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
It was Jeremiah.Ray had a rough idea about Yvette and Jeremiah's special relationship. Now that he knew Jeremiah was the one who'd taken her away, he could finally relax.Meanwhile, Xavier had already begun a search for Yvette all over the city. Even without Ray's help, it didn't take him a long time to find out Jeremiah was involved.When he found out that Jeremiah had taken Yvette away, it was already 1:00 am. He tightened his fists so hard that they started making cracking noises. He got into his car in just a minute. His bodyguard had located Jeremiah's private villa, and they just had to take a quick drive there. However, Xavier stopped the driver halfway through the journey."Let's head back."The driver and bodyguard were confused.Xavier had already thought it through. He figured he would fulfill Yvette's wishes if she liked Jeremiah enough not to go home.…When Mark went to Azure Villa the next day to report for work, Xavier interrupted him. "Get me a lawyer first.
Yvette was confused, and when she looked around, everything seemed unfamiliar. She wondered where she was.She remembered she had been at the cemetery and that Xavier had shown up and taken her away. She looked at Jeremiah and noticed that his clothes were nothing like Xavier's. Then, the realization dawned on her that she wasn't at Azure Villa.She looked at herself and saw that she was still wearing the same clothes from yesterday. She carefully got up, but she still ended up waking up the man beside her. Jeremiah opened his eyes and asked, "Oh, you're awake? Do you still feel unwell?"Upon hearing his gentle voice and seeing how his eyes were fine, Yvette was certain he wasn't Xavier. "Why am I here?""You fainted at the cemetery yesterday. I noticed you had a fever, so I brought you back here," said Jeremiah.When she heard that, she finally noticed the wet cloth next to her. "Thank you.""I've told you that there's no need for thanks between us." Jeremiah got up after sayi
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
"We've found her, and we're currently figuring out how to obtain her biological sample," Elijah replied.Zoey was really anxious. She said, "Great. Once you've got it, come back as soon as you can.""Okay."Zoey hung up the phone and laid down to rest, but she just couldn't fall asleep.If Xandra really was Gemma's daughter, given Gemma's doting and overprotective nature, she would want to give half of everything she owned to Xandra.No, it wasn't just half. By then, Zoey might end up with nothing, and everything would go to Xandra.Zoey had a rough night and didn't sleep well, but fortunately, Elijah sent a message saying everything had been arranged. They were coming back today, so they could move forward with the examination earlier than planned.Just as things got settled over at Zoey's, online articles started trending elsewhere."Zoey Yandell is suspected to be the biological daughter of Yara Cadwell.""Zoey Yandell is unwilling to acknowledge her biological mother in or
"Fine, then. What a pity," Kiki said as she put down her phone.Yvette reassured her, saying, "There's nothing to feel bad about. What happened today was a warning to Zoey that I'm not someone to be messed with."Kiki nodded, saying, "Yes."They all understood that as long as Zoey was the Zelnik family's daughter, she would always have someone to protect her.Kiki said, "Gemma treats her adopted daughter so well. If she had her own kids, they'd definitely be happy too.""Yes, indeed."Yvette admired Zoey for having such a supportive mother who stood by her no matter what happened.Kiki asked, "Yvvy, have you ever thought about finding your biological mother?"She suddenly realized that many parents who abandoned their children might have done so because they had no other choice, or perhaps they did so for other reasons.Yvette shook her head. "I don't want to be disappointed again."Parents who could abandon their daughter at the orphanage probably didn't love her very much.
Kiki nodded and said, "Yes, it's them. They're incredibly arrogant. Just thinking about it still makes me really angry."Yvette picked up her phone and made a call. A bodyguard that was stationed nearby answered her.Kiki overheard her telling the person on the phone to isolate a few of them and beat them up."What do you mean?"Kiki still didn't understand what was happening.The driver started the car and drove them to a secluded location.Kiki then realized that all the people who had previously pushed her were now being cornered and beaten up."Yvvy, this is...""I can tolerate it if they bully me, but I can't stand it when they bully you," Yvette said, enunciating each word clearly.Kiki felt moved. She hugged Yvette tightly, saying, "Yvvy, you're amazing! My true love!"Yvette couldn't help but laugh. "Dummy. You're my best friend. You stood by me, so of course, I'll stand by you."She was no longer the person she once was, with nothing to her name. Yvette now had weal
