Even though Noah liked to act coy, Yvette knew he wouldn't usually cause a scene. He was already in great pain because of his illness. Since it was rare for him to have his eyes set on a toy, she figured he was naturally upset when he couldn't get it."Please don't cry, Noah. I'll think of another way, alright?"At that moment, Claude immediately said, "Noah, I'll win you the toy with Mom, alright?"When Noah heard what Claude said, he stopped crying and looked at the man with his huge eyes. "Alright." After saying that, he looked at Yvette again. "Do your best with Dad, Mom."When Yvette saw what was happening, she didn't know what else to say.The three of them registered their names at the game. When there were ten couples ready, the staff explained the rules. The game was simple. Each person would stand face-to-face with their partners. After they were blindfolded, the staff would drop something on a rope, like a piece of paper or an apple.The participants would have to
Claude hadn't just come back for Yvette alone. He had also returned for the project that Xavier had taken away from him before. Since he knew the current CEO at Lane Group was an imposter, he wasn't worried at all.Mark hadn't expected Claude to be so arrogant. Now that Xavier had lost his memories, there was no way Mark was going to tell him what Claude had said. However, Claude was determined to make Xavier see the reality of things.Xavier was using his braille laptop at home as he waited for Yvette to come back. It was already 8:00 pm, but she hadn't returned yet. Usually, she would've reached home by now.At that moment, Xavier received a message on his phone. He quickly picked it up and played the message. "Mr. Lane, this is Claude. I just want to let you know that Yvvy has been with me today, and she'll be going home late."After hearing the message, Xavier's face darkened. He couldn't focus on his work anymore, and he got up to leave the room. It was snowing heavily outsi
It felt like Yvette had just removed her hand from a freezer when she placed it on Xavier's chest. He stopped in his tracks. He didn't feel cold at all. Instead, he could feel his blood pumping throughout his body.Yvette didn't have anywhere else to place her other hand, and she accidentally touched his face. It was burning. "You're having a fever, Xavier," she weakly said.It was freezing that day, but Xavier's face was hot to the touch. So, she figured he was having a fever.Xavier pursed his lips and gulped. "I meant what I said last night."She couldn't hear what he said and only saw his mouth moving. So, she gave him a perfunctory answer. "Yeah."Xavier walked faster. When they finally reached home, Viola saw them covered in snow. She quickly got them a towel and asked, "Why did you come home so late?"Xavier accepted the towel and helped Yvette wipe away the snow. Yvette was so cold that she couldn't move. However, she still comforted Viola.Since she didn't want Viola
The two of them sat face-to-face, and it felt awkward. Xavier said something first. "Why didn't you tell me when you couldn't hear a thing?"Yvette kept her head down, and she looked like she was in a daze. "I thought my hearing would get better when I got home."He held up his hand to touch her, but she avoided him. Xavier's hand froze in mid-air, and he asked, "Who were you with today, Yvvy?"Yvette was stunned, and she looked up at him. "Did you send someone to follow me again?"That was what he had loved to do before he had lost his memories.He was stunned because he didn't understand what she meant by "again". He didn't know when he had ever sent someone to follow her.Before he could explain himself, the door to Viola's room opened, and the doctor came out. He said Viola had been too agitated and fainted. She wasn't in any danger, but she had to stay calm in the future.Mark came out as well and looked at Yvette. His gaze was cold when he thought about what he had seen th
Yvette scoffed when she heard what Yara said. Yara might be Yvette's mother, but she couldn't wait to kill her where she stood."I made the money through my hard work. If you want it, earn it yourself and stop trying to scare me."After saying that, Yvette ended the call. Then, she tried calling Matthew. As expected, she couldn't get to him at all. It seemed to her that she had to return to Tirion to take care of it.Yvette immediately got up and checked on Viola. The latter had woken up as well. When she found out about the misunderstanding last night, she was in a daze."Has Xavier really changed?""I'm not sure as well. Get some rest and stop worrying about everything else.""Sure." Viola agreed with a nod.Then, Yvette told Viola that a friend of hers was in trouble and that she had to take care of it. "Alright. Go on. Don't worry about me. I can take care of myself."There was no way Yvette wouldn't worry about Viola being alone with Xavier. "I'll hire a caretaker to take
Since it had snowed the whole night, the housekeepers were clearing the snow outside Dewberry Manor.Xavier sat in the car and didn't enter the manor. Then, Mark saw someone entering the building. It was Jeremiah.Mark told Xavier about it immediately and asked, "Shall we head over there now?"Since there were so many housekeepers at the manor at that moment, Jeremiah's identity would be exposed if Xavier went there now.A few days ago, Jeremiah had been staying at Lane Mansion due to the complications with his identity. Xavier hadn't expected him to move into Dewberry Manor so soon.First, Jeremiah had stolen his identity. Then, he had snatched the company. Now, he had taken Xavier's manor as well.Xavier wondered if Jeremiah was going to snatch his wife and the people close to him next."There's no rush." Xavier's voice pulled Mark back to his senses, and he had no choice but to stop his car somewhere far away.Although he had worked for Xavier for a long time, he had only he
When Daphne heard Jeremiah telling her to kneel in front of Yvette, she was shocked. She looked at him in disbelief as she clenched her fists tightly.If Yvette and Andy hadn't released the video and destroyed her reputation, she wouldn't have become so miserable. Now, Jeremiah was actually making her kneel and apologize to Yvette.However, when she thought about what Xavier had done to her, she had no choice but to agree to it. "Alright. I'll go to her now."She didn't even remember how she got out of Dewberry Manor.Right after she left, Jackie asked in confusion, "Mr. Jeremiah, why are you forcing her to apologize to Yvette? You've never gotten along with Mr. Xavier. Are you going to protect his wife now?"Right after she said that, she suddenly felt uneasy. Jeremiah, who had always been gentle, was actually looking at her coldly. "You have no idea, Jackie."She didn't know about Jeremiah's past with Yvette at all, and that was the first time she didn't dare to ask about it. "
When Xavier arrived home, he couldn't find Yvette anywhere.He was slightly angry. After all, when he left the house, he always left a note for her. But when she went out, she never told him about it.The caretaker that Yvette had hired for Viola was cooking in the kitchen.When she saw the frustrated Xavier calling for Yvette from time to time, she couldn't help but say, "Ms. Snyder probably isn't coming home in the next few days. She told me to take care of Ms. Xenos."When Xavier heard the stranger's voice, he asked, "Who are you?""I'm Ellie Hemington, I'm the caretaker Ms. Snyder hired to take care of Ms. Xenos." Ellie came out and realized that Xavier was blind.She immediately said, "Mister, I'm going to have to charge more for taking care of two people. When Ms. Snyder hired me, she only said I needed to take care of Ms. Xenos. She never mentioned anything about taking care of a blind person."When he heard her calling him blind, his face darkened a lot. "I don't need an
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
