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
"What? So, what did you do about it?" Lawrence asked."I agreed to it, of course. But the problem now is that Yara wouldn't sign the papers." Zoey had already prepared the agreement to officially cut ties with Yara.When Lawrence heard that, his gaze turned cold. "Yara is an obstacle for both of us now. I guess she'll never learn her lesson until the very end. I'll help you get the papers signed and also get a divorce with her at the same time.""Sure."…No matter how ferocious a tiger was, it would never eat its children. However, the same couldn't be said about an evil child.When Yvette was working one morning, she received another call from Georgia. "Ms. Snyder, please come here now. Something else has happened!"When Yvette arrived at the hospital, the door to Yara's ward was locked tight. Lawrence and Zoey were both in the ward, forcing Yara to sign the documents.Georgia stood outside and said to Yvette, "Mr. Yandell arrived with Ms. Yandell early in the morning. They g
Zoey immediately smiled brightly. "If you had agreed to it earlier, you wouldn't have had to suffer so much just now."After saying that, she took out the papers and placed them in front of Yara.Yara picked up a pen with her trembling hand and signed her name on the papers. Then, she stamped her fingerprint next. After doing everything, she looked at Zoey, but her gaze was no longer loving like before. "I sure was blind to have pampered an ungrateful brat like you."When Zoey heard that, she didn't care at all. "Did I tell you to pamper you? I never cared about you in the first place. After all, Gemma was the one who raised me."That made Yara remember what she'd said to Terrence about Yevette back then. She'd said Yvette had been raised by Viola and that she didn't care about Yvette at all.She finally realized that was the karma she had received."Sign the divorce papers as well." Lawrence passed Yara a copy of the divorce papers that would leave her with nothing in the end.
It wouldn't make sense for anyone that evil to exist, and Yvette still didn't believe it. "You must be lying to me, right?"Yara could feel her throat closing up. "Yvette, I did get pregnant back then. However, Lawrence found me and wanted me to get back together with him. So, I got rid of the baby for him."She added, "But after I got rid of the baby, Lawrence didn't want to marry me anymore. Instead, he married Gemma. I didn't want James to get suspicious. So I decided to get a baby on the day I was supposed to give birth. You're that baby, Yvette."After Yara said that, she finally took a breath of relief. "I've let James down… I guess I'm only sick now because I got rid of the baby back then. It's all karma," she added with a nonplussed expression.At that moment, Yvette's mind was a jumbled mess. Suddenly, she had gone from being the Snyder family's daughter to an orphan. It had all happened so fast that she couldn't accept it at all."It finally makes sense why you've never
Ray sat in the car and gently said to Yvette, "We need to wait a few days before the results are out.""Alright.""Are we going home now?" he asked.Yvette thought about it and shook her head. "Take me to Westside Cemetery.""Alright." Then, he started driving.James was buried in that cemetery. When they arrived, Yvette told Ray to head back first. She wanted to be alone for a moment."Sure." Although Ray didn't understand what was wrong with her, he would do everything she told him to do.Yvette walked to James' tomb and looked at his kind smile on the photo of him there. She was in so much pain that it was as though someone had stabbed her."Dad… Can I still call you that?" The cold wind blew on her face, and she felt even more devastated. "I feel terrible now, Dad. What should I do?"Unfortunately, he couldn't tell her what to do anymore. Sadness filled her eyes as she sat in front of the tomb. Her mind was in turmoil. The cold wind blew nonstop. After some time, Yvette
After Yvette finally took the medicine, Jeremiah helped her lay back in bed. She was still in a daze from the fever, and her head and throat were still hurting.Jeremiah didn't leave. Instead, he placed a cold cloth on her head. Her head instantly felt better, and she grabbed his hand. "Xavier, I feel terrible."He gulped slightly and said, "It'll be alright after a while.""You're lying…"Yvette was feeling weak, and she let go of Jeremiah's hand after only a short while. Jeremiah held her hand tightly instead.After an hour, her fever was finally gone, and she was able to sleep. When he got up to leave, he heard her phone ringing. He took a look at it and saw Ray's name on the phone.He had looked into Ray before and knew he wasn't just any bodyguard. Ray was a capable man Claude had arranged for Yvette. After Jeremiah had returned to Tirion, he'd finally learned that Yvette had been referring to Claude when she'd talked about "Chubbs".In truth, Claude was the illegitimate so
