"Dad, you should give the money to Yara. I have something to do, so I can't come with you to handle the asset division." Zoey didn't have time to deal with Lawrence's property issues right now.Lawrence asked with confusion, "What's going on?""Yvette and Xavier have gotten divorced, and I'm worried that she might try to seduce Jeremiah," Zoey replied.Jeremiah was such an outstanding son-in-law that many people had their eyes on him. Upon hearing this, Lawrence told Zoey, "Then you should hurry back.""Okay."Zoey got into the car, hesitated for a moment, but eventually decided to ask the chauffeur to drive to Titan Corporation.Last time at Titan Corporation, Jeremiah had gotten upset, and now he didn't allow Zoey to come again.This time, to avoid being berated by Jeremiah, Zoey came under the guise of Gemma's name. She went all the way to the CEO's office.She walked around the top floor and didn't see Yvette. She asked where Yvette was."Ms. Snyder has moved to the Sales
"Ms. Wurth, I know that when Jerry was sick abroad, you were the one taking care of her. But you have to understand, you're just a maid, and I am going to be Jerry's wife," Zoey reminded.Jackie lowered her head and said, "Yes, Ms. Yandell."There she was again, calling her "Ms. Yandell"!Zoey really wanted to slap her if it weren't for the fact that she was worried about making Jeremiah angry.Zoey knew that the woman in front of her, who looked quite ordinary and lacked femininity, was not a threat to her.The person she should really be wary of was Yvette, so she didn't argue with Jackie any further."I would like to meet with the general manager of the sales department," Zoey said."Alright, I'll take you there right away." Jackie maintained a respectful demeanor, but her posture was upright and confident, not at all like someone who was submissive.Jackie went down to the sales department and contacted the general manager there.The general manager was over 50 years old a
The rabbit figurine fell to the ground."Oh. Oops, my hand slipped," Zoey said deliberately.Yvette stepped forward to pick up the figurine.Zoey lifted her foot as if she was about to step on her hand.Yvette quickly reacted, grabbing Zoey's high heels with the same hand she was using to pick up the figurine.Zoey suddenly lost her balance, and with a gentle tug from Yvette, she fell right to the ground."Ah!" she screamed, hurriedly clutching her stomach.Yvette calmly picked up the rabbit figurine from the ground, dusted it off, and said to Zoey, "Sorry, I accidentally bumped into you just now. Are you okay?"She put the rabbit figurine back in its original place and looked at Zoey with indifference, showing no intention of helping her.Zoey fell to the ground, and she looked st Yvette with hatred in her eyes."What do you mean by 'accidentally'? You did it on purpose. The baby I'm carrying is a descendant of the Lane family."After she finished speaking, she picked up he
Zoey was carried out, and Jeremiah went with her to the hospital.The situation in the office also came to Marlene and Jeana's attention. The two of them took pleasure in their misfortune."I was wondering why Zoey would have anything to do with Yvette. It turns out she was plotting against her. I just didn't expect her to go so far. In order to deal with Yvette, she was even willing to take action against her own child." Marlene, being a mother, would never gamble with her son's well-being.She thought that Zoey had framed Yvette, but she didn't realize that it was actually Yvette who pushed Zoey.Jeana poured herself a glass of water and said, "I just wonder if Zoey will somehow get the better of Yvette.""Don't worry. Zoey's mom, Gemma, is not one to mess with. If her daughter was bullied, she definitely won't let Yvette get away with it," Marlene said.Marlene was well aware that the damage to Yvette's face and the kidnapping of her son were closely related to the Zelnik fami
Jeremiah snapped out of his stupor and composed his aggressive demeanor."I will gradually make her afraid to throw tantrums," Jeremiah said softly, though his tone was icy.Jackie was finding it increasingly difficult to understand him. Back when he was receiving treatment at a hospital abroad, he was so gentle every day. Even when he was unable to move, he never lost his temper or spoke harshly to her.She always thought Jeremiah was someone without any temper…"Mr. Lane, I think if you don't like Ms. Yandell, you should be honest with her and call off the engagement. There's no need to make yourself so miserable," Jackie said sincerely.Make himself miserable?Jeremiah glanced at Jackie and said, "I'm now the CEO of Titan Corporation. I'm capable and in control of the Lane family's key interests, so why would I be miserable?"After hearing this, Jackie lowered her head and said nothing more. She knew that Jeremiah's long-standing concern had always been the pain and illness a
After Gemma left, only Yvette and Zoey remained in the hospital ward.Yvette, not wanting to waste any time, handed over the document to Zoey. "Ms. Yandell, here are the report documents regarding the collaboration between the two companies. Please review them to see if there are any issues."Zoey didn't respond to Yvette. Instead, she said, "I'm thirsty. Could you pour me a glass of water first?"Considering the situation, Yvette decided to fetch her a glass of room-temperature water.Zoey took a sip of the water, feeling displeased with it."I want warm water," she said, deliberately being difficult. "Yvette, is this how you work as a department manager in the sales department at Titan Corporation? You can't even pour a glass of water properly.""If you think I'm not doing a good job, you can have someone else work with you." Yvette remained calm despite Zoey's attempts at provoking her.Zoey gave a smirk and said, "I don't want to change out anyone. What can you do about it?"
At that moment, inside an orphanage in Tirion, Gemma was in Hazel's office, feeling absolutely excited."Hazel, where is my biological daughter right now?"Hazel suggested to Gemma that she sit down first and take their time to talk.After Gemma sat down, her heart was still racing. She had been trying to find her biological daughter for over 20 years. Finally, she had a small lead."Our teachers here heard someone asking a couple of days ago about a baby girl who was taken from this place 28 years ago. They wanted to know who the biological parents of the baby were." Hazel pulled out the adoption records from that time.The registration form had yellowed with age, making many details difficult to discern, but it was clear that only two baby girls were adopted that winter.One of them was Gemma's daughter."I suspect it might be a child who was adopted back in the day and has now returned wanting to find their biological parents," Hazel continued. "Many of the original records a
Zoey still had questions to ask, but on the other end, Gemma had already hung up the phone.Zoey felt even more panicked inside."An orphanage? What's she doing at an orphanage? Didn't she say she was going to work?"Zoey, as an adopted daughter, was most afraid of someone else taking her place. She knew very well that she didn't have any blood relation with Gemma, so there was a possibility that Gemma might abandon her.She immediately picked up her phone and called her assistant, Elijah Brooks."Could you find someone to check on what my mom has been up to lately?" she asked.On the other end of the phone, Elijah cautiously asked, "Do you mean Yara or Ms. Zelnik?"Zoey snapped, "Of course, it's Gemma. Yara isn't fit to be my mom. Be careful in the future!""Yes, yes."Elijah hung up the phone, feeling a sense of disdain. How heartless of Zoey to not even recognize her own biological mother.But it was quite understandable since Gemma was wealthy and influential, wasn't she?
Yvette saw that the call was disconnected and decided not to worry about Xavier anymore.…On the other end, Mark stood outside the ICU ward. Up until now, Xavier still hadn't woken up.Tristan came over and checked all the indicators. "There's nothing wrong, so why hasn't he woken up yet?""Mr. Shaw, do you think Mr. Lane might never wake up?" There was a look of concern in Mark's eyes as he asked that. He couldn't believe that the person he had always followed would leave in such a way."Don't overthink it," Tristan said, giving him a pat on the shoulder.Suddenly, there was a noise from the outside."Who are you? This is a private hospital. No one else is allowed to be here.""How can you resort to violence?"There was the sound of things clattering, followed by the cries of pain from those in a fight.Tristan frowned. "Who is it? Do they have a death wish?"Mark was also in disbelief. Shortly afterward, they finally saw clearly who was approaching them.Jeremiah was s
Over at Snyder Residence, Yvette was woken up early by Kiki, who also informed her that there were negative rumors about Zoey circulating online."Yvvy, see, I told you that the media wouldn't easily let Zoey off the hook."Yvette read through them again.However, these news stories disappeared not long after they were published.While eating breakfast, Kiki frowned and said, "The speed at which trending articles change is just too fast.""That's the benefit of having money," Yvette said.Even the children knew about the trending articles being removed.Zachary had originally wanted to hack in further to make Zoey's news trend more frequently. Unfortunately, it seems they had figured out about the hacking attempts, so they fortified their firewall and posted someone to monitor the situation.If he hacked in again, there was a chance he might expose himself.Zachary decided to back off and settled for teaching Zoey a small lesson.…Yara was to be laid to rest today.Yvette
"We've found her, and we're currently figuring out how to obtain her biological sample," Elijah replied.Zoey was really anxious. She said, "Great. Once you've got it, come back as soon as you can.""Okay."Zoey hung up the phone and laid down to rest, but she just couldn't fall asleep.If Xandra really was Gemma's daughter, given Gemma's doting and overprotective nature, she would want to give half of everything she owned to Xandra.No, it wasn't just half. By then, Zoey might end up with nothing, and everything would go to Xandra.Zoey had a rough night and didn't sleep well, but fortunately, Elijah sent a message saying everything had been arranged. They were coming back today, so they could move forward with the examination earlier than planned.Just as things got settled over at Zoey's, online articles started trending elsewhere."Zoey Yandell is suspected to be the biological daughter of Yara Cadwell.""Zoey Yandell is unwilling to acknowledge her biological mother in or
"Fine, then. What a pity," Kiki said as she put down her phone.Yvette reassured her, saying, "There's nothing to feel bad about. What happened today was a warning to Zoey that I'm not someone to be messed with."Kiki nodded, saying, "Yes."They all understood that as long as Zoey was the Zelnik family's daughter, she would always have someone to protect her.Kiki said, "Gemma treats her adopted daughter so well. If she had her own kids, they'd definitely be happy too.""Yes, indeed."Yvette admired Zoey for having such a supportive mother who stood by her no matter what happened.Kiki asked, "Yvvy, have you ever thought about finding your biological mother?"She suddenly realized that many parents who abandoned their children might have done so because they had no other choice, or perhaps they did so for other reasons.Yvette shook her head. "I don't want to be disappointed again."Parents who could abandon their daughter at the orphanage probably didn't love her very much.
Kiki nodded and said, "Yes, it's them. They're incredibly arrogant. Just thinking about it still makes me really angry."Yvette picked up her phone and made a call. A bodyguard that was stationed nearby answered her.Kiki overheard her telling the person on the phone to isolate a few of them and beat them up."What do you mean?"Kiki still didn't understand what was happening.The driver started the car and drove them to a secluded location.Kiki then realized that all the people who had previously pushed her were now being cornered and beaten up."Yvvy, this is...""I can tolerate it if they bully me, but I can't stand it when they bully you," Yvette said, enunciating each word clearly.Kiki felt moved. She hugged Yvette tightly, saying, "Yvvy, you're amazing! My true love!"Yvette couldn't help but laugh. "Dummy. You're my best friend. You stood by me, so of course, I'll stand by you."She was no longer the person she once was, with nothing to her name. Yvette now had weal
Zoey never imagined that Yvette had secretly recorded their conversation back then.She immediately told the approaching reporters, "Stop taking pictures."However, even if the reporters didn't take photos, the guests who attended would take pictures and record videos."With this whole mix-up between the real and fake daughters, is Zoey actually from the Yandell family or the Snyder family?"Lawrence was upset and said, "My daughter, of course, took my last name.""Ah, so Yara was having an affair..."The people who came to attend the funeral on behalf of the Snyder family were instantly displeased."Are you kidding? Yara has been with you all along. Do you think us Snyders are a bunch of nobodies?"The members of the Snyder family and the people from the Cadwell family suddenly started arguing fiercely.Yvette looked at everything happening before her and just felt a deep sense of sadness.Kiki was supporting her upright, fearing she might get unintentionally caught up in th
The people present whispered to each other, confused about what Yvette was trying to do."Yvette, we were in the wrong before. Please don't take our words too seriously."The ones who previously criticized Yvette were now pretending to say nice things, fearing retaliation from her.Zoey and Lawrence stood among the crowd, unsure of what Yvette was going to do or say.Yvette ignored the person speaking and instead pulled out a report. "This is a paternity test. I am not Ms. Cadwell's biological daughter."She spoke about it boldly and bluntly.Everyone present was stunned to hear that, including Zoey and Terrence.Terrence never imagined that the sister he grew up with was not actually the daughter of the Cadwells."Yvette, don't joke around," Terrence said while forcing a laugh.Yvette looked at Terrence and said, "I'm not joking. To avoid anyone thinking I'm faking it, I've undergone tests at several major hospitals. I'm definitely not a daughter of the Cadwell family or the
The corners of Jeremiah's lips curled into a faint smile. "It seems like things aren't looking good for him."Tristan was immediately infuriated upon hearing those words. He grabbed Jeremiah by the collar and demanded, "What nonsense are you spouting?"Jeremiah looked calmly at him and said, "You're not very good at lying."Tristan was indeed that kind of person—he had no hidden agendas or schemes."You're Xav's own brother. Do you really hate him that much? Do you want him to die?"After hearing this, Jeremiah's expression remained unchanged. "You and Xavier are supposed to be best friends. Can you guarantee that you're not jealous of him and have never thought about making him disappear?""Of course not," Tristan affirmed confidently.When he was younger, he indeed felt jealous of Xavier and was unhappy about always being overshadowed by him. But as he grew older, he realized that everyone had their own strengths and that there was no need to compete with others over everythin
The members of the Cadwell family looked at each other in confusion, and then they began to apologize to Yvette and Kiki."Yvette, I'm sorry. Please forgive us. We're old and unwise.""Yes, yes, we're unwise. We're sorry.""Miss, please forgive us. We'll cover all your medical expenses."They all apologized at once, but only they knew how sincere the apologies actually were.Kiki tugged on Yvette's hand and asked, "Yvvy, what do you think we should do?"Yvette had already figured out how to deal with them. She said, "Since they already realized their mistake, let's just let it go.""Okay." Kiki, seeing that Yvette wasn't bothered by it anymore, agreed as well. "Just make sure you don't bully others by abusing your power in the future.""Right. Yes."Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, thinking they had narrowly escaped a crisis. They didn't realize that Yvette had already planned on how to deal with them.This was, after all, a funeral parlor, and some media reporters would s
