Mark didn't explain much over the phone. He asked Jane to meet him and told her a place and time.After hanging up, it took a long time for Jane to come to her senses.She couldn't calm down after learning that Yvonne was still alive. She couldn't differentiate if she was feeling pity or delight. The pitiful part was that Yvonne wasn't dead.The delightful part was that she could still settle the score with Yvonne. She could still see Yvonne get tortured to death.The more Jane thought about it, the more excited she became. She even thought that everything that had happened the night before was meant to be.The universe was giving her a chance to be Cory's woman so that she could have the confidence to take back everything from Yvonne!…At the same time, Yvonne felt a chill run down her back. She subconsciously scrunched her neck up."It's just as you predicted." Calbert didn't even knock on the door. He walked straight to Yvonne. "Cory went to the bar to fish out the surv
As she left the border on a private jet, Yvonne was on a video call on her laptop with Nicole, discussing the details of the jewelry exhibition.Nicole was extremely dedicated to the exhibition. The moment she returned to the country, she came up with a dozen proposals according to Yvonne's ideas. She presented all of them to Yvonne in one shot."Ms. Miller, there is another folder with a list of internationally renowned costume designers and stage designers—""I already have a candidate for the costume designer." Yvonne smiled. "I'll send you her contact information. You can ask her in Miller Jewels' name. I'll meet her in person."Nicole was curious. "Is this some famous person that I haven't heard about before?""No. She's not famous at all. She's just an ordinary person." "Uh…" Nicole was a little doubtful. "Ms. Miller, this is your first jewelry exhibition. Won't it be too risky to use an ordinary person?"Nicole wanted to hold the perfect exhibition for Yvonne. She believ
Edith had been stuck with the Carrington family for so long that she had long forgotten her own value. Or perhaps she no longer dared to believe in herself.Yvonne's opportunity was a chance for Edith to find herself once again.Otto made up his mind that, no matter what, he had to make it happen."Mom, give me the phone. I'll talk to Nicole.""What?" Edith was baffled. "Otto, you're a smart man. How could you believe in such a cheap scam?""I'll know whether it's a scam or not once I talk to her, right?" Otto smiled and reached his hand out to Edith. "If you think I'm smart, you should trust me. If the other person is fake, I'll recognize it right away after talking to her."Edith hesitated for a while before handing her phone to him. "Call her then. When you realize that she's a scammer, please yell at her for me. I didn't do it properly earlier." "Okay." Otto took the phone over and looked at Edith as she headed back to her room to pack. He walked over to the balcony.Te
Perplexed, Edith followed behind Otto. They walked through the corridors and reached the door to a private room.At that moment, Edith sensed that something was off. She wanted to pull Otto back and leave, but it was too late.Without even knocking, Otto opened the door right away."Otto, you…" Edith trailed off mid-sentence when she saw the figure in the room. Her mind blanked immediately.Yvonne chuckled when she saw Edith standing by the door in a daze. "Mrs. Jenner, it's only been a short while. Have you already forgotten me?""N-No… No." Edith finally came to her senses. She immediately walked into the private room. "Are you really Yvonne? I'm not dreaming, am I?"Edith reached out to touch Yvonne's face. Once she realized that Yvonne was real, her eyes welled up with tears."I really thought t-that… that you were—""I was just resting for a while." Yvonne smiled and looked at Otto. "I have Mr. Carrington to thank for looking after me all this while.""Otto has been l
Yvonne held Edith's hand gently. She looked serious. "Mrs. Jenner, you're talented and capable. Don't look down on yourself so easily."This jewelry exhibition has been my dream, and it's really important to me. I want it to be the perfect exhibition more than anyone else. "Even if you don't believe in yourself, you should believe in my taste. You're the best costume designer for this exhibition."The words "costume designer" made Edith's heart flutter. She looked at Yvonne. "I-I'm just a housewife. I'm not a designer. You—""You made me a gown. It was a beautiful piece. You really like making clothes, not to mention the fact that you have exceptional talent. "Just based on this alone, you're much better than many other designers."Yvonne's confidence in her rendered Edith speechless.Otto chimed in and said, "Ms. Miller is right. You've sacrificed half of your life for the Carrington family. Now that you've left them, it's time you look to find yourself once more. "Mom, no
That afternoon tea was one of the happiest ones Edith had ever had in her life. She was still smiling widely as she left."Mom, wait for me in the car. I still have something to say to Ms. Miller."Edith happily agreed, "Okay! I'll go first. Have a good talk with Ms. Miller. In fact, have a long talk with her."Seeing Edith leave quickly, Otto smiled helplessly. "You're only going to make my mother like you even more."Yvonne hadn't just kindled Edith's hope for a better future; her return had also revived Edith's hope to become her mother-in-law.Yvonne didn't mind one bit. She said with a smile, "Don't you think she's quite adorable? That's how she should be.""Hmm." Otto looked in the direction in which Edith had left. "Thank you for giving me a chance to see my mother's true personality.""Thanking me once is enough." Yvonne followed his gaze."Besides, I have my personal agenda. I really like the gown she made for me. It suits the jewelry exhibition nicely. I can't think o
"You're…" Agatha was so surprised that she almost let slip.Out of reflex, she quickly covered the phone and turned to Heidi. "You may go. I have some emergency matters I need to deal with."Heidi had just perked her ears up. Still, she had no choice but to go. "Alright, then. If you need help, let me know at any time. I'll immediately come to you.""Okay," Agatha responded, but she looked eager for Heidi to leave.Once Heidi left, Agatha placed the phone next to her ear once more. She asked urgently, "The grave you built? Why did you build an empty grave? What do the child and that empty grave have to do with you? Also, where are you right now?"The other person didn't answer her series of questions. Instead, he asked in retort, "Who are you in the Carrington family?""Answer my questions first!" Agatha was anxious. She desperately wanted to see the person on the other end of the line."I have to make sure of your identity before I consider whether I want to reveal myself."
Mark walked past Jane. He said, "Come with me."Jane didn't budge. "I don't think I have anything to talk to you about.""If you don't want to regret it, you'll come with me," Mark said as he pushed the glass door and entered the café. The bell attached to the door rang.Jane stood rooted to the spot. She hesitated for a while before turning around. Since she was already there, she could just hear him out and see what sort of news that cripple could bring her.They were the only two people in the café, besides the owner.Mark seemed to know the owner. With one look, the owner immediately understood and served them two iced coffees.Jane felt uncomfortable sitting in her seat. After the owner left, she grumbled softly, "What kind of shithole is this? It's so dirty. Can I even drink this?"Mark sneered. He leaned back with his iced coffee. "Sorry for not thinking this through. I didn't think that you would still care about any of this since you now have to rely on someone else to
