After Terrence got out of the car, Jackie, who was in the passenger seat, was a little confused."Mr. Jeremiah, I have looked into this man. He doesn't know how to run a company at all. Snyder Group lost all its money during the three years he was in charge. "The situation improved after Mr. Xavier acquired the company. He also transferred the Snyder family's funds to others. He's stupid."Jackie was under the impression that Terrence was the spoiled son of a wealthy family. Despite not knowing anything, he wanted to be a boss. No matter how much wealth he had, he would squander it.Jeremiah leaned back and murmured, "I don't need him to make money."Jackie was even more confused after hearing this. But she knew Jeremiah's "less talk, more action" personality.She changed the topic, saying, "Mr. Jeremiah, IM Enterprise has recently poached all of our artists.""Have you not found out who's behind it yet?"Jackie shook her head. "No, sir. All we know is that the company is regi
Yvette smiled: "It's worth it to exchange my life for yours, Ms. Zelnik."Gemma didn't expect her to have the guts to do something like this."Yvette, isn't your child alive and well? If something happens to you, who will take care of him?" Gemma was not afraid of death; she had already died once. However, she didn't want to die now; she still wanted to find her daughter, whom she had never met.As Yvette exerted a little more force, the dagger pierced Gemma's skin.She slowly said, "The Lane family will take care of him. My death will not affect him at all."Gemma's eyebrows were sweaty from the pain. She didn't expect that the woman in front of her would dare to come alone to take revenge.Yvette didn't really want to kill her. After all, she still had to take care of Zachary and Noah. However, as a mother, she had to keep her children safe.She drew back the knife."Ms. Zelnik, I'm teaching you a lesson. You are not wrong for protecting your daughter, but not at the expense
Xavier held Yvette's hand. "No can do. I want to celebrate it.""Celebrate it by yourself then." Yvette started to leave. Xavier gave her a hard tug, pulling her into his arms. "No. Let's go eat. You lead the way. My treat." He must have learned this somewhere.Yvette didn't want to go. Sensing this, Xavier held her tightly. They continued to stand in the cold wind. Yvette didn't expect him to act so shamelessly. At last, she could only agree to his request. "Let's go."As she hadn't gone out much since she'd been back, she didn't know anywhere that served good food.Seeing that it was getting late, Yvette looked around and finally chose a Perlinian restaurant with few people.As soon as the two entered, they attracted a lot of attention. Because Xavier couldn't see, Yvette had to hold his hand.Someone took out their phone to take a photo of Xavier's overly eye-catching face.Yvette swiftly blocked the woman with her hand. "Sorry. No photos allowed."The woman refused to
Yvette couldn't reply to those words. She focused on eating instead.She didn't know what was wrong with her. It seemed that she didn't dare to accept other people's help and kindness anymore, for fear of owing others favors.That was also why she didn't tell Kiki and Xavier even though she knew that Gemma and Zoey were behind what she and Zachary had gone through.Meanwhile, Xavier felt helpless as he listened to the sound of her eating. It felt awful to be ignored. He ended up not eating much.When leaving, Yvette went to hold his hand. "Let go."Xavier sat there unmovingly, rendering Yvette speechless. Was he actually throwing a tantrum?"Are you coming or not?" she added.Xavier didn't answer her. He stood up and hugged her. The hug was so tight that Yvette found it hard to breathe. She patted his arm, saying, "Let go! Why did you hug me?"They were about to go out when the door of the private room was opened.Zoey and Jeremiah, who had just come out of the next room aft
As Yvette looked at Xavier in confusion, he continued, "I can't see."The entire way there, they had received strange looks from people everywhere. Although Xavier couldn't see, he could sense them and hear the whispers around him.Yvette was silent for a moment before she replied, "I don't think being blind is a shameful thing in itself. The shameful ones are those who discriminate against others."Hearing Yvette's words, Xavier thought of the past when they had been together and how he had repeatedly showed his dislike toward Yvette for her poor hearing."Yvvy, I'm sorry."Yvette was stunned again. She didn't understand what was wrong with him today."What is it?""Nothing. Let's go back.""Okay." Yvette started the car.On the way back, Xavier asked her again, "How is Yara's fake illness?""An internationally renowned brain expert helped me find evidence. Yara will be locked up soon." Yvette replied.Xavier was a little surprised. He had already quietly arranged for Trist
However, Xavier refused him. "No, I'm not hungry. I don't feel like eating anymore."Noah shamelessly insisted, "No, you have to eat another one."Yvonne, who was watching the father and son, walked in."Noah, that's not very polite of you," she remarked.Noah didn't dare to force Xavier to eat anymore after Yvette scolded him.Even after Xavier left, Noah was unwilling to give up. He proceeded to take a small bite of a truffle, only to almost jump from the spiciness."It's spicy!"He picked up the water on the table and drank it. He had prepared a glass of hot water for Xavier. Now that he drank it, the spiciness only got worse."Ugh…"He was sure Xavier had fooled him. Still, wasn't his bastard father too good at acting? Noah couldn't bring himself to take more than a bit. And yet, Xavier had calmly finished a whole chocolate truffle!Noah looked at the other four chocolate truffles on the table and was ready to throw them into the trash can. Before he threw them in, Yvette
Sleepwalking?Noah frowned. "How is it possible? I've never sleepwalked."Xavier did not answer him. He only said, "Pack up and come to the company with me.""Okay."At the mention of going to the company, Noah suddenly perked up.Yvette learned that he was going to tag along with Xavier and didn't stop him. She only asked him to stay safe and not run around.Along the way, Noah looked at the scenery outside the window. He was in a good mood.An hour later, the car stopped in front of a luxurious office building.Noah thought IM Enterprise looked particularly familiar. Wasn't this the company Zachary mentioned? It had made a lot of money recently and has also taken away a lot of people's businesses.The Lane family was also investigating the person in charge of IM Enterprise."Mr. Xavier, is this your company?" Noah inquired."It is. What about it?""It's huge!" Noah commented sincerely. He now seemed to know a secret that no one else knew."How is it compared to your fath
Noah smiled, thinking to himself that he would teach Linda a lesson since she wanted to be his stepmother so badly. Linda clearly stiffened. She was confused by the sudden shift in his demeanor when he'd seemed fine earlier.It was only then that Mark found out about her intentions. He eyed her coldly before taking Noah back.He figured that he should reorganize the CEO's secretariat department in two days' time.…The driver drove them back home during the night. As Noah sat with Xavier in the car, he asked tentatively, "There are so many pretty ladies in your company, Mr. Xavier. Why do you like my mom then?"Upon hearing the question, Xavier did not hesitate in answering, "I don't know."If he'd known why he liked Yvette, he would have known how to handle his feelings and wouldn't let himself be so troubled.Noah choked. Before he could say something, the driver said, "There's a car trailing after us, Mr. Lane."Ever since IM Enterprise had made a name for itself, many com
