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
Yvette tensed up and anxiously tried to get out of Jeremiah's arms. "I'm already married."Her eyes were filled with panic, and he could tell how much she was resisting him. His heart skipped a beat, and he only pulled his hands back after a long while. There was a lonely look in his eyes. "Then, can we still be friends in the future?"Yvette calmed down and looked at him. Then, she said softly, "Yeah. Not only are we friends now, but we're family as well. I'll attend your engagement.""Alright. I'll wait for you." Jeremiah forced out a smile."If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving now."Then, Yvette walked away in the snow. Jeremiah stood still next to the car as he watched her leave him slowly. It felt like she was buried under the snow at that moment.…Meanwhile, Jackie thought it was weird that Jeremiah hadn't returned to the office yet. It was the first time that she'd no idea where he was, so she couldn't resist calling him."Where are you now, Mr. Jeremiah?"He'd
Yvette was stunned. Then, she heard Michael bellowing in rage on the other end of the line. "Who's the father? I'm going to kill him!"Then, there were sounds of vases and other items being smashed. Zachary heard it too, and he hurriedly said, "Let's talk later, Mom. I'm going to check on Kiki now and stop Mr. Torres from punishing her.""Alright…"After Zachary ended the call, he went out of the bedroom.Kiki was lying on the couch without a care in the world, while Michael was furiously throwing things on the ground. Although he was smashing vases, he was being careful not to hurt her."Dad, please stop asking about it. I don't know who the father is either. After all, we just met once." She yawned and said, "So, stop trying to set me up with Tristan. Don't even arrange dates for me. Those rich guys aren't going to accept a woman with a child like me."Michael hadn't expected her not to know who the father of her child was. He felt disgraced. "You! How could you do this? Ho
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
