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
"I'll get Mark to look into it," Xavier immediately said.Yvette shook her head. "No, you're not his boss now. So, don't trouble him all the time. Besides, I've asked Ray to look into it. Claude said he used to be a secret service agent and how he was great at investigations."Xavier almost forgotten about the dashing and capable bodyguard."If he can't find out anything, I'll ask Claude for his help," she added. She didn't realize Xavier was already getting jealous.Speaking of Claude, she thought something felt wrong. He hadn't contacted her for a long time.Xavier held her hand tighter. "Why can't you ask for my help?"She was stunned. Then, she looked up at his cold face. "Well, you've lost your memories and sight, right?"He regretted setting this trap up for himself. He stood still and leaned toward her. "But if you do this, I'll get jealous."When she felt his warm breath, she awkwardly looked away. "What are you saying? They're just my friends."When he heard that, he
Yvette was starting to have a hard time breathing. Fortunately, the kiss didn't last for too long.Xavier touched her blushing face and stopped kissing her. Then, he asked softly, "Have I scared you?"She looked away and wanted to get out of his embrace again. However, he pulled her back into his arms once more. "Don't move. You're pregnant now.""Why are you still doing this when you know I'm pregnant?" she said angrily."We're husband and wife; it's normal for us to kiss," he said slowly.She pulled the blanket over herself and didn't say another word. Xavier wasn't used to her being so quiet."Can you say something?" He didn't even realize how low he had gotten."There's nothing for me to say. I want to return to my room, so let me go now," she coldly demanded.Xavier didn't agree to her request and held her tighter. From that moment onward, he wanted to stay by her side so that no one else could approach her."I've been remembering bits and pieces of my childhood recently.
After Xavier was taken away, Tristan and Mark frantically searched everywhere but couldn't find Jeremiah, that lunatic.The main problem was that they were both seriously injured and could only rely on their subordinates to find help."If something happens to Xav, I will never forgive myself." Tristan felt especially guilty, wondering why he hadn't been more cautious.He had been too arrogant.Mark, being a bit more rational than him, said, "Mr. Shaw, since we haven't heard any bad news about Mr. Lane, I assume everything is fine with him.""What do you mean?" Tristan asked."If I were Jeremiah and wanted to frame us for Mr. Lane's death, I definitely wouldn't drag it out," Mark replied.Both of them were currently in a lot of pain, and even simple conversations were very difficult for them.So, after talking for a bit, they took another break.Unfortunately, Mark's phone kept persistently ringing. He saw that Lillian was calling, but he didn't dare answer. He was worried that
Jeremiah gradually tightened his grip. Once Xavier died, he could claim that Tristan and Mark were responsible for secretly harming Xavier.No one knew what kind of surgery they had performed on Xavier, only that it ultimately led to his death."Xavier, don't blame me. If you want to blame anyone, blame yourself. You just had to fight with me over everything," Jeremiah said as he covered Xavier's mouth and nose. "When I met Yvvy, I thought I finally had something you didn't, but even she was taken away by you."It's bad enough you took her from me, but you won't even let me move on! Do you have any idea how much it hurts to see you two together every day, especially knowing she's pregnant with your children?"Jeremiah's eyes were slightly reddened."Now, it's all good. With you gone from this world, I'll take good care of Yvette for you."He seemed to have deliberately emphasized the word "Yvette". He didn't know if Xavier was aware of it, but it just felt incredibly satisfying!
Yvette saw that the call was disconnected and decided not to worry about Xavier anymore.…On the other end, Mark stood outside the ICU ward. Up until now, Xavier still hadn't woken up.Tristan came over and checked all the indicators. "There's nothing wrong, so why hasn't he woken up yet?""Mr. Shaw, do you think Mr. Lane might never wake up?" There was a look of concern in Mark's eyes as he asked that. He couldn't believe that the person he had always followed would leave in such a way."Don't overthink it," Tristan said, giving him a pat on the shoulder.Suddenly, there was a noise from the outside."Who are you? This is a private hospital. No one else is allowed to be here.""How can you resort to violence?"There was the sound of things clattering, followed by the cries of pain from those in a fight.Tristan frowned. "Who is it? Do they have a death wish?"Mark was also in disbelief. Shortly afterward, they finally saw clearly who was approaching them.Jeremiah was s
Over at Snyder Residence, Yvette was woken up early by Kiki, who also informed her that there were negative rumors about Zoey circulating online."Yvvy, see, I told you that the media wouldn't easily let Zoey off the hook."Yvette read through them again.However, these news stories disappeared not long after they were published.While eating breakfast, Kiki frowned and said, "The speed at which trending articles change is just too fast.""That's the benefit of having money," Yvette said.Even the children knew about the trending articles being removed.Zachary had originally wanted to hack in further to make Zoey's news trend more frequently. Unfortunately, it seems they had figured out about the hacking attempts, so they fortified their firewall and posted someone to monitor the situation.If he hacked in again, there was a chance he might expose himself.Zachary decided to back off and settled for teaching Zoey a small lesson.…Yara was to be laid to rest today.Yvette
"We've found her, and we're currently figuring out how to obtain her biological sample," Elijah replied.Zoey was really anxious. She said, "Great. Once you've got it, come back as soon as you can.""Okay."Zoey hung up the phone and laid down to rest, but she just couldn't fall asleep.If Xandra really was Gemma's daughter, given Gemma's doting and overprotective nature, she would want to give half of everything she owned to Xandra.No, it wasn't just half. By then, Zoey might end up with nothing, and everything would go to Xandra.Zoey had a rough night and didn't sleep well, but fortunately, Elijah sent a message saying everything had been arranged. They were coming back today, so they could move forward with the examination earlier than planned.Just as things got settled over at Zoey's, online articles started trending elsewhere."Zoey Yandell is suspected to be the biological daughter of Yara Cadwell.""Zoey Yandell is unwilling to acknowledge her biological mother in or
"Fine, then. What a pity," Kiki said as she put down her phone.Yvette reassured her, saying, "There's nothing to feel bad about. What happened today was a warning to Zoey that I'm not someone to be messed with."Kiki nodded, saying, "Yes."They all understood that as long as Zoey was the Zelnik family's daughter, she would always have someone to protect her.Kiki said, "Gemma treats her adopted daughter so well. If she had her own kids, they'd definitely be happy too.""Yes, indeed."Yvette admired Zoey for having such a supportive mother who stood by her no matter what happened.Kiki asked, "Yvvy, have you ever thought about finding your biological mother?"She suddenly realized that many parents who abandoned their children might have done so because they had no other choice, or perhaps they did so for other reasons.Yvette shook her head. "I don't want to be disappointed again."Parents who could abandon their daughter at the orphanage probably didn't love her very much.
Kiki nodded and said, "Yes, it's them. They're incredibly arrogant. Just thinking about it still makes me really angry."Yvette picked up her phone and made a call. A bodyguard that was stationed nearby answered her.Kiki overheard her telling the person on the phone to isolate a few of them and beat them up."What do you mean?"Kiki still didn't understand what was happening.The driver started the car and drove them to a secluded location.Kiki then realized that all the people who had previously pushed her were now being cornered and beaten up."Yvvy, this is...""I can tolerate it if they bully me, but I can't stand it when they bully you," Yvette said, enunciating each word clearly.Kiki felt moved. She hugged Yvette tightly, saying, "Yvvy, you're amazing! My true love!"Yvette couldn't help but laugh. "Dummy. You're my best friend. You stood by me, so of course, I'll stand by you."She was no longer the person she once was, with nothing to her name. Yvette now had weal
Zoey never imagined that Yvette had secretly recorded their conversation back then.She immediately told the approaching reporters, "Stop taking pictures."However, even if the reporters didn't take photos, the guests who attended would take pictures and record videos."With this whole mix-up between the real and fake daughters, is Zoey actually from the Yandell family or the Snyder family?"Lawrence was upset and said, "My daughter, of course, took my last name.""Ah, so Yara was having an affair..."The people who came to attend the funeral on behalf of the Snyder family were instantly displeased."Are you kidding? Yara has been with you all along. Do you think us Snyders are a bunch of nobodies?"The members of the Snyder family and the people from the Cadwell family suddenly started arguing fiercely.Yvette looked at everything happening before her and just felt a deep sense of sadness.Kiki was supporting her upright, fearing she might get unintentionally caught up in th
The people present whispered to each other, confused about what Yvette was trying to do."Yvette, we were in the wrong before. Please don't take our words too seriously."The ones who previously criticized Yvette were now pretending to say nice things, fearing retaliation from her.Zoey and Lawrence stood among the crowd, unsure of what Yvette was going to do or say.Yvette ignored the person speaking and instead pulled out a report. "This is a paternity test. I am not Ms. Cadwell's biological daughter."She spoke about it boldly and bluntly.Everyone present was stunned to hear that, including Zoey and Terrence.Terrence never imagined that the sister he grew up with was not actually the daughter of the Cadwells."Yvette, don't joke around," Terrence said while forcing a laugh.Yvette looked at Terrence and said, "I'm not joking. To avoid anyone thinking I'm faking it, I've undergone tests at several major hospitals. I'm definitely not a daughter of the Cadwell family or the
