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
"What's this, Mom?" Zoey was confused."Zoey, didn't I tell you not to lie to me?" Gemma asked while calmly looking at her.She had to admit that she'd still believed in Zoey before she'd received the documents. At that moment, she wondered if she had failed to educate Zoey well.When Zoey noticed how serious Gemma looked, she went through the documents. After that, her legs became so weak that she almost fell to the ground."Mom, these are—"Before she could say the documents were fake, Gemma interrupted her. "Be honest with me and stop with the lies. You should know my capabilities better than anyone else. I can easily get to the bottom of this in just a short while."Zoey finally swallowed all the lies on the tip of her tongue and kneeled to the ground with a loud thud. "I'm sorry, Mom. I was wrong."Seeing how she admitted to it so quickly, Gemma couldn't help feeling disappointed. "Did you know that Yara was your biological mother all along?"Zoey immediately shook her hea
Yvette didn't have the time or energy to deal with Jeana yet. So, once she got downstairs, she had breakfast with Noah.Once they finished their meal, she watched as Noah left for school. Then, she was ready to head for work.However, Jeana stopped her. "Yvette, has Xavier agreed to it?""What do you mean?" Yvette was confused."Has he agreed to work at Lane Group? Didn't Aunt Shannon tell you to go to Lane Group with Xavier a few days later?" Jeana paused for a moment and said in embarrassment, "You even promised that I could be his assistant."Yvette finally remembered about it and realized what was going on. "You should ask your Aunt Shannon about it. I'm not in contact with him, and I don't know if he has agreed to it."When Jeana heard that, she couldn't help secretly scolding Yvette for not being excited about working at Lane Group. She thought Yvette was useless and deserved to be a housewife forever."If there's nothing else, I'm going to work on my music now.""Sure."
Jackie looked professional and neat in her attire. "Right this way, Mrs. Lane and Ms. Churchill.""Sure."As Jackie led the way, Yvette and Jeana followed her behind.Upon entering the building, Jeana kept looking around. She also kept flattering Jackie the way she did with everyone else. "So you're Jeremiah's secretary, huh? You're really pretty!"When Jackie heard that, there was no shift in her expression. Instead, she still looked as professional as she had before. "Thank you for the compliment."Jeana was great at socializing, and she didn't feel awkward at all when Jackie was cold toward her.Then, she started walking right next to Jackie. "So, what do you usually do? Are you in charge of arranging Jeremiah's schedule? Can I ask you anything if I have questions in the future?"Jackie was walking fast at first. When she heard the questions, she stopped in her tracks and coldly looked at Jeana."Ms. Churchill, what I do has nothing to do with you. You'll be working for Mr
Jeremiah looked up at Yvette as she entered the CEO's office. His gaze was gentle. "I thought you weren't coming.""I just have to work for three hours a day, and I can learn a lot while I'm at it. I would be letting myself down if I didn't come," she said honestly."Have a seat," he said while standing up.Yvette walked toward the couch at the side and sat down.Jeremiah personally poured a glass of water for her. "If you have any questions in the future, you can see me as usual."She shyly accepted the drink he offered her."Thank you." After taking a sip, she continued, "Can you tell me the details of my job now?""Of course."The two of them continued talking in the office. Jeana, on the other hand, felt a little bored as she waited outside. After all, Jackie had left the office as well.Jeana had nothing else to do, so she started wandering around and sent Mark a message. "Mark, I'm working at Titan Corporation with Yvette now. It sure is great here! It's a shame that y
When Mark heard Xavier's cold words, he knew the latter wouldn't actually dare to do that. Xavier only wanted Jeana to take good care of Yvette and let him know if anything happened."Sure," Jeana replied simply.…Back in Jeremiah's office, Yvette had gotten a good understanding of her tasks. Basically, she would just have to follow Jeremiah around and attend important meetings. She would also have to take note of anything important.When she came out of his office, she saw that Jeana was texting happily on her phone. After a quick glance, she noticed Mark's name on Jeana's phone. Then, Yvette remembered that Jeana was going to a couple's restaurant with Mark that day.As expected, after the two women arrived at the office to the side, Jeana said to Yvette, "Yvette, I'm staying out tonight. My best friend and I are going to have fun the whole night."Upon hearing that Jeana and Mark were staying out the whole night, Yvette's imagination started running wild. "Sure. Just take car
In the end, Jeana wore her own clothes and went out.Shortly after she left the house, another woman arrived at Dewberry Manor. When Yvette came out of the manor, she immediately noticed how cute the woman looked. The latter's eyes were beautiful, and she was clearly more gorgeous than Jeana."Hello, Ms. Chadwick," Yvette greeted first.Mark's fiancée, Lillian Chadwick, had also noticed Yvette, and she extended her hand to her. "So, you must be Mrs. Lane."Lillian's curiosity had been piqued after hearing so much about the Lanes from Mark. She'd never thought she would get to see Yvette in person one day."That's me. I'm Yvette, but you can call me Yvvy.""I'm Lillian. You can call me Lily."Lillian didn't try to act humble in front of Yvette. After all, they were all humans, and no one was better than the other.Yvette had wanted to take Lillian to Amber Grove Restaurant to take a look at the situation first. However, after seeing the latter in person, she figured she shouldn'
When Clifford heard this, he couldn't help but feel puzzled. "Who does Xavier have an eye on?" he asked."Isn't it obvious? It's Jeana. You didn't know this, but when Xav and Yvette got divorced, he even took Jeana with him," Marlene said.Clifford never expected that Xavier and Jeana would be interested in each other.After all, the Churchill family today wasn't what they used to be and had fallen into decline.Jeana's parents had passed away long ago, and she didn't have a supportive family background, which actually made her somewhat unsuitable to be Xavier's match."Grandpa, you watched Jeana grow up. She's beautiful, kind, considerate, and respectful. With her taking care of Xav now that he can't see, we can be more at ease."Marlene had her own plans—Jeana, without power or influence, was easy to handle. Once Jeana married Xavier, Marlene and Zayden wouldn't have to worry about Xavier anymore and could focus on dealing with Jeremiah and his wife.Clifford felt a bit intrig
Clifford was sitting at the head of the table.Shannon and Jeremiah were sitting together. Shannon, who was usually a strong iron lady, couldn't hold back her tears.When she saw Mark being carried in, she was puzzled at first, then couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Xyrax, what happened to you?"Mark lay on the stretcher, looking up at Shannon, who stood beside Jeremiah. Since he didn't know why they had called him over, he didn't immediately explain anything first."Madam, Mr. Lane Senior, is there something you called me over for?" Mark asked."Why did Xav have brain surgery? Why did he turn into a crazy person?" Clifford asked aloud.Mark was stunned. "Crazy person?"Jeremiah approached him, saying, "Well done, Mr. Xyrax, this is your doing."He showed the video on his phone to Mark.Mark was shocked. "How could this happen? How could it turn out like this?"Did the surgery not succeed after all?Jeremiah's expression was icy as he said, "If it weren't for me, Xav would have en
Yvette was somewhat worried about Xavier's current situation.Jeremiah stopped in his tracks and said, "No way."He explained, "First of all, his condition is very unstable right now, and he might harm you and the two children. Secondly, there are better medical facilities here. Lastly, since you both have already gone through a divorce, his family would not agree to him going to where you are."Yvette realized that her previous question might have come across as a bit strange after hearing what he said.Xavier had the support of the powerful Lane family, and staying there for treatment was definitely better than going back with her."Okay, I'll have to bother you then.""It's not a bother at all. He's my older brother. I'm more worried about him than anyone else," Jeremiah replied.Originally, Jeremiah was going to take Yvette home, but Yvette asked him to just drop her off near the company instead.Her driver would be coming to pick her up.Jeremiah could tell that she was d
When Yvette heard what Jeremiah said, she shook her head, saying, "I always thought he didn't love me, but it was only after he repeatedly put himself in danger to save me that I realized he had feelings for me."I originally planned to stay with him just because of the kids, but somehow, over time, I started to like him a little."As Jeremiah listened, his gentle eyes held indecipherable emotions in them.What Yvette was talking about could be summed up in a few words—she developed feelings over time.He suddenly started coughing heavily."Are you okay? Do you need to go to the hospital?" Yvette asked.Jeremiah waved his hand. Once his coughing had eased a bit, he picked up his flask and took a sip of warm water. "It's nothing, just an old issue," he said.As he spoke, the driver drove into the estate.This area was quite remote, with people stationed all around. If there was any sign of activity or disturbance, Jeremiah would know about it immediately."This is it. Let's go,
"Understood. I'll go over right now," Yvette replied.After Yvette followed Jackie upstairs, Marlene scoffed. "How shameless. Has she forgotten that Jeremiah is Xavier's brother?"Jeana also came over to snoop around."Marlene, why bother getting upset over someone like her? She's long lost all sense of shame."Marlene was in a great mood after hearing someone else criticize Yvette alongside her."Jeana, don't worry. In a few days, I'll speak well of you in front of Grandpa. Since Xavier is divorced, he needs a woman by his side to take charge."Jeana looked gratefully at her, "Thank you, Marlene."Right now, Jeana felt especially grateful, but she didn't realize that soon, she would deeply regret it.…Meanwhile, Yvette arrived at the CEO's office on the top floor. After knocking and receiving permission, Yvette entered the office.Jeremiah was sitting in front of his computer, deeply engrossed in his work. When he heard her enter, he looked up at her.Yvette dressed simply
After Xavier was taken away, Tristan and Mark frantically searched everywhere but couldn't find Jeremiah, that lunatic.The main problem was that they were both seriously injured and could only rely on their subordinates to find help."If something happens to Xav, I will never forgive myself." Tristan felt especially guilty, wondering why he hadn't been more cautious.He had been too arrogant.Mark, being a bit more rational than him, said, "Mr. Shaw, since we haven't heard any bad news about Mr. Lane, I assume everything is fine with him.""What do you mean?" Tristan asked."If I were Jeremiah and wanted to frame us for Mr. Lane's death, I definitely wouldn't drag it out," Mark replied.Both of them were currently in a lot of pain, and even simple conversations were very difficult for them.So, after talking for a bit, they took another break.Unfortunately, Mark's phone kept persistently ringing. He saw that Lillian was calling, but he didn't dare answer. He was worried that
Jeremiah gradually tightened his grip. Once Xavier died, he could claim that Tristan and Mark were responsible for secretly harming Xavier.No one knew what kind of surgery they had performed on Xavier, only that it ultimately led to his death."Xavier, don't blame me. If you want to blame anyone, blame yourself. You just had to fight with me over everything," Jeremiah said as he covered Xavier's mouth and nose. "When I met Yvvy, I thought I finally had something you didn't, but even she was taken away by you."It's bad enough you took her from me, but you won't even let me move on! Do you have any idea how much it hurts to see you two together every day, especially knowing she's pregnant with your children?"Jeremiah's eyes were slightly reddened."Now, it's all good. With you gone from this world, I'll take good care of Yvette for you."He seemed to have deliberately emphasized the word "Yvette". He didn't know if Xavier was aware of it, but it just felt incredibly satisfying!
Yvette saw that the call was disconnected and decided not to worry about Xavier anymore.…On the other end, Mark stood outside the ICU ward. Up until now, Xavier still hadn't woken up.Tristan came over and checked all the indicators. "There's nothing wrong, so why hasn't he woken up yet?""Mr. Shaw, do you think Mr. Lane might never wake up?" There was a look of concern in Mark's eyes as he asked that. He couldn't believe that the person he had always followed would leave in such a way."Don't overthink it," Tristan said, giving him a pat on the shoulder.Suddenly, there was a noise from the outside."Who are you? This is a private hospital. No one else is allowed to be here.""How can you resort to violence?"There was the sound of things clattering, followed by the cries of pain from those in a fight.Tristan frowned. "Who is it? Do they have a death wish?"Mark was also in disbelief. Shortly afterward, they finally saw clearly who was approaching them.Jeremiah was s
Over at Snyder Residence, Yvette was woken up early by Kiki, who also informed her that there were negative rumors about Zoey circulating online."Yvvy, see, I told you that the media wouldn't easily let Zoey off the hook."Yvette read through them again.However, these news stories disappeared not long after they were published.While eating breakfast, Kiki frowned and said, "The speed at which trending articles change is just too fast.""That's the benefit of having money," Yvette said.Even the children knew about the trending articles being removed.Zachary had originally wanted to hack in further to make Zoey's news trend more frequently. Unfortunately, it seems they had figured out about the hacking attempts, so they fortified their firewall and posted someone to monitor the situation.If he hacked in again, there was a chance he might expose himself.Zachary decided to back off and settled for teaching Zoey a small lesson.…Yara was to be laid to rest today.Yvette
