With this promise, Andy was willing to risk everything.He stepped on the gas. When the road was clear of other cars and pedestrians, he drove straight toward Yvette's car.Both Yvette and her driver sensed something was wrong.The driver quickly turned the steering wheel, trying to avoid the collision. However, the cab sped up and crashed into them with full force. There was a loud bang, and the severely dented car flipped over. The driver was knocked out instantly.While Yvette sustained a head injury, she was still conscious. She could see blood all over her face. Even her vision started to turn red.She used all her strength to try and open the car door to crawl out. But then a man with a baseball cap and a scruffy beard appeared in front of her. He had a twisted expression on his face."Help… Help me…" Thinking that it was just a traffic accident, Yvette instinctively asked him for help.Andy didn't hesitate to lock the car door before he coldly stared at her. "I'm not he
These words suddenly snapped Andy out of his trance. He punched the glass in frustration.Yvette shrank back in fear but tried to stay calm. "If you don't believe me, call her and tell her I'm dead."Without thinking much, Andy picked up his phone and dialed Daphne's number. To his frustration, he couldn't get through to her.Daphne had blocked Andy."It looks like she's afraid she'll be suspected if she has anything to do with you. "Get me and the driver out now, and I won't press charges. At most, it will be considered an accident due to a driving mistake. We're unharmed, and you won't face criminal charges."Andy's mind was in chaos. He wasn't sure whether to believe Yvette or not.Meanwhile, Yvette was barely holding on. Her voice was growing weaker.It suddenly grew noisy around them. Andy then saw something that made him dash right out of there.As Yvette's vision blurred, she vaguely saw a tall figure approaching her.She couldn't clearly see who the man was before sh
It took Yvette a while to fully wake up and realize that her forehead, hands, and legs were wrapped in bandages.The sky outside was darker than usual in the early morning hours.The lights in her hospital room were still on, and when she turned her head, she saw someone slumped over next to her."Claude..." she whispered, her lips pale.Claude, who was a light sleeper, woke up quickly upon hearing her softly calling his name."You're awake. Are you still in pain?" he asked.The doctor had told him that her injuries weren't too severe because she had been in the back seat.Yvette shook her head. "The driver..."Claude reassured her, saying, "He's fine too, thanks to timely treatment." Yvette felt relieved and then asked Claude what had happened after she had lost consciousness. Claude explained that shortly after she passed out, he had arrived with his people and captured Andy, who had tried to escape."Xavier was also there. He's the one who brought you to the hospital,"
Claude understood what Yvette meant."Rest up. Leave this to me," he said.After ensuring Yvette was stable and having the doctor check her again, confirming she was okay, Claude bid her goodbye and left.…When Xavier returned after doing what he had to, Claude was already gone.Tristan had come with him. Since a nurse was changing Yvette's bandages, they stood outside in the hospital garden."How did the car accident happen all of a sudden?" Tristan asked, puzzled. "Did they find out who and what car caused it?"Xavier told him about how Claude had found the driver first and taken care of it.Tristan was taken aback. "That guy's got some skills. He got ahead of you!"Upon hearing that, Xavier suddenly asked, "Do you think he's better than me?" He couldn't help but think about how Yvette had contacted Claude first when she had been in trouble.Tristan paused for a moment. When he realized what Xavier meant, he chuckled."Xav, how can he compare to you? No matter how capable
Yvette woke up drenched in sweat. Her body was trembling.In the dim light, she saw that Xavier had already rushed over from the adjacent room. His tension eased slightly when he saw that she was unharmed."What's wrong?" he asked.Yvette's eyes were red. "I dreamt that I died." It had felt so real.The mention of death touched a nerve in Xavier. He stepped forward and wrapped her in his arms, gently patting her back. He tried to keep his voice as soft as possible as he said, "You didn't die. I'm here." He reassured her, pausing before adding, "Don't be afraid."It took Yvette a while to fully return to reality after the nightmare. She looked up at Xavier, but the light was too dim for her to see his face clearly."Thank you," she whispered, then gently pulled away from his embrace and lay back down in bed. Her polite and distant demeanor made Xavier feel uncomfortable. This time, instead of returning to the other room, he pulled back the covers and lay down beside her, holdi
Andy had still been harboring hope for Daphne until Claude's men took him to the address Daphne had sent him.When Andy saw a group of undercover police officers hiding in the bushes, he sat in the black car in disbelief."See? That woman never intended to save you. Not only that, she's been using you," said one of the men guarding Andy.Andy shook his head. "I don't believe it. Maybe her phone was tapped!"The man couldn't believe that Andy was so stupid to refuse to accept the truth even at this point.Claude had ordered them to make sure Andy saw Daphne's true colors. Even though Andy hadn't seen through her yet, Claude's men could take it slow. They had plenty of time anyway.The car soon drove away. Thus, team of police officers who had been sent to capture Andy returned empty-handed.Daphne had expected Andy to be caught, but once again, he had managed to escape.As worry seized her, she was at a loss for what to do next....Yvette returned to Dewberry Manor after she
Xavier didn't know why he had suddenly gave such an order. Perhaps he wanted to cheer Yvette up after her accident. Or perhaps he wanted to make amends for the past. Perhaps it was an attempt to persuade her to withdraw her lawsuit.Luther was puzzled. "Is it that urgent, sir? What kind of flowers do you need? Are we expecting special guests?"Xavier stood by the window, looking at the delicate figure outside. "Just plant whatever. The more the better.""Understood," Luther replied, unsure of exactly how many flowers Xavier meant by "the more the better".Dewberry Manor was a manor Xavier had commissioned to be built, and Luther knew the approximate size of the garden. He immediately contacted suppliers to purchase a variety of flowers.Late into the night, all the flowers available in Tirion, whether water lilies or various terrestrial blooms available at this time of year, were brought in.Throughout the night, trucks drove toward Dewberry Manor. By the time they arrived, Yve
After chatting with Kiki, Yvette put away her phone and decided to leave the flowers and go to the music room to play the piano.After some time, she felt restless, so she left the music room and went outside.There, she spotted Luther, whom she hadn't seen in years. The elderly man was dressed in a tuxedo. With his distinguished white hair, he looked sharp as he instructed the workers. When Luther noticed Yvette, he visibly paused before regaining his composure and walking toward her."Ms. Snyder, have we disturbed you?" he asked politely.But what followed cut deeper than any profanity-laden insult. "I thought you wouldn't hear us, considering your disability. "Nevertheless, I must advise you. It's ten in the morning. Other upper-class ladies wouldn't be lounging around at home. "If you have nothing to do, I suggest you leave and stop disrupting the workers. What do you think, Ms. Snyder?"In the past, Yvette had thought that Luther genuinely wanted to teach her how to be
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
