Kiki sensed something was wrong and immediately called Zachary's teacher. "Hello, Zac's teacher. Can you let Zac answer the phone?""Is this Zac's mom? Zac's dad came by earlier and took him home," the teacher said.Dad?Was it Xavier? No way! Xavier didn't even know Zachary was his child!Could it be...Kiki was stunned."Hello, ma'am? Are you still there?""How could you let someone else take my son? What if he was a bad person? Who was he? What did he look like?" Kiki shouted angrily into the phone.If Zachary went missing, how would she explain it to Yvette? This teacher was too irresponsible!Kiki knew Yvette cared about her sons very much. She feared even the slightest mishap might befall them.Now, Zachary had been taken away, and Kiki hadn't even known about it.Ignoring the personal items thrown on the ground, Kiki quickly hailed a cab and told the driver to go to the international kindergarten.The teacher was also confused. "You mean you don't know what the child
Even as Tristan carried Zachary over his shoulder and strode into the villa, the latter was completely unperturbed.He even sneered. "Mister, if you really are my dad, don't you feel ashamed?"Tristan stopped walking. "What do you mean?""My mom raised me all by herself without ever hitting me, and now that you've just found me, you want to hit me! Don't you feel ashamed?" Zachary's big eyes were full of sincerity.Tristan looked into his beautiful, deep eyes and was momentarily stunned.Zachary was still uncomfortable with being carried, but he calmly continued, "I always thought my dad was…" He paused as he recalled Malcolm's description of Zayne. "A superhero who saves the world. He would appear whenever I was bullied and chase away everyone who bullied me. I never thought the one bullying me would be my superhero."A superhero who saved the world?Tristan's anger instantly dissipated.However, upon recalling Zachary's earlier words, he still carried him into the children's
Xavier, who was at Dewberry Manor, was still angry and giving Yvette the cold shoulder because of what had happened yesterday.Once, the thing Yvette had worried about the most was Xavier ignoring her. But now, she wanted nothing more for him to do that.She had just finished arranging her music and sent it to a company overseas today. She had also received incredibly good news—her company had successively received several anonymous investments totaling to billions of dollars.The investors had expressed their admiration for her and stated that more investments would follow as long as they could use her music. Such high royalties were beyond Yvette's wildest dreams.Of course, she didn't know that Xavier had lost over seven billion dollars from his private account.Her phone rang at that moment. Seeing that it was a call from Kiki, she unknowingly glanced upstairs.Xavier was still in the study, working. Apart from when he had his meals, he hadn't come down all day. He'd had a co
Tristan remained silent.Before he could respond, he saw Zachary standing in front of him, handing over a piece of paper. It wrote, "If you want to keep me, I need 100 million dollars in allowance every day."Tristan's lips curled into a cold smile.Zachary claimed that he wasn't Tristan's son, and yet he was asking him for an allowance. And 100 million dollarsat that! The kid probably hadn't even seen 1,000 dollars before.Tristan answered Yvette on the other end of the call, "I'll look into it. If he's not my son, I'll return him to Kiki and apologize."After hanging up, Tristan looked at Zachary and remarked, "You've got quite the appetite. 100 million dollars a day? Can you even spend it all?""Mister, surely it's not because you don't have money?"Tristan's mouth twitched slightly. 100 million dollars? Of course, he could come up with that."If I give it to you, what should you call me?"Zachary's eyes curved into a smile. "I don't answer hypothetical questions. Also, I'm
Not only Kiki's private residence, but Hexim Pass as well, was under extensive investigation. It was fortunatethat Tristan had taken Zachary away, because even the maids at Kiki's villa were being taken away for private questioning one by one.Xavier gazed at Yvette. "How many days left?"Yvette was momentarily puzzled before understanding his question. "Ten days."To be precise, excluding today, she had three days left before leaving."I've booked a flight to Tenko. We're leaving tonight," Xavier said."Now?" Yvette's eyes were filled with surprise. She had thought Xavier had given up on acting like a real couple. "When will we come back?" "The day after tomorrow."Xavier had found Yvette's previous travel plans, including visiting Tenko to see the exotic nightscape and the places depicted by her favorite cartoonist."Alright," Yvette replied. Returning the day after tomorrow was perfect timing. "I'll go pack.""No need. Everything is prepared over there.""Okay."Yvette h
Xavier's expression changed slightly. "I'm not returning them. Take them or leave them," he uttered, kicking one of the gifts aside as he headed to the bathroom.Once inside, he felt an intense itchiness all over his body. He took two more antihistamines before showering. Meanwhile, Yvette sat outside, observing the room. There must have been at least a hundred gifts in there.After marrying Xavier, she had used most of her personal assets to quietly support his company, so she hadn't been able to afford many things she had liked. She would make lists, noting down the things she wanted and their prices. Looking back, she realized how foolish and deeply in love she had been. Xavier could easily afford everything with a snap of his fingers, yet she had been saving money to ensure his business ventures went smoothly.Xavier took a long time in the shower. When he finally emerged, Yvette was shocked to see his face and body covered in hives."Xavier, what's wrong?" she asked."It'
Xaver paused when Yvette quickly moved away from him. He then gently reassured her. "I'm fine now. Why did you sit here all night, silly?"He had asked Mark to bring Yvette into the ward yesterday, only for her to adamantly refuse him.His gentle tone made Yvette doubt herself again, wondering if she had misunderstood everything. If they were twins, their names couldn't be exactly the same, right? And from what she knew of Xavier now, he would never tolerate being replaced by someone else, let alone be a substitute for someone."Xavier, we've known each other since childhood, haven't we?" Yvette asked.Thinking that she was still in shock due to what happened to him last night, he squatted down and hugged her. "Of course. We've known each other for over a decade now."Tears welled up involuntarily in Yvette's eyes. "Yes… It's been more than a decade..."How could she have mistaken him for somebody else throughout all those years?Mark was standing not far away from them. This
After Daphne was discharged from the hospital in Tirion, she had to prepare for the opening ceremony of her new TV show tomorrow. She sent Xavier several messages, but he did not reply.Yvonne walked over. "Daph, all the media arrangements for tomorrow are set. I guarantee your new show will be a hit even before it airs.""Yvonne, thank you," Daphne uttered with a sweet smile."No need for thanks between us," Yvonne replied before an idea hit her. "For your opening ceremony, you can invite a few people, right? I invited Yvette for you. Let her see that she can't match up to you now."Daphne didn't respond directly but said, "There's no need for that. Her family went bankrupt, and she's divorced. She's already pitiful as is.""You're too kind. Don't worry. I've got a plan to teach her a lesson and make sure you get your revenge." Yvonne didn't expect Yvette would accept the invitation. Daphne didn't say anything more. Yvonne said, "I'm going to the restroom. Please let my boyfr
