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 Yara heard that, she immediately stopped Georgia. "Don't you dare! If you tell Yvette about it, I'll… I'll end myself right in front of you!"She didn't know how else she could threaten Georgia. This was the only thing she could think of.Georgia was frustrated. "Even so, you can't keep lying to her, right? She's the reason you have all of this now. If you have the slightest hint of humanity left in you, you should tell her the truth."Yara knew Georgia made sense, but she didn't dare to do it at all. "Let's wait until I'm about to die."She looked outside the window and stopped talking.…Yvette's mind was all over the place. When she finally returned to Dewberry Manor, Jeana was back as well. The latter looked completely different from how she'd looked the night before—she was back to her obedient persona. There were still subtle fingerprints on her face, indicating how hard Lillian had hit her the previous night."Oh, you're back, Yvette. I was at my friend's place las
Soon, it was nighttime. Jeana was sleeping peacefully when she suddenly heard a loud ringing in her room. She instantly woke up in shock. When she turned on the lights, the noise was gone."That's weird… Was I dreaming?"After she turned the lights off, she went back to sleep. However, after an hour, the noise came back. This time, she was certain that it wasn't a dream."Where is it coming from? Could it be my phone?"She picked up her phone and turned it off. Then, she continued sleeping again. After a short while, she suddenly heard a weird noise by her side. It sounded like someone was crying. Jeana was half awake, and she felt chills up her spine.After she woke up in fear, she couldn't sleep anymore. Instead, she curled up under her blanket."This place isn't haunted, right?"She couldn't sleep at all.…When Yvette was about to leave for work after breakfast the next day, Jeana was still in bed. She decided to give the latter a taste of her own medicine and took a pictu
It was a dreary day with constant rain.Yvette Snyder stood at the entrance of the hospital, her body frail, clutching a pregnancy report in her thin hands. Three words on the report stood out: "No pregnancy detected"."You've been married for three years. How are you not pregnant?" Her mother, Yara Cadwell, demanded, jabbing a finger in Yvette's face disappointedly. Yara was dressed lavishly and wore high heels. "Why are you so useless? If you don't get pregnant soon, the Lanes are going to kick you out of the family. What's going to happen to our family then?"Yvette looked at Yara blankly. She had a lot to say, but the words were stuck in her throat. In the end, all she could manage was, "I'm sorry.""I don't want you to be sorry. I want you to give birth to Xavier's child. Do you understand me?"Yvette's throat felt tight; she didn't know how to answer Yara.In their three years of marriage, her husband, Xavier Lane, had never slept with her.How could she ever have his ch
