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
Xavier only got off work after he was done arranging everything. When he arrived at Dewberry Manor, he just stayed in the car."We're here, Mr. Lane." Mark couldn't help reminding him. Then, he finally got out of the vehicle.Yvette had fallen asleep on the couch while scrolling through her phone because she'd been too tired. When Xavier returned, Wendy told him Yvette was on the couch. So, he approached her and reached out to grab her arm."Jeremiah…" Since Jeremiah had grabbed her the same way at the gathering, she instinctively called out his name.Xavier released her arm immediately.Yvette woke up in shock because of what she had said. When she opened her eyes, she saw Xavier standing in front of her with a cold face. "You're back."When Xavier heard that, he didn't answer her. Instead, he headed upstairs right away. Yvette was stunned when she realized she'd been ignored.That night, Xavier slept in his own room, and Yvette slept alone, too.When Noah got up to use the to
It was a surprisingly warm day, and the sun shone into the bedroom through the window. When Yvette woke up, most of the snow outside had melted.She looked at the time, and it was already 9:00 am. She needed to remove the gauze at the hospital that day. After she was done taking care of Noah, he grabbed her hand when she was about to leave. "Mom, Mr. Xavier really is my dad, isn't he?"She knew she had to face it eventually, so she nodded. "Yeah.""Mom, I have a dad now too! I'm not a feral boy anymore, right?" His eyes lit up more than usual.When she heard him calling himself a feral boy, she felt extremely bad. She owed him too much for the past few years. "Of course! My dear Noah and Zac have a dad and a mom."Noah added, "Mom, when you get back from the hospital today, can we visit Zac at his school with Dad? I want to give Zac a surprise."When she heard that, she remembered how cold Xavier had been recently. She wasn't sure if he would agree to it. "If you want to see Zac,
