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
"You must find her before Gemma this time, and once you do, find a way to obtain her biological sample," Zoey instructed.Zoey planned to first conduct a paternity test. If Xandra wasn't Gemma's daughter, then everything would be fine.If she was Gemma's biological daughter, then they couldn't blame her for being rude."Yes, yes," Elijah repeatedly said on the phone.Zoey then ended the call and went back to sleep.…After work, Yvette drove herself home.She didn't return to Dewberry Manor first. Instead, she drove to the funeral parlor that Terrence had mentioned, where preparations for Yara's funeral were already underway.Yvette stood from a distance, gazing at the black-and-white photo of Yara for an unknown amount of time before finally driving away.After Yvette arrived home, Kiki rushed up to her and asked, "How's work going?""Things are going well. I've planned out my work for the next few days, so I'll just be staying at home and not going anywhere," Yvette replied
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
