"Uh…" Jane felt sheepish. She stuttered for a long time, but she still couldn't find her words."The gemstone market is Calbert's territory. You only took a few men, yet you had the audacity to provoke Yvonne. Only she will let you go."Cory held back his anger. He enunciated, "You could have died there, and I wouldn't have been able to rescue you."If Yvonne hadn't reminded him, he wouldn't have realized that her actions the day before showed how little she cared about his men's lives. He could sacrifice his men in battle while trying to fight for power, but never for no reason because of his woman's stupidity.Cory clenched his fist tightly and said coldly, "You'll stay in your room and reflect on your mistakes. When you finally understand what you've done wrong, I'll let you out."Jane was bewildered. "Cory, you can't do this to me. Didn't you promise me you'd help me take down Emerald Group? We're going up against Yvonne. Sacrifice is necessary—""Not all sacrifices are nec

Yvonne returned to Miller Villa that night. The moment she entered, a fluffy figure pounced on her, and she almost fell to the ground.Then, a wet tongue licked all over her face. There was the smell of soap on the fluffy body.Yvonne laughed from feeling ticklish. "Doodoo, calm down."Edith came out of the kitchen when she heard a commotion. She looked at the scene by the door and laughed. "It's you. You must be tired. Do you want some food? I'm making pasta.""Okay."It took a lot of effort before Yvonne was able to calm the excited Doodoo down. She walked over to Edith. Doodoo was still following her, wagging its tail."Mrs. Jenner, thank you for taking care of Doodoo. You've really taken good care of him.""It's a small matter. Doodoo's a great dog. Giving him a bath wasn't a big deal." Edith looked at Doodoo and smiled. "I guess Doodoo missed you a lot. When you weren't around, he waited by the door all the time, and now he's finally seen you.""I left in a hurry the oth

Agatha was constantly distracted during the next few days after the call.That day, Heidi was giving Agatha an update on the birthday party's preparations. She had asked for Agatha's opinion a few times but received no response.Heidi finally waved her hand in front of Agatha. "Grandma, were you listening to what I said?"Agatha came to her senses. She glared at Heidi unhappily and shoved her hand away. "How rude. I'm listening!"Heidi was unhappy that she had been reproached for no reason. Yet she had no choice but to endure it. She smiled and said, "I was just unsure because you don't seem to have an opinion on this.""I don't have any opinion. Just arrange it." Agatha looked at the guest list on the table. "Just don't invite too many outsiders this year."Heidi looked a little conflicted. She picked the guest list up and handed it to Agatha. "Why don't you have a proper look? These are all close friends of our family. We invite them every year. If we don't invite them this y

A week before Agatha's birthday party, Yvonne arranged for a feeding service for Doodoo before leaving Northerna City with Edith.On the private plane, Yvonne was still on a video call with Nicole, discussing the details of the jewelry exhibition.Edith handed a cup of coffee to Yvonne and went in closer to look at her laptop. "Is this the stage for the jewelry exhibition?""Hmm. We haven't decided on the final effect."Yvonne took a sip of coffee and looked at the screen pensively. "No matter how we adjust it, it isn't like how I thought it would be. It feels like it's lacking something." Edith nodded. "It does have that feeling."She had been working with the Miller Jewels team recently, so she understood Yvonne's jewelry exhibition quite well.Yvonne wanted something elegant and grandiose. The current stage design seemed luxurious, but it was only at the surface.Edith looked at the screen for a long time, an idea slowly coming to her.Yvonne shut the laptop, unintentional

Yvonne leaned against the bar counter and smiled. "You're right. I never thought this would be the case either."She looked at Otto as she supported her head against her hand lazily. The way he made cocktails was an exciting performance. She could never get bored of it.Soon, a pink cocktail was presented in front of her."Thank you." Yvonne picked up the glass and downed it in one go."You…" Otto couldn't stop her in time. He smiled helplessly. "You're wasting my efforts if you drink like this.""I don't know how to appreciate alcohol." Yvonne placed the empty glass down. "Right now, alcohol is a form of painkiller for me. When you take painkillers, do you care about their taste or their ingredients?"Yvonne looked at Otto. Her eyes twinkled like a galaxy."I bet in your eyes, I'm no different than an alcoholic, right?"Otto's heart fluttered. He looked away. "Not really."As he made the second glass, he added slowly, "I'm just worried that if you continue drinking, you won't
