When Yvette got home, it was already after 9:00 pm.She cleared out the storeroom for Xavier to stay in. It was sparsely furnished, but it did have its own bathroom. It would prevent him from bothering her and Viola.That night at 10:00 pm on the dot, a Maybach pulled over in front of the house.Xavier was sitting straight in the backseat. His obsidian eyes seemed devoid of any emotion.The driver, Martin Clarkson, got out of the car and stood outside the window. He said respectfully, "Mr. Lane, we've arrived. I'll go and ask Mrs. Lane to come and get you."As Xavier had instructed, no one except Martin had come with him.Xavier thought about what he had said to Yvette after they had left the courthouse. He had told her that he would never bother her again."Lead me there," Xavier said as he got out of the car. He didn't seem different from a normal person at all. "Alright." Martin tentatively reached out to take his arm, but Xavier refused his help. "You just need to tell me
"I'll go and have a look." Yvette went downstairs at once, but she found that the door to Xavier's room was tightly shut. Since nothing seemed to be wrong, she didn't interfere.She was sure that Xavier would leave if he couldn't stand living here.…The next day, Yvette got up early to prepare breakfast.She made blueberry pancakes on purpose, because she knew that Xavier was picky and didn't like blueberries. Zachary had inherited this trait. He refused to even touch blueberries.Viola wasn't up yet, so Yvette set a portion aside and served the rest.Xavier came out after washing up.He had changed into casual clothes, and when Yvette looked over at him, she realized that there was a large cut on his forehead.She immediately realized what had happened. That thump she had heard yesterday must have been because he had bumped his head on something.Yvette pretended not to see it and said, "We can eat breakfast now.""Okay." Xavier walked over carefully. It wasn't a big place,
Even Viola was shocked when she saw Xavier's noble-looking back. He was scrubbing the plates, which were covered in bubbles.The only time she had spoken to him before was on a phone call five years ago. Back then, she had begged him to treat Yvette well. However, he had been extremely cold. She could still remember what he had said to her back then. "Why should I care what her life is like? She deserves what's happened to her!"When Viola thought about what had happened in the past, she didn't pity him at all. In his words, he deserved everything that had happened to him.Viola's health had been fluctuating a lot recently due to the pulmonary shadow. She didn't even know how much time she had left. All she wanted to do with the time she had left was accompany Yvette.She limped into the kitchen and sneered. "Mr. Lane, if you're feeling aggrieved, feel free to go home. You're not going to get used to living with a common household like ours."When Xavier heard an old voice, he k
It was 11:00 am. Everyone from the Lane family and the shareholders were gathered at Titan Corporation's conference room. There were reporters from various news outlets as well. Everyone was waiting to see who the new CEO would be.Clifford was at the meeting, and so were Zayden, Marlene, and other members from branch families. They all wanted to benefit the most from the meeting.There were a lot of young and talented people in the family. However, most of them couldn't even compare to Xavier. But now that something terrible had happened to him, they were ready to fight for what they wanted. That was why the meeting started with a heated argument.However, Shannon wasn't at the meeting. Everyone thought she didn't want to attend it because Xavier was about to be removed from his position. Yet, ten minutes into the meeting, something happened that shocked everyone.Someone opened the door from outside, and Shannon entered the cameras' views first. Then, Xavier walked through
Kiki wanted to learn more about the situation, but Zachary unexpectedly came into the living room. So, she hurriedly ended the call."Zac, why are you back now? Did school end early today?" She had sent him back to kindergarten again.He had been standing at the door for a long time and had heard what she said on the phone. He finally realized that Xavier was staying with Yvette after becoming blind and losing his memories."Yeah, our teachers said we could go back early on Fridays because it was getting colder. Didn't they announce it in the group chat, Kiki?"She put a hand on her forehead and said, "I'm sorry. I've forgotten to check the group."Since Kiki didn't have a driver anymore, Zachary had walked home by himself. Kiki approached him and felt guilty. "Here. Let me give you a kiss as an apology."When he heard that, he looked disgusted and avoided her. "I don't want it.""Alright…" She couldn't help feeling disappointed.Zachary noticed it and said, "Kiki, if you feel
Back at Sangine County, Yvette looked at Xavier after the call ended. He was still learning braille. She couldn't help asking, "Did you hear the news earlier?""Yeah." He said without lifting his head, "Someone's impersonating me.""Don't you care?" she asked again."Yvvy, I just want to live a peaceful life with you. I also want to be good at braille so that I can take good care of you and your baby," he answered.When she heard him mentioning the baby, she instinctively touched her belly. "What baby?""My mom has already told me that you're pregnant." He faced Yvette and continued, "Don't worry. Even though I'm blind, I'm not going to make you and the baby suffer."She hadn't expected Shannon to tell him about the baby. Since Xavier couldn't remember anything at that moment, Yvette said with a scoff, "The baby I'm having isn't yours."He froze. She figured Xavier would definitely become enraged. However, he didn't become angry like she had thought. He just clenched the book in
"Don't worry. I won't let them bully me anymore."After they ended the call, Yvette called a foreign branch company. She asked them to send a bank statement and wanted to give it to Matthew as proof. He was a lawyer himself. He wasn't as great as Leonard, but he still had once been the head of Snyder Group's legal department. So, he knew what to do.By the time she was done with the call, she felt complicated and couldn't calm down for a long while. Five years ago, she had risked her life to cut ties with Yara. Now, the latter was back."Yvvy." The bedroom door hadn't been closed.Yvette hadn't even realized when Viola had come to the door. The latter was looking at her with a caring gaze. Yvette turned around when she heard Viola. "Why are you up, Viola?""I've slept for too long. Now, I can't sleep anymore." Viola smiled warmly.Yvette immediately got up to support her. "In that case, shall I accompany you on a walk?""Sure."When Viola had been standing at the door earli
Yvette had no idea that Yara had come to Sangine County and seen her living in the run-down house. Yara didn't contact Yvette either. She had only come looking for the latter because of the eight billion dollars Matthew had.A few days ago, she had received a call from Daphne, who had told her that Yvette was still alive. She had also learned that Yvette had returned to Tirion and was working with Titan Corporation.So, Yara had returned to the country, thinking that Yvette had changed. Unexpectedly, she found out that Yvette had taken Xavier to court and ended up being miserable.Seeing how close Yvette was with Viola and how they lived in a run-down house, Yara told the driver to take her back to Tirion. While she was on the road, she called Terrence. "I saw Yvette today. That money definitely wasn't hers. You have to find a way to get it."She figured Yvette wouldn't be living in an old house like that if she had eight billion dollars."Don't worry, Mom." After saying that, h
