Jeremiah looked up at Yvette at the same time. It felt different from the gathering last night. At that moment, it felt like they were the only people on the face of Earth.Yvette's pupils constricted a little. Before she returned to her senses, someone suddenly held her from behind. "Where are you brushing your teeth on the balcony? It's so cold out here. What if you get sick?" Xavier asked with a hoarse voice.She returned to her senses and immediately looked away. Then, she got out of his embrace. Fortunately, he couldn't see anything now."I'm fine. It's not cold." Then, she immediately returned to her room.All Yvette knew was that he was blind. However, she didn't know that he had eyes everywhere. From the moment Jeremiah had arrived, someone had already told Xavier about it.He stood on the balcony as the cold wind blew on his face. Suddenly, his phone started ringing. He accepted it; it was a call from Jeremiah."Mom said you have lost your memories, and it seems like i
Noah heard someone calling him and saw Malcolm when he turned around. He was confused and wondered who the latter was.Meanwhile, Malcolm walked to him. "What's wrong, Zac? Why are you ignoring me?"Noah realized that Malcolm was Zachary's friend and shot him a glance impatiently. "Can I help you?"Malcolm was stunned when he heard Noah's childish voice. It was a huge difference from Zachary's mature-sounding voice. "Zac, why do you sound so childish today?"Noah was speechless and cursed at Malcolm in his mind."You kind of sound adorable when you talk like that." Malcolm chuckled. "Are you here to play with me? Let me take you somewhere fun. I know every single spot at Lane Mansion."When Noah heard that, he thought it was weird. "What do you mean by that?""I'm Malcolm Lane, the only heir to the Lane family. Have you forgotten that?" Malcolm said proudly. Noah thought about the name and quickly remembered who Malcolm was right away. Zachary had told him about Malcolm before
While they were in the car, Noah kept his head down and didn't dare to say a word. Yvette had never been so furious before. She didn't ask him anything and was waiting for him to speak first. Xavier was also in the car. He called Mark and told him to call the search off. When they arrived home, Xavier went to work. Then, Noah started acting coyly. "I'm sorry, Mom. I just wanted to see you and Mr. Xavier. That was why I went there," he apologized coyly.Whenever he said he was sorry, Yvette would go soft on him and forgive him. However, she remained cold this time.Noah started feeling anxious, and he didn't know what to do at all. Just as he was about to head upstairs and seek Viola's help, Yvette said, "Hold it."He stopped in his tracks obediently. "Mom, I really know what I did wrong now.""Are you sure you only wanted to see me and Mr. Xavier?" she suddenly asked.Noah's pupils constricted a little. "I know I was wrong, Mom. I'm sorry."Yvette didn't go soft on him as she
Yara couldn't help feeling glad when she realized Zoey knew what was important, unlike Yvette.Meanwhile, Terrence scoffed from the side. When Zoey had left, he immediately said to Yara, "Mom, if she marries Jeremiah, I would still be their in-law. I want to build a company. What do you think about…"Before he could finish his words, she interrupted him. "You should just be the son of the Yandell family and stop thinking about spending money all the time."When he heard that, he was instantly infuriated. "Believe it or not, but I'll tell Yvette the truth. Then, we can all forget about living the good life!""Don't you dare!" Yara was furious as well as she placed the glass of water aside.Terrence lost his confidence and got out of the house. Since he had nowhere else to go, he decided to get himself drunk at Empire Club."Get me the most beautiful woman you have here." When he arrived, he managed to attract many people's attention. Meanwhile, he also attracted the attention of a
After staying silent for a while, Xavier said, "The company is a bit rundown, and it's inconvenient for a pregnant woman like you to be there.""It's alright. I can just check it out from afar," Yvette said.Seeing how he couldn't stop her, he had no choice but to agree to her request. "Alright."After saying that, he returned to his room to get changed. Upon entering the room, he immediately called Mark. "I want you to prepare a charity company by tonight. Make sure all the staff are there as well."Mark was still preparing a meal for his fiancée. When he received his task, he became sulky right away. "Mr. Lane, why don't you tell Mrs. Lane the truth? No woman would turn away money.""Just do as you're told."Xavier didn't want to waste his time on Mark. If Yvette found out that he was still loaded, she would definitely want a divorce. He knew exactly what kind of person she was. Her biggest weakness was that she was soft.Mark had no choice but to leave his fiancée to comple
Although Xavier's office wasn't big, there were a lot of newspaper clippings on the wall. There was news about missing children and articles on deaf children receiving financial aid.Yvette entered the room and had a look around. There was even a computer and a phone prepared specially for a blind person. All the doubts she had was gone for now."Do your best at your work. I won't disturb you further.""Alright. Let me walk you out." Xavier knew she believed him, so he could finally stop worrying."It's alright. Work is more important." Then, she left by herself.As she returned home, she called Kiki. "Kiki, I've just visited Xavier's company. It really is a charity home." She had talked about it with Kiki previously."Is he really that desperate now?" Kiki asked as she worked."I think this job is good for him. He can help others while living a peaceful life." Yvette had always wanted a quiet life."Yvvy, don't tell me that you're going soft on him and thinking about forgiving
When Yvette heard that, she frowned.Terrence continued yapping, "Do you know how much humiliation I've received in the past few years? I used to be the one who bullies others! You've got to help me, Yvette. As long as you see Jeremiah, he'll definitely help us."She didn't want to listen to him at all. Just as she was about to end the call, she unexpectedly heard him saying, "If Mom hadn't tricked me, the Snyder family wouldn't have fallen in the first place.""What do you mean?" she immediately asked.Terrence was extremely drunk as he carefreely sat on the street. Shortly before he'd called her, he'd been kicked out of the club by the staff. Since Lawrence had frozen his card, he didn't have the money to pay for the bill. He'd even gotten beaten up by the people there."Why do you think our great family business just went down in just three years? It was because Mom told me to transfer everything to her lover, Lawrence Yandell! "Now, not only are the Yandells rich and ungr
Terrence was shocked. He didn't understand why Tristan would suddenly speak for Yvette when the latter had hated her so much in the past. However, he reacted quickly and immediately said, "Alright! Got it! She's my sister, and I'll make sure to respect her now."Tristan only got up after that, and he asked, "What did you say about needing her to meet Jeremiah so that he would help you?"Terrence was afraid of Tristan, so he told him everything about how he'd gone to see Jeremiah and what the latter had said a few days ago. Tristan silently listened to everything Terrence said, and was confused."Does Jeremiah know Yvette?""I think so. Otherwise, why would he possibly say that?" Terrence didn't know what was going on as well.The Snyder family and the Lane family had been close in the past. He remembered how Yvette would secretly write love letters to Xavier in her room back then. When he'd discovered it, they'd been shredded.Suddenly, Tristan felt as if he had unintentionally
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
