As Xavier said the hurtful words, he kept kissing Yvette. He wanted nothing more than to hold her forever. "How can I make you drop the lawsuit? Tell me what you want. I'll give it to you as long as you drop it!"If the court finalized their divorce, he didn't know how else he could force her to stay by his side. "Just tell me what you want. As long as I have it, I can give it all to you!" he said over and over again.She struggled to avoid him. Seeing how she wasn't saying anything, he held her tightly and asked in a deep voice, "Did Claude contact you?"She blocked him away. "I don't want anything…"Xavier didn't believe it, so he kept hugging her and didn't let go at all. The car had been stopped by the road, and the snow kept snowing nonstop. The sky slowly got dark, but he still wouldn't let go. Whenever Yvette moved a little, he would tighten his grip around her.She looked down and said, "Xavier, have you started to like me?"She had asked him the same question before. S
Zachary planned on hacking into Xavier's private computer this time. However, he didn't expect the man to be awake at that moment.Xavier couldn't sleep and was dealing with some work when he realized he was hacked. He watched as the cursor moved on the screen by itself. Xavier narrowed his eyes and started typing swiftly on his keyboard.Meanwhile, Zachary's forehead was beaded with sweat as he sat in front of the computer. Noah was lying on his belly next to Zachary. "What's wrong, Zac?""Damn it. I've been discovered."In the end, his computer's screen went blank. He had wanted to hack into Xavier's computer, but the latter had hacked into his instead. After all, Zachary was still young, and he wasn't a match for Xavier at all. The man was able to get his IP address in no time."You sure have a death wish." When Xavier got the address, he realized it was from overseas. So, he sent it to Mark and told him to get someone to look into it.Zachary felt weak. "Damn it!"Noah was
Ray turned the car around and stopped in front of Yvette. "Get in."She got in the vehicle without any hesitation. "I'll be in your care from now on."…After seeing Ray for the first time a few days ago, Xavier had sent someone to investigate him. He had learned that Ray was previously Claude's personal bodyguard and had then had started protecting Yvette.Xavier frowned slightly when he heard from his men that Ray had followed them to Tirion."Are they together now?" He remembered how Ray looked dashing and had a determined gaze. In fact, the latter didn't look like a bodyguard."Mrs. Lane is staying in Kiki's house, and he's staying in his car," Xavier's man answered.Xavier's eyebrows relaxed a little. "Alright. Keep watching them.""Yes, sir."Yvette kept quiet about suing him for a divorce. No one else knew what was going on, and the people who knew didn't dare to tell anyone else about it. After all, it involved Xavier and the whole Lane Group.However, when it was alm
Yvette suddenly felt like her life was a joke. Even though she had been married to Xavier for years, she had never asked the Lanes for anything. Instead, she had given Xavier everything she had. But in the end, they were afraid that she had her eyes on their assets.It was ridiculous!She turned back to look at Shannon. "That'll depend on the judge's decision."She didn't want the money. However, she didn't want Shannon to be happy at that moment. As expected, the latter was scared. As she watched Yvette leave, she anxiously called Xavier.Xavier and Yvette's marriage had lasted for eight years. Throughout the years, Lane Group had grown way more than expected. It had started as a local enterprise and had become one of the best companies in the world. If Yvette were to have half of it, she would gain at least hundreds of billions."Xav, where are you now?" Shannon hurriedly asked when the call was connected."At the company."He had seen the news as well, and he had told som
Before they went to court, everyone in Tirion had already found out about Xavier and Yvette's divorce. Tristan, Quentin, and the others were betting on who would win the lawsuit."Xav's gonna win without saying," said a rich playboy. They were all Xavier's fanboys, and they would do anything to support him.Quentin smiled and said, "I'm betting on Yvette.""You're always betting on odds, Quentin." No one was surprised. Then, they looked at Tristan, who was distracted at the side. "Tris, who are you placing your money on?""Do you even have to ask? He's definitely rooting for Xav. Mr. Shaw hates Deaf Yvvy the most," someone said.Suddenly, Tristan looked toward the person with a cold gaze and said, "Do not call her that from now on."Since Xavier wasn't around, he didn't want to hide the truth anymore. When he got serious, everyone else stopped talking and didn't dare to make any joke casually.Quentin took a sip of his beer and lightened the mood. "He's right. After all, she's X
The news about Xavier and Yvette's divorce lawsuit of the century was exceptionally trending on the internet. Reporters from every major media company were standing outside the court, and they all wanted to be the first to report the latest breaking news.After Kiki calmed herself down in the court, she handed the judge all the information she had about the couple's broken marriage. Then, she asked Xavier, "Mr. Lane, is it true that you never had any sexual intercourse with my client throughout your three years of marriage?"He frowned slightly. "Yes.""Mr. Lane, is it also true that you had inflicted cold violence on my client after your marriage? In other words, did you purposely give her the cold shoulder?" she asked again.Xavier looked at Yvette and didn't lie. "That's right.""Mr. Lane, please take a look at these photos. Ever since your first love, Daphne Reyes, returned, you seldom returned home. Can you confirm if that is true?" Kiki showed photos of Xavier and Daphn
Yvette forced herself to calm down and looked at the photo evidence from afar. She couldn't see what was on them clearly.Leonard brought some of the photos to her. They were showing how she seduced Xavier in the past when she was trying to get pregnant.Yvette was shocked, and she clenched her fists. She had never expected what she had done would affect her like this. Furthermore, she couldn't believe that Xavier would have photos of those moments.Kiki shot her an assuring glance. Those photos only proved that there was love between Xavier and Yvette. However, there was one more criterion to have a successful divorce, and that was domestic violence. Xavier's cold violence fitted the category.However, Leonard denied any proof of such violence immediately. "Your honor, Ms. Torres mentioned how my client had performed cold violence on Ms. Snyder. I would like to ask everyone this—how is cold violence defined? Is there any scientific definition?"As he spoke, he coldly looked at
Xavier pinched the bridge of his nose as he asked Leonard in the lounge, "Where did you get those photos?" When he had been with Yvette back then, he hadn't let anyone take photos of them at all.Leonard didn't hide the truth at all. "From the surveillance cameras."Ever since he had lost a lawsuit once, he hadn't taken part in a fight he wasn't confident about winning.Xavier was in disbelief. There were so many photos. It wouldn't have been easy for Leonard to get all of them from the cameras in just a short amount of time."I'm sorry, Ms. Torres. You can't go in there.""I'm not going in. Please tell Leonard to come out. I want to see him."They heard Kiki speaking with the bodyguard outside. Leonard stood up. "I'll handle this.""Sure." Xavier didn't stop him. He knew how ambitious Leonard was, and the latter definitely wouldn't let a woman stop him from getting all the potential fame. The lawyers from both parties would definitely be the center of the spotlight during the
