Zachary opened his WhatsApp and video-called Tristan.Tristan was in the middle of a discussion with several medical experts about the brain surgery scheduled for tomorrow when he saw a call from Zachary. He couldn't help but frown.His phone was still casting to the screen, so everyone saw his note about Zachary—"A pesky brat here to settle debts from a past life!"Tristan quickly turned off the screen mirroring and stepped outside. He answered the call, and Zachary's handsome face appeared before Tristan."What's up?" He looked at the brat's handsome face, feeling a bit envious.Zachary was observing Tristan's surroundings. "Mr. Tristan, are you in Moland now?"Tristan didn't take Zachary seriously at all and blatantly lied, "Yeah, what's up? Is Grandpa looking for me again?"Zachary noticed the plants behind Tristan were ones only found in Tirion, not in Moland.Tristan really was as careless as ever."No. It's Kiki who asked me to call you to see how you're doing over ther
Kiki snapped back to reality and praised Zachary, "You did the right thing. I definitely wouldn't accept his gift. When you take something from someone, you owe them, and there's definitely some ulterior motive to it.""You're right." Zachary nodded repeatedly.Noah watched as his brother blatantly lied.It was quite melodramatic. When ordinary people lied, he could see through it immediately, but when Zachary lied, he truly couldn't tell. He also wondered if Zachary had ever secretly lied to him."Alright. Go wash up and get ready for bed.""Okay."The two children spoke in unison.After settling the children down, the three women were sitting on the couch, eating and chatting.Yvette was feeling tired, so she went to bed.Kiki couldn't help but ask Lillian, "Lillian, how do you feel being with Mark?"When she met Mark, she found him to be very rigid and not very friendly. He seemed like someone girls would hesitate to approach."It's alright," replied Lillian."Have you h
Kiki was somewhat careless, and today, Zachary and Noah ended up wearing the exact same outfit."Noah, soon it's going to be time to test your exceptional acting skills," Zachary said seriously."Don't worry. It'll be fine," Noah replied in a sweet, childlike voice.If it weren't for the fact that only Kiki had stayed behind, Zachary wouldn't have resorted to this plan. As soon as he looked at Noah, he could tell he didn't look like Zachary at all."There's nothing else we can do. I'm leaving."Noah grabbed him and said, "When you come back, you have to tell me what happened."He was really curious about what happened to his bastard father."Alright. Don't worry," Zachary said as he gently pulled his hand away and exited through the back door.After he left, it wasn't long before Kiki came over and knocked on the door, saying, "Zac, Noah, it's time to come out and have some fruits."Noah walked out with a serious face and said, "Kiki, Noah is asleep. I'll eat now."Kiki paus
After getting out of the car, Zachary began looking for the private hospital on Maplewood Lane.This was truly an obvious giveaway. Zachary followed Tristan's tracked location from yesterday and arrived at an inconspicuous hospital. There, he noticed quite a few bodyguards in plain clothes coming and going.Zachary carefully sneaked over. He had a small build, making it easy for him to find cover, and the bodyguards didn't consider children as their targets.Zachary arrived at the entrance of the hospital, where there was nothing blocking his view. He looked around but couldn't figure out where the back entrance of the hospital was located."How do I get in there?"Zachary leaned against a large tree and used up his watch to call Tristan.What he didn't know was that Tristan and a group of doctors were in the middle of a surgery, so his phone wasn't with them at all.No one answered the phone, so Zachary hung up.At that moment, Zachary saw a young male and female medical staff
"Whose phone is that? It's been ringing nonstop," a nurse said as she walked over.Zachary immediately hung up the phone.The ringing stopped abruptly, and as a result, the nurse did not come to check.Zachary originally wanted to go up to the third floor, but all the stairways were blocked off. Not even a fly could get in, let alone him.He had no choice but to wait in a corner on the second floor until the surgery upstairs was finished.…Over at Titan Corporation, in the Sales Department, Yvette felt uneasy all day at work for some unknown reason. She had a nagging feeling that something was going to happen, but she wasn't sure what it could be.If it were just Yara's passing, it wouldn't have caused this kind of feeling to emerge."Boss, Ms. Yandell is asking for you again," said one of Yvette's subordinates after knocking on the door to her office.Yvette snapped back to reality and asked, "Where is she now?""The office next door.""Got it. I'm heading over now. Keep u
Over at the private hospital on Maplewood Lane, Zachary stood waiting in the corner, watching the seconds tick by as the surgery upstairs showed no signs of ending.It was lunchtime, and none of the doctors even came out to eat.Noah sent him a text. "How's everything going?""There's some progress. I need to wait a bit longer before I can go back." Zachary typed in response.When he finished, he saw the previously tightly shut door upstairs open. A group of people in white coats came down, including Tristan.Tristan, with a serious expression, said, "Thank you all. I've already arranged for some catering, so please go ahead and enjoy your meal.""Thank you very much, Mr. Shaw."Zachary observed the people in the white coats, recognizing that among them were older individuals who were indeed renowned authorities in the medical field.He also recognized a brain specialist among them!What else was there that Zachary still didn't understand at this point? The person undergoing s
Zachary asked with curiosity, "Why do you feel like it's familiar? Have you seen this company before?"Noah brought his notebook over and closely examined the exterior photos of IM Enterprise."This seems to be Stinky Dad's company."Zachary was stunned. How was that possible?IM Enterprise was now a formidable presence both in Tirion and nationally. How could it possibly belong to Xavier?Xavier was visually impaired, so how was he able to run a company like this?"You must be mistaken," Zachary said."I'm pretty sure I'm right. While I may not have as good a memory for words as you do, my memory for images is decent," Noah said, pointing to a building in the picture. "Every time I've visited Stinky Dad's company, I've entered through here."Zachary looked at the place he was pointing to and realized it wasn't part of IM Enterprise. He thought it was just a coincidence that the two companies happened to be next to each other."This area doesn't fall under IM's jurisdiction, s
Gemma felt a bit uncomfortable when she saw the urgency with which Zoey entered the room and immediately inquired about her biological daughter."Who told you that?" Gemma questioned.She hadn't told Zoey about this yet.Zoey felt somewhat awkward and immediately put on a mature and understanding attitude, saying, "I'm here to tell you that I have also found some clues about my sister.""What?" Gemma exclaimed as she jumped to her feet, "What clues?""Since you last told me about finding my sister, I also had someone look into it. I discovered that she's the daughter of Georgia Dipny, who was Yara's previous caretaker," Zoey repeated what Gemma had already found out.Upon hearing this, Gemma felt her excitement die down slightly. "I also just found out about this.""Oh, so you already knew. I thought you didn't, which is why I rushed over from the company specifically to tell you," said Zoey.Gemma thought it was just a misunderstanding on her part."Zoey, thank you for being
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
