"Can't you even wait for one morning? Why do you need to go in so badly?" asked Xavier.Yvette thought he had a bad attitude. "You're too much, Xavier. I'm Noah's mom, so I have the right to see him.""Oh, so you know this is too much, huh?" His voice turned cold. "So, isn't it too much for you to separate the kids from me for so many years?"Yvette felt as if she was struck in the heart. She took a step back and said, "Alright. I'll wait and see him again at noon."He walked up to her and said coldly, "I'm taking him back to Lane Mansion at noon."When she heard that, she immediately remembered what Clifford said to Shannon the other day. "No way. Noah has to stay with me.""Why? So that he can witness you dating some other man?" Xavier's words were harsh.Yvette was confused when she heard that. She didn't even know when she was on a date with someone. "What nonsense are you on again?""Why don't you search the news online instead of wasting your time on me?" Xavier still had
"Is that how much we have to pay?" Aaron was in disbelief."What do you think? You would always donate your money or use it to have fun. Now, we're incapable of paying them at all." Joel sighed.Aaron asked him to calculate how much they needed to pay. They would only be able to pay the compensation by selling the house they were currently living in."In that case, sell the house." Assets like houses and cars weren't that important to Aaron."You're kidding me!"Joel ignored him and started searching for companies that were willing to work with them. However, those companies had seen the news as well, and they all thought Aaron was about to meet his downfall. They said they would only talk about a partnership after the mess was resolved.When Joel asked IM Enterprise, they finally had a different response."The contract will last for three years, and our company can take care of all the negative news online for Aaron," Mark answered the call himself.Joel agreed to the contract
Yvette felt extremely awkward, and she immediately turned the volume down. However, the phone slipped out of her hand by accident, and it fell under the seat.Then, Kiki's voice messages came in one after another, and they were all playing by themselves."You have to let me know if you've decided to be with him. I want to meet him too. I've heard that he has never been in a relationship before. An innocent guy like him is at least a hundred times better than Xavier…"Yvette bent down to pick up the phone. However, it was stuck under the seat, and she couldn't get it out for a long time. Her face had gotten red as she tried nonstop.The driver in front had no idea what was going on. When he noticed the scene behind him, he misunderstood the situation. Then, he hurriedly looked away and put up the divider.When Yvette finally got the phone, she stopped the messages from playing.Xavier looked furious. "Didn't you say it was a normal partnership? Do you like younger guys?""As I've
When Marlene saw Noah, she immediately whispered to Fiona, "Mom, that's the kid. Don't underestimate him because he's a kid. He's actually a devious boy."When the latter heard that, she glared at Noah. "So you're the kid who hurt our dear Malcolm, huh?"Malcolm was sitting next to Fiona. When he saw how he was being protected that day, he looked at Noah in satisfaction. He thought Noah was still too weak to snatch the heir's position from him.Last night, Marlene had told Malcolm that Yvette had no one backing her up and that the Lane family and their assets still belonged to him.Yvette held Noah's hand and said, "Didn't I explain the situation clearly a few nights ago? Grandpa, do you need me to explain it to you again?"Clifford didn't like how arrogant Yvette was being at that moment. "Yvette, Malcolm was unconscious back then, and you were only telling me your side of the story. Now, Malcolm is telling me that he never thought about hitting Noah at all.""So, why did he com
Then, everyone heard Noah's voice next. "Are you talking to me? Why should I listen to you?""How dare you glare at me, you feral boy?""Since you want a face-off, do you dare to enter alone, Malcolm?""Why wouldn't I dare?"With just a short recording, everyone understood what had happened that day. Malcolm had never thought that Noah would record the conversation, and Marlene and the rest hadn't expected it, either."It's all fake… All of it was fake…" Malcolm looked at Clifford with teary eyes. "Great-Grandpa, that feral boy is tricking you."The way he said "feral boy" was exactly the same as the voice in the recording. Even if Clifford wanted to be biased, there was no way he could do it anymore. "I'm sure you've heard that too, guys. Malcolm was the one who stirred up trouble first."Marlene's parents had come to get justice for Malcolm that day, and there was no way they would accept the outcome.Henry harrumphed. "What can a short recording prove? Maybe that kid purpo
Xavier was tired of wasting his time on them, so he said to Yvette, "Let's go."She nodded. "Alright." Then, they left with Noah.Zayden smiled and muttered to himself, "What's with the pretense? Does he still think he's the CEO of Lane Group? How ridiculous!"They had no idea about the storm they were about to face.While Xavier and the rest were heading back, Yvette thanked him sincerely. "Thank you for protecting Noah.""He's my son, so there's no way I'm not protecting him. You don't have to thank me for it." He still sounded cold.She had a feeling that he would explode at any moment and didn't dare to say another word. Then, Xavier spoke again, "Why were you so sure that Noah wouldn't trick Malcolm into the maze?""Why would he know how to do that?" she asked. Yvette had always treated Noah as a harmless rabbit.Xavier stayed quiet for a moment and didn't show her the rest of the surveillance footage. In the second half of the video, Noah hadn't been in a rush to leave af
Aaron, the popular singer, was being told to be an ambassador for pills made for men who couldn't perform well in bed. He even had to say that he was too weak in bed for the commercial.Aaron's face darkened greatly. "Didn't you say I was supposed to be the brand ambassador for the company?"When Joel saw the details of the commercial, he gasped as well. "Hey, is there a mistake? Our dear Aaron is an international singer. You're dooming him by making him do this kind of commercial."If it weren't for the scandal that previous night, they wouldn't have signed the contract in a hurry to pay all the compensation fees.Mark looked at them mockingly. He couldn't believe they wanted to be their company's ambassador when Aaron had seduced a married woman."There's no mistake here. Mr. Miller is only suitable for this kind of commercial at the moment. If we let you be our company's ambassador, our reputation might be ruined because of you."Aaron immediately got up. "What do you mean by
Yvette rejected the invitation at first, but Kiki wouldn't stop bothering her about it. In the end, she caved and agreed to tag along. That night, Kiki came to pick her up. When she saw Yvette's face was covered in gauze, she asked caringly, "How's your wound now, Yvvy?""It has gotten better now. The doctor said I could remove the gauze soon.""That's good." When Kiki thought about how Yvette had been hurt the other day, she couldn't help trembling. "Let's go.""Sure." Yvette followed Kiki into a car and asked about how Zachary was doing."He feels like he's at home now, and Mr. Shaw Senior is bringing him to the gathering as well. Don't worry. He has bodyguards watching him 24 hours a day now, so nothing will happen to him again," said Kiki.Yvette nodded and said, "Kiki, I've told you about how Xavier knows Zac and Noah are his kids now, right? I think they'll be reunited soon."Kiki thought about it too and stayed silent for a moment. "I'll talk to Mr. Shaw Senior."Archib
