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
Yvette was in Xavier's embrace when she woke up. When she looked around and didn't see Noah, she was confused.Her little movements also woke Xavier, and he pulled her back into his embrace. "Good morning.""Where's Noah?" she asked."There wasn't enough space here, so I took him to the guest bedroom," he said nonchalantly.Yvette looked at the huge bed that was more than six feet wide, thinking there was plenty of space. Just as she was prepared to get up, Xavier tightened his grip around her waist. Then, he gulped a little. "Let's sleep a little while longer."Since Yvette was wearing a thin layer of pajamas, they could feel each other's body temperature when they were so close to each other."No, I can't sleep anymore." She reached out to take his hands off, but he grabbed her hands instead."Be good," he whispered next to her ear. Yvette couldn't help shuddering when she heard his attractive voice and felt his warm breath.She looked up at his dashing face as the sunlight
Noah thought it was weird and wondered if Yvette had to take multiple steps to have a child. After all, his understanding was very limited when it came to this matter.While he was in deep thought, Yvette had already gotten dressed. She came out, blushing, and asked, "Mark, what are you doing here?"Mark lied, "I have some private matters that I would like to get Mr. Lane's opinion on."She nodded in embarrassment and took Noah downstairs.After Xavier and Mark talked for a short while, they left the house. Yvette didn't ask where they were going.After they came out, Mark told Xavier about the progression of the project acquisition over the past few months. After Xavier listened to the report, he said, "Thank you for your hard work. Since it's the festival tomorrow, you should take a few days off and rest well."When Mark heard that, he was shocked. That was his first time hearing Xavier thank him for his hard work. He wondered if the world was ending."Don't mention it. I was
When Kiki heard what the people in the room were saying about her, she frowned slightly. "Tristan, Grandpa told me to bring you home for dinner."When she spoke up, it suddenly became quiet in the room. Everyone looked at her in confusion at first. Then, they started to think about what she had said. When they returned to their senses, they had to hold back their laughter. They couldn't believe that the great Tristan Shaw was being told to go home for dinner.Tristan's face fell, and he pretended not to know her. Kiki didn't want to repeat herself, so she looked at Zachary. Zachary said unwillingly, "Great-Grandpa said you don't have to come home ever again if you return late again."After saying that, he looked at Kiki. "We've already passed the message, Mom. Let's go home."Kiki nodded. However, before she left, she glared at Tristan's friends and said loudly, "The Torres family might be small, but we've never cared about marrying someone from the Shaw family. They were the o
Now that she and Yvette had started talking about it, Kiki couldn't hold back."Yvvy, in hindsight, we kept thinking he was a bastard for not loving you because you mistook him for Jeremiah. But you were just a stranger to him. There was no way he could give you love when he felt nothing for you."The only flaw he had was blaming you for what your mother and brother did. At the end of the day, he's just a petty guy who's too prideful; he's not that much of a bastard."As Kiki realized that, she could finally relax a little.Yvette seriously listened to what Kiki said. "Yeah, I know."However, Kiki immediately said, "However, not only has he lost his memories, but he's also blind now. Yvvy, you'll have a hard life ahead if you stay with him."It would be hard for a blind man to make any money. Since he was part of the upper class, it would be more difficult for him.Kiki couldn't help worrying again when she thought about that. "Yvvy, you shouldn't let his good looks distract you
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
