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
After Yvette had married Xavier, he had told Mark to give her a card. There had been 1.2 million dollars in it as well.Back then, Mark had said, "This has 1.2 million dollars. Mr. Lane is giving this to you as your monthly allowance. He also said his money doesn't grow on trees. So, you'll have to record how much you've spent whenever you buy something."When she had agreed to let Xavier stay with her, she had thought about it. She wanted him to experience everything she had faced with him and the Lanes in the past. That way, he could have a taste of his own medicine and restore bits and pieces of his memories.She figured his pride would definitely be hurt, especially since he liked maintaining his reputation. After all, he now had to depend on a woman and report everything to her.However, when he accepted the card, he didn't look angry at all. Instead, it looked like he was smiling as well. "Yvvy, let me know if you need anything. I'll buy everything together."Yvette was st
Yvette hadn't expected Xavier to buy everything so soon and even prepared breakfast. She took a closer look at the food. There was oatmeal, bread, and milk. There were also fruits, and the table was basically full.When Xavier heard her footsteps, he looked toward her. "I didn't know what you liked, so I decided to buy a little bit of everything. Also, here are the receipts."She looked at the receipts he gave her and was surprised that he had actually listened to her. "Aren't you blind? How did you buy these?"Xavier placed a glass of milk in front of her and said, "I can key in text on my phone using voice input."Yvette didn't suspect him and drank some milk. It was still warm. Then, she took a few bites of bread and purposely made things difficult for him. "I'm not used to having delivered breakfast."When he heard that, he was stunned. "But I don't know how to cook."He had tried making his own breakfast that morning, but he hadn't known where to start at all.When Mark had
Zachary had followed Malcolm to Lane Mansion that day. He had said that he wanted to see his so-called father that Shannon had found. However, he was actually there to see who had replaced Xavier. That was why he had purposely made Malcolm bring him to where Xavier had been staying before."I guess he's not coming today, Zac. We won't be seeing him this time." Malcolm sighed. He had originally been planning on punishing "Zachary's dad" with him for abandoning his wife and son.Zachary didn't mind about it, but he pretended to care. "If you see him one day, you have to call me.""Alright." Malcolm patted his chest and said, "When I become the CEO of Lane Group one day, I'll get someone to punish him."He wasn't even a grown up yet, but he was showing potential to be a tyrant in the future. Who knew where he got that personality from?Zachary continued giving him perfunctory responses. Suddenly, his gaze fell on a tall man nearby. Jeremiah was wearing a black coat as he stood ta
Right after Malcolm said that, he started regretting it. However, since he had said it, he couldn't go back on his word. So, he secretly took Zachary to a secluded area and entered Xavier's place through the side door.When they reached there, Malcolm's heart was pounding, and he looked pleased. "See? This is my uncle's house."Zachary took a look at their surroundings and noticed a luxuriously decorated room on the east side. The pillars were made of wood. Suddenly, he put his hand on his stomach. "Ah! My tummy is hurting. I can't hold it anymore. I need a toilet!"After saying that, he immediately ran to the east before Malcolm could say anything.Malcolm instantly became anxious. "You can't go there! That's where my uncle lives!"Right after he said that, a housekeeper approached him. When she saw it was Malcolm, she couldn't help scolding him. "Where are you here, Mr. Malcolm? Mr. Lane dislikes children, so you have to leave now. Otherwise, I'll have to call him."Malcolm
"Kiki, why didn't you knock again?" Zachary looked angry."Oh! I'm sorry. I've forgotten about it." Kiki approached him and said, "Zac, do you remember what you promised me before?"He sighed. "Of course. You wanted me to pretend to be your son and help you get revenge on your ex-boyfriend, right? I'm the best when it comes to revenge. I can even find you a husband and get him to be my dad."Kiki's eyes widened as she stared at him. "Really?"He hadn't thought that she would actually believe him. In order to ensure her happiness, he patted his chest and said, "Of course! That man will definitely be better than your previous boyfriend.""How much do you want?" Kiki asked solemnly. She figured a male escort who was more handsome than Leonard wouldn't be cheap. She couldn't believe that Zachary would have connections for this at such a young age."You don't have to worry about that. We should get some sleep now. Good night." Zachary lay in bed and covered his head with his blanket.
When Jeana found out, she clicked her tongue and said, "How shameless. She's already divorced from Xav and yet is still sleeping together."Yvette heard murmuring outside and got up to check it out. She saw Jeana and a few maids badmouthing her.She was speechless. What could Xavier possibly do to her in his current state?"You don't like me sleeping with Xavier. How about you take my place?" Yvette stood upstairs and spoke loudly.Upon hearing this, Jeana's expression shifted immediately.If she were to sleep next to Xavier, she definitely wouldn't live to see the sunrise tomorrow."I'm not like you. I'm not married to Xav yet, so nothing will happen between us," Jeana said with feigned innocence.Yvette laughed. "Then, after you marry him, would you dare to share a bed with him and have something happen?"Jeana was at a loss for words once again. She stopped talking, went back to her room, and slammed the door shut.She couldn't wait to hear Yvette's screams tonight.During
Kiki sat beside him and asked, "What exactly happened? Why was Mr. Shaw Senior so angry a couple of days ago, and what's going on with Xavier?""Just know that while I'm not a saint, I'm not a terribly wicked person either. But Jeremiah is a wolf in sheep's clothing, so make sure Yvette stays cautious," Tristan advised.Kiki rolled her eyes at him."As far as I know, Jeremiah has always been kind to Yvvy. When they were young, he often helped her and stood up for her when she was bullied. But you, when she just married Xavier, you were the one who bullied her the most!"Tristan was momentarily at a loss for words.That was because Kiki was right in pointing out that Tristan used to frequently bully Yvette.Yvette's hearing had worsened in both ears, and she currently relied on hearing aids until now.Tristan was filled with regret, and he understood that he could never make things right with Yvette. He had been researching ways to treat mild hearing loss but hadn't made much pro
Yvette shook her head and said, "Not yet. His condition is still very unstable. Once Dad's health improves, I'll take you and Zachary to see him."Noah nodded obediently and said, "Alright. Go ahead. Ms. Wendy and Lily are at home. I'll be good.""Okay."Yvette listened to what Noah said and felt genuinely gratified. She was really thankful to have two such thoughtful children at such a young age.After soothing Noah, Yvette had the driver drive to the manor.She had just arrived and saw the nurses and doctor forcibly administering an injection to Xavier."What kind of injection is this?" Yvette immediately stepped forward."It's a sedative," Nathaniel replied with a stern expression. "Mr. Lane lost control again earlier and started hitting people."Yvette frowned. "Didn't I tell you? If he has an episode, just call me, and I'll come over right away."Nathaniel feigned a helpless look at Yvette. "That won't do. When Mr. Lane gets violent, he doesn't hold back at all. If we don
Yvette immediately understood what Jacqueline meant. "Thank you so much. I'll cover all your losses personally.""You don't have to. Just continue working with me when you're in charge in the future."Jacqueline realized that Yvette was genuinely kind-hearted. In their collaboration, she found that she got a fair deal and even made more profit compared to working with others."Okay." Yvette didn't exchange any more pleasantries with her after that.Today's parent meeting had unexpectedly helped Yvette solve a big problem.She finally breathed a sigh of relief. She could now take a proper rest.First, she took care of Noah, and then she planned to go to the manor to visit Xavier.At home, Noah had already learned from Zachary's investigation that the manor was private property belonging to Jeremiah."Zac, I feel like it's not really a good thing for Mom, but if she wants to be with Jeremiah, I'll support her."Noah rested his head on his hand and said, "But Jeremiah is already
Anne, thinking about her child at home, said, "I need to go back and check on my kid too."As the three people got ready to leave, Elena hesitated and stayed behind.Once they left, a few of the other moms also decided to leave.The remaining people seemed to want to get on Marlene's good side.Marlene also knew of this and told them, "Zayden will be returning to the main headquarters of Titan Corporation very soon.""Really? To what position?" Mia asked.Marlene smiled and said, "It has to be a high-ranking position.""Congratulations are definitely in order. Once Mr. Zayden returns to work at the headquarters, could you possibly help make some introductions?" Mia tentatively suggested.Elena made a point to remember everything that happened here so she could tell Yvette all about it.Elena felt that even if Yvette and Xavier were divorced, Yvette's life wouldn't be any worse than Marlene'sShe was determined to become friends with Yvette again, and she believed she was maki
Upon learning of the situation, Jeremiah instructed Nathaniel to keep a close watch on Xavier's every move, especially when he was with Yvette.Nathaniel said, "Yvette also wants Mr. Xavier to be able to go out for walks."Jeremiah paused before replying, "As long as he doesn't leave the manor, he can go for a walk."Yvette could look at Xavier at any moment, and Jeremiah didn't want Yvette to have a negative impression of him."Understood."…As the end of the month approached at Titan Corporation, those with the lowest sales would be fired.Division Five had been performing well, but unfortunately, there were issues with the accounts. If the upper management or shareholders found out, it could become a significant problem.At that time, it was likely that Division Five, who were suspected of fraud, would be fired.Yvette had already arranged for someone to look into this matter, focusing on who has been in close contact with Marlene or Division One recently.However, there
Jeana stopped talking after that. If Shannon were to see hers hurting Xavier, not only would the idea of them getting married be out of the question, but she would definitely be kicked out.Yvette couldn't be bothered to continue the conversation and said, "In the future, be more careful. If it happens again, it won't just end with a slap."She returned to her room to continue resting.The next day, when morning came, Xavier was still asleep.The doctor came to give him a medical check-up.The doctor said, "Most of Mr. Lane's physical injuries have healed, but the brain damage is something that won't recover in this lifetime."Yvette listened with a worried expression on her face.Before, it was just that Xavier couldn't see. Now, he had turned into a fool.Although he was once a favored and exceptionally talented person, his current life of his was incredibly difficult.Nathaniel escorted the doctor out, leaving only Yvette and Xavier in the room. Yvette was about to go to w
Yvette quietly peeked through the crack in the door and saw that Xavier was still lying in bed. His eyes were still closed.He hadn't woken up at all. He must have been having a nightmare just now.Yvette finally felt relieved enough to go back in and tucked the covers back around him, teasing him as she did so, "Look at you in your current state, yet you've got beautiful women eager to marry you. You're really lucky."After finishing speaking, she thought it was getting late and decided to go back to her room to rest.Suddenly, Xavier's large hand grasped her wrist tightly.Yvette's pupils constricted. She thought Xavier had woken up, so she immediately called out to him. "Xavier..."Xavier, however, let go of her.Yvette's eyes were filled with disappointment as she gently placed his hand down."I'll see you again tomorrow."Yvette then went back to her room to sleep.In the early hours of the morning, the sky was exceptionally dark. Yvette was a light sleeper and had a vag
"It's so late. It can't be good, right?" Nathaniel said, standing in front of Yvette.Yvette asked, puzzled, "What's not good?""I'm just concerned about your safety," Nathaniel explained.Yvette stepped past him and said, "Don't worry, I'll take care of myself."She quickly walked toward Xavier's room.Nathaniel assumed that Xavier would not wake up now, so he didn't stop her again.In the spacious bedroom, Xavier lay quietly on the bed with his eyes tightly shut. He didn't appear to be sleeping normally.Yvette closed the door before walking to his side."Xavier," she called out.The person on the bed showed no signs of movement.Yvette sat beside him on the bed and pulled the covers aside a little to look at him, only to discover that he was covered in injuries.It looked like he was hit with a stick, leaving bruises all over. It seemed really painful.Yvette looked around, found a medical kit, picked it up, and began to tend to his wounds.What she didn't know was that
