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
The cold wind blew, and Jeremiah didn't let go of Yvette's arm. He looked down at her and asked again, "Well, have you?"He'd thought about coming back to see her countless times when he'd been abroad. He couldn't believe she'd actually fallen in love with someone else. Not only that, but the person she loved was his own twin brother!Yvette didn't know what was wrong with her as well, and she denied it, "No."She'd only agreed to marry Xavier back then because she'd mistaken him for Jeremiah. Then, she'd gotten back together with him because of the two kids.Even though she had denied it, Jeremiah still hadn't relaxed. "Then, what about me?"His face looked unnaturally red in the night.Yvette shook her head. "It's all in the past now, so please let it go. I'm sorry.""I don't want you to apologize to me." Jeremiah lifted his other hand and was about to touch Yvette's face when they heard someone clapping coldly."What are you doing, Mr. Lane?" Tristan asked sarcastically whil
When Yvette learned what had happened, she was shocked. Kiki told her how Leonard had told her not to get married to Tristan. Of course, she hadn't been planning on listening to Leonard. While they had been arguing, Leonard had suddenly kissed her forcefully.Tristan had seen it happen, and he'd thrown a punch at Leonard without any hesitation. Leonard had never been about to admit defeat, so they'd started fighting."What does Leonard want?" Yvette frowned. "Isn't he married? Why is he telling you not to get married and doing something like that? He's such a bastard!"Kiki nodded. "Yeah. I really wanted to kill him back there." She leaned back against the seat and sighed."I really have no idea why I liked him before." She smiled self-mockingly. "I guess it was because of his looks. I'd never seen a man as gorgeous as him before…"When it came to looks, Yvette thought Tristan looked way better than Leonard. However, Kiki didn't like Tristan at all. The two just couldn't get alo
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
