Yvette and Lillian were eating in the room next to Mark and Jeana's room. The manager wanted to please Yvette, so he purposely let them have a room with a one-way window. Mark and Jeana couldn't see them, but they could clearly see him with Jeana."Wow, Mark! This room is gorgeous!" Jeana and Mark's room was beautifully decorated. When she entered the room and saw the roses on the ground, she grabbed Mark's arm. Yvette and Lillian couldn't tell if she was doing it on purpose.When Lillian saw what was happening, she almost jumped up in anger. "Damn it!"Fortunately, Mark pulled his hand back. "Ms. Churchill, let's take a seat and start eating. Didn't you say you had a lot of questions for me?"Then, Jeana finally took a seat next to him."Why would she sit next to him when there's a seat in front?" Lillian mumbled.Mark had no idea that Lillian and Yvette were watching him, and he didn't tell Jeana to sit somewhere else. It might've been that he was too shy to say anything to h
"I think we should let Mark discover Jeana's true colors himself. It's better that way," said Yvette."How can he possibly see that when he's so dumb? She's a top-tier bitch!" Lillian was anxious and frustrated at that moment.It was her first time being in such a situation. Previously, she'd believed that Mark was her true love. However, she finally realized that all relationships had their own complications."A man can definitely recognize a bitch when he sees one as long as he's not that ignorant." Yvette thought some men just liked being flattered by bitches. "Let's wait for them to finish their meal and see what Jeana's going to do next.""Alright." Lillian finally calmed down and chose to believe Yvette. She also knew that she wouldn't be able to win against Jeana if she stormed into the room next door at that moment.She'd also heard what Mark had called Jeana earlier. From her title, she understood that Jeana's family was more powerful than hers.Lillian had made up her m
When Lillian heard that, she laughed so hard that there were tears in her eyes. "I kept thinking that you were an arrogant woman. I never thought you would be so amusing!"Then, she wiped her tears away. "Let's continue enjoying our food. Otherwise, it'll get cold soon.""Sure."Yvette wouldn't let Mark go if he really hurt the innocent Lillian either.Fortunately, he was ready to leave after he was done eating with Jeana. So, Yvette and Lillian tailed them from behind.Jeana held Mark's hand and said, "Mark, I don't feel like going back. Would you stay with me?"He looked at the time and saw that it was almost 11:00 pm. "Sorry, but I've promised my fiancée that I'd get home by 11:00 pm.""In that case, can't you call her and tell her that you need to stay with me?"It was ridiculous of her to say something like that. However, Mark still thought she was just being unreasonable, so he just pulled her hand away. "Be good. I'll let the driver send you back to Dewberry Manor now.
Jeana was stunned after she was hit. When she thought about catching Lillian, the latter had already disappeared from her sight.Lillian hid in Yvette's car, which was parked nearby. When she saw Jeana looking around for her, she finally felt better."You were amazing," said Yvette."Thanks."Lillian rolled up her sleeve and looked at her palm again. It had already turned red. Clearly, she'd put in a lot of force when she'd slapped Jeana.Then, she took out the recording from earlier again. "I've recorded everything. Let's see what he has to say for himself when I play it for him.""There's no rush for that."Yvette pointed somewhere close.Jeana was covering her face. When she couldn't find Lillian, she whipped out her phone to complain to Mark. However, she thought about it again. If Mark really loved Lillian and stood on her side, then Jeana would lose everything.Besides, she wanted Xavier and not Mark.With that thought in mind, Jeana had no choice but to endure it. She
No one could tell Mark what was going on. He wanted to send someone to look into it, but he was worried Lillian might get mad if she found out.Xavier was done with his medical check-up that day, and there was nothing wrong with his body. However, he still hadn't regained his memories. Tristan was there with him as well. He couldn't help but sigh. "This sure is frustrating."Xavier didn't care as much."Xav, are you still not planning to head back? After all, Yvette's pregnant now." Nowadays, Tristan would do everything for Yvette's sake. In fact, if he could, he would've kidnapped Xavier and taken him back to Dewberry Manor."The money I've given her is enough to take care of all her needs during her pregnancy," Xavier said coldly. After that, he asked Mark, "Did Jeana say anything from her end today?"Mark only returned to his senses after a while. "No… I'll give her a call and ask about it now."He took out his phone and made the call outside. When he returned, he said, "The
When Jeremiah heard Rick saying that Yvette would ruin the company's reputation, his gaze turned cold. "Is that so?" he asked gently.Rick could clearly feel something was wrong, and he said with a smile, "I was just teasing you. Actually, a woman like her is more interesting!"He had always thought that Jeremiah was a humble man who wasn't as cruel as Xavier. That was why he'd spoken without holding back earlier.Jeremiah ignored him and said to Yvette, "You should get some rest, Yvvy."She was confused. "Don't you need me here anymore?""Nah. Go ahead and rest.""Sure." She didn't want to stay there and listen to Rick's disgusting words either. So, she left the scene and went to the lounge. What she didn't know was that shortly after she left, there was a cry for mercy outside the golf course.The people around the scene were blocked off by the bodyguards, and they couldn't see what was going on at all.Meanwhile, Rick was begging for mercy as he kneeled on the ground. "I'm
Yvette got in a cab and told the driver to drive to the hospital as quickly as possible.Meanwhile, Jeremiah didn't return to the company. Instead, he told his driver to follow Yvette in secret. He wanted to see where she was going.Back at the hospital, Zoey was holding onto an agreement as she stared at Yara in the hospital, "What do I have to do to make you agree to sever our ties?"Yara felt excruciating pain in her stomach. However, the physical pain she felt was nothing in comparison to the pain Zoey was causing her at that moment. "Zoey, I'm your biological mother. How could you think about cutting ties with me?"Seeing how Yara wasn't agreeing to it, Zoey grew more frustrated. "I'm begging you, alright? Just forget that I ever existed!"Yara felt devastated, and she still couldn't believe the daughter she'd loved the most would do such a thing to her."If you agree to it, I'll take care of your medical bills and living expenses. If you don't, then don't blame me for bei
Zoey was stunned for a moment. Then, she lied, "Well, my stepmom has cancer, right? I'm here to visit her.""Is that so? Since I'm here, why don't I visit her as well?" Jeremiah wanted to see how she would keep up the act.Zoey immediately rejected the idea. "There's no need for that. She's already asleep now, so let's not disturb her.""Sure." He knew it wasn't time for him to get into a conflict with her yet.The car started moving and slowly drove away from the hospital.…Meanwhile, Yara kept thinking about what Zoey had just said. "I only have one mom, and that's Gemma!"Her mind was a mess. She had never expected her obedient and capable daughter to acknowledge someone else as her mother.When Yvette entered the ward, she saw that Yara didn't look as energetic as she used to in the past. Instead, the latter looked dead.Yvette asked Georgia, "Can you give us the room for a moment?""Sure." Georgia trusted Yvette and left the ward.After she left, the ward became quiete
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
