Yvette asked in a daze, "What news?""The trending news online. You'll know when you see it. I knew Xavier was a bastard!" Kiki gripped her phone tightly.Yvette returned to her senses a little and looked to her side. Xavier was still sound asleep. "Hold on. I'll take a look right now."After she ended the call and went online, she immediately saw the number one trending news. She tapped on the links and saw the photos clearly. In the photos, Daphne was in Xavier's embrace, and it looked like they were wearing nothing under the blanket.Yvette thought she'd stopped caring about it a long time ago. However, when she saw the photos, she felt her heart aching.Then, Kiki sent her a message. "Yvvy, don't be angry. There are a lot of men for you to choose from."Yvette replied, "Yeah, I know. I'm fine." She couldn't sleep anymore, and she was prepared to get out of bed.Xavier slowly opened his eyes and pulled her back into his arms. "What time is it?"Yvette seemed to have returned
The comments online were getting out of hand. Even after the news was removed, people were still talking about it. Everyone had already forgotten all about Daphne, but she now became infamous again after making the news once more.Tristan saw the news as well and was confused. He wondered who was the one who leaked the photos when Daphne had died at the asylum. After all, no one else knew that she'd been sent to the asylum, let alone about the fire.Then, he started wondering if it was Xavier's enemies from the past.He walked out after closing the news and saw Kiki alone outside. He got closer to her and realized she was plucking the grass. "What are you doing?" he asked in confusion.She stopped plucking the grass and looked up at him. When she saw his lazy expression, she thought about the news again. "It's none of your business," she said angrily.She was feeling furious on behalf of Yvette after seeing the news. Who wouldn't mind when their partners were exposed through photo
Xavier said, "I've told someone to remove the trending news, and it won't appear again."When Yvette heard that, she still felt complicated. "Sure."He wanted to explain how he'd never done any of those things with Daphne before, but he was still pretending to have lost his memories.He couldn't see how she looked at that moment, and he didn't know if she was still angry. He reached out to her, and she instinctively avoided him. Yvette didn't know why she was still upset after seeing the photos of him and Daphne in bed.Xavier's hand froze in midair."I don't think I can touch you right now. I'm sorry." After she said that, she took a step back.Throughout the past few years, she'd never touched any other men before. Naturally, she didn't like how tainted Xavier was. Back then, Xavier and Daphne's relationship hadn't even lasted a year, and Yvette thought the most they could've done was kiss.Xavier's heart started aching. He didn't understand why she wouldn't want to touch him
"The boy is still asleep, so you can't see him now," Xavier rejected Tristan's request coldly.The latter hadn't expected him to be that cold and said, "Xav, I've already visited twice. Can't you let me see him for once? I promise I won't disturb his sleep.""No."Tristan couldn't believe how much Xavier was pampering his child, so much so that no one was allowed to see him. Since he'd failed to see Noah again, he was upset. "Fine. I'm going to the washroom."Since Xavier wouldn't let him see Noah, he decided to sneak a peek by himself.…Yvette was taking a walk in the garden outside with Kiki. Kiki didn't mention the news because she was worried Yvette might be upset. So, she decided to talk about what had happened recently.Yvette knew what Kiki was worried about and promised her that she wouldn't let herself feel aggrieved again. Hearing that, Kiki finally felt like she could relax."If anything is troubling you, you have to let me know. Just to keep it to yourself."Yvett
"No wonder Zac looks familiar to me. So, he's Xav's son, huh?" Tristan thought about it and realized that Zachary looked similar to how Xavier had looked as a child.Kiki was frustrated. When had she said that Zachary was Xavier's son? If she explained it now, Tristan would definitely look into it. So, she decided to keep quiet and not make things worse."Well, when are you planning to return Zac?" Before she could say anything, Tristan added with his eyebrows raised, "Since Grandpa likes Zac so much, he's going to kick you out if he finds out the truth."He assumed Kiki would be afraid since he thought she wouldn't be able to join a great family like his. However, she just yawned and said, "Well, that's great. I don't want to marry you anyway."She was just worried that Archibald would be disappointed. After all, he liked Zachary a lot.Tristan was stunned, and he cursed at her in his mind. "Well, don't tell him the truth just yet, and we'll see how it goes from here," he said wi
Terrence was stirring a cup of coffee in a cafe. He had been waiting there for a long time. When he finally saw Yvette, he immediately stood up and forced out a smile. "Have a seat, Yvyy."She ignored his kind gestures. "The security guard told me you were looking for me. What do you want?""Mom was diagnosed with late-stage cancer," Terrence slowly told her while keeping his gaze on her.Yvette was stunned and in disbelief. "What did you say?""The police called me yesterday and told me that she suddenly fainted in the detention center. They took her to the hospital and found out she has brain cancer, and it's in the final stage now," he said again.Seeing how serious he looked, Yvette scoffed. "So, do you expect me to forgive her?"Yara had always lived in a great environment. Yvette thought there was no way she would have any cancer at all.Viola hadn't had any family, and Yvette had been like a daughter to her. If Yvette really went easy on Yara, the latter would have a ligh
After Yvette returned to the manor, she received news that Yara had gotten bail to receive treatment outside.Matthew called her and said, "Yvvy, did you receive the text I sent you? Yara was diagnosed with brain cancer, and she was bailed to receive treatment.""Yeah, I saw it."She stood outside, letting the cold wind blow on her face as she spoke on the phone. "Yara's not sick at all, Matthew. This is just one of her tricks to avoid punishment.""That's my guess as well. After all, it's too coincidental for her to get brain cancer within a month of getting locked up. How's that even possible?""Do you know how we can get her back in jail?"Yvette didn't want Viola's death to be in vain. Although Yara hadn't really killed Viola, she had pushed the latter's buttons over and over again. Otherwise, Viola wouldn't have done what she'd decided to do."Only if we can prove that the doctor faked the diagnosis." Matthew sighed again. "But why would they admit to it when they were the
Yvette immediately tensed up and pushed Xavier. However, she couldn't move him at all. "Don't you have anything better to do?"He didn't answer her and just started kissing her. Yvette felt her blood gushing through her veins, and her face felt warm. Then, she bit his lips. Xavier appeared to be unaffected by it, and he didn't stop kissing her.She didn't know what else to do with him, and her eyes turned red in anger. She could even taste blood in her mouth."Well, do you hate that?" He held her face and caressed her lips with his finger.She avoided his touch and answered with a question, "What would you do if you saw photos of me sleeping with another man?"He would've started a war by now.As expected, Xavier said nothing. While he stayed silent, Yvette bit him again, this time on his shoulder. The bite mark she left on it previously was still there."Why aren't you answering me?" she asked.Xavier hugged her tight again. "I would've killed the man."She looked at him in s
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
Ray was skilled at following people. Yvette was in the car ahead and was completely unaware she was being tailed.It was only when Yvette arrived at the manor that Ray realized she was there to see Xavier.Noah was feeling uneasy and anxious "Does Mom have another family outside of ours?"He had no idea that Yvette had such a private manor like this.Ray sat at the side, saying, "I think you misunderstood."He wasn't sure if he should share so much with a child, so he just said, "Let's go back.""No way. I'm not going back." Noah gripped Ray's arm tightly. "Mr. Septer, do you think Mom has another child outside?"Ray sighed a bit helplessly: "How could that be? Don't overthink it."Noah was feeling a bit flustered. "Then does Mom have a boyfriend?"He was really worried about Yvette's safety right now. Noah secretly sent his current address to Zachary.Once Yvette entered the manor, Noah and Ray quickly lost sight of her movements."Noah, let's head back now. It's getting la
Shannon was taken aback to hear that. After all, it was Xavier who took the initiative to divorce Yvette, abandoning not only their children but also the ones Yvette was carrying.But now that something had happened to Xavier, Yvette was surprisingly still willing to take care of him.Shannon thought about Xavier, who now had violent tendencies. "Yvvy, Xav isn't just intellectually challenged now. He also has violent tendencies. The maids and butler who look after him often get hurt. If you go over there and he happens to lose control, what would you do?"Her biggest concern was the two babies Yvette was carrying."Mom, I've been married to Xavier for many years, so I'm not afraid of these things. If he wakes up and has another episode, I'll just have someone else take care of him. Do you think that's okay?" Yvette asked earnestly.Shannon simply couldn't find another reason to say no to her.However, she also said, "You might not be aware of this, but Mr. Lane Senior has arrange
"What's the situation with Mr. Lane now?" Mark asked.Yvette didn't answer his question but instead asked him, "Mr. Xyrax, shouldn't this be something you should be asking yourself?""You told me not to get involved since Xavier and I are already divorced," Yvette continued.Mark spoke that way because Xavier instructed him that if he ever became a fool, he should not become a burden to Yvette or cause her any worry.But recently, Mark noticed that Xavier hadn't been doing well.He investigated and discovered that Jeremiah had confined Xavier, severely restricting his movements. He was practically living in inhumane conditions.Mark wanted to rescue Xavier, but the security around the manor was too tight.He knew that Jeremiah had special feelings for Yvette, so he thought about asking Yvette for help."Mrs. Lane, you probably understand Mr. Lane's intentions by now, right? He had a check-up and discovered that there was a piece of glass embedded in his head, pressing against t
When Jeremiah's kindness toward Yvette was mentioned, Zoey's expression immediately darkened."Don't go making things up. Jerry said that the reason he kept Yvette was because it was his mom's decision, and he couldn't go against her wishes." Even though she said this, she knew she wasn't fooling anyone, not even herself.Marlene scoffed disdainfully. "I would hope that's the case."Her heels clacked as she walked away, brushing past Zoey.Zoey finally managed to calm herself down after dealing with Xandra, but now she was once again feeling a storm of emotions inside.She needed to get rid of Yvette! Otherwise, Marlene would really feel that Zoey couldn't compare to Yvette in terms of her place in Jerry's heart.Zoey quickly came up with a solution. She would leverage the collaboration between the Zelnik family and Lane Group.The collaboration between the two companies was critical as it affected a major shareholder and both Titan Corporation's and Jeremiah's futures.If Yv
