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.

    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

    "What are you talking about?" Yvonne widened her eyes in surprise. "Why would I put myself in such danger just to frame you? Uncle Patrick, you shouldn’t accuse people without any evidence!" Patrick spat on the ground. "Don't call me "Uncle Patrick"! I am so unlucky to have a niece like you! You don't even respect your own father; who knows what despicable things you're capable of?" He turned to the police, who were watching. "Officers, this woman is up to no good! Don't just listen to her side of the story! I'm innocent!"The police couldn't bear it anymore. "The young lady has been nothing but kind and respectful. On the other hand, you hadn't said anything pleasant since you walked in. Ms. Miller, since you've had such a frightful incident, please stay inside the room. We'll handle things here and ensure that justice is served."The police urged Yvonne to go back into the waiting room. She nodded obediently. Turning around, the fear in Yvonne’s eyes melted away and was replaced by

    "What do you mean? Hasn't it already been investigated? It has nothing to do with Patrick—" Thomas was trying to exonerate Patrick from his involvement in the purchase of fake diamonds so hastily that he couldn't even string together proper sentences without stammering. "He hasn't told you yet, has he?"Yvonne cut in coldly: "Mr. Lind, who sold fake diamonds to Patrick, is in my hands. He also agreed to testify against him. That was why Patrick was clutching at straws."Thomas was stunned. Mr. Lind was in Yvonne's hands? Why didn't he know about any of this? Didn't Patrick say that the man he worked with wouldn't sell anyone out? What was going on?"I will not forgive Patrick. I'll follow through so that he gets his punishment. If you still want to get involved in this, don't blame me for not showing you mercy even though you are my father." Yvonne pointed her finger at the door. "You know what to do."Since she was being so firm in her stance, Thomas dared not help Patrick anymore

    Stephen's thought of reconciling with Yvonne vanished right away.He hadn't even forgotten Xavier’s case yet. How dare she have the nerve to meet Noah? Did she have no regard for him as her husband?Stephen ordered coldly, "Tell him that Yvonne is alright now. She's not available to meet any guests at the moment as she's resting.""Okay." Mr. Carroll then returned to the front door and told Noah exactly what Stephen had said."If that's the case..." Noah looked at the villa and smiled casually. "Alright then, let her rest. I'll visit another day."Noah let the driver take him back to Anderson Mansion. His eyes still rested on the villa as they pulled out of the driveway.Noah's car had followed Stephen the whole time he'd been searching for Yvonne. And the discovery was interesting… It looked like Stephen really cared about the troll....It was nighttime. Stephen was about to go to bed when he heard the door knocking. As he opened the door, Yvonne leaned against the door frame

  • The Jewel of Your Love   Chapter 52 We Will Never Be Apart

    "We're married. If you listen to what I say, I won't leave you."Stephen always thought of women as trouble and naturally thought the same of marriage. That's why he was so against it when Elizabeth arranged his marriage for him. But come to think of it, he didn't seem to resist living with her for the rest of his life.She couldn't only cure his eyes, but she could also help him in other areas. Like right now, she could also satisfy his needs. Stephen lowered his head and moved closer to her. She could feel his breath on the tip of her nose.Yvonne drew her neck back. "We will never be apart?""Yes." Stephen didn't even hesitate for a moment.Yvonne didn't believe in promises. Especially the promises men made on the spur of the moment. That kind of promise was nothing. However, she was willing to go along with it for the time being. She smiled. "Alright. I believe you."Her radiant smile came into his sight, and he held his breath momentarily. Then he wrapped his arms around her

    If Elizabeth said so, there is no way she could reject her directly. So Yvonne resorted to saying, "We'll work hard on it.""Good. It’ll be nice if you both listen." Camille became curious as she glanced at Stephen. She clearly remembered increasing the dosage of aconite in his medication so it would be more intense, so why did he look better? What the hell?She pushed the pack of medication toward Yvonne. "Are you making sure Stephen takes his medicine on time?""I am." Yvonne answered, appearing to be the picture of obedience. "Don’t you think he looks better?"Her words make Camille speechless. So Yvonne was the problem! Camille smiled. "Yes, we all wish that Stephen will recover soon.""I know." Yvonne looked at Stephen. "I hope he recovers soon too." Even though she looked affectionate, she was actually gnashing at her teeth. She would've left him to suffer if she'd known that he would be so annoying.Camille didn’t stay for long. She repeatedly reminded Yvonne to give Steph

    Yvonne was in low spirits today, perhaps because she'd suffered the entire day yesterday. She went straight to bed after she had dinner. She slept until midnight. She heard someone knocking on the door in a daze. Irritated, she crept out of bed and opened the door with a long face. "Who is it? What aren't you sleeping at the middle of the—"A figure passed by her, breaking her off in the middle of her sentence. He said in a deep voice, "There's something I want to talk to you about."Yvonne trembled and looked at Stephen’s back with a frown on her face. Did he need to go crazy in the middle of the night? She closed the door and followed him while yawning. "Can’t you say it tomorrow? I’m so tired—"Stephen turned around abruptly. She wasn’t able to react quickly and almost bumped into his chest. With his blurry vision, he could still see that she only wore a sling nightdress. Her fair skin made her look like she was shining.He couldn't help but think back to how her skin felt aga

  • The Jewel of Your Love   Chapter 55 She'd Take Advantage of Everything

    Yvonne received a call from her assistant early the next morning, informing her that Mr. Lind had gone to the police station to report Patrick for purchasing fake diamonds from him in person. Miller Jewels' legal department had also gone there early to assist in the investigation. After the investigation results came out, Miller Jewels could press charges against Patrick immediately and ask him to compensate for the company's losses and pursue the company's funds.Everything was under Yvonne's control. She was in a great mood. She was even humming to herself when she went downstairs. "Madam, what made you so happy?" Tabitha asked out of curiosity."It's about the company," Yvonne replied. She saw Stephen sitting at the dining table and greeted him. "Good morning, Mr. Anderson."Tabitha felt that something was wrong between them, and she was pretty worried about it. So she was very happy when she saw Yvonne taking the initiative to greet Stephen. Tabitha elbowed Stephen when he

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
