Ever since Zoey had gotten her hands on Yara's private savings, she'd stopped visiting Yara. She hadn't even called the latter. Yara missed her a lot while staying at the hospital alone."I miss you, Zoey. When will you visit me again?""I'm really sorry, Mom. I've been too busy recently. Once I'm done with work, I'll visit you. Is that alright?" Zoey gave a perfunctory answer.Yara's gaze darkened a little. "Sure. So, what have you been up to—"Before she could finish her words, Zoey had already ended the call. Yara looked disappointed as she kept her gaze on the ended call.Yara's caretaker, Georgia Dipny, was standing outside the ward at that moment. Her daughter, Penelope Shea, had come over that day.She said to Georgia, "Mom, I'm making money now, so there's no need for you to work anymore. Let me take care of you.""It's alright. I'm still young, so I'm not tired.""But I'm worried about you. Take some money, and make sure you treat yourself well. Get yourself something
Georgia reacted quickly and grabbed Yara, so the latter didn't end up on the ground.Yara caught her breath and returned to the bed. Then, she pointed at Yvette and said to Georgia, "Did you see that? That's my so-called daughter. She's so ungrateful and unfilial that she came here just to ask me for money. She's even threatening to distrain what I have when I'm not giving her what she wants!"When Georgie heard that, she looked at Yvette in disbelief. Although she wasn't perfect at judging a person, she seldom made any mistake. Yvette seemed gentle to her, and Georgia couldn't tell she was a bad daughter at all.Yvette didn't explain herself and just said, "Since you don't have the money, I'll get it from the Yandells."She already had evidence that Yara had given all the money to the Yandell family."You wouldn't!" Yara looked angry. In Yvette's eyes, she was like a clown throwing a tantrum at that moment.Yvette looked around. She wasn't planning on leaving just like that. "
Marlene's parking spot was gone, and she had to walk there. When she saw Elena approaching her to flatter her, she looked disgusted. Her secretary, Shayla York, sensibly blocked Elena's path.Marlene scoffed. "Do you really think anyone can be my friend?"Although she was no longer the president of the parents' committee, she was still the daughter-in-law of the Lane family. Meanwhile, Elena was just the wife of a man who'd become rich by luck. She wasn't married into a rich family at all.Marlene had only talked to Elena in the past because she'd wanted to use the latter to attack Yvette. At that moment, Elena was clearly useless to her.Elena was suddenly stunned, and she stopped in her tracks. The mothers around her looked at her without any hint of sympathy at all. Instead, their gazes were mocking.Jacquline walked to Elena and said, "Listen to me and stop trying to please everyone in the future. If you do it too much, you'll get nothing in return."There was nothing wrong w
Marlene stumbled a few steps back. After she found her balance, she took a good look at the aloof man in front of her.She instinctively thought he was Yvvette's lover and couldn't help saying sarcastically, "Are you feeling lonely, Yvette? Does Xavier know about this man?"Ray frowned slightly. "I'm Ms. Snyder's bodyguard.""Bodyguard? Yeah, right!" Marlene hadn't expected a person like Yvette, who'd been humiliated a lot in the past, to hire a bodyguard.Yvette approached her and didn't try to explain who Ray was. Instead, she said with a deep voice, "Is one slap not enough?"Marlene immediately stopped talking. She frustratedly turned around in front of the crowd and walked toward Malcolm. Before she left, she glared at Yvette."Thank you for helping me. However, we've really offended Marlene this time." Jacqueline sincerely thanked Yvette from the side. She was a courageous woman. The only thing that would get on her nerves was people saying how she was taking care of a mis
When Yvette got out of the car with Zachary, Archibald smiled brightly. "There's my Zac."Zachary ran to him and greeted him, "Hello, Great-Grandpa."Archibald took out a few things and said, "Look! I made them when I was bored at home. What do you think?"Zachary pointed at a flawed carving spot and said without holding back, "That's awesome. But you should've carved this part more intricately."Archibald nodded. "Alright. I'll keep that in mind. You should head inside first. I want to have a word with your mom.""Alright."After Zachary entered the house, Yvette approached Archibald. "Mr. Shaw Senior."He looked at the scar on her beautiful face and couldn't help sighing. "Have you caught the culprit?"She shook her head. "It seems like he has escaped overseas.""He sure is bold to hurt you and Zac. No matter where he is, I'll do my best to catch him as well."Archibald wasn't just giving empty promises; he had already gotten his men to look into it. He knew it had somethin
Yvette froze. Since Xavier couldn't see, he didn't manage to kiss her lips. So, he bent down again to do it again.Noah's eyes widened as he thought Xavier had gone too far. He hadn't thought Xavier would actually do it! "Mom."Yvette immediately returned to her senses and avoided Xavier. Then, she pushed him. "That's enough. Let's stop this and eat now."Xavier smiled slightly. "Sure."Then, they started eating as a family. After they were done with their meal, they rested in the living room. When it was 9:00 pm, they each took a shower and prepared for bed.Noah grabbed Yvette's hand and said, "Mom, please continue sleeping with me and Dad."Just as she was about to say something, Xavier spoke first. "Noah, you're not a baby anymore, so you'll have to sleep by yourself."Noah was confused, and he didn't know what Xavier was doing. After all, he was trying to help the latter! Unfortunately, Xavier couldn't see anything, so Noah didn't know how he could send him signals."Alr
What Lawrence didn't know was that the shares he sold would be purchased by Xavier at a low price right away. He would think that he'd hit the jackpot."If we don't carry on with the lawsuit, doesn't it mean that we'll have to return the money to Yvette?" asked Zoey.Lawrence's gaze flashed with a cold glint. "Zoey, Yvette's able to make us return the money because I'm still married to your mom. If we get a divorce, then it'll be her responsibility alone."When she heard that, she didn't disagree at all. "Let's look for Mom tomorrow."Compared to Yara, she loved money more.…The next morning, Yara's ward was lively for once. Lawrence and Zoey had visited her. She thought they were there just to visit her, and she even ignored Lawrence on purpose. Instead, she just spoke to Zoey.Since Lawrence had never visited her before, he knew he was wrong. So, he had no choice but to send Zoey some signals. Zoey understood it. When he left the ward, she told Yara everything Yvette had done
"Mom, are you peeing again?" Zoey looked disgusted.Yara blushed in embarrassment and awkwardly pulled up her blanket, trying to cover the awful smell. Seeing how she looked, Zoey couldn't take it anymore. "Mom, why are you still afraid of a divorce when you're like this?"She was thinking that Yara should stop being a burden when the latter was about to die anyway. However, she didn't dare to say her thoughts out loud.Yara was extremely awkward. "Please go home first. I need to think about it.""Be quick about it. If we're too late, Yvette might take everything away."Zoey didn't want to stay there any longer, so she left with Lawrence.After they had left, Georgia immediately entered the room. "Madam Yara, are you alright? Shall I call a doctor now?"Yara's eyes were still red, and she shook her head. "No. Just change my bed sheets for me."It was rare for her to show her vulnerable side in front of others. Georgia helped her get up first before changing the sheets. Howeve
