"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
The call was connected shortly after. Xavier's icy voice sounded from the other end of the call. "Are you finally free now?"Yvette was confused hearing his question. "Why did you call me?""Come to the Azure Villa now." Xavier only said a sentence before ending the call.Yvette became even more perplexed.At that moment, Jeremiah walked out, having taken a shower and gotten changed. When he saw her standing in the living room, he couldn't help but ask, "Have you had breakfast? Should I take you back?"Yvette immediately shook her head. "There's no need for it. I can head back on my own."She then thanked him again before leaving the place.There weren't many cars outside of Amberstone Villa. It took some time before Yvette was able to get a cab to Azure Villa.She wasn't sure what had happened to Xavier, but she thought it would be best to check on him.…It didn't take Leonard long to draft the divorce agreement after he arrived at Azure Villa.When Yvette arrived, she fou
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
