Yvonne received a call from Jasmine a week later. She was in a meeting with the design department to confirm the details of the upcoming products when she got the call, so she called Jasmine back after the meeting ended.

Jasmine invited her to attend a gathering for the wives of the rich and famous socialites. Yvonne wanted to decline her invitation, but Jasmine added, "There's no harm in having more connections in Northerna City. They love jewelry. Perhaps they could be potential clients. You'll probably benefit by attending." She had a point, and her words moved Yvonne.

Yvonne arrived at the open-air restaurant on time, according to the address and time Jasmine gave her. The whole restaurant had been reserved for the private wine-tasting party. Yvonne could see the wives chatting and laughing. Jasmine was the first to turn her head toward the door when she heard the bell ring. She'd been waiting for Yvonne.

Jasmine was from a good social background, and she also had a good charact

    "Mrs. Robinson, you're from a good family, and you also married well. Everyone thinks that you're lucky." Monica placed her hand on the back of Jasmine's hand. Jasmine wanted to draw her hand away, but Monica grabbed her hand tightly.Jasmine started to panic. "What do you want?"Monica leaned forward and looked directly into her eyes. "I just want to be friends with you. After Xavier and Kayla get married, we'll be closer sisters.""I'm not the one who decides this. It needs Old Mr. Robinson's—" Jasmine tried to reject her, but Monica placed a finger before her pursed lips and hushed her. "You have no other choice." Monica whispered in Jasmine's ear, "Do you want to guess what would happen if I told everyone what had really happened at the jewelry design competition back then?"Jasmine's face fell after she heard Monica's threat. Monica smiled. "Don't worry. Tara died long ago, and the sketches are in my hands. Nobody, except me, will know that you plagiarized her work."If Monic

    "There's only one copy of the recording, and I've just deleted it." Xavier put his phone back in his pocket. "Just consider it a favor, and now you owe me one. Not a big deal, isn't it?"Yvonne crossed her arms. She tried to be patient and looked at him. "Mr. Robinson, what kind of tricks are you planning this time? Get to the point.""I didn't plan to play tricks on you." Xavier smiled with narrowed eyes. "I want you. I will compete with Stephen fair and square." Once again, Yvonne couldn't figure out what exactly he was trying to do. She suspected that he'd been born without a brain. "I deleted the recording to show my sincerity for us to get to know each other all over again." He held out his hand to Yvonne. "Ms. Miller, why don't we forget our grudges from the past?"She stared at his hand. "I'm sorry. I'm a person who holds grudges. Besides, I'm quite faithful." She took a few steps back and held her hands behind her body. She laughed at Xavier. "Also, I always thought that you

    Far away in Northerna City, Yvonne had no idea that Xavier had betrayed her. She didn't take what he'd said to her to heart. She only thought he was making fun of her because he was bored. She didn't expect that he was being serious. However, the whole company was talking about the flowers that were being sent to Miller Jewels every day at the same time.Although Yvonne threw all of them into the trash can, she couldn't stop people from gossiping and decided to let it go. After all, if she tried to explain it now, she would look like she was covering up something. It would be better if she pretended nothing had happened.Since Andy had found out that Miller Jewels' collaboration with international companies had gone up in smoke, he occasionally called to ask about Miller Jewels' current situation. He was relieved when he found out that everything was running smoothly. He couldn't help but feel a sense of injustice toward her. "It was the organization's fault this time. You made so

  • The Jewel of Your Love   Chapter 101 Stephen Will Definitely Die

    Three days later, Yvonne slept in since it was a weekend. By the time she went downstairs, Stephen had already had his breakfast and was reading a financial newspaper.Tabitha and Alfie couldn't be happier since Stephen had recovered his sight; they even looked at Yvonne with extra tenderness in their eyes. Before this, they had respected her as Mrs. Anderson, but now they treated her as a lucky charm.Tabitha specifically waited for Yvonne to sit down before she went to prepare a special meal for her. The breakfast she made for Yvonne was even more lavish than Stephen's.Yvonne took a bite of her croissant and couldn't help but throw a flaunting glance at Stephen.Without lifting his gaze, Stephen said, "Come out with me tonight. You'll find out more when we get there." His last words shut down the question that had been about to leave Yvonne's mouth. She furrowed her brows, curious about his secretive behavior.Yvonne was in suspense for the rest of the day. In the evening, sh

    Stephen remained silent. Yvonne stepped on Danny, and her eyes fixed on Stanley before quickly darting to the medication, signaling him to take the medication packet from the table.Stanley regained his senses and hurriedly snatched the medication packet. Then he handed it to Yvonne. Yvonne sniffed the powder and turned to look at Stephen, confirming, "This is aconite powder."Stephen nodded and instructed Stanley, "Have someone take them away."Soon, Stanley's men rushed into the room and tied Camille and Danny up."Stephen, you can't treat me like this!" Camille shouted, "Charles won't let you off if you dare to lay a finger on me!"Stanley was afraid that her shouts would annoy Stephen, so he nudged the man holding her and urged him to take Camille and Danny away quickly.After they left, the room went silent. Yvonne approached Stephen with the medication packet in hand. "We have all the proof we need. Why don't we just take them to the Anderson family?""We will need to wait

  • The Jewel of Your Love   Chapter 103 Camille’s Weakness

    Conan was a teenager, about 15 years old. His features bore a striking resemblance to Stephen's. He had a slender figure and unnaturally pale skin. It was as if he'd been confined indoors for a long time.The young boy exuded a strong air of stubbornness as he stood as still as a log in front of Camille. He remained silent, staring fixedly at Elizabeth.As Yvonne observed the scene, she deduced that the Andersons must have kept the young boy hidden for so long because of his mental illness. She remembered how Camille had been desperately trying to hide someone in the Rolls-Royce Dawn when she and Stephen had moved out of the mansion. It had probably been Conan."Conan, you should leave now. This matter should be handled by adults; you shouldn't interfere," Charles kindly advised. However, the young boy paid no attention and continued to keep his arms spread wide.Tears streamed down Camille's face as she said, "Don't bring Conan into this. Let me bear all the blame …""It's good t

  • The Jewel of Your Love   Chapter 104 How Could They Be Happy About It?

    Elizabeth asked Stephen incredulously, "Is your grandfather telling the truth?" The Anderson family had received both good and bad news on the same day.When Elizabeth saw Stephen nod, she couldn't bear it. She put her hands over her chest, and tears of excitement welled up in her eyes. She murmured words of gratitude to God repeatedly.In contrast, William and his family weren't in such high spirits. They knew what this turn of events meant for them.After Stephen had become blind, Noah had temporarily taken over as president of Anderson Group, and their family had greatly benefited from it. Now that Stephen had recovered, they had to give up the benefits that had fallen into their laps. How could they be happy about it?"It's a great joy that Stephen's regained his eyesight!"Noah asked a maid to pour some wine. He raised his glass to toast Stephen, and he said, "Congratulations; Anderson Group has been waiting for you." Under the bright light, he looked picturesque, with a be

    "If it hadn't been for you, Camille's plan would have succeeded."On the way to Anderson Mansion earlier, Yvonne had explained how she'd discovered the aconite powder in the medication. Since she had to keep her medical skills a secret, she made up a story claiming that she'd mistakenly consumed aconite as a child and had almost lost her life. Hence, she vividly remembered its smell and taste, which had inadvertently saved Stephen.Philip looked at Yvonne with warmth and said, "Thank you, Yvonne."Perhaps it was due to his gratitude toward Yvonne for saving Stephen's life, but Philip didn't find Yvonne's scar unsightly, no matter how he looked at her. He liked her very much.Initially, he'd believed that Elizabeth arranging a marriage for Stephen was absurd, but now he had to give her credit for a job well done."Stephen is my husband; it's only natural for me to save him. You don't have to thank me," Yvonne replied obediently.Seeing how Stephen showed no reaction, Philip couldn

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.

    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

    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

    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.
