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
Yvette's body tensed up when she heard Zoey's name. Xavier could clearly feel the change in her body since he was holding her. "What's wrong?"She shook her head. "Nothing."He frowned, and the great mood he'd been in earlier was ruined in an instant. "If you don't want to go, I can go myself.""You heard what Viola said. Since I'm Jeremiah's sister-in-law, I should attend his engagement."Xavier finally felt better when he heard her acknowledging Jeremiah as her brother-in-law.When they reached home, they checked the gifts again. Then, Yvette plopped on the couch to rest. After a short while, her phone rang. When she answered the call, she heard a familiar voice before she could ask who it was."Yvvy, it's Jeremiah."Yvette instantly tensed up. Although they'd met before, they'd never talked in private. After all, they both had their own lives now."Can I help you?" She had a lot of questions she'd wanted to ask him. However, she didn't manage to ask a single question at th
Yvette had finally asked Jeremiah about it. He said, "You've been going to Lane Mansion since you were young, Yvvy. Have you ever heard about the Lanes having twins?"She shook her head. If she'd known that Xavier had a twin brother, she would've definitely wondered if she'd loved the wrong person before. However, despite visiting the Lanes multiple times after coming to Tirion, she had never heard that Xavier had a twin brother. No one outside the family had talked about it either."That's because I was diagnosed with a terrible sickness when I was born. I couldn't get too cold, and I couldn't be exposed to the harsh sunlight. "I spent most of my childhood in the ICU, and no one in my family thought I would survive. So, they never told the world about my existence. I only returned to Lane Mansion when my condition improved. "However, I was still too weak, so I almost had no contact with the outside world. Of course, you were the only exception."He continued explaining, "I to
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
