Jeremiah reached out to pat the snow off of her body. However, Yvette avoided his hand instinctively. "Why are you here, Jeremiah?"When he saw how she reacted, his hand froze in midair for a while before he pulled it back."I saw the news and learned what happened with Viola. You told me that she was as important as your actual mother. So, I knew you would definitely be sad about her passing. That's why I decided to visit you."After saying that, he paid his respects to Viola's grave.Yvette didn't expect him to remember everything from the past so clearly, and she forced out a smile. "Thank you. I'm fine."Jeremiah saw how pale she looked and how red her eyes were. It didn't seem like she was fine at all."You don't have to act tough in front of me. I told you that I'll always be by your side no matter what."She just nodded slightly and didn't know what to say to him. After a long silence, she said, "I'm heading back now.""Let me take you home," he immediately said."There
After Kiki and Zachary were done paying their respects to Viola, they returned home with Yvette. Since Jeremiah's car was big, there was still a lot of space after they got inside.Kiki had ridden her fair share of luxurious cars before, especially recently with Zachary. However, it was her first time seeing a car full of medical equipment and a doctor. It felt as if they could receive treatment right away if something happened.After Jeremiah took them to Yvette's home and said goodbye to Yvette, he told the driver to drive home.Kiki stood next to Yvette and asked, "Where's Xavier?""I told him to come back with Noah first.""I see." Kiki saw how part of Yvette's clothes were drenched and couldn't help sighing. "How could he leave like that without staying with you or handing you an umbrella?"As her best friend, Kiki hoped she could find someone who could treat her right."I just wanted to have some time to myself. Let's go inside. It's cold out here, so you and Zac should av
When Xavier had been healthy and fine, Yvette had left him secretly. Now that he was blind, she was bold enough to tell him that she wanted to leave. He wondered if she thought he couldn't do anything about it anymore.Yvette didn't realize something was wrong with him as she kept her gaze down. "Didn't we have an agreement previously? You also promised me that we could get a divorce. I don't want to be with you."Xavier tightened his grip again. She was in so much pain that she gasped. "It hurts."He immediately loosened his grip a little. "I'm not agreeing to it.""I can compensate you by clearing part of your debt. Think of it as compensation for the accident," she continued. After all, he had protected her with his own body when the accident had happened.Xavier finally understood what it meant to have his heart broken."Who cares about the compensation?" He raised his voice and almost lost his temper."Then, what do you want? Tell me. As long as I can do it—"Before she co
Back in Tirion, news of Yara attacking someone had spread like wildfire. No matter how wealthy she was, there was no way she would be able to fix it immediately. It was also the first time she had felt so terrified.After Yvette returned to Tirion, she visited Yara in the detention center. The latter used to look fabulous. However, she looked pale at that moment."Yvette, where's the nanny?" she immediately asked after seeing Yvette.Although Viola had set Yara up, Yvette still hated the latter. "She's dead because of you."Yvette and Yara didn't feel like mother and daughter at all. Viola had finally gotten Yara locked up, so there was no way Yvette would let her out."She set me up. I didn't kill her at all!"Yvette's gaze was cold as she said, "Who would want to use their lives to set you up?"Seeing how Yvette didn't believe her, Yara clenched her fists in anger. "How should I know what was wrong with her? She wasn't afraid of death at all and wanted me to end up in jail!"
Noah had just finished receiving his treatment at the hospital. While he was resting, he had a feeling someone was watching him from outside. He looked out the window, but he didn't see anybody there."That's weird."His instincts were never wrong. So, he pretended to be asleep and closed his eyes. After a while, he opened his eyes again and saw a man with a camera crouching anxiously. Noah narrowed his eyes, looking exactly like Xavier did when he was thinking."Damn it. How dare you snap photos of me in secret? I didn't even pose!" Despite his words, he wondered how it could be.While he was lost in his thoughts, Yvette knocked on the door. "Baby, are you done resting? Let's go home now."Noah nodded and said, "Alright."He got out of the bed and put his shirt back on. Then, he left the hospital with Yvette."Mom, since the bad lady is locked up, does that mean she can't get out anymore?" He was referring to Yara.Yvette nodded. "Yeah.""That's good." As Noah spoke, he loo
An elegant woman stood on the top floor of Seasons Hotel, looking at the view of Tirion. She held a cigarette in her hand, and the smoke dispersed in the air. She narrowed her eyes, and no one could tell what was on her mind.Suddenly, someone knocked on the door, and she put out the cigarette. "Come in."Then, Zoey slowly opened the door and walked inside. "Mom."Gemma turned around, looking gentler compared to seconds ago. "Come here."After Zoey approached her, Gemma adjusted her shirt for her and asked, "How are you?"She had been busy dealing with overseas projects most of the time. After hearing about Yara killing someone, she had rushed back to check on Zoey.Zoey was like a silly bunny in front of Gemma. "I'm not doing well at all, Mom."Gemma's face fell immediately. "Who dares to make my daughter feel aggrieved? Was it Jeremiah?"She clenched her fists, thinking that Jeremiah had a death wish. She couldn't believe he would bully the Zelniks after he became the head of
The car stopped less than an inch away from Yvette. Her pupils constricted a little, but she remained calm. There were surveillance cameras, and she didn't believe that Gemma would dare to do anything to her in public.Gemma looked at the beautiful and calm woman in front of her. If it weren't for Zoey, she would've actually pitied Yvette."Are you really going to go against my daughter?" she asked.Yvette said honestly, "There's nothing going on between Jeremiah and me. Not now, not ever."She had decided to be with Xavier, so why would she accept Jeremiah? Besides, even if she didn't end up with Xavier, she still wouldn't be with Jeremiah. After all, she had a few kids."I hope that's the case."Then, Gemma told her driver to drive away. As she looked at Yvette in the rearview mirror, she couldn't help lighting up a cigarette. She wasn't sure if Yvette was an honest woman or if she was pretending.Gemma called Shannon to tell her about something. …Later that night, Shannon
"What have you heard?" Shannon had always cared a lot when it came to her sons.Zoey purposely kept her in suspense. "Nothing. It's probably not true. After all, Jerry's not that kind of person."That just made Shannon want to know more about it. "Stop beating around the bush and tell me about it now."Then, Zoey finally said slowly, "I've heard that Yvette used to like Jerry before and that they even dated once."Shannon felt like she had just heard the worst news in the world. She had never liked Yvette in the first place. After hearing that Yvette had funny ideas about Jeremiah, she immediately became infuriated."Not a day goes by peacefully with that woman around," she said coldly.Zoey grabbed her hand. "Please don't be mad, Madam Shannon. Actually, I don't believe that they've dated before. I'm just worried about…""What?""Well, I'm worried that Yvette isn't satisfied with what she has." She had a concerned look in her eyes."There's something else that I didn't want t
