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
Gossip? Every woman in Tirion would've loved to be the object of gossip with Xavier.Xavier thought about how she had been with Claude during the four to five years of her disappearance. Feelings grew over time, and they were childhood friends. "You're worried about Claude hearing rumors, aren't you?" His eyes were icy. Yvette's expression darkened at once. She did not want to indulge his bad habits. "Mr. Lane, whether or not we're married, I have the freedom to choose where to live. Don't you think you're interfering too much?" She no longer wanted to stay there, and she brushed quickly past him. Xavier felt as if she had slapped him. It had only been a few words, but he felt very uncomfortable. What did she mean by saying that he was interfering too much? He watched her figure retreat into the distance and suddenly felt as if she was getting further and further away from him. He did not like this feeling.He took out his phone and called Mark. "No matter what you have to
School had just ended for Zachary, and the driver was later than usual. Malcolm was chattering beside him. "Do you always get picked up by your driver?" "What's the alternative?" Zachary was exasperated. Malcolm looked proud. "The elders in my family are the ones who pick me up every day.""Great-grandpa says that he wants me to feel the love of the entire family." He lowered his voice mysteriously. "Do you know who's picking me up today?""Who?" Zachary wasn't interested, but he asked anyway. If he didn't, he knew that he'd never hear the end of it. "Grandma Shannon," Malcolm said triumphantly. Zachary did not know what he was so happy about. Shannon wasn't even his real grandmother. As he was pondering the matter, Shannon's car pulled up. It was a high-profile presidential limousine, and Shannon was dressed to the nines in high heels and a bodycon dress. Although she was over 50, she still maintained her looks, and her every action exuded charm. "Grandma Shannon!" M
Kiki had only wanted to scare Zachary, but she gave up when she saw his blank expression. "Alright, I understand. I'm already trying to play with the kids." Zachary took out his tablet and started studying again.He hadn't been able to read because he had to play with building bricks at the kindergarten.Kiki glanced at it. The tablet was covered in symbols that she couldn't understand at all. There were all kinds of people in this world.Zachary was working so hard, and Kiki felt that she could not let him down.After she got home, she began poring over her law books once more so that she would be ready to fight against Daphne in court.Suddenly, someone knocked on the door to her study. Zachary was standing outside.Kiki was surprised. "What is it?""Ms. Torres, I have something useful for you."Kiki was even more confused. She watched Zachary walk over to her and borrow her laptop. His tiny fingers flew across the keyboard. After a minute, he stopped. A website popped up
Xavier suddenly felt like he was suffocating. He put down the documents he was holding and instructed Mark. "Employ an executive CEO!"Mark was startled. "Mr. Lane, what's going on with you?""I want to rest for a while," Xavier replied. "Don't report to me unless it's important."It was normal to employ CEOs in large corporations, but Mark was shocked.Xavier had done everything himself ever since getting the job. He hadn't even allowed him a moment's rest for the sake of his career. But now, he was going to let go.It took Mark a long time to recover. "Yes. I will put out an ad at once."After Mark was gone, Xavier read the documents again and again. All he could think about was Yvette. He just couldn't accept it. He had been working hard day and night to earn money for all these years, but for what?It had been to make up for the losses that he had suffered because the Snyders had deceived him, and it had been for the sake of his pride! Billions meant nothing to Xavier!Howe
Xavier hated these fake promotional activities that were just to sell an image. He was about to refuse on principle, but the words that slipped out of his mouth were, "Okay.""I'll go and get ready." Yvette turned and walked out.Before she got to the door, Xavier's deep, slightly raspy voice came from behind her. "If we're visiting the children, I think you should put on more clothes."Yvette was startled. She looked down and realized that two of her buttons had come undone.The weather was too hot, and after she'd unfastened them in her office, she'd forgotten to button it up again. When she came out of the restroom, she was bright red with embarrassment.As she was walking along with her head lowered, she bumped into someone."I'm sorry." Yvette looked up into Tristan's handsome, aristocratic face. She shuddered involuntarily and took a step back, trying to put some distance between them. She could not avoid meeting Tristan while working at Titan Corporation.Most of the ti
Xavier looked at him intensely. "It's okay. I've already promised that I would go."There was a flash of disappointment in Tristan's eyes, and he couldn't help asking, "Don't you hate going to events like this?"Xavier sensed his unusual behavior, and he said lightly, "There's always an exception!"Tristan did not stay long before leaving. When he went out into the corridor, he saw Yvette talking and laughing with the other staff. He had never seen her smile like that.His assistant came over. "Mr. Shaw, Mr. Shaw Senior wants you to return at once.""Alright."…At the special needs school that afternoon, Yvette walked into the newly opened music room. She sat in front of the piano and taught the children how to play.Xavier stood outside the door surrounded by a bunch of bodyguards.It was the first time he had seen Yvette play the piano, and she played very well indeed. The melodious sound of the piano seemed to soothe his soul.Xavier focused on the light smile on Yvette's
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
