That night, Elvin excitedly called the doctor over, but after a check-up, they realized that Stephen hadn't woken up.Everyone assumed that Elvin had probably imagined it, especially since he was still young. But Elvin strongly believed that Stephen was about to come around. He also thought that Stephen must have heard what he said. The deal between them would soon be fulfilled.…Calbert's search for Yvonne didn't yield any results. He felt a little dejected."Yvonne has been hurt so badly. Where could she have run off to? Why has she vanished from the face of the earth without leaving any trails? This is really strange."Calbert had been complaining on the couch for a long time. When he saw that Otto was busy on his phone, he was instantly displeased.He reached his leg out and kicked Otto. "What are you busy with? Is there anything else more important than searching for Yvonne?"At that point, Calbert finally realized that Otto had been really busy recently. He wasn't focus

Time passed by in a blink of an eye.Astertown was filled with greenery in the summer. The hot wind smelled of dried leaves.In the hot city, the only cool place was up in the mountains.A mansion lay quietly halfway up the mountains among the woods. It was paradise. The breeze blew by, creating a symphony of leaves rustling. A woman was sleeping soundly in the rocking chair.She was in a long, sleeveless dress. The burn scars on her hand and body were visible, making the harmonious scene look a little scary.At that moment, the Czechoslovakian Wolfdog lying by her side, who had been sleeping, suddenly perked its head up. It looked at the living room with caution.Soon, a man entered.The dog immediately wagged its tail and barked at the man.The man couldn't stop the dog in time. The woman sat up. They looked at each other and smiled."Ms. Miller, I'm sorry for disturbing you.""I've been sleeping for a long time. It's good that you came. If not, I won't be able to sleep a

That night, Ella received the photos from the private investigator. She was so furious that she lost all her appetite. She sprang up from the chair.Virginia was perplexed. "Ella, what happened?""I've lost my appetite!" Ella slammed her cutlery on the table, much to Samuel's annoyance."How old are you? Can't you learn to control your temper? How are you going to marry into the Carrington family like this? Are you going to let them laugh at us for not bringing you up well?"Ella felt even more aggrieved. She held her phone out to them. "Marry? There's no such thing as a wedding! Otto is having an affair with another woman! He doesn't want to marry me at all!""An affair?" Samuel furrowed his brows. He snatched the phone over to have a look. Before he even looked at it properly, he angrily slammed the table. "This is outrageous! Otto is engaged to you, yet he is still having an affair. Do they really think that our family can be bullied like that?"Virginia said hesitantly, "Th

Edith had no choice but to call Otto. She told him all about the Ferguson family's accusations with the photos. "Otto, tell me. Do you have feelings for another woman?" Edith said gently, "Your marriage with Ella is Grandma's decision. If you have someone you like, I will surely support you.""No, we're just friends."Otto's head hurt a little. He rubbed his throbbing temple. He had rejected Ella countless times for such a long time. He had thought that Ella would give up as time passed.But not only had Ella refused to give up, she had even crossed the line even further. She had actually hired someone to stalk him.Edith was suspicious. "Are you really just friends? According to Ella, you have been going over there often to—""We're really just friends," Otto said once more, but he wasn't willing to explain further. "I'll be returning home the day after tomorrow. Help me deal with Great-Grandma. I don't want my personal matters to affect my friend."Hearing that, Edith no lo

Once she reached the hotel, Jane changed her clothes before going to see Cory.Smoke loomed in the air in Cory's room.As she entered the room, everyone immediately took the cigarettes out of their mouths and put them out in the ashtray."Hello, Ms. Ford," they greeted her.Jane smiled in response. She walked directly over to Cory, who was in the middle of a game of poker. She greeted him demurely, "Hi, Cory."Cory looked up and responded indifferently, "You're here.""Hmm." Jane walked over, and a subordinate immediately put a chair down next to Cory for her to sit on."With Ms. Ford around, Cory's luck is going to change.""Yes, Ms. Ford's business has been growing at the border! She brings fortune! What luck!""Don't be resentful. Finding a woman is also a capability. If you're so capable, find one for yourself!"The people around the poker table started teasing her.Jane looked shy. "Stop teasing me. It's just a little business. Besides, this is all thanks to Cory."The
