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?
Xavier listened to Yvette's words without getting angry. The cold moonlight fell on him, making him look even more lonely."What would it take for you to leave Tirion? Is one billion dollars enough?" he asked.He was about to undergo surgery, and after considering all aspects, he decided it would be best for Yvette and the children to go abroad.Yvette listened to him talking about money again and couldn't help but smile. "What do you take me for? Let me tell you, I'm not going anywhere. I'll stay right here in Tirion and at Titan Corporation."She wanted to see what kind of nonsense Xavier was up to. If he really had another woman, she wouldn't easily forgive Xavier.Yvette didn't say anything more, turned around, and went back inside her house.Xavier knew she was stubborn and felt a bit helpless about it.As soon as Yvette left, Mark came over and asked, "Mr. Lane, how did it go?""She didn't agree," Xavier said.Before going there, Mark had also thought that Yvette would n
"It's okay if you fail. You don't need to blame yourself. Just do your best," Xavier said. He appeared calm as if he wasn't afraid of what was about to happen.Tristan nodded emphatically. "I will do my absolute best."…On the other hand, Zoey waited all night inside the hospital, and the next day came with no sign of Gemma.Elijah finally came with his report. "Ms. Yandell.""How's it going? Did you find anything?" Zoey asked urgently.Elijah told her, "The people I sent said Ms. Zelnik was at the orphanage looking for her biological daughter."Zoey felt a sudden tightness in her chest.She had always known that Gemma had been searching for her biological daughter. Ever since she became more sensible, Gemma had been searching all along.Even after more than 20 years, she was still searching!"All these years have passed, and she's still looking for her biological daughter. Does she think I don't matter at all?" Zoey clenched her fists. "I was willing to cut ties with my own
Zoey immediately lay down, her delicate face free of any makeup, giving her a gentle and vulnerable appearance.Gemma walked in quickly and asked with concern, "Zoey, how are you doing?"Zoey weakly replied, "I'm feeling a lot better. It doesn't hurt as much anymore. I honestly thought I was going to die earlier."She said pitifully, "If I were to die, Mom, what would you do all by yourself?"She hugged Gemma.Gemma patted her on the shoulder and said, "It's okay. There's no way my dear daughter could die."Zoey sniffled. "Mom, I was just thinking that it would be great if my sister were still with you. Even if something happened to me, at least she would be there."Gemma was initially worried that Zoey might not want her to search for her biological daughter. Now that Zoey brought it up, Gemma didn't want to hide it from her anymore."Zoey, I have never given up looking for your sister. It seems like luck is on our side, as I might finally find her."Zoey felt her heart turn
When Jeana found out, she clicked her tongue and said, "How shameless. She's already divorced from Xav and yet is still sleeping together."Yvette heard murmuring outside and got up to check it out. She saw Jeana and a few maids badmouthing her.She was speechless. What could Xavier possibly do to her in his current state?"You don't like me sleeping with Xavier. How about you take my place?" Yvette stood upstairs and spoke loudly.Upon hearing this, Jeana's expression shifted immediately.If she were to sleep next to Xavier, she definitely wouldn't live to see the sunrise tomorrow."I'm not like you. I'm not married to Xav yet, so nothing will happen between us," Jeana said with feigned innocence.Yvette laughed. "Then, after you marry him, would you dare to share a bed with him and have something happen?"Jeana was at a loss for words once again. She stopped talking, went back to her room, and slammed the door shut.She couldn't wait to hear Yvette's screams tonight.During
Kiki sat beside him and asked, "What exactly happened? Why was Mr. Shaw Senior so angry a couple of days ago, and what's going on with Xavier?""Just know that while I'm not a saint, I'm not a terribly wicked person either. But Jeremiah is a wolf in sheep's clothing, so make sure Yvette stays cautious," Tristan advised.Kiki rolled her eyes at him."As far as I know, Jeremiah has always been kind to Yvvy. When they were young, he often helped her and stood up for her when she was bullied. But you, when she just married Xavier, you were the one who bullied her the most!"Tristan was momentarily at a loss for words.That was because Kiki was right in pointing out that Tristan used to frequently bully Yvette.Yvette's hearing had worsened in both ears, and she currently relied on hearing aids until now.Tristan was filled with regret, and he understood that he could never make things right with Yvette. He had been researching ways to treat mild hearing loss but hadn't made much pro
Yvette shook her head and said, "Not yet. His condition is still very unstable. Once Dad's health improves, I'll take you and Zachary to see him."Noah nodded obediently and said, "Alright. Go ahead. Ms. Wendy and Lily are at home. I'll be good.""Okay."Yvette listened to what Noah said and felt genuinely gratified. She was really thankful to have two such thoughtful children at such a young age.After soothing Noah, Yvette had the driver drive to the manor.She had just arrived and saw the nurses and doctor forcibly administering an injection to Xavier."What kind of injection is this?" Yvette immediately stepped forward."It's a sedative," Nathaniel replied with a stern expression. "Mr. Lane lost control again earlier and started hitting people."Yvette frowned. "Didn't I tell you? If he has an episode, just call me, and I'll come over right away."Nathaniel feigned a helpless look at Yvette. "That won't do. When Mr. Lane gets violent, he doesn't hold back at all. If we don
Yvette immediately understood what Jacqueline meant. "Thank you so much. I'll cover all your losses personally.""You don't have to. Just continue working with me when you're in charge in the future."Jacqueline realized that Yvette was genuinely kind-hearted. In their collaboration, she found that she got a fair deal and even made more profit compared to working with others."Okay." Yvette didn't exchange any more pleasantries with her after that.Today's parent meeting had unexpectedly helped Yvette solve a big problem.She finally breathed a sigh of relief. She could now take a proper rest.First, she took care of Noah, and then she planned to go to the manor to visit Xavier.At home, Noah had already learned from Zachary's investigation that the manor was private property belonging to Jeremiah."Zac, I feel like it's not really a good thing for Mom, but if she wants to be with Jeremiah, I'll support her."Noah rested his head on his hand and said, "But Jeremiah is already
Anne, thinking about her child at home, said, "I need to go back and check on my kid too."As the three people got ready to leave, Elena hesitated and stayed behind.Once they left, a few of the other moms also decided to leave.The remaining people seemed to want to get on Marlene's good side.Marlene also knew of this and told them, "Zayden will be returning to the main headquarters of Titan Corporation very soon.""Really? To what position?" Mia asked.Marlene smiled and said, "It has to be a high-ranking position.""Congratulations are definitely in order. Once Mr. Zayden returns to work at the headquarters, could you possibly help make some introductions?" Mia tentatively suggested.Elena made a point to remember everything that happened here so she could tell Yvette all about it.Elena felt that even if Yvette and Xavier were divorced, Yvette's life wouldn't be any worse than Marlene'sShe was determined to become friends with Yvette again, and she believed she was maki
Upon learning of the situation, Jeremiah instructed Nathaniel to keep a close watch on Xavier's every move, especially when he was with Yvette.Nathaniel said, "Yvette also wants Mr. Xavier to be able to go out for walks."Jeremiah paused before replying, "As long as he doesn't leave the manor, he can go for a walk."Yvette could look at Xavier at any moment, and Jeremiah didn't want Yvette to have a negative impression of him."Understood."…As the end of the month approached at Titan Corporation, those with the lowest sales would be fired.Division Five had been performing well, but unfortunately, there were issues with the accounts. If the upper management or shareholders found out, it could become a significant problem.At that time, it was likely that Division Five, who were suspected of fraud, would be fired.Yvette had already arranged for someone to look into this matter, focusing on who has been in close contact with Marlene or Division One recently.However, there
Jeana stopped talking after that. If Shannon were to see hers hurting Xavier, not only would the idea of them getting married be out of the question, but she would definitely be kicked out.Yvette couldn't be bothered to continue the conversation and said, "In the future, be more careful. If it happens again, it won't just end with a slap."She returned to her room to continue resting.The next day, when morning came, Xavier was still asleep.The doctor came to give him a medical check-up.The doctor said, "Most of Mr. Lane's physical injuries have healed, but the brain damage is something that won't recover in this lifetime."Yvette listened with a worried expression on her face.Before, it was just that Xavier couldn't see. Now, he had turned into a fool.Although he was once a favored and exceptionally talented person, his current life of his was incredibly difficult.Nathaniel escorted the doctor out, leaving only Yvette and Xavier in the room. Yvette was about to go to w
Yvette quietly peeked through the crack in the door and saw that Xavier was still lying in bed. His eyes were still closed.He hadn't woken up at all. He must have been having a nightmare just now.Yvette finally felt relieved enough to go back in and tucked the covers back around him, teasing him as she did so, "Look at you in your current state, yet you've got beautiful women eager to marry you. You're really lucky."After finishing speaking, she thought it was getting late and decided to go back to her room to rest.Suddenly, Xavier's large hand grasped her wrist tightly.Yvette's pupils constricted. She thought Xavier had woken up, so she immediately called out to him. "Xavier..."Xavier, however, let go of her.Yvette's eyes were filled with disappointment as she gently placed his hand down."I'll see you again tomorrow."Yvette then went back to her room to sleep.In the early hours of the morning, the sky was exceptionally dark. Yvette was a light sleeper and had a vag
"It's so late. It can't be good, right?" Nathaniel said, standing in front of Yvette.Yvette asked, puzzled, "What's not good?""I'm just concerned about your safety," Nathaniel explained.Yvette stepped past him and said, "Don't worry, I'll take care of myself."She quickly walked toward Xavier's room.Nathaniel assumed that Xavier would not wake up now, so he didn't stop her again.In the spacious bedroom, Xavier lay quietly on the bed with his eyes tightly shut. He didn't appear to be sleeping normally.Yvette closed the door before walking to his side."Xavier," she called out.The person on the bed showed no signs of movement.Yvette sat beside him on the bed and pulled the covers aside a little to look at him, only to discover that he was covered in injuries.It looked like he was hit with a stick, leaving bruises all over. It seemed really painful.Yvette looked around, found a medical kit, picked it up, and began to tend to his wounds.What she didn't know was that
