical music in the background, relieving the guests' stress while they engaged in discussions and debates on various topics.The banquet had already started by the time Stephen and Julian arrived at the manor. Stephen didn't plan to stay for long, so he and Julian walked over to Professor McKinnon right away.Meanwhile, Noah was already with the professor. He got up to his feet and welcomed his cousin smilingly when he noticed Stephen entering the room. "Hey there, Stephen. Professor McKinnon and I were just ta

"It's Caleb, Rachel's older brother! Holy shit! Why's he here as well?" Yvonne thought.It was a strange coincidence for her to bump into two clients on the same day. The elderly madam of the manor was one of her patients, while Caleb was the other.Two years ago, he'd been diagnosed with a brain tumor and had fallen into a coma after going through surgery. Yvonne had been the one who'd dragged Caleb out of the abyss.After the treatment, she'd heard Rachel mention that her older brother was recovering well, but she'd never have expected to see him here.Yvonne had been a member of Emerald Group for so many years, but this was the first time she truly felt like her identity was on the brink of being exposed.She squeezed out the most natural smile she could muster. "Hello. Who are you?"The combination of the scar etched onto her delicate face and her ugly smile should be able to scare away most of the men who tried to flirt with her. However, Caleb was still a gentleman, so his
The Jewel of Your Love Chapter 232 Who's Her Family Member
"Simone is a celebrity who works with Johnson Talent Agency. She occasionally attends banquets with Noah," Julian replied casually.He couldn't help but chuckle when he noticed the look of surprise on Yvonne's face. "What's there to be shocked about? If anyone from the entertainment industry wants to attend banquets of this importance, they'll need to come up with various ways to get their hands on an invitation. This is a perfect chance for them to make connections with the upper echelon of society, after all. Besides, they get to earn quick bucks on the side, so attending such banquets will only bring them benefits."Julian then turned to look at Simone. "Women like Simone who only have the looks yet lack an influential background are especially desperate to get in. If they hadn't found themselves a sugar daddy, they would've gotten kicked out of the industry a long time ago."Everyone knew very well what Noah and Simone's relationship was like, but they never uttered a word about
The Jewel of Your Love Chapter 233 I Prefer Compliant Women
Soon, a housekeeper led Mrs. McKinnon, who was sitting in a wheelchair, toward the pavilion.Professor McKinnon got to his feet immediately, a worried look on his face. He quickly took over the duty of pushing the wheelchair and even bent down to cover Mrs. McKinnon's lap with the blanket properly.After that, he berated her softly, "Why did you come here? Didn't I tell you to rest in bed?""How can I just stay in bed when there are guests for me to greet?" Mrs. McKinnon was still very weak, seeing as she'd just started to recover from her illness. She didn't have enough energy to speak loudly, hence her breathy tone.However, her cheeks were a healthy shade of pink. She looked much better, to say the least.Upon making that observation, Yvonne couldn't help but feel weird. Still, she didn't dare ask any questions in fear that she might expose her identity.After Professor McKinnon pushed Mrs. McKinnon's wheelchair to the spot next to his seat, he poured her a glass of warm water

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.

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

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.
