Recently, Gemma had returned to Tirion for a business meeting. So Zoey met her for a meal. She even personally served her food and poured a glass of wine for her. "Have some more, Mom.""Sure." Gemma felt happy. However, the peaceful moment was interrupted by the sound of a phone ringing.Zoey took a look at her phone and saw that it was Yara. So, she declined the call and put the phone back into her bag.However, she didn't realize that she had accidentally answered the call instead. Since she'd put the phone back in her bag, she didn't hear Yara speaking either."Who was it?" asked Gemma. "Why didn't you answer it?""Oh, it's a harassment call," answered Zoey.When Yara hadn't gotten a response from Zoey, she'd planned on hanging up and calling again. However, she unexpectedly ended up hearing Gemma and Zoey's conversation.Upon hearing Zoey say that it was a harassment call, Yara knew the former had answered the call by mistake.Yara wanted to listen to how Zoey and Gemma
"Zoey, do you hate me that much? Do you want me to die that badly?" Yara was hiding under her blanket as she spoke. She was worried that the person in the bed next to her would hear her.Her voice sounded hoarse. She couldn't believe Zoey had told Gemma how much she hated Yara. After all, Yara was so proud of her and loved her so much. She would do anything for Zoey, but it turned out that Zoey found her disgusting and wanted her dead!It was probably the only moment when Yara realized how mean she had been toward Yvette in the past."Mom, you've misunderstood me." Zoey hurriedly found an excuse. "Gemma was here earlier, and you know how much she hates you. I had no choice but to lie to her to please her. "Please don't take my words to heart. After all, you're my actual mom, so there's no way she would be more important than you, right?"When Yara heard what Zoey said, she didn't believe it at all. She asked with a cold gaze, "Am I really more important than Gemma?""Of course
"What's the point of making Yvette's inheritance invalid? Now that Dad has gotten rid of Yandell Group, she's getting a small part of the money." Zoey lost interest immediately.Yara wanted to say something else. But when she saw how Zoey was acting, she instantly stopped explaining her idea. "I'm getting clumsy with age. There's no way that little money can compare to what the Zelniks have.""Mom, stop calling me in the future if there's nothing important." After saying that, Zoey got up. She was afraid of being in debt, and she was also worried about Yara looking for Gemma.So, she took out a check and passed it to Georgia. "Here. This is for this month's medical fees. Your salary is included as well."Georgia immediately accepted it. After Zoey left, she took a look at the check. That was when she realized that it was only worth 30 thousand dollars.She couldn't help feeling speechless. "This is only 30 thousand dollars. It's nowhere near enough to cover your medical expenses
Yvette followed the location Georgia had shared with her and drove over. As she was worried that something unexpected might happen, she asked Ray to tag along as well.After a short while, she arrived at her destination and saw Yara from afar. Yara was in her hospital gown, and her hair was a mess. She didn't look like a wealthy woman anymore. Instead, she was incredibly skinny.Yvette looked around and realized they were at one of Zelnik Corporation's branch companies. She wondered why Yara was there.Yvette didn't tell Georgia that she had arrived. Instead, she temporarily turned off her phone's data and prevented the latter from seeing her location. After that, she got out of her car and went to a secluded corner.When Yara entered the branch company, the guard stopped her. She yelled, "Tell Gemma to see me now!"The guard didn't expect her to be bold enough to address Gemma by her name. He frowned and said, "Who do you think you are? You're not worthy of seeing Ms. Zelnik, so
"Gemma, I'm here to tell you that the daughter you've been raising all this time is actually—""Stop your nonsense, Madam Yara!" Zoey interrupted Yara immediately. When Yara heard that, she was stunned.However, Gemma was interested in what Yara had been about to say, so she stopped Zoey. "Let her finish, Zoey. Don't worry. Even if she says something bad about you, I'll still believe you."Zoey had no choice but to bite the bullet. "Sure."Yara found it sickening to watch her own daughter treat another woman like her mother. So, she couldn't hold it back anymore and said, "Zoey's my biological daughter, Gemma."Gemma's pupils constricted, and she looked at Yara in disbelief. She'd thought the latter would say something to ruin Zoey's reputation. She'd never thought it would be that!"Are you kidding me? Lawrence and I personally brought Zoey back from the orphanage. How could she possibly be your daughter?" Gemma kept looking down at Yara and never took the latter seriously. Ho
Upon hearing Gemma's question, Zoey didn't know what to say at all. Meanwhile, Yara was looking at her as well, hoping that she would be honest.However, Zoey teared up and said to Yara, "Madam Yara, why are you spouting nonsense? My mom is the only mother I have. She's the one who raised me. I don't care who gave birth to me. I'll only acknowledge her as my mother."Gemma felt incredibly touched when she heard that. However, Yara's heart fell. It was true she hadn't raised Zoey, but she had secretly met her every year. On top of that, she had even granted all of Zoey's wishes.When Yara had married Lawrence a few years ago, she'd even given them everything James had left for her. She'd done it to make things up to Zoey since she hadn't been able to stay by the latter's side for so many years."Zoey, I'm your mother, and you can't deny that."At that moment, everything she said was like a slap in the face. She had forgotten what she had said to Yvette in the past.Zoey's expressi
When Gemma saw Yvette, she thought about what the latter had said to her while pointing a knife at her. She had to admit that she would've admired Yvette if it hadn't been for Zoey."Ms. Snyder, are you here to watch the show as well?" As Gemma spoke, she looked at the crowd around them.The people watching the commotion were all passersby outside the company. They weren't employees of Zelnik Corporation."That's not it." Yvette took out her phone and searched for something while saying, "I heard what you guys were talking about earlier. Zoey refused to admit to being Madam Yara's daughter and asked for proof, right?"Zoey had a bad feeling. "Yvette, this is our personal matter."Yvette ignored Zoey and found the DNA test result on her phone. Then, she passed it to Gemma.Although Gemma didn't know what was going on, she still accepted the phone. Then, she saw the test results clearly. Yara really was Zoey's biological mother!Zoey took a look as well and was in disbelief. "Mom,
Yvette stood nearby and heard what Yara said. She didn't pity the latter at all and was about to leave. Suddenly, Georgia called out to her. "Ms. Snyder, we owe you one. Thank you."Georgia had a feeling she would've gotten dragged into the mess if it hadn't been for Yvette. After saying her thanks, she tugged at Yara. She hoped the cold woman could say something nice to Yvette. However, it didn't happen.Yara looked up at Yvette and said, "You came all the way here to see me make a fool out of myself, didn't you? Are you happy now?"Yvette's gaze remained calm, and there was no shift in her expression at all. "Yes, but I'm not satisfied yet."Yara struggled to get up and hit Yvette. However, she only took two steps before she fell toward the ground. Fortunately, Georgia was next to her and managed to hold her in time.After Georgia managed to take Yara back to the hospital, the doctor finally pulled her back to the land of the living. He said, "The cancer is spreading fast, so
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
