After Marlene sent the message, she blocked Nia and Kinsey. She was really good at burning bridges. However, she had forgotten that they were still in the parents' committee group.Around 10:00 pm, Yvette's phone started going off nonstop. She wondered who could be messaging her at that hour. When she checked her phone, she realized that the group chat was filled with messages.First, Nia said, "Everyone, make sure you don't follow the wrong person and believe what Marlene promises you. She said she would treat us well if we could get rid of Ms. Snyder."But when it didn't work out, she called us dumb and told us to carry the burden ourselves! She was the one who said she would handle it if something were to go wrong."Kinsey was venting as well. "Marlene, you disgusting bitch! My man has left me because of you!"Yvette glanced through the messages. The women were chastising Marlene. It seemed like Marlene was away from her phone and hadn't seen the messages. That was probably why
Yvette decided to make the bed and enjoy breakfast first before thinking about the files again.When she arrived downstairs, she realized Xavier hadn't gone to work again. Instead, he was still in the living room. She approached him and asked, "Don't you have to work today?""Nope." He had already delegated most of his tasks to the others, and there wasn't much for him to do.Yvette thought the company was so small that he didn't have to do anything. She couldn't believe he had threatened her so strongly before.She went into the kitchen to make herself a simple breakfast. Then, she noticed there was a nutritious feast on the table. As expected, it was convenient to have a cook and a maid at home.Yvette's appetite had improved a lot, and she could eat two people's portions of food by herself. After she was done eating, she got up while holding her stuffed belly. Just as she was about to clean her plates, Xavier approached her."Go and get some rest. The hourly maid will come soo
Zoey hadn't mentioned marriage since she'd gotten engaged to Jeremiah.When Jeremiah heard Xavier say marriage, his eyes fell on Yvette involuntarily. Seeing her calm expression, he slowly said, "Okay. I'll arrange it."After that, he pulled his arm away from Zoey's grip. "Xavier, we'll be out of your hair since you're on your way for a prenatal check-up."Yvette only came back to her senses after he left.Seeing this, Xavier clenched her hand, asking in a lowered voice, "Are you sad?""What are you talking about?" Yvette asked out of confusion. She then realized how tightly Xavier was holding her hand. "Let go."Xavier didn't let go. "Already flying into a rage out of humiliation?"Yvette lowered her head to bite him.Xavier, who had long been accustomed to it, still didn't let go. However, the medical staff and patients around them looked at them with a strange look in their eyes.Yvette was embarrassed when she noticed it. She had no choice but to let go and stand still.T
Although Xavier remembered the route here, he couldn't see. Because of that. he would definitely bump into others while walking. He didn't like to fumble around trying to find his way, and he certainly wouldn't use a white cane.As there were many cars parked at the hospital entrance, the driver couldn't pull over immediately.Xavier stood there waiting for a long time until the driver found a parking spot. He had now learned a valuable lesson—never anger Yvette or any other pregnant woman when out in public.It was the first time the driver had seen Xavier so helpless. He never expected Yvette to leave her blind husband at the hospital's entrance. What if something had happened?"Mr. Lane, are you alright?" he asked, running over to Xavier.Xavier was already impatient from waiting. When the driver finally arrived, he managed not to lose his temper."Be quicker next time.""My apologies, Mr. Lane. It was difficult to find a parking spot outside," the driver apologized.Xavie
Yvette watched as the driver left in indignation. She reflected on whether she had been too harsh today. After all, Xavier couldn't see, and leaving him behind like that was a bit thoughtless of her.She put down the watering can and walked into the living room, where she found Xavier sitting on the couch with his eyes closed, looking like a wronged wife sulking.As Yvette approached and was about to speak, she noticed the documents in front of Xavier—they were all about Snyder Group's assets.She stared at them in shock.Xavier kept his eyes closed and spoke softly, "The documents you wanted are all here. Check if anything is missing."Hearing this and recalling the driver's words about Xavier waiting alone at the hospital's entrance for what seemed like half an hour, Yvette instantly felt a pang of guilt. "Um, I'm sorry."Xavier thought she was apologizing for leaving him alone at the hospital. He was surprised when she continued, "I shouldn't have left you alone at the hospita
At first, Shannon was somewhat displeased by being called outdated. However, her mood instantly lifted when she heard Noah's follow-up."Three lives?" she repeated.Noah nodded. "Yes! Mom is pregnant with two more brothers or sisters for me."Shannon was overjoyed. She had always wanted a grandson. Not only had Yvette unexpectedly brought twins home, but now she was expecting twins again. Once the babies were born, Shannon would have four grandchildren.Shannon's happiness was beyond words. She immediately got up and told Yvette, "Hurry, you're pregnant; you shouldn't stand for too long. Sit down."Yvette, who had only ever been treated with such courtesy when Shannon had persuaded her to become the Lane family's daughter-in-law, understood that this was all because of the babies she was pregnant with.She moved to a spot away from Shannon and sat down."Tomorrow, I'll have a nutritionist come to take care of you. She used to take care of me," Shannon informed her."No need."
Yvette clenched her fists and fixed a cold gaze on Carla. "What do you mean by 'Lane family's children'? The ones in my belly are also my children. Of course, I know what's good and what's not. As their mother, no one can care for them more than I do. I could even die for my children if necessary. Can you?"And as for my face, that's none of your business. If I want plastic surgery, I'll get it. It's not up to you to meddle."Carla was momentarily stunned. She had heard that Yvette was timid, but today, she was seeing for herself that that wasn't the case.Yvette stood up and extended her hand toward Carla. "Give me back my phone."Carla, determined not to be outdone, raised her hand. Just when Yvette thought Carla was going to return the phone, Carla let go, and the phone dropped to the ground with a crash, the screen shattering."Oh, sorry Mrs. Lane, I'm getting old. My hands are a bit unsteady.'Yvette knew that getting angry wasn't good for her. Instead of losing her temper
Marlene couldn't help but feel perplexed upon seeing Zoey. "What do you want?"As the eldest daughter-in-law, she was used to putting up airs and had completely forgotten about the last time Zoey had warned her.Zoey wasn't bothered about her attitude at all. "I was just here to visit Malcolm, Marlene. Is he doing alright now?"Marlene had plenty to talk about when it came to her son. She sat up and said, "He went to kindergarten today. The doctor said that we have to keep a close eye on him because of his previous frostbite encounter."She then sighed and continued, "Malcolm is my only son. What should I do if anything happens to him?""Oh dear, how did Yvette even raise her son? How could he trap Malcolm in the garden maze for a night? He's so cruel despite his young age." Zoey then continued, "I couldn't imagine such a mother is actually expecting twins again."Her key point was that it would be hard for Malcolm to take over Lane Group smoothly in the future now.Marlene wasn
