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
The following morning, Yvette was eager to prepare carrot oatmeal, only to discover that there were no carrots left. Despite her extensive search, she couldn't locate any. Hence, she had to improvise with other ingredients. Meanwhile, Xavier had left early in the morning, claiming he was headed to the hospital....In the dimly lit basement, Claude slowly opened his eyes to find himself tightly bound to a chair. His forehead was bleeding, and there were painful wounds all over his body.From across the room, a voice broke the silence. "Mr. Lane, he's tough. I brought in 15 guys, and every single one of them got hurt. It took a lot of effort to restrain him," Mark reported to Xavier.Claude glanced in the direction of the voice and spotted Xavier sitting on the chair across from him, exuding an air of nonchalance.Mark noticed that he had regained consciousness and quickly informed Xavier, "He's awake."Claude knew that Xavier's subordinates were behind the attack yesterday. No
To Karen, it seemed that what Xavier gave her was just a piece of paper. Was he a madman?When Yvette got back, Karen tugged at her and said, "Your husband's quite good looking, but he's a bit weird. I made smoked bacon, so I brought some over, and he gave me a piece of paper instead. He even asked me to fill some numbers in."She tried to express it as indirectly as possible, without saying that Xavier was a lunatic.Yvette knew that Karen had misunderstood, but she didn't want to correct her. She had no choice but to admit that Xavier had an odd temper indeed."Thanks for the smoked bacon. Next time, don't look for him when he's the only one at home. You can come to me when I'm back.""Alright." After seeing Yvette off, Karen found herself feeling sorry for her. Why had a nice woman like Yvette married a blind, insane man? Hadn't Yvette been born with a silver spoon in her mouth and married a wealthy man?Yvette had just returned after visiting Noah at the hospital. She had a
Yvette had returned to Sangine County to accompany Viola during her last days. She didn't want Viola to have any regrets before she passed. Yet, she hadn't expected to be involved with Xavier and the rest of the Lane family.Pulling away from her thoughts, Yvette replied, "I'll release the next song during Christmas."She had finishing writing the song. Yet, there were still some minor imperfections that troubled her."Alright." Cynthia typed away on her keyboard. "I'll announce it on all major platforms.""Okay, sure."Since Yvette had become popular, she had started to announce her new releases online, unless the songs were meant for her close friends. After the announcements, companies and singers would reach out, asking for quotations.Usually, Cynthia was the one in charge of discussing about the price and collaboration matters. The only exception had been last time, when Yvette had lacked money to run the company and had resorted to finding Tony.Now that the company wasn'
