During this time, Xavier's memories had been returning to him slowly, bit by bit. He remembered that he had known how to code since he had been a child.He checked Zachary's code when the latter was done with part of it, and he was surprised to find that it was flawless. Zachary was, after all, a child who had yet to learn to hold in his bursting pride. He boasted, "I'll be better than you when I am at your age."The remark didn't bother Xavier. "We shall see."Suddenly, a wicked idea flashed across Zachary's mind. “If you lose, you'll have to leave Mom's side. What do you say?”Xavier paused and raised his eyebrows slightly. "What if I win?""If you win, I'll allow you to stay."Chuckling, Xavier commented, "It's not fair to me. Even if I refuse to compete, I can still stay here."Zachary was taken aback at his bastard father's quick thinking. He asked, "What do you want from the bet, then?" There was no way he wouldn't win against the blind Xavier.Xavier proposed, "You'll
Zachary had looked into Leonard, who was extremely good-looking and an excellent lawyer at that. Leonard was certainly an outstanding man.Kiki had picked a great kindergarten for Zachary; lots of wealthy children attended it. It was too bad his classmates' fathers were married and therefore could not qualify as candidates.A day ago at school, Zachary had asked Malcolm if he knew any rich and handsome guys.Malcolm had beamed proudly. "You'll only find rich and handsome guys in our family."Darren had chimed in, "Zac, I think your dad is pretty handsome."Zachary had been confused. "My dad?""Yeah—the guy who talked to the principal," Darren had said matter-of-factly.Malcolm had hurriedly corrected him, "That's nonsense. That man is Mr. Tristan; he isn't Zac's dad. Mr. Tristan's last name is Shaw. It's different from Zachary's last name. They can't be father and son."Darren scratched his head. "But Grandpa said Mr. Tristan will marry Aunt Kiki one day." He added confidently,
Jon was flabbergasted. He had thought that the kids were here to have fun, but it turned out that they had come here to find male escorts.But why had they specifically request male escorts instead of female ones?Regardless, he didn't want to offend the three boys, who all looked like they had powerful and wealthy fathers. He agreed, "Sure. I'll get it arranged."Jon had thought of calling around to ask for the kids' backgrounds, but Zachary threatened him, "Trust me. You wouldn't want to know who my dad is."If he finds out about this, he will first tear down your club before he takes us away. Nothing good will come out of it."Jon was intimidated by Zachary's words. After some consideration, he agreed with Zachary and promised, "Don't worry. I'll keep you and your friends' little tour a secret."He couldn't care less since they were not his children. Still, considering that the patrons were kids, he offered them a VIP lounge and made sure they didn't get alcohol by swapping
In Sangine County, Xavier was engrossed in important matters related to his new company when he suddenly received several text messages."At 10:24 on December 12th, a transaction of 888,000 dollars was made using card number XX."At 10:26 on December 12th, a transaction of 388,000 dollars was made using card number XX."At 11:00 on December 12th, a transaction of 1,888,000 dollars was made using card number XX."In just half an hour, millions of dollars had been spent. Xavier could naturally afford this amount of spending. However, he was curious about what a kid could spend so much money on in such a short time. Furthermore, it was important to note that Zachary should still be in school at the moment.Xavier made a call. "Go find out what Noah is up to at the kindergarten.""Yes, sir."In the adjacent room, Yvette and the nurse were taking care of Viola as she lay in bed. Yvette had just found out that Xavier had hired a new nurse, Hannah Greene.Viola shared Ellie had infu
If Yvette hadn't known Yara's true nature, she wouldn't be able to see through her hypocrisy now. A hint of disdain flashed across Yvette's stunning, deep eyes. "Who are you attempting to trade me with this time? Or perhaps you want to use me for your personal gain?"Yara was immediately exposed and could no longer maintain the facade. "Have I ever told you not to look at me like that?" She stared into Yvette's eyes, wishing she could gouge them out and crush them.Yvette ignored her. "Would you prefer to leave on your own, or shall I escort you out?"Yara eventually returned empty-handed. Her mind was consumed by Yvette's icy gaze on the journey back.She had been upset when Terrence had informed her that Yvette had James' will, in which he had chosen to give the company to Yvette instead of Terrence. Yara had felt a strong urge to dig up James' grave out of frustration. She muttered to herself, "Even after death, you won't let me live in peace."...Some people spent their
Yerick realized that his joke had upset Claude, so he quickly called again. "Claude, I was wrong. There's something important I need to tell you." Claude then listened patiently as Yerick spoke."Didn't you ask me to snatch all of Lane Group's recent projects? Everything started off smoothly, but the most recent project was discovered. Xavier came down hard on those of us who stole his business."Claude didn't inform Yerick about the current CEO of Lane Group was simply an imposter. It seemed that he had underestimated Jeremiah. Claude responded, "Let's pause for now.""Alright."...Meanwhile, Xavier received a call from the bodyguard in Tirion. He not only found out that Zachary had gone to the club but had also discovered his true name. It was baffling to think what a kid could be up to in a club. Furthermore, he had even spent money there.After Xavier hung up the phone, he heard footsteps and a man's voice outside the door. He frowned, making his way out of the bedroom
Xavier had no intention of doing that. He had solely brought Zachary here to make Yvette happy. He had never expected that she would barely speak to him now.Noticing his silence, Zachary felt a sense of superiority. He was determined to get back at Xavier for the humiliation he had endured yesterday. As a result, he persisted in taunting him. "If it hadn't been for you, Mom and Dad would have been married long ago. You should leave Mom alone as soon as possible. Someone claimed that Mom is the third party because you don't love her."As soon as he finished speaking, Xavier hit him on the head. Xavier's tone turned serious. "I won't tolerate hearing this again. Stop reading content devoid of moral values online in the future."Zachary was aware that his words had been inappropriate, but he wanted to test his bastard father. It appeared that Xavier wasn't beyond redemption since he had acknowledged his wrongs just now.He asked while rubbing his head, "Aren't you going to ask me w
Xavier ate the roasted carrot with risotto quickly. Zachary next to him reacted strongly, finding it disgusting. He couldn't believe his bastard father had actually eaten all of it.After Xavier finished eating, he declared, "I love everything my wife cooks."Yvette then slowly averted her gaze.Claude was upset when he heard him call Yvette his wife. He then grabbed a serving spoon and served more to Xavier. "I cooked this carrot, didn't I, Yvvy?""Yeah, you did," Yvette replied with a hint of awkwardness. However, as she witnessed Xavier being repeatedly deflated, she couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction. This was an entirely new side of Xavier that she had never witnessed before.After that, Yvette served Xavier more roasted carrots. "Eat more if you like it."Zachary was shocked and felt bad for Xavier when he saw the pile of roasted carrots on the latter's plate. "Mister, if you like them, I'll give you the ones from my plate."Zachary looked innocent, but he fe
