After letting Noah return to the house, Xavier called Shannon and told her to stop being a busybody. He seldom lectured her, and she was upset about it. So, she told him about Yvette and Jeremiah to make things worse. "Xav, you might have lost your memories and sight, but you're still a Lane. You can have any woman you want. "A fickle woman like Yvette who's interested in her own brother-in-law isn't worthy of being part of our family at all. If it weren't for the two…"She stopped herself from mentioning the kids. After all, she hadn't gotten to the bottom of it yet. So, it wouldn't be wise for her to tell him about it."What have you heard?" Xavier narrowed his eyes.Shannon's heart skipped a beat, and she was clearly acting unnatural. "No one has to tell me anything about it. I've seen Yvette and Jerry being intimate with my own eyes."Liars would tend to lie to themselves first.Xavier tightened his grip on his phone until his knuckles turned white. "Don't bring this up ev
"Sure, I'll give you one last chance," said Jeremiah.Daphne let out a breath of relief. "Mr. Jeremiah, don't forget your promise. You said you would help me get back into the entertainment industry if I succeeded in my task.""Of course."Then, she finally told him her plan. Although it was a vicious plan, it was a surefire way to make Yvette give up on Xavier entirely. So, Jeremiah agreed to it.…When Xavier returned to the manor, he told his men to check the surveillance cameras. As expected, he was told that Jeremiah was in a car outside, talking to Daphne. Xavier's gaze went cold. It seemed like he had to get Jeremiah out of the country as soon as possible.Unfortunately, he couldn't see anything at that moment, and it made everything difficult.Meanwhile, Yvette had finished the preparations for the festival dinner. All she needed to do was finish cooking everything when the time came.When she saw Noah entering the manor, she couldn't help being confused. "Didn't you
Yvette was slightly stunned, and she looked up at Xavier and honestly answered, "I don't know. I just want to take good care of the kids now."She also wanted to take back everything that belonged to the Snyder family. Then, after she gave birth, she would use the cord blood for Noah's surgery."If you mind, we should just—" Before she could finish her words, he interrupted her. "I don't mind it."There was no way he wouldn't mind it. However, if he told her how he felt, she would want to leave again. Xavier had never had such a humbling experience before."It's cold out here. Shall I carry you back inside?" he asked with a hoarse voice, and she could feel his warm breath on her head.She hurriedly shook her head. "No. I can walk by myself."After struggling out of his embrace, she quickly returned to the manor. Xavier steadily followed behind her.Although it was snowing, Yvette didn't feel cold that day at all. Xavier just sat by her side as he typed away on his keyboard. Si
The two ladies looked young and youthful. Yvette was slightly surprised. After all, Xavier was at least ten years older than them and was most likely their uncles' age.He frowned slightly and said, "Scram."That one simple word was enough to make their faces even redder. Just a second ago, they had been blushing because they were shy. At that moment, they were shocked, embarrassed, and angry.Yvette was shocked as well. She had never thought his temper would be that bad. Xavier had never raised his voice after he had lost his memories, let alone told someone to scram. As she had expected, getting rid of old habits was hard. He couldn't pretend to be gentle all the time.Yvette hurriedly approached them to clear the awkward tension. "I've bought the snacks. Let's go now."When Xavier heard her voice, his cold face slowly became gentle.When the ladies saw how beautiful Yvette was, they were both stunned. When she politely smiled at them, they became more embarrassed and tugged
Yvette remembered how angry Xavier had looked back then. He had dragged her to a secluded place and scolded her. "Do you think I'm not embarrassed enough?"He had then tossed the bouquet she had brought into the trash can and said, "If you're bored, find a job. Stop doing useless shit like this all the time."Back then, Yvette had stood still and looked at him in disappointment. "Usually, a guy would confess to the woman he likes. I thought you would feel happy if I confessed to you instead."After all, they were already married, but things hadn't progressed between them at all. "Don't talk about love with me in the future. It's childish," he said.From then on, she hadn't dared to mention anything about love anymore. Usually, there were so many intimate couples on the streets, all expressing how much they loved each other. She had never experienced how it felt.That day, someone started setting the fireworks before the sky even got dark. The loud explosion from the distance pul
Xavier heard footsteps and looked toward the door. Yvette didn't call out to him but walked right up to him instead. "Did you injure Claude?"Xavier's breath caught in his throat. "Don't lie," Yvette pressed.Xavier felt a pang of guilt and responded in a muffled voice, "Yes.""Are you serious? You hit him?" Yvette couldn't believe it.Despite being visually impaired, he had managed to beat Claude—and severely at that. Yvette was furious beyond words, and she lashed out at Xavier, striking him hard on the shoulder.Xavier's brows knit together in shock. He hadn't expected Yvette to hit him over Claude. Though the punch wasn't hard, it bothered him. What was so special about that man? So what if he beat him up? Claude should count himself lucky Xavier hadn't buried him outright.Despite what he was thinking, Xavier didn't dare say it out loud. "Yvvy, guys butt heads all the time, especially since we're rivals in love. A bit of a scrap is nothing to worry about.""A scrap, you
As soon as Yvette got home, she handed the food she bought to Noah, telling him to have a snack first. Then, she busied herself in the kitchen, ignoring Xavier. Xavier had hoped her bad mood would blow over soon. But Yvette continued to ignore him during dinner.Noah noticed the strange atmosphere between them. It seemed like his bastard father had made Yvette angry. No one was happier than him. He thought it served Xavier right.During the meal, Noah deliberately made a show of things in front of Xavier. He served Yvette food and asked her to feed him. "Mom, I want some chicken, but it's too far. Can you feed me?""Sure," Yvette responded, attending to Noah the entire time.Xavier fumbled with his cutlery a few times and didn't manage to get any food. He ignored her, too. After dinner, everyone gathered to watch TV in the living room, but only Yvette and Noah talked.When Yvette went to the bathroom, Noah proudly taunted Xavier. "Mr. Xavier, now you see, I'm Mom's precious on
"Fine, we can discuss this further once you've apologized and made things right. Now let go; I'm going to shower," Yvette said.Xavier released her. His hand still bore faint bite marks from Yvette's teeth. After she left, he called Mark. "Have someone look into Claude. Find out where he is now."Mark was puzzled. Did his boss want someone dead tonight when it was such a happy festival?"We checked a few days ago, Mr. Lane. Claude still hasn't recovered yet. Should we go easy on him?"Xavier's next words shocked Mark even more. "Send men to protect him. Don't let him die.""What?" Mark thought he'd misheard."Yvette found out about Claude. She wants me to apologize and compensate him. Arrange to return some of the previous projects to him as compensation." Xavier spoke with reluctance. This was the first time he'd ever done such a thing.Mark realized Xavier wasn't acting out of kindness; it was all for Yvette. "Yes, I'll handle it right away.""Make sure to leave evidence fo
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
