Xavier let go of Yvette and returned to his usual cold self. She thought he really had been putting on an act and figured he had stopped doing it after seeing how resolute she was. So, she stood up and said, "I'll prepare another divorce lawsuit."After saying that, she grabbed her bag and left the ward. When she reached the hallway, Shannon was waiting for her there. Seeing that Yvette had come out, Shannon blocked her path. "Look at how pitiful Xav is. Are you still going to get a divorce?"Yvette knew she couldn't go soft at this moment, so she looked at Shannon coldly."When my dad got into an accident and passed away, my family slowly fell into despair. My hearing impairment got worse, and I was diagnosed with major depressive disorder. Did you guys ever consider my feelings back then?"You knew perfectly well that Xavier had never touched me, but you kept forcing me to take fertility drugs. Did you consider how I felt back then?"Shannon didn't know how to refute that, b
News of Xavier losing his sight in the accident soon broke out, and various media outlets started reporting on it a few days later. Titan Corporation's stocks fell greatly, and the shareholders started panicking in an instant. Although Clifford was old, he had no choice but to take charge given the situation.Kiki was visiting Yvette when she saw the news on the TV. She lamented, "I would never have seen this coming. He was still doing great a few days ago. Now, he's actually blind. Who's going to take over his company?"Yvette prepared some fruits and placed them in front of her. "Kiki, have you prepared the new lawsuit?" Kiki looked like she was in a spot. "Yvvy, I'm sorry.""What's wrong?""Your divorce lawsuit with Xavier got out of hand previously, and it made the news. So, my dad saw it." She sighed. "He found out that I had gotten a job. In order to make me compromise, he pulled some strings and got my law license revoked."When Yvette heard that, she couldn't help fe
Yvette watched them from not too far away. Mark walked toward her after saying something to Xavier. He stood in front of her, and the eyes behind his glasses were slightly red."Ms. Snyder, don't you think you're being too much now?"When he suddenly blamed her, she felt a little hesitant. Mark turned around to look at Xavier and continued, "Mr. Lane has become like this because he wanted to save you. How could you take advantage of his amnesia to get a divorce?"When Yvette came in and saw them together, she thought Xavier was feigning amnesia again. Her gaze darkened. "What do you mean by taking advantage? I had already applied for a divorce way before he lost his memories."After saying that, she walked past Mark and approached Xavier. "I'm here, Xavier."When he heard the familiar voice, his heart skipped a beat. Xavier stood up and purposely avoided facing her. He shouted, "Mark."Mark quickly approached him. "I'm here, Mr. Lane.""Let's go to the counter," Xavier coldly
In the end, Yvette and Xavier didn't manage to get a divorce.Both Xavier and Mark were stunned. Yvette had always been gentle. However, she was actually as fierce as a tiger that day.They only managed to get in the car with the bodyguards' protection. As they drove, there were some people following them as well. Who knew what the news would say about them this time?Yvette's eyes turned slightly red as she sat in the car. Xavier sat next to her with his hands placed on his thighs, feeling uneasy. "You sure have been through a lot in the past," he suddenly said after a long while.When she heard that, she pursed her lips and said nothing. Since he couldn't see or hear her, it felt like his heart was pierced by a knife."From what I can remember, you loved me a lot. I also…" He didn't say he loved her as well. That was because he had heard what she had said at that courthouse that day. All she had were complaints about him. It turned out that he had treated her badly in the pa
Xavier didn't allow anyone to stay in the manor, and Mark had no choice but to obey his wishes. He arranged for someone to stand guard outside so that they could go in at once if anything happened.Shannon had no time to look after Xavier because the internal conflict in Titan Corporation had become very intense. Zayden had joined forces with a few old shareholders and made the decision to call for a shareholders' meeting. They wanted to depose Xavier from his position as chairman of the board. Clifford was getting old, and even though he wanted to help, he no longer had enough strength to do so.Besides, Clifford didn't want Lane Group to continue being controlled by a blind man. Shannon was facing opposition from all sides.At 9:00 am the next day, another shocking news article was released. The title read, "Xavier Lane Goes Blind and Rejects Wife's Request for Divorce."The news report went on at length about how Xavier, who had once been one of the top big shots in the busi
Yvette had also seen the news online, but it didn't bother her. She felt that it was more important to live her own life well.Although she couldn't get divorced, now that Xavier had lost his memories, she decided to go abroad to see Viola, Noah, and Zachary.The day before she set out, she got a call from Claude. "Yvvy, Viola's been admitted to hospital." Claude sounded very serious.Yvette's chest tightened. "What happened?""The doctor says that she's suffering from issues that commonly affect the elderly, but her scans also showed a shadow in her lungs, which indicates abnormalities." Claude paused and said, "At most, she'll only make it past the New Year."There were only two more months left until the New Year.Yvette swayed and almost fell to the ground. "I'll come back at once—"Claude cut her off. "Yvvy, I can tell that Viola wants to go back to her hometown."People who left their homes would always want to return in the end. Most older people would never admit that t
Xavier kept to his word; he hadn't contacted Yvette since the two of them had left the courthouse. He didn't mention her to anyone around him, either.It was late at night, but there were no lights on in Dewberry Manor at all. Suddenly, there was a loud bang as something made of glass shattered on the floor.A bodyguard immediately tried to go in. "Mr. Lane, are you alright?""Get out!" a voice ordered coldly.The bodyguard retreated at once.Xavier stood in the dining room. His hand was bleeding from where a shard of glass had cut him. He didn't seem to feel pain as he felt around and turned on the tap and let the cold water wash over his wounded hand. Over the past few days, he hadn't just smashed things; he had also fallen down several times.Luckily, he had memorized where everything was in the house, and he wouldn't get it wrong again.When the wound finally stopped bleeding, Xavier turned off the tap and left the kitchen. He went to the living room alone and sat on the
Xavier had become even more prone to anger after losing both his sight and his memories. Apart from Yvette, he wasn't polite to anyone. When Shannon thought about his attitude toward her just now, she felt very anxious. She asked Mark, "What do you think we should do to get him to accept other people?"Mark didn't know how to answer. "Apart from dating Daphne and marrying Yvette, Mr. Lane has had no other women in his life." Xavier had always been focused more on his career. He had never cared at all about relationships and love.Shannon had completely forgotten about Daphne and only remembered her at Mark's mention of her. "Oh, right. Where is Daphne now?"Mark gulped and only answered after a moment, "She's at Tirion Asylum."…In Tirion Asylum's director's office, Daphne stood in her hospital gown. Her eyes were blank, and her hair was a mess. When she saw Shannon, fear flashed in her eyes. She thought that Shannon had come to condemn her, so she immediately started to pl
