The fireworks dazzled in the sky and disappeared in an instant. A couple stood near Yvette, and the woman held the man's hand while saying, "Let's be together forever." Yvette looked at them from behind and suddenly wanted to be in a relationship.Ever since she had started to like Xavier, she had rejected every man who had been interested in her. She had never dated anyone and had married Xavier just like that. She had never experienced being in a relationship before. She looked at the dark sky and started to tear up. Then, she softly said, "Dad, I'm having regrets now."She regretted marrying Xavier and regretted insisting on choosing someone who didn't love her.The fireworks ended at 8:30 pm, and everyone left the scene. When Mark arrived to pick Yvette up, he saw her standing there alone. She looked really lonely from behind.Mark remembered how his fiancée had told him that a person had to make someone they loved feel safe. One couldn't let another woman affect their rela
After Yvette ended the call, Claude called her. She hurriedly answered, and he said, "I brought Andy to see Daphne again today."Her heart skipped a beat, and she wondered if Andy really was the one who hurt Daphne."That woman actually wanted to kill him. If it hadn't been for my men, he would've died today." Claude told Yvette that he had wanted Andy to see Daphne's true colors. So, he had kept telling his men to arrange a meet-up for them.However, the foolish man, Andy, had been unwilling to believe it. He had even gone all the way to Daphne's house that day. At first, she had pretended to comfort him. Then, she had drugged him with some sleeping pills. After he had fallen into deep sleep, she had turned on the gas to cause an accident that would kill him.Unfortunately for her, Claude's men had found out what was happening and took her away by force. Daphne had been afraid and started hurting herself. She had even accused Andy first by saying that a fanboy had trespassed
"Don't worry. I'll be responsible for everything," Claude said.Yerick knew he was pretending to be oblivious and stopped persuading him. "Do you want to hear some gossip? Xavier's sweetheart got hurt. "He's so good when managing his business, but why is he a bad judge of character? Why did he choose someone so terrible?""I'm not interested," Claude said coldly.Yerick realized he had said something he shouldn't have. After all, Daphne wasn't Xavier's only choice. He had also chosen the woman Claude loved to be his wife. So, Yerick quickly changed the topic. "When are you going back?"Claude looked out the window with his dark gaze. "I'm going to stay a little while longer."Yerick couldn't help feeling worried. The scions of the Lander family had been eagerly targeting Claude for a long time. Since he had been away for a long time, it would be bad if anyone else in the Lander family got the inheritance rights.…Daphne weakly lay on the hospital bed with bandages around
Xavier's eyes reddened as he looked for Yvette like a madman. However, he still didn't see her after searching in multiple rooms, and he was about to send some people to check the airport. When he arrived at the backyard, he saw Yvette sitting on a chair there. He finally stopped feeling anxious.Yvette couldn't sleep, so she was getting some fresh air outside. Then, she saw Xavier approaching her anxiously. She had thought that he wouldn't return that night. As they looked into each other's eyes, he ran to her and pulled her into his embrace.Yvette's body was slightly stiff under the dim light. She didn't see how red his eyes were or how anxious he was."Why aren't you in the bedroom at this hour?" Xavier asked in a deep voice.She thought he was being ridiculous. "Why must I be in the bedroom at this hour?"Xavier was stunned, and he didn't know how to answer her. He also didn't know why he had felt so anxious when he couldn't find her earlier.Before he could say anything
Xavier suppressed the intense anger in his heart. Then, he held Yvette's face in his hand and kissed her right away. Yvette finally realized that his hand was hurt earlier, and it was still bleeding. She didn't feel bad for him. Instead, she tried her best to avoid him."Did you forget what I told you earlier? I won't keep my word anymore."Xavier's kiss landed on her cheek. When he heard what she said, he started breathing heavily. He tried to explain, "I owe Daphne a favor, and I have to pay her back."When she heard that, she felt something stuck in her chest. "Then, don't you have to pay me back too?" He might think that Daphne had saved Shannon's life, but Yvette saved his life! She didn't understand why he would be so biased toward Daphne.However, Xavier didn't know what she meant by that. He thought she was referring to how he had given her the cold shoulder during their three years of marriage."I promise that we'll have a happy life together from now on." It was the
It was the first time in history that Xavier's bank account had been hacked. Mark hadn't expected it, and he had been stunned for a long time after receiving the news at midnight."Have you found out who did it?" Xavier was only surprised for a split second, and he calmed down after a short while."Not yet." Mark paused for a while and added, "It happened too quickly, and we weren't prepared for it. When we finally learned about it, the money was gone."He thought it was weird. The person who had hacked into Xavier's bank account only took more than seven billion dollars. He also wondered why the person hadn't just hacked the bank itself when they were so bold and skilled. Since they had purposely hacked Xavier's private account, they had obviously been targeting him."You have one day." Xavier hung up right after saying that.It wouldn't be that difficult to infiltrate a person's account. The difficult part would be transferring the money out of there. At that moment, only th
Kiki unwillingly answered the call."Where are you now?" Tristan said from the other side in his attractive voice."I'll be right there." After saying that, she ended the call right away and told the driver to stop by the road. Then, she entered a restaurant nearby in her high heels.Tristan had reserved the whole restaurant so they oculd have it to themselves. When Kiki entered the building, there was no one else other than Tristan and the staff. He hadn't removed the white coat on him yet as he sat by the windows. He looked as dashing as the person she liked when he spoke while looking at the view outside. She quickly retracted her gaze and secretly scolded herself for being a nymphomaniac. A man like him was inhumane on the inside.She approached him. "Mr. Shaw."Tristan returned to his senses and looked at her. She stood at five feet four inches and had her hair tied up. Since her face was a little chubby as well, she looked like a university student who had just graduated
The sun was shining on Yvette's face at Dewberry Manor. When she opened her eyes, Xavier was already back on the bed. She looked up and saw the man's dashing face. Just as she was about to get up, he pulled her back in his embrace. "Good morning." He kissed her forehead.She was stunned. It seemed like he didn't remember what she had said before. Yvette avoided him right away, and Xavier opened his eyes a little to look at her in confusion. Then, he grabbed her chin and kissed her.He wasn't as gentle this time. Instead, he was domineering and violent.Yvette blocked him off with her hand, wanting to avoid him again. However, she couldn't do it at all. Just as Xavier was about to continue what he was doing, a phone started ringing. He frowned and wondered what was going on this time.He reached for the phone and realized it was Yvette's phone ringing. He looked at it and saw that it was Kiki calling. Feeling upset, he passed Yvette the phone. "It's your friend."She said n
