The Jewel of Your Love Chapter 41 Stephen, You Win!
Meanwhile, Xavier stood on the steps of the restaurant, watching the Maybach drive out of sight. If he wasn’t mistaken, the figure sitting in the back seat was Stephen. What a surprise! Stephen had finally left the mansion, and more importantly, it was to pick up an ugly woman. If word of this got out, it would be the most sensational scandal in Northerna City. Yvonne’s last words before she left echoed in Xavier’s ears. Smirking, he muttered to himself, "Pointless? I don’t think so."Thanks to Yvonne's easy-going personality, the atmosphere in the car had eased considerably. Julian breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Madam was a perceptive woman; otherwise, he would've had a headache dealing with both of them. "Don't meet with Xavier so often in the future," Stephen suddenly blurted out in a domineering manner. "Why?" Yvonne replied without hesitation. "Do I have to tell you the reason?" Stephen sneered. "Do you really think Xavier would be interested in an ugly woman like yo
The Jewel of Your Love Chapter 42 Don’t Blame Me for Being Ruthless
Yvonne walked for an hour before finally managing to catch a taxi, cursing Stephen the entire way home. Yvonne continued to be annoyed with Stephen for the rest of the week, often going an entire day without saying more than three sentences to him. That morning, Yvonne received a phone call and had to leave the house. When she passed Stephen in the living room, she didn’t even give him a second glance. As the sound of her footsteps grew fainter, Stephen furrowed his brows in frustration. It seemed like she planned to stand by Xavier’s side to the bitter end. Yvonne went to a hotel in the suburbs rather than her company. There were two pillars at the entrance of the hotel, and two burly men were leaning against them, smoking and making small talk. When they noticed Yvonne approaching, they hurriedly snuffed out their cigarettes and threw them away.Standing up straight, both men nodded respectfully to Yvonne. "Ms. Y."Yesterday, Gwen had instructed them to deliver a man to Ms. Y in
The Jewel of Your Love Chapter 43 You Are One Trashy Woman
After leaving the hotel in a taxi, Yvonne received a call from Rachel. She hadn’t forgotten about Yvonne’s "boyfriend" and insisted on meeting him before leaving for her next project. Yvonne was caught in a dilemma. If she'd known this would be a problem earlier, she wouldn’t have used Stephen as an excuse in the first place. Besides, she was still ignoring Stephen because of their fight. She felt a migraine creeping up on her. "You guys fought?" Rachel exclaimed in surprise, "What did you fight about? Did he mistreat you?"He kicked me out of the car in the middle of the night. I had to get back home on my own." "What the hell!" Rachel immediately raised her voice. "He's such a scumbag! Why are you staying with a jerk with such violent tendencies? You should've told me earlier so that I could teach him a lesson!" Seeing that Rachel was all up in arms, Yvonne hurriedly appeased her, saying, "To be honest, I was actually the one at fault. I went to meet other men behind his back."R
The Jewel of Your Love Chapter 44 Don’t Ever Mess With Me
Upon seeing the absurd situation, Xavier instinctively wanted to help, but he realized it was unnecessary.Yvonne grabbed hold of Monica's wrist and kicked her shin heavily. "Ouch!" Monica screamed in pain.Yvonne twisted Monica’s arm behind her back and pinned her down to the ground with ease. "Open your eyes and see clearly for yourself. There's nothing going on between me and Xavier," Yvonne warned coldly. "If you dare to create trouble outside my company again, I'll tear your mouth apart.""You bitch!" Monica couldn’t say another word due to the searing pain in her arm. The color drained from her face as beads of sweat appeared on her forehead. Yvonne used Monica's scarf to wipe her face and threw it aside in disgust. Xavier opened his mouth to speak, but when he met Yvonne's chilling gaze, he fell silent immediately. The burning glare in her eyes and the scar on her cheek made her look even more frightening, like a witch. Yvonne walked past Xavier and warned, "Don't ever mess wi
The Jewel of Your Love Chapter 45 She Still Hadn’t Realized Her Mistake
Julian visited in the afternoon to give Stephen a report about work. However, he realized that Stephen was only listening half-heartedly; he was distracted and had a sour expression on his face the whole time. Julian closed his file with a snap. "Mr. Anderson, are you still giving Madam the cold shoulder?""She still hasn't realized her mistake," Stephen blurted out. He'd been waiting for someone to ask him about it so that he could finally vent. "It's obvious that Xavier had ulterior motives for approaching her. Am I in the wrong to forbid her from meeting him? I really don’t know what she's thinking!" Julian was speechless. It suddenly dawned on him that there was a reason why his boss had been single for years. He tried to persuade Stephen by saying, "Mr. Anderson, I think she also has a point. You are aware of the Robinson family’s influence in the jewelry industry. If she offended them…" "How much is Miller Jewels worth? Is it that important for her to suck up to Xavier?" Steph
The Jewel of Your Love Chapter 46 Shooting Herself in the Foot
Three days later, Yvonne had an appointment with the mysterious investor. According to the address she was given, she went to a members-only private club for the meeting. The waiter led Yvonne through a corridor that was elegant and tastefully decorated. It opened up into a garden with large trees whose leaves rustled in the wind. The private club was a quiet place, perfect for discussing business deals. It wasn’t until the waiter opened the door that Yvonne shifted her sight from admiring the scenery to the man who was seated inside. To her surprise, it was none other than Noah Anderson! "Noah, were you the one who invited me?" "Yes, that’s right." Noah poured her a cup of hot tea and gestured for her to sit down. "Here, try this tea; it tastes amazing."Yvonne sat down on the seat across from him. "Noah, I can have tea with you, but I can’t accept your investment." "Why?" Noah was puzzled. "Isn't Miller Jewels in great need of money right now?""Yes, we do need money, but I won'
The Jewel of Your Love Chapter 47 Unable to Get In Contact
Out of habit, Yvonne put in her earphones for the drive. She leaned against the taxi window and closed her eyes for a quick rest. However, when the taxi made a big turn, Yvonne realized that something was wrong and opened her eyes. Looking at the unfamiliar scenery outside the windows, she couldn't help but feel uneasy. She pulled out her phone and opened the map as she stole a glance at the driver. She realized that the taxi was heading towards the industrial zone in the east. The direction was completely opposite the city center, where Miller Tower was located. There was no doubt that she was being kidnapped, and the most likely perpetrator behind this was Patrick. Yvonne lowered her head, a wry smile on her lips. He acted pretty fast.Half an hour later, the taxi stopped in the middle of a container yard. The deserted area was littered with abandoned shipping containers. The taxi driver looked at Yvonne, who was sleeping soundly in the backseat, and chuckled contemptuously. Thi
The Jewel of Your Love Chapter 48 Thankfully, She’s Fine
When Stephen and his men reached the location, he pushed open the doors of the shipping container. Several men were lying on the ground in ridiculous positions, groaning in pain. Stephen frowned as he looked around for Yvonne. Noticing a slim figure in the distance, he recognized Yvonne lying in a far corner. In an instant, his heart leapt into his throat. Stephen hurried over and knelt down beside Yvonne, gathering her limp body in his arms. "Yvonne!"Fortunately, she was conscious and moaned in pain, "Hey, be gentle!"During her years of being a gem trader and carrying out tasks at the border, Yvonne had honed her fighting skills alongside Gwen Hawk. On a good day, she could handle more than ten men easily, but with so many people today, she was bound to sustain some injuries. After dealing with the last person, she was completely exhausted and laid down to rest for a while. She'd never expected Stephen to arrive so soon.Yvonne looked at Stephen. "How did you know I was here?"St

As Yvonne left the room, she could tell that Stephen's mood was much better.She looked at him.

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 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.
