Yvette wanted to enter the competition with a normal status to make it fair.Cynthia finally understood what was going on and said, "Boss, you're too kind. Some people would do anything just to get the first place right away."Soon, the registration was completed. Yvette had no idea, but Zoey had been paying attention to this competition. She wanted to find a personal composer to work with. Gemma had even invested in the competition for her sake.When Zoey got a list of the contestants, she glanced through it and locked her sights on Yvette's name."Yvette Snyder?" She immediately called Mila and said, "Ask the organizers for this Yvette's information."She wondered if someone shared the same name as Yvette. She knew Yvette had hearing difficulties, but she didn't know that the latter could compose songs as well.After a short while, Mila returned. "Ms. Yandell, the organizers said this Yvette was recommended by a veteran composer. Other than her name, they don't have anything el
Just as Zoey was about to rush in there, Jackie stopped her."Have you thought this through, Ms. Yandell? Are you really going to charge in there? If Mr. Jeremiah gets angry, you'll have to calm him down yourself."When Zoey heard that, she had no choice but to back out for now. Then, she chose to wait in Jeremiah's office for his meeting to end. Jackie ignored her and returned to the office to secretly tell Jeremiah about her arrival.He frowned and said, "Got it. Head back to work now and don't worry about her.""Yes, sir."Yvette was sitting close to him and roughly heard what Jackie said. She noticed Jackie's gaze earlier and figured Zoey's presence here wasn't good news. Then, it hit her that she might be the reason why Zoey was there.Jeremiah noticed that Yvette was a little distracted. He nudged her a little and asked softly, "What's wrong?"She immediately returned to her senses and shook her head. "Nothing. My mind went somewhere else for a moment there. I'm sorry."
Zoey's eyes teared up after Jeremiah yelled at her in front of Yvette. She was afraid of him, so she endured it and unwillingly returned to the office. After she was gone, Jeremiah looked at Yvette. "If something like this happens again and someone bullies you, be sure to fight back like this."When he was done speaking, he returned to his office while Yvette watched on in confusion.Upon seeing him returning, Zoey looked at him with an aggrieved and teary look in her eyes. "Jerry, why did you yell at me in front of her? Do you still like her?"He didn't answer her question and asked her instead, "Do you know where we were just now?"She looked at him in confusion."There were a lot of members of the upper management there. As my fiancée, how could you fight Yvette? What would the others think about it?"Zoey couldn't answer him at all.Then, he added, "Mom was the one who arranged for Yvette to work here. She's hoping that Yvette can help Xav with work. After all, you know he
Xavier was leaning his back against the car seat with his eyes closed. When Yvette saw him, she was confused. "What are you doing, Xavier?"When he heard her angry tone, he opened his eyes. "Tell Jeremiah that you're resigning, and do it in front of me."She'd never thought he would get someone to abduct her just to tell her to resign."I'm not doing it." Everything was going well for her, and she had no reason to quit her job. She also finally had a way to anger Zoey. If she left the company now, she would be admitting that she was afraid of Zoey.Xavier frowned slightly and coldly said, "Are you still holding on to hope to be with Jeremiah when you're carrying my children now?"Yvette felt frustrated. If she hadn't known that he had lost his memories, she would've punched him at that moment. When he noticed that she wasn't saying anything, he thought she really wanted it to happen. So, he became extremely gloomy."Don't forget that you're pregnant and already have two more ch
"Maplewood Lane," said the driver.From what Xavier could remember, there weren't many cars or people there. So, he said, "Follow her.""Yes, sir."A few years ago, Titan Corporation had bought over the whole area. Now, Maplewood Lane was a commercial street and drastically different from its past.After Yvette got out of the vehicle, she decided to shop a little. After all, she had nothing to do at that moment. Since the season was about to end, she figured she could get Noah and Zachary some new clothes.She walked along the side of the road and noticed many people were looking toward her. At first, she thought it was because of the scar on her face.As time passed, she finally realized that there was an MPV following her closely from behind. It was a long vehicle, so it drew a lot of attention, but what made the crowd turn more was the person inside it.Yvette thought Xavier had left in anger. She'd never expected to find him following her the whole time. She stopped in her t
Lillian was startled by the car near her. When she turned around, she saw Mark getting out of the vehicle."Why are you here?"He took off his glasses, looking confused. "Lily, are you staying here?"When she heard that, she nodded. "Yeah. Why?""How did you manage to rent this manor?""What does it have to do with you?" She didn't want to tell him that she had already met Yvette.Just as she was about to head inside, Mark grabbed her arm. "Lily, this was the Snyder family's residence. I'm sure they wouldn't have agreed to rent it out. Did someone trick you?"He figured a criminal might've gotten the passcode through illegal means and tricked innocent people like Lillian into renting the place.When she heard that, she decided to stop hiding it. "Don't worry. I wasn't tricked. Yvvy rented this place to me."When Mark heard her referring to Yvette as "Yvvy", he was even more shocked. "Are you talking about Yvette Snyder?""Yeah." She nodded.Mark still hadn't connected the do
In order to avoid being seen by Mark and Jeana, Yvette went to the security room. The guard was confused when he saw her. "Ms. Snyder, what are you doing?""Don't worry about it.""Alright."She told him to show the surveillance footage of the front entrance and stared at the screen. Mark was standing at the entrance as he waited for Yvette. Unexpectedly, Jeana was the one who came out to greet him."Mark!" She ran toward him with a loving look in her eyes.Mark instinctively took a step back. He didn't dare to be friendly to her anymore. "Ms. Churchill, you should call me Mr. Xyrax from now on."Jeana was stunned, and she stopped in her tracks. "What's wrong with you? Are you angry at me because of her?"Her eyes were getting teary as she approached him slowly. "I'm sorry. Please don't be angry at me, alright? I can apologize to her.""For what?" he asked.She mumbled, "For making her misunderstand our relationship."Mark took out his phone and played the recording. Then,
After hearing Yvette admit to it and give her reasons, Mark couldn't help but get angry. "There's nothing going on between me and Jeana at all. Do you know Lily wants to break up with me now because of this?""Even so, do you think there's a point in explaining it to me?" She continued, "Let me ask you something—if I hadn't told Lillian about your dinner with Jeana, would you have done anything else with her that was out of the line? Are you sure your will is that strong and that you could've remained unfazed?"Mark was stunned. As a man, he knew it wouldn't be that easy to ignore it."Jeana has the looks, the wealth, and a beautiful figure. Most men wouldn't be able to compare to her at all." Yvette added, "It's true that I was being selfish. I was worried that you might get tricked by her and help her deal with me in the future."When Mark heard that, he became silent for a few moments. Then, he finally said, "I really shouldn't have met her in private that late at night. I'l
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
