When they arrived at the mansion, it was already nighttime. The maid opened the car door and greeted them. "Mr. Xavier, Ms. Snyder, dinner is ready. We've been waiting for you."Xavier coldly asked the maid, "What did I tell you last time?"He remembered how he told all the maids to call Yvette Ms. Yvette before he lost his memories. When the maid heard that, she lowered her head and said, "Yes, I'm sorry, Mrs. Lane."She'd remembered what he had said. However, Jeremiah was the head of the house at that moment. On top of that, she'd targeted and ridiculed Yvette for a long time. Yvette hadn't expected Xavier to stand up for her. She was so surprised by his actions that she changed her mind about him a little again.After the two of them got out of the car, they headed for the dining room. Jeremiah and Zoey had been there for a long time. The latter was upset because of what had happened earlier that day.Soon, she saw Xavier walking in with Yvette, and she instantly locked her
Zoey stood up as well, wanting to follow them. However, Jeremiah stopped her. "Zoey, wait for me here."He sounded gentle, and she couldn't say no in front of Shannon. However, she still felt upset. After all, she was about to get engaged to him. So, he should be accompanying her back to the room first. After Jeremiah left the house, she clenched her fists so tightly that her nails dug into her palm.It was dark outside, and it was also snowing heavily. Yvette thought Jeremiah would only accompany them to the gates, so she didn't decline his offer. She walked forward while tugging on Xavier's clothes. However, her vision slowly became blurrier, and she couldn't see the path clearly anymore.She pinched her own hand to keep herself awake.Xavier knew Jeremiah was following behind them, so he grabbed Yvette's hand with his warm one.Yvette immediately sobered up. Just as she was about to pull her hand back, Xavier tightened his grip. Then, he said to Jeremiah, "You can leave
Yvette felt really uncomfortable in the car. The doctor had told her that she'd be fine if she had a few drinks, but she felt more uncomfortable than usual that day. She was hot and tired."Where are we going, Xavier? I think I'm getting car sick.""Just lean against me and sleep for a while. You'll feel better after that," Xavier gently coaxed her.She leaned on his shoulder and shut her eyes. They were so close to each other that he could smell the faint fragrance on her body. He gulped slightly and held back his urges.Finally, they arrived at the hospital. Xavier carried her into a private lounge, where the doctor examined Yvette. After about an hour, they found out that the wine hadn't been spiked with anything that was harmful to her body. She would be fine once the effects were over.Tristan rushed to the ward and asked, "What happened, Xav?"At that moment, Yvette was in a deep sleep. Xavier signaled for him to keep quiet, and they went out of the ward."Why is Yvette
Zoey looked arrogant. "After all, my stepmother is your biological mother."When Yvette heard that, she answered immediately, "If you want to be the second daughter-in-law of the Lane family, then you should treat me as your sister-in-law as well."Zoey was stunned. She didn't know why, but after she'd seen Jeremiah seeing Yvette off, she'd started to instinctively hate Yvette."I think I'll treat you as my younger sister for now. After all, I'm not married to Jeremiah yet."After saying that, she got closer to Yvette. "Yvette, I'm going to need your help with some shopping today."If it hadn't been for Jeremiah, Yvette wouldn't have spoken to Zoey at all. "Sure. Give me ten minutes." Then, she left Zoey alone in the living room and went to shower.Zoey felt right at home as she scanned the area. As expected of the greatest family in Tirion, Xavier's home was luxurious, despite his low profile. In comparison, Jeremiah's home looked simpler. Zoey was upset, wondering why Xavier co
Yara's face fell instantly. Just as she was about to ask if Yvette knew something, the latter added, "Why can't I even compare to your stepdaughter? Since you hate me so much, why did you give birth to me?"Yara's tense gaze finally relaxed a little. Then, she coldly mocked Yvette, saying, "If it weren't for your dad, I wouldn't have wanted you in the first place. Your existence is a mistake!"Yvette had heard that countless times and thought she would've gotten over it by now. However, she still felt hurt when she heard it. She probably wanted her mother to love her like everyone else.Before she left, she coldly looked at Yara. "If I had a choice, I wouldn't want to be your daughter either." After saying that, she hurriedly left.As Yara watched Yvette leave, she silently clenched her fists.Then, Zoey approached her and asked, "What were you two talking about, Mom?"Yara returned to her senses. She didn't look cold anymore; instead, she looked gentle. "It was nothing.""Mom,
Yvette only returned after taking Jeremiah back to his home. The moment she reached the living room, she felt cold. She couldn't believe the heater was off on such a cold day. She tightened her jacket and entered the living room.Then, she saw Xavier sitting on the couch alone, an aloof look on his dashing face. She hadn't seen him like that since he'd lost his memories."Why didn't you turn on the heater? Aren't you cold?" she asked.Xavier followed her voice and looked toward her. "Why would I feel cold when I'm burning with rage?"His enigmatic tone confused her more. "What do you mean? Why are you burning with rage?"Xavier hadn't expected her to still pretend to be innocent at a time like this. She was truly treating him like a blind man!Without wasting his breath on her, he took out a stack of photos and threw them at her. The photos scattered across the floor, all showing Yvette and Jeremiah hugging each other. They looked really intimate.Although Xavier couldn't see an
The next morning, the maids at home saw Xavier sleeping on the couch for the first time. When he heard someone walking in the living room, he immediately opened his eyes. "Yvvy.""It's me, Mr. Lane. Mrs. Lane isn't awake yet," said the maid.He frowned slightly. "Got it. Get out first. You don't have to come without my orders for the next few days."Since he was used to living in Sangine Country, he didn't like having too many maids around."Yes, Mr. Lane." The maids carefully went out and closed the door behind them.Now that Xavier had been woken up, he couldn't sleep anymore. So, he waited for Yvette to get up. Ever since she'd gotten pregnant, she'd started to wake up late every day. Since she'd accompanied Zoey for the whole afternoon when they'd gone shopping the day before and was tired, it was already 10:00 am by the time she woke up.After she washed up and headed downstairs, she could smell the delicious food. She didn't see Xavier at first. When she walked toward the
Cynthia gave Yvette a report on the company's recent situation. "Boss, at this rate, we'll be able to have astronomical earnings in no time. "When are you coming back? Aaron visited recently and said he wanted to see you. He wants your help with composing music again."Aaron Miller was a well-known international singer, and he was dashing. Cynthia couldn't bear to reject his request all the time."It's still early in the year. Let's wait when I'm free," said Yvette.Cynthia thought it was a shame. "Alright. I'll let him know later.""Sure."After they were done talking, they ended the call. Most of the tasks at the company abroad were handled by the employees, and all Yvette had to do was manage some of the important stuff.Since it was too quiet in the room, she decided to turn on the television. As she went through the channels, the entertainment news suddenly caught her attention. She saw Daphne on the television for the first time in a while, and the latter was facing the c
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
