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
Xavier stood at the doorway, listening to the conversation outside. Even though his expression remained unchanged, his ears were bright red."Go on; answer them," he said to the bodyguards.Each bodyguard quickly shook their heads.Soon, the older women started trying to introduce them to potential girlfriends.Viola lived in the remote area of Sangine County. The locals had heard that Yvette was Viola's employer's daughter, but she had passed away due to some incident. Later, it had turned out to be a misunderstanding.The reason they hadn't sought out Viola was because Xavier had come with many people and taken several neighbors away for questioning five years ago. For a while, everyone thought Viola and her family had offended someone important. Because of that, they had been too afraid to contact Viola when the latter had come back.Back then, they hadn't dared to lift their heads and look at Xavier when he had questioned them about Yvette's and Viola's whereabouts. That wa
Xavier somewhat recalled the memories from five years ago. He remembered their wedding and how he had left Yvette alone. He remembered James' passing and how Yvette's face had been streaked with tears. All that time, he had remained indifferent, only caring about the Snyder family's deception.He tried to recall more, but the pain in his head intensified. Eventually, he stopped trying and turned to Viola."Viola, I can't agree to your request."As Viola froze, she heard Xavier say, "I can't watch the person I love marry another man. I promise to change, to treat Yvvy well, and never to hurt her again."However, Viola didn't believe a word he said. "No matter what you say, you've only changed now because you're blind. If you were fine, you wouldn't treat Yvvy well."Xavier had no rebuttal. He knew that the only way to make Viola believe him was by showing her that he really had changed.Too angry to continue speaking with Xavier, Viola returned to her room. Xavier hadn't eaten
"What is it?" Kiki asked, puzzled."My father's will," Yvette replied.Before James had died, he had privately made an additional will as he had been worried that the company would end up in the hands of his profligate son. According to the will, part of it allocated one billion dollars to Yvette, and another part stated that Yvette could take all his inheritance, including Snyder Group, if she chose to.Yvette had had the will this whole time, but she had neve revealed it. If she did, the will in Yara's possession would lose its legal effect. When Yvette had just graduated, she hadn't known how to manage a company and hadn't wanted to take away the assets from Yara and Terrence.Besides, even though she'd had the will, she had known that it wouldn't be recognized if she didn't have any backing. But now things were different; Yvette was no longer the soft-hearted girl she used to be. If Yara and the likes of her pushed Yvette too hard, Yvette wouldn't be afraid to fight them
Upon hearing Jackie's words, Daphne lost her resolve. She kneeled in front of Yvette as Kiki watched."Yvvy, I'm sorry."Yvette was shocked by the scene in front of her.The first thought Kiki had was that Daphne must have some ulterior motive. "Daphne, what are you up to this time?"Daphne ignored her and bowed toward Yvette, making a loud sound as her forehead hit the floor. "I was wrong. I shouldn't have pretended to save Madam Shannon and Tristan in your place, nor should I have targeted you. I'm sorry. I hope you forgive me."Yvette didn't know why Daphne was doing this. From what she knew about Daphne, the latter would never bow to her unless she was desperate.Meanwhile, Daphne was still on the ground, and her eyes had turned red. It wasn't from guilt; it was because of jealousy and anger.Why should she apologize to Yvette? One day, she would make Yvette kneel at her feet!Yvette proceeded to walk up to Daphne. "No matter why you came to apologize, I won't forgive you.
Soon, a housekeeper from Yandell Mansion opened the door. When she saw Yvette's ordinary attire, a trace of disdain flashed in her eyes."Ms. Snyder, I presume?""Yes. I'm here to see Yara and Terrence."The housekeeper let them in. On the way to the living room, she informed Yvette, "Madam Yara has gone out for tea. Mr. Terrence is at home."Madam Yara…Mr. Terrence…It seemed that Yara and Terrence had been living quite well these past few years.Terrence was already waiting for Yvette in the living room. He was dressed in an expensive custom suit and wore a Patek Philippe watch worth millions. Even a single button on his cufflinks cost hundreds of thousands of dollars.When Yvette came in, he was holding and admiring a world-famous painting.Clearly, he didn't understand the essence of the painting. He directly asked the person who had delivered it, "How much is this painting?""My boss bought it for one billion dollars," the person replied flatteringly."One billion doll
Yvette rubbed her aching neck and walked outside. Terrence was writhing in pain and couldn't get up. "Yvette, how dare you bring someone along and hit me? Do you not know what my status is now?"Yvette merely glanced at Ray. Without hesitation, Ray delivered another kick to Terrence's chest. "Withdraw it." Ray's cold voice echoed.Terrence tried to pry Ray's leg off, but to no avail. He frantically pleaded, "Alright, alright, I'll drop it."Still, Ray didn't move his foot.The surrounding housekeepers saw their employer under Ray's foot. However, they didn't dare to step forward to help.Terrence felt his insides aching, and tears welled up in his eyes. "Yvvy, I was wrong. Make him stop; I'm going to die."Only when beaten into submission would Terrence call Yvette "Yvvy".Yvette recalled how she used to fight back whenever Terrence had hit her when they had been children. Back then, Terrence had never been able to win because he was younger than her.After each beating, he w
Noah Lander?Zachary was confused at first, but he quickly realized they had mistaken him for his younger brother. As for the surname, Zachary figured Noah might have used Claude's name to fool others. Zachary knew who Mark was. Mark was one of Xavier's men, so he probably was not a good person. He must have given Yvette hell before!"Why are you grabbing me?" Zachary asked calmly, looking at Mark.Mark was puzzled. Why wasn't Noah buttering up to others like he used to? Before, he would cry at the drop of a hat. Despite that, Mark didn't dwell on it. He took Zachary from the bodyguard. "Mr. Lane wants to see you."Hearing that Xavier wanted to see him, Zachary stopped resisting and let Mark carry him to the car. He was curious about why Xavier had left Sangine County and was now outside Yandell Mansion. Was he tracking Yvette? The thought sent a chill down Zachary's spine.What an evil man Xavier was!The cold air from outside rushed into the car, where Xavier was waiting.
