When Clifford heard this, he couldn't help but feel puzzled. "Who does Xavier have an eye on?" he asked."Isn't it obvious? It's Jeana. You didn't know this, but when Xav and Yvette got divorced, he even took Jeana with him," Marlene said.Clifford never expected that Xavier and Jeana would be interested in each other.After all, the Churchill family today wasn't what they used to be and had fallen into decline.Jeana's parents had passed away long ago, and she didn't have a supportive family background, which actually made her somewhat unsuitable to be Xavier's match."Grandpa, you watched Jeana grow up. She's beautiful, kind, considerate, and respectful. With her taking care of Xav now that he can't see, we can be more at ease."Marlene had her own plans—Jeana, without power or influence, was easy to handle. Once Jeana married Xavier, Marlene and Zayden wouldn't have to worry about Xavier anymore and could focus on dealing with Jeremiah and his wife.Clifford felt a bit intrig
"You guys knew all along that the surgery was risky, didn't you?" Yvette pressed.Mark remained silent for a while before responding, "All surgeries carry risks. You are already divorced from Mr. Lane, and there is no relation between you two anymore, so I don't have to answer too many of your questions."He had promised Xavier that if the surgery failed, there was no need to tell Yvette the truth, as there was no point in making her worry.Before Yvette could ask anything more, Mark interrupted her, saying, "Lillian has a kind heart and loves to help others, but you can't take advantage of being her landlord to make all sorts of demands on her.""Please, don't make Lillian contact me again!" Mark said as he hung up the phone.Since he said it like that, Yvette felt embarrassed to contact him again. He wouldn't need to force any explanations again.Yvette lowered her hand, with disappointment clear in her eyes.When Lillian saw her like this, she couldn't help but ask, "What's g
"With your promise, I'm relieved." Clifford showed a gentle smile. "When you meet Xav later, make sure not to be scared and take good care of him."Jeana nodded earnestly. "Yes. Don't worry, Grandpa Lane."The vehicle started and headed toward the manor where Xavier was.Jeremiah had been waiting there early because he was worried something might go wrong.Jeana was surprisingly willing to care for Xavier in his current state.Once the car arrived, Jeana helped Clifford get out of the vehicle."Jerry, I've brought Jeana. Come on, let's go see Xav together.""Okay."Jeremiah walked in the lead.Jeana found it a bit odd that Xavier had moved to such a remote area.She didn't ask any questions and followed Clifford, entering the inner rooms one after the other.At that moment, Xavier was still lying asleep in the bedroom.Outside the room, a group of maids was cleaning up the things he had broken yesterday and tidying up the tables and chairs."Has Xavier woken up?" Jeremiah
Jeana was ultimately thrown out by Xavier. When she got outside, her face was covered in bruises."What's going on? What happened to Xav?" Jeana shouted.The maids who had just been scolded by her lowered their heads, stifled their laughter, and remained silent.Jeana was so angry that her eyes began to redden with rage. It was only at that moment she noticed that the maids were also somewhat injured. However, they were in a much better state than she was—at least their faces weren't harmed.Jeana was almost on the verge of being disfigured just now."Speak up. Do you not believe I could have Mr. Lane Senior fire you?" Jeana threatened when she saw them staying silent.A maid approached and replied to her, "Ms. Churchill, when Mr. Jeremiah brought Mr. Xavier here, he was already like this. It seems he has gone insane."Gone insane?Jeana couldn't believe it—the man she had liked for so long had now gone mad.It was no wonder Clifford kept reminding her to take good care of Xav
When Jeremiah heard this, he remained silent.Yvette looked at him desperately. "Please let me see him."Xavier had become what he was, and she was really worried about him.Yvette had made up her mind that if Jeremiah didn't agree, she would go to Shannon.Shannon was the children's grandmother. If Yvette wanted to see Xavier, she would probably allow it."Alright, but make sure you stay safe," Jeremiah conceded."Okay." Yvette nodded.Jeremiah added, " I'll go with you after work. His condition is really unstable right now, and he's almost hit all the maids at the manor.""Alright, I'll leave it to you then. I'm heading to work now," Yvette said."Okay."Jeremiah watched her leave, and after she was gone, he called the maids at the manor to ask how Xavier was doing.The maids informed him that Xavier was still as irritable as ever, often resorting to violence. Jeana had been beaten by him and had dirty water thrown all over her.Jeremiah, after hearing this, couldn't help
"As long as you treat Xav well, I'll make sure you're taken care of," Shannon said, patting Jeana on the shoulder.Jeana's eyes were filled with excitement. "Yes, Aunt Shannon."When she healed from her injuries, she would have forgotten the pain.What she didn't realize was that when night fell, her nightmares would begin.Shannon saw that Jeana was present, and after seeing how attentive Jeana was to Xavier, she felt reassured and decided to leave.Once Shannon left, Yvette entered the manor with Jeremiah.The butler immediately came out to greet them, and upon seeing Yvette next to Jeremiah, he knew to be discreet. "Mr. Jeremiah.""Is my brother awake?" Jeremiah asked.The butler shook his head. "Not yet."Jeremiah then led Yvette inside.Jeana had also noticed Yvette approaching, and a hint of coldness flashed in her eyes. Why was she here too?Jeana found it difficult to do anything to Yvette because Jeremiah was present."Jeremiah," she greeted while pretending she ha
Georgia was really unable to find someone to help her. After she thought about it, she figured that Yvette, being a well-known screenwriter, should know quite a few people.Yvette didn't agree to help her; instead, she asked, "What kind of favor?""A few days ago, my son-in-law, grandson, and daughter went on a trip out of town. They were supposed to come back yesterday, but they suddenly disappeared. I've been unable to reach them since last night, and I don't know what to do. Reporting it to the police hasn't helped."Georgia was puzzled about how an entire family could go on a trip and then, upon returning, completely disappear with no way to contact them.After listening, Yvette said, "I'm sorry, but for something like finding people, I think you should contact the police."She wasn't the kind of person who went out of her way to help everyone. Besides, it would be difficult for her to find out where the family had gone.If she agreed to help Georgia but ended up not finding
Yvette was worried that there might be some misunderstanding, so she didn't tell her the full truth. "Not yet. I'm just asking to see if you've offended anyone. If there are any updates, I'll let you know.""Alright, thank you so much."Georgia felt at a loss for how to properly express her gratitude to Yvette other than simply saying "thank you"."No need to thank me. I haven't found them yet."After Yvette hung up the phone, she instructed Ray to keep a close watch on Zoey's private villa.Honestly, she was curious about why Zoey wanted to take away Xandra and her family.Georgia wasn't really her enemy, so there was no need to harm a member of Georgia's family.…On the other end, inside Zoey's private villa, Xandra, along with her husband and son, had their phones taken away. After being brought to this location, they were locked in and unable to go anywhere.There was a security guard at the entrance, and someone would bring them food.Tonight, when the person delivering
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
