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.
After Xavier heard what Viola said, he immediately left the kitchen. As he walked, he accidentally bumped into a cabinet with his arm. The glass bottles on it all fell to the ground. One of them even smashed onto the back of his palm.His good-looking arm was bruised immediately. However, he didn't care at all. Although he had memorized the position of everything there in the past few days, it was inevitable that things would be moved.He only managed to reach outside the house after bumping into a few more tables and chairs. Then, he immediately called Mark and told the latter to drive over.As he waited for Mark, he finally understood the great difference between a normal person and a blind person. If he wasn't blind, he would've driven himself to look for Yvette by now. However, he had no choice but to wait for Mark.Since Mark lived nearby, he was able to reach Xavier in six minutes. When he saw Xavier standing in the snow, he thought Yvette had chased the latter out. He im
Back at the restaurant's entrance, Yvette hurriedly pulled her hand back from Claude's face. "I was young back then and didn't know what I was doing."She had only been a few years old and hadn't known about keeping her distance from other boys at all. Back then, Claude had been short and chubby. He hadn't even been as tall as Yvette. She had treated him like a younger brother. Everytime Viola had made something tasty, Yvette had taken some for him.Now, he was taller than her by a head, and he looked dashing. Most importantly, he seemed so regal that no woman wouldn't dare to place her hands on his face.As Claude looked at Yvette keeping her distance, he seemed lonely. "You don't have to have everything when you're with me."He remembered how he ha dbeen freezing during the winter when he had been young. Yvette was the one who had brought him clothes and food and made him happy. If it hadn't for her, he would've frozen to death or gotten killed.However, Yvette shook her head.
Kiki nodded and said, "Yes, it's them. They're incredibly arrogant. Just thinking about it still makes me really angry."Yvette picked up her phone and made a call. A bodyguard that was stationed nearby answered her.Kiki overheard her telling the person on the phone to isolate a few of them and beat them up."What do you mean?"Kiki still didn't understand what was happening.The driver started the car and drove them to a secluded location.Kiki then realized that all the people who had previously pushed her were now being cornered and beaten up."Yvvy, this is...""I can tolerate it if they bully me, but I can't stand it when they bully you," Yvette said, enunciating each word clearly.Kiki felt moved. She hugged Yvette tightly, saying, "Yvvy, you're amazing! My true love!"Yvette couldn't help but laugh. "Dummy. You're my best friend. You stood by me, so of course, I'll stand by you."She was no longer the person she once was, with nothing to her name. Yvette now had weal
Zoey never imagined that Yvette had secretly recorded their conversation back then.She immediately told the approaching reporters, "Stop taking pictures."However, even if the reporters didn't take photos, the guests who attended would take pictures and record videos."With this whole mix-up between the real and fake daughters, is Zoey actually from the Yandell family or the Snyder family?"Lawrence was upset and said, "My daughter, of course, took my last name.""Ah, so Yara was having an affair..."The people who came to attend the funeral on behalf of the Snyder family were instantly displeased."Are you kidding? Yara has been with you all along. Do you think us Snyders are a bunch of nobodies?"The members of the Snyder family and the people from the Cadwell family suddenly started arguing fiercely.Yvette looked at everything happening before her and just felt a deep sense of sadness.Kiki was supporting her upright, fearing she might get unintentionally caught up in th
The people present whispered to each other, confused about what Yvette was trying to do."Yvette, we were in the wrong before. Please don't take our words too seriously."The ones who previously criticized Yvette were now pretending to say nice things, fearing retaliation from her.Zoey and Lawrence stood among the crowd, unsure of what Yvette was going to do or say.Yvette ignored the person speaking and instead pulled out a report. "This is a paternity test. I am not Ms. Cadwell's biological daughter."She spoke about it boldly and bluntly.Everyone present was stunned to hear that, including Zoey and Terrence.Terrence never imagined that the sister he grew up with was not actually the daughter of the Cadwells."Yvette, don't joke around," Terrence said while forcing a laugh.Yvette looked at Terrence and said, "I'm not joking. To avoid anyone thinking I'm faking it, I've undergone tests at several major hospitals. I'm definitely not a daughter of the Cadwell family or the
The corners of Jeremiah's lips curled into a faint smile. "It seems like things aren't looking good for him."Tristan was immediately infuriated upon hearing those words. He grabbed Jeremiah by the collar and demanded, "What nonsense are you spouting?"Jeremiah looked calmly at him and said, "You're not very good at lying."Tristan was indeed that kind of person—he had no hidden agendas or schemes."You're Xav's own brother. Do you really hate him that much? Do you want him to die?"After hearing this, Jeremiah's expression remained unchanged. "You and Xavier are supposed to be best friends. Can you guarantee that you're not jealous of him and have never thought about making him disappear?""Of course not," Tristan affirmed confidently.When he was younger, he indeed felt jealous of Xavier and was unhappy about always being overshadowed by him. But as he grew older, he realized that everyone had their own strengths and that there was no need to compete with others over everythin
The members of the Cadwell family looked at each other in confusion, and then they began to apologize to Yvette and Kiki."Yvette, I'm sorry. Please forgive us. We're old and unwise.""Yes, yes, we're unwise. We're sorry.""Miss, please forgive us. We'll cover all your medical expenses."They all apologized at once, but only they knew how sincere the apologies actually were.Kiki tugged on Yvette's hand and asked, "Yvvy, what do you think we should do?"Yvette had already figured out how to deal with them. She said, "Since they already realized their mistake, let's just let it go.""Okay." Kiki, seeing that Yvette wasn't bothered by it anymore, agreed as well. "Just make sure you don't bully others by abusing your power in the future.""Right. Yes."Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, thinking they had narrowly escaped a crisis. They didn't realize that Yvette had already planned on how to deal with them.This was, after all, a funeral parlor, and some media reporters would s
Yvette was somewhat confused by this, and so was Kiki."Wasn't there just a lot of crying and talking inside? Why did it suddenly get so quiet? Are they holding some kind of ceremony?" Kiki asked."I don't know. Let's go in and take a look."When they walked in, they finally understood the reason why it was quiet.Tristan had arrived.At that moment, he sat atop a sandalwood chair, surrounded by bodyguards all dressed in matching black uniforms.Terrence stood in front of him, sweating profusely.The others were also too scared to make a sound."Where's Yvette?" Tristan asked again.After receiving a call from Kiki, he quickly rushed over. However, when he arrived, he didn't see Kiki or Yvette.He wasn't as easygoing as Jeremiah. Right there on the spot, he had everyone surrounded and made them all line up properly, demanding everyone to clearly state who had been bullying Yvette.When confronted with the power he exuded, the crowd instantly lost their earlier arrogance, and
Most of the people present recognized Jeremiah's face, but they mistook him for Xavier."So it's the son-in-law of the Snyder family who's here." They didn't let go of Yvette but instead complained, "You're here just in time. Teach Yvette a lesson. Her mother passed away, but she refuses to wear mourning attire."Terrence saw Jeremiah approaching from a distance and immediately stopped paying attention to the relatives around him, quickly running over."Everyone, you've got it wrong. This is Xavier''s twin brother. He's currently the CEO of Titan Corporation."After speaking, he gave the group a few subtle winks.The members of the Cadwell family liked to bully the weak and feared the strong. After knowing that the person in front of them was the CEO of Titan Corporation, they all put on smiling faces."We're sorry. We mistook you for someone else."After that, they continued to insist that Yvette kneel. "Come on, Yvette, stop being stubborn and just kneel!"Jeremiah saw what w
"Her own mother passed away, and she didn't even wear mourning attire. What kind of behavior is that?" someone remarked."Yeah. No wonder Yara didn't like this daughter. She's just heartless."Several people were all talking nonsense all at once.They were concerned that Yvette couldn't hear them, so they deliberately approached her, pretending to offer comfort while actually accusing her. "Yvette, traditionally, when parents pass away, the children wear mourning attire. We know you had issues with your mom, but now that she has died, do you want her to be unable to rest in peace?""I heard you only just came over today. Terrence was the one on night watch the past couple of days. You need to stay tonight for the night watch and spend your mom's last night with her."These people really knew how to manipulate others using moral pressure. When Yara was treating Yvette poorly, nobody stepped in to advise Yara to be kind and to treat Yvette well."I'm sorry. I'm just here to take
The message was sent, but there was no response for a long time.Yvette felt uneasy for some reason, so she decided to just make the phone call.A cold, automated voice came through. "We're sorry, the number you have dialed is currently switched off…"Was Xavier's phone switched off?Yvette wanted to figure out what he was currently doing and was thinking about calling Mark to ask. Just as she was about to make the call, Kiki walked in through the door."Yvvy, I'm here."Kiki got under the covers and asked, "So, did your boss find out about your performance?"After Yvette got interrupted, she forgot to call Mark."Of course, they know. You guys are amazing," she praised sincerely.Kiki held her hand and said, "I'm really happy. I feel a great sense of accomplishment now that I can help you."Yvette leaned against her and said, "Thank you, Kiki.""You're being too polite. You should get some sleep. Aren't we going to the funeral parlor tomorrow?" Kiki said."Yes, we are. We
