Julian brought coffee to Stephen's office. When he saw that Stephen had barely touched his food, he furrowed his brows. Ever since Yvonne had left him, Stephen had been in such a bad mood that it had affected his appetite too.

This was the first time Julian had seen Stephen affected by someone for such a long time in all the years he'd worked for him.

However, Julian didn't dare to do anything reckless. His instincts told him that Stephen and Yvonne's issues weren't that simple. After giving it some thought, he sighed.

"What's the situation of the Jones family right now?" Stephen suddenly asked.

Julian came to his senses and placed the coffee next to Stephen. "Monica's death was a huge blow to Thomas. He's still staying home. Jones Jewels' vice president has taken over the duties at the company. As things stand, Thomas would most probably not go after Mrs. Anderson anymore."

Then, Julian couldn't help but grumble, "I wonder what Thomas is thinking, suspecting her. If Madam had re

    Stephen cast Yvonne an ambiguous look before replying to Elizabeth, "Hmm, I just had something to ask them.""What was so important that you needed to lock them up to ask?" Elizabeth sounded unhappy. "If it weren't for me being unable to reach them, I wouldn't have known that you'd already brought them back. They haven't returned home yet. Where are you locking them up? Stephen, they're your elderly. You're crossing a line here. Listen to me. Let them go.""I'm not going to, for now," Stephen replied unquestionably.Elizabeth was infuriated. "A—are you disrespecting me as well?""I'm only asking you not to interfere in my family's affairs." Stephen looked indifferent. "As long as they give me the answers I want, I'll naturally let them go.""What are you trying to do to them?" Elizabeth was a little anxious and furious at the same time. "Why can't you just live in peace with them as a family? Why can't you have mercy on Conan? He—""Did they ever have any mercy on my mother back

    They remained silent on the journey. They seemed to have an understanding between them; one wasn't going to ask any questions, while the other wasn't going to say anything, yet they could roughly guess what was going on in each other's mind.Stephen's Maybach left the city and came to a villa in a secluded area. When Yvonne opened the car door, she could hear a familiar voice coming from the courtyard. Her heart sank.Stephen went over to her. "Come with me."She saw him unlock the door with his fingerprint. The next second, Conan rushed out and crashed into Stephen."Stephen?" Conan's eyes brightened. "Are you here to take me to see Mom and Dad? They …"Halfway through, Conan noticed Yvonne and trailed off. Soon, as if he realized something, he smiled sincerely at Stephen. "I want to see Mom. Can you take me to her? I've been good recently."Stephen said with a cold gaze, "You don't get to call me by my name.""Why not? I—" Conan saw Stephen's threatening gaze and stopped mid-s

    While Yvonne puked bile, her mind was racing. As expected, when she started to catch her breath, Stephen asked, "Why did you puke?"She composed herself and turned to look at Stephen, looking rather annoyed. "Is it any of your business?"Stephen furrowed his brows without saying anything. "What? Are you still expecting the child to be there?" Yvonne sneered. "It's too late to regret it.""No," Stephen said in a low voice, "I never regret anything that I've done."Somehow, this made Yvonne feel even more sick. "Sure." She turned to look at Conan. "You're a man, yet you're sobbing so much. Don't you feel embarrassed?"Conan had already stopped crying the second Yvonne started puking. When he heard what Yvonne said, he quickly wiped away the tears from his face and looked at her stubbornly. Those watery eyes had the naivety of an idiot, but they were rather adorable.Yvonne felt much better. She looked at Stephen once more. "Next weekend is New Year's Eve. Are you free?" Before Step

    However, Yvonne only smiled at Rachel cheekily, as if saying, "You'll see."Rachel was annoyed. "Vonnie! How dare you tease me like that! You know I desperately want to know!"Yvonne smiled but said nothing. Rachel, on the contrary, started going on and on, saying, "Actually, it'll be good if you two get back together. Stanley told me that without you around, Stephen seemed to have lost his will to live. There's only work in his life. He doesn't even eat well. I heard he's lost a lot of weight. It looked like he was quite serious about you. I am guessing he must have realized that he'd done wrong …"Yvonne thought about how she'd seen Stephen earlier that day. He'd indeed lost weight, and the shape of his face had even gotten more angular. She pursed her lips, suddenly feeling a little upset but unable to explain why."Vonnie, no matter what you do, I'll support you," Rachel said seriously.Yvonne thought for a while before looking at Rachel. "Rachel, Stanley's a good man. You don

    Rachel led Yvonne to the bar. Yvonne only asked for a glass of lemon water.Rachel took a sip of her cocktail and passed it to Yvonne out of habit. "Have a sip. The taste is quite special. It's a new cocktail Euphoria Smith will be releasing soon."Yvonne was just about to refuse when Caleb took the glass. He took a drink and let the liquid swirl in his mouth. "It's alright. The vodka's a little too much."Rachel was instantly infuriated. "Who said you could drink my drink?""What? Are you afraid that I might find your saliva disgusting?" Caleb smiled. "I'm not that fussy; don't worry.""You …" Rachel gritted her teeth, irritated at her brother.Caleb looked at the glass and commented loudly for Stanley, who was next to him, to hear. "He even tells you about things like new drink releases. It looks like he really cares for you."Rachel blushed. She snatched her glass back and grumbled, "Shut up."Stanley, on the contrary, was unfazed by it. "Caleb, don't worry. No matter what h

    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

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.

    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.
