Xavier immediately called back when he looked at that text message. However, no one answered his call.Annoyed, he deleted the message.Yvette was already lying in bed by the time Xavier returned to Dewberry Manor.After taking a shower, Xavier slipped into bed and pulled her into his arms. He started showering Yvette with kisses at the thought of Tristan having a child.Yvette couldn't stop him at all.…The next morning, Yvette listened to the sound of water from the bathroom and got out of bed. She dressed in her usual clothes, freshened up, and waited for Xavier with a small bag on her back.It wasn't long before Xavier came out, dressed in casual clothes which made him look much more relaxed. When they walked out of the manor, it was cold as a drizzle fell.As they were about to leave for Fortian Manor, Xavier's phone rang. Seeing it was Daphne calling, he hung up the call. Shortly after, a message came in. "Xav, please answer the phone. Something major happened."Yvette
At that moment, Claude and Yerick were drinking in a nearby high-rise, ready to enjoy the spectacle.Yerick thought Claude must have gone insane for risking a conflict with Xavier over a woman. "Bro, the moment we do this, it'll be hard for us to grow in this country in the future."Claude looked at him. "Is it easy now?"Yerick couldn't help but smile. Indeed, Xavier had nearly blocked off all of Claude's opportunities. Fortunately, Xavier didn't know that Yerick and Claude were partners; otherwise, Yerick would face the same fate too."I can't wait to see Xavier fall flat on his face. But that Daphne chick sure is annoying."Yerick, unlike other men, owned a film company and disliked actresses who tried to climb the social ladder by any means.The opening ceremony began at 10:00 am. Many people were invited, and the media extensively covered the event and even broadcast it live. Fans and onlookers flooded in. When Xavier arrived, the media went into a frenzy.As soon as Daphne
The opening ceremony officially began at 10:00 am. Meanwhile, as per Claude's arrangements, Yvette was already on a plane, missing the spectacle.Inside the film city, the new TV show's announcement was originally supposed to be made by David, who was directing it. However, because of Daphne's involvement, she became the star of the day. David didn't actually like her, as she was an actress without any real talent, but he had no choice but to endure due to capital influence.Dressed in a haute couture gown, Daphne took the stage to give the opening speech. Her gaze occasionally drifted toward Xavier, who was not far away.She didn't notice Andy walking toward her with a large bouquet.Donning a suit, Andy no longer had a look of admiration in his eyes when he looked at Daphne.Daphne finally noticed him when he was about 30 feet away from her. She hurriedly looked around for her bodyguards, only to find that they had already been subdued by Claude's men.Amidst the crowd's conf
If this were true, Daphne's future was definitely over. On stage, Daphne was nearing a breakdown. Andy was destroying everything she had worked so hard for!She completely lost her mind. "You bastard! You deserved to be deceived. Why don't you just go die? A man as incapable and irresponsible as you doesn't deserve me! "Do you realize this video will ruin me? How is a ruthless man like you my ex? I must have been too blind to judge people well."Tears streamed down Daphne's face, yet she continued to push all the blame onto Andy. As she accused him, she looked helplessly in Xavier's direction.Surprisingly, some fans online were actually buying her story. Comments started popping up."If I were Daphne, I wouldn't acknowledge this ex either. He's awful.""Yeah. It's a bit too extreme to get revenge after a breakup."Although a few people were swayed, most viewers could tell right from wrong. If what Andy said was true, Daphne was not only involved in multiple crimes. It was ha
Xavier's mind went blank. "Has anyone been sent to search for them?""We've searched everywhere, but there's no sign of them, sir."Xavier gripped his phone tightly. In that instant, all his hopes had been shattered. After hanging up, he calmly told the driver, "Step on it.""Yes, sir."The driver hadn't realized the gravity of the situation and was promptly ordered out of the car within a minute. Xavier took the wheel himself, flooring the gas pedal as if his life depended on it, racing toward Fortian Manor.On the way, he called his bodyguards. "Find Yvette immediately. If you can't find her, you might as well die!"Although there were only 20 minutes left in the drive, the journey felt interminably long. He kept dialing Yvette's number, but there was no answer each time. His eyes grew red.Finally arriving at Fortian Manor, Xavier rushed inside. The nanny, trembling, handed him a letter and two blood test reports. The letter was written in elegant handwriting."Xavier, I wou
Seeing Xavier in this state, Mark felt both worried and afraid. He couldn't help but console Xavier, saying, "Mr. Lane, please don't worry. Ms. Snyder and Noah might have gone out to play. We'll find them soon."It was a white lie, the kind told to comfort children.Surprisingly, Xavier believed him. "I know she wouldn't want to leave me."But his reddened eyes and the dark circles beneath them, the result of a sleepless night, betrayed him. Mark could only nod in agreement.Xavier trudged forward through the snow, his tall figure appearing particularly lonely at that moment. After a few steps, he looked back at Mark. "She said she had gotten the wrong person."Mark didn't understand. "What do you mean, sir?"Xavier didn't answer. He opened the car door and got in. Sitting alone in the car, he once again opened the letter and read the beginning lines."We both know there's no love between us, so why make each other miserable? You didn't love me. For that, I don't hate or blame y
When a person was determined to leave someone, they wouldn't appear no matter how hard the other person searched for them.Xavier understood this well.But this time was different from the last; he was unnervingly calm.Mark followed him back to Dewberry Manor, watching as he entered Yvette's room.Everything inside remained as it was, with stacks of gifts untouched.Xavier didn't say a word as he strode over to open each gift. One could only imagine how much effort he had put into acquiring the classic clothes Yvette had once desired, along with renowned luxury items."Mark, get someone to organize these things properly. When she returns, she should see them all at a glance.""Yes, sir," Mark responded before quickly summoning a temporary worker.As Xavier unwrapped the gifts, he asked, "How's the progress on Snyder Group?""Two months until completion, sir," Mark replied."Will it be finished when she returns?" Xavier asked.Mark, who was genuinely taken aback by Xavier's
If it hadn't been for Yvette, Xavier might never have imagined that Shannon's lifesaver was an imposter. Naturally, he wouldn't have investigated it at all!As for Daphne's personal life, Xavier had never cared, so he didn't even mention it.When Daphne was taken away, she howled as though she had gone mad.Mark stood on the second floor. This was the first time he witnessed Daphne, who had always been gentle, in such a state…Zachary was bored, lounging in his room in Bay Villa. He already knew Yvette and Noah had left Tirion, but Tristan wasn't willing to let him go yet. Since Tristan liked to play dad so much, Zachary didn't mind letting him experience what it was like to be a father for a few days.Suddenly, a loud "bang" echoed from upstairs.Downstairs in the living room, Tristan was chatting with Quentin, both slightly surprised.Before they could react, another series of bangs followed.Quentin narrowed his eyes slightly, a smirk playing on his lips. "Things sure fe
