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
"Oh, you silly girl. There's no such miracle doctor." Of course, Viola thought Yvette was just messing around.She patted Yvette's hand and said, "I don't want to live that long anyway. People might start disliking me for being too old. Besides, I think I've lived long enough."Yvette's eyes teared up, and she tried her best not to let the tears fall. "Nonsense. You've yet to watch Zac and Noah grow up. You'll also have to wait for them to get married and have children. Then, you'll be a great-grandma."When Viola thought about what Yvette said, her eyes lit up. Of course, she wanted all of that as well. But she also knew that her body wouldn't be able to hold on any longer. Having lived for decades, Viola was satisfied enough to have someone who was like a daughter to her.At that moment, she was just worried about Yvette. A few days ago, Viola had realized that Xavier had recovered some of his memories and that he wasn't in any debt at all. She could also tell how much he wante
When the people around them noticed Xavier's dashing looks, they couldn't help gossiping."It sure is nice to be good-looking. He has a sugar mommy even though he's blind.""What makes you think she's the sugar mommy? I think she looks great too.""That's true. So, is he the sugar daddy instead? Why would she even want a blind man?"A few women were carefully discussing among themselves while they were shopping. Xavier could hear them clearly. When he heard them calling him blind repeatedly, he started to get furious."Yvvy, please excuse me for a second.""Do you need my help?" Yvette asked."No."He tried going out by himself. He had memorized the path, and all he was worried about was walking into someone else. A female staff member immediately approached him to help him. She asked flatteringly, "Where are you going, sir? Let me help you, alright?"The smile on her face didn't last very long as he pushed her away and growled, "Get lost."The staff member was so startled
