Chapter 72

Author: Beanie Gold
He pretended to be wary. "My teacher said it's impolite to ask about other people's family situations, Mrs. Lane."

Shannon choked up, realizing that she had indeed asked too many questions. However, she also noticed that the child in front of her was clever. At such a young age, he knew that he had to be wary of strangers.

"I'm sorry. I was in the wrong." Shannon raised her hand to pat Zachary on the head, but he avoided her. Her hand froze in mid-air.

Malcolm was surprised that his great-aunt, who usually didn't pay much attention to him, was so fond of Zachary. He felt a little unhappy.

"Grandma Shannon, I still have to show Zac around the mansion. Please excuse us."

Shannon couldn't stop them. "Alright. You two have fun. If you need anything, come find me."

After the boys left, she was still determined to find out more about Zachary. So, she called her secretary over. "Look into this child's background, especially his parents."

"Understood."

    Before long, the car backed up and the window rolled down. Xavier shut the laptop in his hand and looked at Yvette. Yvette was dressed in an ivory-colored, backless gown that day. It made her skin appear even fairer than normal. His eyes lit up, but he wasn't surprised as the bodyguard had informed him when her and Kiki's car pulled up to Lane Mansion."What a coincidence," he said, a faint smile playing on his lips. Her eyes shimmered. "Indeed. What a coincidence.""Hop in," Xavier said without further ado. Yvette got into the car and sat next to him. "Did you come here to find me?" Outsiders had no idea this path existed. Only his driver would come here. "I wanted to see if this would jog my memory," she lied through her teeth.His expression was inscrutable when he heard that. He told his driver, "Head to my place first." Xavier was referring to his residence at Lane Mansion. "Yes, sir."Yvette wasn't sure what he meant. Xavier turned to face her and said, "Since you

    His voice was deep and raspy. Only he was aware of how torturous it had been to restrain himself. But he couldn't give in to his desires because he wanted to know what she was really up to.Yvette froze. Her eyes glistened as she asked, "Don't you want to do it?"Xavier was certain she had ulterior motives and abruptly sang a different tune. "I think you've gotten the wrong idea. I was just attempting to help you regain your memories. Let's stop here. It's time to go to the banquet, after all."Her expression darkened. Had he been toying with her while they kissed for the past six or seven minutes? However, she didn't let it show as she withdrew her hand from his body. Xavier went to the dressing room to change his clothes before accompanying her to the banquet. …Tristan and Archibald had also made an appearance at the birthday banquet. Like the other parents, Archibald wanted to use this opportunity to find a wife for Tristan. Tristan was forced to attend the banquet. After

    Daphne looked down at the little boy clinging to her legs. She narrowed her eyes discreetly, bent down, and smiled warmly. "Yep, that's me. Why are you here on your own, little one? Where are your parents?"She gazed at the child in front of her, noting his well-defined features and mesmerizing eyes. It was obvious that his parents weren't ordinary people.Zachary looked up at her innocently and said solemnly, "My housekeepers said you took my daddy away from me. Can you please give my daddy back to me?"Daphne stiffened. The socialites around them couldn't help but glance over, and their eyes were filled with disdain. People like them detested those rising starlets the most."How shameless!""She already has Mr. Lane, but she's still seducing other men?""No wonder Mr. Lane didn't Marry her. A woman like her is only good for fooling around with."Daphne felt utterly humiliated. suppressing her boiling anger, she crouched down and looked straight into Zachary's eyes. "You must

    "Understood."Tristan decided to let the little rascal tire himself out first. After all, Clifford's birthday banquet was in full swing at the moment, and it wouldn't do him good to spoil the fun. Besides, he had plenty of time on his hands.…Meanwhile, Xavier and Yvette arrived at the banquet in succession. Yvette didn't want to draw the attention of the other Lane family members, so she deliberately waited for a bit before walking in after Xavier. He noticed what she was doing and chose not to say a word. After that little commotion, Daphne did her best to bribe the reporters present. When she spotted Xavier, she immediately composed herself and walked over. "The banquet has already started, Xav. Everyone's here to celebrate Mr. Lane Senior's birthday. What took you so long? I've been waiting for you for a while now."Xavier was never one to report what he had done to others. Hence, he responded apathetically, "You don't have to wait for me then." Daphne was at a loss for

    Her son's reputation was more important than anything else. "Calm down, Dad. I'll kick her out right away."Meanwhile, Daphne still had no idea what had happened. She could only tell that the looks people were giving her were becoming increasingly strange.Shannon stormed over and hurled her phone at Daphne. "Just look at what you've done!"Daphne caught the phone and looked at it. Then, she realized the cat was out of the bag. She was about to explain herself when Shannon said, "Leave before you embarrass yourself any further!"For the Lane family, getting rid of a celebrity was child's play.Daphne never imagined she'd leave in such a humiliating way. She sat in the minivan, reeling from the shock. Everything clicked when she thought of what Yvette had said. It must've been Yvette's doing!…Meanwhile, Kiki saw the news as well. She and Yvette had planned this all along and chose to release it at this hour. As she watched Daphne being kicked out, she texted Yvette."Serves th

    How was it illegal for him to discipline his own son? Tristan was aware that she was playing hard to get. She probably just wanted to get him to admit that he was the little rascal's father. "You sure went to great lengths just to get close to me. I bet you were also the one who instructed him to do what he did the other day, huh?"Kiki was stumped. Zachary was equally shocked. Tristan crouched down, closed the distance between them, and looked at them coldly. "No matter what your intentions are, I will take responsibility for the child, but not for a woman like you."Yvette had told her that Tristan was a jerk, but she didn't realize how much of a jerk he was until she met him in person. Unable to control her temper, she slapped him. Tristan was dumbstruck."When did I ever ask you to take responsibility? I would rather marry a pig or a dog than be stuck with you!"Tristan had intended to take Zachary to a corner to teach him a lesson, but he hadn't expected Kiki to rush ove

    Kiki showed her the information she had found. The documents showed how Daphne had been using men abroad to become a singer."I only just found out how dirty she was." "I know," Yvette said."Why didn't you tell Xavier, then?" Kiki was confused.She had shown Yvette because she wanted her to show Xavier. Perhaps the two of them would be able to patch things up.Yvette knew what her intention was, but there was a faraway look in her eyes. "If Xavier wanted to find out about someone, he could do so very easily."Kiki finally understood."What does he see in Daphne then? Does he like how manipulative she is? I just don't understand what these men are thinking!"Yvette hadn't understood in the past either, but after reflecting on herself, she realized that she was just like Xavier. She knew that he didn't love her, but she still chose to marry him.Likewise, Xavier knew that Daphne wasn't a good person, but he still loved her. Love wasn't about whether the other party was a goo

    He saw Yvette from a distance. She was sitting at her computer and focusing intently on her work. Xavier strode quickly over to her and pushed the door open without knocking. The noise startled Yvette and made her jump. She looked up to see the cold look on his face. She thought about the news on Daphne that had emerged that morning, and how defensive Xavier had been the last time. Yvette instinctively assumed that Daphne had blamed her again and that Xavier was coming to accuse her. She stood up and took a step back. "Anything wrong, Mr. Lane?"Xavier saw how wary she was, and all he could think about was the child. "Come home with me right now!" He did not have the patience to keep up the charade of amnesia with her. Yvette's eyes were full of surprise. Go home? What home? She looked up at Xavier and his chiseled features. "What do you mean by that, Mr. Lane?" Xavier felt as if there was something lodged in his throat. Without saying anything else, he gripped Yvette's wris

    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

    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
