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.
Ray told Yvette about everything he had discovered during his investigation. However, he was more curious about the person who'd helped him."I'll let you know if I find out anything new.""Thank you."As Yvette continued grasping her phone, she felt devastated. She'd only had a hunch previously, and she hadn't expected it to be true at all. She thought Terrence was dumb for transferring everything they had to someone else.Seeing that she was done talking on the phone, Xavier asked, "What's wrong?"She told him everything, thinking she'd just consider him like a good listener."So, what are you planning to do?" Xavier had long known about it. However, he'd never cared in the past."I'm going to take back everything that belongs to my family."It wouldn't have mattered as much if Terrence had lost everything due to a business failure. However, it turned out that he'd been scammed instead. Now, Yvette finally understood why James had made a backup will back then. She figured h
Xavier didn't look like he'd calmed down at all. In an attempt to get rid of the awkwardness, Yvette asked, "Aren't you supposed to be at work now?"He looked even more upset now. After all, he hadn't even left the house to begin with. How could he possibly be at work at that moment? "I don't have work today.""Oh. In that case, get some rest." Yvette stood up after saying that.However, Xavier blocked her path. "Don't you have anything else to say to me?"Yvette thought about last night and said, "No. I still have work to do, so I can't talk now."Just as she was about to leave the room, he embraced her tightly. He gulped slightly and said, "Yvette, please remember that I'm not Jeremiah. I'll never be like him either."Yvette was stunned, and she looked up at him. "Are your memories back?""No." Xavier placed his hand on her face and caressed her cheek. "I just don't like it when you treat me like someone else."She avoided looking at him. "I'm not. I only called you the wrong
At Titan Corporation, Jeremiah had just gotten someone to see Zoey off. Jackie looked upset as she approached him. "Mr. Jeremiah, are you really going to get engaged to her?"She thought Zoey wasn't suitable for him. After all, Zoey was too arrogant and focused too much on benefits, despite being an impressive woman herself.Jeremiah leisurely took a sip of water. There were no discernible emotions behind his gentle gaze. "It's time for me to get married at this age anyway."After all, most people his age already had children in kindergarten."If you're getting married out of necessity, isn't it a little—"Before she could finish speaking, he interrupted her. "You should get back to work."Hearing that, Jackie had no choice but to leave angrily.Soon, invitations for the engagement were sent out. Naturally, Xavier received one too. He was working when he got it. As he quietly listened to Mark telling him about Jeremiah and Zoey's engagement, he leaned back into his chair."Shal
