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
It was snowing heavily in Tirion, especially after the festival.In her rented apartment, Daphne couldn't help but feel upset while she looked at the people outside having fun. She could've been standing in the spotlight outside as well, but she couldn't do it because of Yvette. When she noticed the trending news had been removed, she clenched her phone tightly."I've finally gotten to where I am today. Am I going to become a nobody again?"At that moment, her phone started ringing. She took a look at it and saw it was Jeremiah calling her. Daphne immediately tensed up. "Hello, Mr. Jeremiah.""You have the photos and trending news now. When are you going to see Yvette?" He couldn't wait any longer."Mr. Jeremiah, it isn't that I don't want to see her. I'm just afraid.""About what?""Tristan has been visiting Xavier a lot. I'm worried about being seen by him…"She wanted someone to back her up and make her feel safe. Jeremiah had only made her hide in a corner of the city and
Gemma only left the washroom once she was done comforting Zoey.Hazel Tabitha, the director of the orphanage, said with a friendly face, "Ms. Zelnik, thank you for your sponsorship for the past decade. I'm sorry we can't provide you with any assistance."Gemma couldn't hide the disappointment in her eyes when she heard that. "Maybe she died a long time ago."Hazel comforted her. "Since we can't find the child, I'm sure she's still alive out there. So, don't give up. I'll contact you immediately if I receive any news."Gemma nodded. "Sure."After Gemma left, the staff next to Hazel couldn't help saying, "Ms. Zelnik has been looking for her daughter for more than 20 years, right? How did she lose the child in the first place?"Hazel sighed. "She had a tough life back then and wasn't as rich and powerful as she currently is. The child was taken away right after she was born, and she was left at our orphanage's doorstep in the middle of winter. If I hadn't seen her back then, she wou
When Yvette was done composing the songs and entered Noah's room that night, she realized the bed sheet and blanket had been changed. "Did you change the sheets and blanket yourself, Noah?""Mr. Xavier helped me.""So, where are the dirty sheets and blankets?""He said we could just throw them away since they were dirty."Yvette was speechless upon hearing his answer.Then, she crouched to the ground and patiently explained to him, "If the sheets and blankets are dirty again in the future, tell me about it. I'll change them for you."There's no need to throw them away because we can use them again after cleaning them. There are a lot of people who aren't as lucky as us.""That was what I told him just now," he answered seriously.When Yvette heard that, she figured she should talk to Xavier. She didn't want him to teach Noah how to be wasteful."Alright, I understand now. Remember to rest early." She kissed his forehead.Before she left, he grabbed her hand again. "He only he
When Yvette heard that, she bit Xavier's arm right away without holding back. Although she didn't bite too hard, it was still a little painful. He gently patted her on the back. "What did I do in your dreams?"Yvette slowly said with a hoarse voice, "You wanted me to get rid of the baby in my belly.""Oh, why would I do that, silly?"Although she wouldn't admit the child was his, he was certain of it. So, there was no way he could bear to get rid of their baby.She looked up at him. "Xavier, promise me you won't do anything to my children if you regain your memories, alright?""Sure. You have my word. If I hurt the kids, I'll die a terrible death."At that moment, he really wanted to tell her that he'd already regained his memories. However, he was worried that she would want to leave him again. After all, she was only staying by his side at that moment because she pitied him for losing his sight and memories.With Xavier's promise, Yvette could finally relax a little. Then, she
Xavier wanted to rebuild his business empire, so he had to socialize with other businessmen as well. The party wasn't just a simple gathering."Alright. In that case, I'll arrange for more people to go with you," said Mark.The Lumber family had tried to deal with Xavier before. However, they'd misunderstood Jeremiah for him back then. Since Jeremiah had been terribly ill, he'd been sent abroad to receive treatment.After that, Xavier had slowly expanded Lane Group, and he'd also gradually removed members from the previous generation of the Lumber family. At that moment, only the useless members remained.Sunny had even kneeled in front of Xavier before so that he could survive. Xavier hadn't killed him, but it wasn't out of mercy. Instead, he'd been worried that the other wealthy families would gang up on him to protect themselves.After all, anyone could do anything when they were forced into a corner."Sure," he answered.Mark thought of something else and asked, "Since every
