Chapter 432

Author: Beanie Gold
After the engagement party began, Zoey took the stage to thank her relatives. When she mentioned her mother, Yara's eyes sparkled. She was just about to step forward when Yvette kindly held her back.

"The Lane family invited Gemma Zelnik, her biological mother."

Having helped to organize the engagement party, Yvette was familiar with the ceremony's proceedings.

Yara's expression instantly changed with those words. Zoey had told her yesterday that Gemma wouldn't come and that she would be introduced to everyone as Zoey's mother.

Yara thought Yvette was lying, but then she saw Gemma, who had short hair and was dressed in a standard dress, stepping into view and walking toward Zoey.

Gemma had average looks, but her whole demeanor exuded competence and intelligence. Those were qualities that Yara, who had lived a life of luxury, lacked. Gemma was also somewhat famous internationally.

Upon Gemma's arrival, Zoey's eyes filled with admiration and pride. Compared to the insincere treatm

    "Why are you being so sarcastic? Aren't we also your family? Don't you want a strong family to support you, just like Zoey?" Terrence was getting agitated.A strong family to support her? Yvette found Terrence laughable."Wasn't the Snyder family powerful enough when Dad had just passed away? What support did you provide me?" she asked mockingly.If Terrence hadn't been foolish enough to violate the agreements between the Snyders and the Lanes by secretly transferring what was meant to be her wedding gifts, Xavier wouldn't have been so disgraced, nor would he have taken it out on her. If it hadn't been for Terrence, she wouldn't have been rendered unable to hold her head high in front of the Lanes.When Terrence was once again rebuffed by Yvette, he raised his hand as if to strike her. However, he could only gingerly let his hand fall when he remembered Tristan's warning from a few days ago."No matter what, we share the same bloodline. You can't just stand by and watch what bel

    When Zoey had been younger, she had also had a crush on Xavier. She had kept up with his life and had initially wanted to marry him. But now that he was blind, she had chosen Jeremiah, who was currently more accomplished than Xavier. She no longer cared about her past feelings.She said, "Xavier, Yvette, let's have a drink."To make it easier for Xavier, she handed the glass to him. All he had to do was raise his hand to take it. However, Xavier didn't take the glass; instead, he grabbed Yvette's hand. "My wife and I don't drink. Go toast with someone else," Xavier stated.Zoey froze and looked at Jeremiah. Jeremiah picked up his glass and handed it to Zoey. "If Xav and Yvette won't drink, we will.""Alright," Zoey agreed and drank it.Initially, the couple had been supposed to toast only their closest family, but Jeremiah ended up toasting to everyone present. He drank all the wine Zoey couldn't handle.By the end of the engagement party, Yvette finally saw Zachary. The ch

    Since Zoey started dating Jeremiah, he had always been a gentleman and hadn't touched her until now. Even though they were engaged, she still felt uneasy. For one, everyone talked about how Jeremiah had been ill and his health was poor, but no one knew the specifics of his illness. For another, she feared the engagement might not be stable. Because of that, she wanted to consummate their relationship tonight and make everything certain.When she finally got Jeremiah back to the room, she instructed the maids, "Everyone can leave now.""Yes, ma'am."After everyone had left, she approached Jeremiah. As she looked at his handsome face, her hand naturally fell upon him. "Jerry..."Jeremiah had drunk too much. His head was pounding, and he could hardly open his eyes. Seeing this, Zoey carefully began to undress him and lay down on the bed beside him.When Jeremiah felt her touch, he struggled to open his eyes. Under the influence of alcohol, his vision was blurry. Zoey, who resem

    Yvette was a bit confused. "What do you mean?""Don't play dumb. Why would Jerry call you 'Yvvy' in private?" Zoey's eyes were filled with anger.Yvette explained that they had known each other since they had been children.Zoey, however, was not convinced things were that simple. "Tell me the truth. Are you trying to take Jerry away from me? Now that Xavier isn't good enough, you've set your sights on Jerry, haven't you?"Yvette found her accusation ridiculous. She deadpanned, "I'm already married to Xavier. How could I possibly be trying to take Jeremiah from you?""Don't think I don't know you and Xavier have been having issues and are on the verge of divorce!" Zoey's mind was in turmoil, especially since Jeremiah had called out Yvette's name during such an intimate moment. "No one can take my man from me, not even if you're Yara's daughter! Just wait and see." With that, Zoey stormed off in a huff. Having long accepted that she and Jeremiah were never going to be together,

    Not long after Yvette left, Jeremiah was heading back when he saw Zoey standing not far away with an angry look on her face. A cold look flashed in his eyes as he recalled what had happened the previous night. He approached her slowly without saying a word."Don't you have anything to say to me?" Zoey, who hadn't realized her position yet, thought she would be pampered in the Lane family just as she was in the Yandell family."What should I say?" Jeremiah asked in return.Zoey was taken aback. "We are engaged! I am your fiancée; why can't I touch you?"She was too proud to ask Jeremiah about Yvette. After all, if it got out that he liked Yvette, Zoey's reputation would be the one that would suffer."Didn't we agree to do it after we're married?" Jeremiah's tone was gentle but laced with impatience.Zoey clenched her fists. "Aren't you being too conservative?"Jeremiah's dislike for her peaked at that moment. Just then, Jackie called. Jeremiah took the call as he reassured Zoey

    After Jeremiah spoke, he signaled to the bodyguards at the door to come in and carry Zoey out. Zoey wanted Jeremiah to take her, but thinking about what had been done to her, she felt too ashamed to insist. Jeremiah silently watched her leave, then took off his jacket, wiped his hands with it, and tossed it into a nearby trash can.…Meanwhile, in Tirion, everything was covered in a blanket of white snow. The river was encased in a thick layer of ice. Yvette leaned against the seat and gazed out the window. The warmth inside the car caused a thin layer of mist to form on the glass, making the view outside blurry. Curious to see what it was, she turned her attention back to the gift in her lap.Then, she took out a small, palm-sized, exquisitely crafted box from the bag and opened it. Her eyes widened in surprise at the sight. Inside the box was a beautifully made silver ring. It was the same ring she had personally engraved with both of their initials when they had been youn

    The two men waited in the car until nightfall.It would be easier for Xavier's subordinates to steal the ring when it was dark.After Yvette went inside, she casually placed the gift bag on the table and went to Viola's room, giving Hannah a break. Since Gideon had started treating Viola, the latter's mental state had improved significantly. If this continued, she might live for several more years.None of them noticed someone sneaking into the house. Shortly thereafter, the box containing the ring was brought to Xavier. Mark opened the box and studied the ring. "This ring looks cheap. It's hard to believe Mr. Jeremiah would give something like this as a gift."Xavier didn't believe Jeremiah would give something so cheap either. "Check if there's anything else."Mark examined the ring closely and noticed letters engraved inside—"XL & YS"."These seem to be initials. XL and YS—aren't those yours and Mrs. Lane's initials?" Mark asked with a smile. "Mr. Lane, could this be a s

    Xavier quickly walked in. Pretending not to see Yvette, he placed the gift bag down.Yvette asked suspiciously, "What are you doing with my stuff?" She walked downstairs and glanced into the bag, noticing the box was still there. "Did you look at it?" she asked again.Xavier stood still. "No. I can't see."Yvette didn't believe him. He had clearly taken it outside and probably had someone else look at it for him. "Do you want to know what's inside?" Yvette tried to trick him.Xavier's sleek eyebrows were slightly arched. "No."Yvette didn't get angry. She sat down and opened the bag herself. "Your brother's gift is quite valuable. It's a gold pendant. I decided to keep it. Is that okay?"Xavier silently listened to her deliberate deception, unable to call her out on it. Even though he thought there was no need to be jealous of what Yvette had done as a child, he begrudgingly responded, "Fine."Seeing his expression, Yvette understood that he knew what was inside. Not only had

    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
