An hour later, Yvette arrived at the branch company of Titan Corporation, where Terrence was working at the moment.He personally came out to greet her. "Come on up to have a look at my office, Yvvy!"Now dressed smartly in a suit and leather shoes, he led Yvette to his office. Along the way, people greeted him, addressing him as "Mr. Snyder" along their way. She could tell how much he had changed. Once they reached his office, she sat on the couch. Terrence personally poured her a glass of warm water. "You're now pregnant, so I'm not going to serve you coffee, Yvvy.""Thank you," she replied, delighted to see his transformation."There's no need to be so formal with me when you're my sister. Don't forget we used to play together when we were younger," Terrence said as he sat down.Yvette nodded."You're truly doing well now." She figured that if James were aware of everything, he wouldn't blame Terrence anymore.Terrence seemed genuinely remorseful now. "Jeremiah is the reaso
Jackie nodded. "Alright."She walked out with a heavy heart, knowing she'd be the one to take the blame again.She called Zoey, "Ms. Yandell, Mr. Jeremiah is still in a meeting and has a crucial client to meet tonight. He sincerely apologizes for not being able to join you for the performance."Zoey, who had been browsing wedding dresses, instantly bristled with anger."Is he truly busy, or did you not tell him?" She had always harbored deep resentment toward any woman near Jeremiah.Jackie could only offer an apology. "I'm sorry, Ms. Yandell. I've passed along the message."As she spoke, she glanced at Jeremiah, who was engrossed in his work in his office, knowing she had no choice but to lie for him."Mr. Jeremiah specifically asked me to prepare a gift for you as an apology."Zoey's fury eased slightly at the mention of a gift. "Tell him he's never allowed to refuse me again.""Understood."After finally appeasing Zoey, Jackie picked a gift from the company's client stock
Seeing Yvette stand up for Yasmine, Irene exclaimed, "Who are you? Don't you know that this girl's grandfather has agreed to let Ms. Zelnik raise her?""How do I know you're not trying to abduct the child?" Yvette countered.Irene laughed in anger. "Do you have any idea who I work for? Do you really think Ms. Zelnik needs to abduct children?""I don't care who you are. Trying to take a child in broad daylight is wrong," Yvette replied coldly.She held Yasmine protectively in her arms and took out her phone. "Don't be scared. I'm calling the police."Seeing that Yvette was about to report her, Irene immediately stepped in front of her. "Please, ma'am, don't call the police. I truly mean no harm."Yvette paused, then turned to Yasmine. "Can you tell me what's really going on?"Yasmine wiped her tears and replied, "My grandpa and I were selling flowers on the street when we met these people. They said they wanted to adopt me. But I don't want that; I want to stay with my grandpa fo
Gemma's hand froze in midair.Yasmine tugged at Yvette's sleeve, saying, "Can you take me back? I'm scared. I want to find my grandpa."Her trust now rested solely on Yvette.Unable to resist Yasmine's plea, Yvette agreed. "Okay."She took Yasmine's hand and turned to Gemma. "Ms. Zelnik, if you genuinely want to adopt a child, you need to consider the child's feelings."Gemma slowly withdrew her hand. "Let's go. I'll go with you to take her back home."Yasmine led the way, weaving through narrow alleys until they arrived at a modest apartment building. The area was still part of the city center, suggesting that Yasmine's family situation might not be too dire.Before they reached the door, Yasmine suddenly broke free from Yvette's grasp and ran toward an elderly man with graying hair. "Grandpa!""Yasmine!" he exclaimed."Grandpa, I don't want to be someone else's daughter; I want to stay with you. Please don't leave me!" Yasmine cried, tears streaming down her cheeks. "Don't w
As soon as Yvette stepped outside, a car slowly approached her. The window rolled down, revealing Jeremiah's strikingly handsome face."Yvvy."She paused and looked over. "What a coincidence."After Jeremiah had saved her the last time, combined with the changes in Terrence and the praise she'd heard about Jeremiah, Yvette began to view him in a different light."What are you doing here? Do you need a ride home?" Jeremiah asked.Yvette shook her head. "No, thanks. I'll catch a cab later."Although Jeremiah was genuinely kind, she wanted to maintain her distance from him.Jeremiah instructed the driver to stop. Then, he opened the door and stepped out."Then let me walk with you for a bit."Yvette felt it would be rude to refuse, so she fell into step beside him. As they walked together, they drew the attention of several passersby."Are you feeling better?" Jeremiah asked, trying to keep the conversation going.Yvette nodded. "Yeah, much better. Thank you."Noticing that sh
"Got it!" Cynthia replied, understanding Yvette's intentions. "Zoey is truly despicable; she needs to be taught a lesson."As the online chatter continued to escalate, many who were unaware of the truth began leaving negative comments about Yvette's song. Yvette chose to ignore them, waiting for the situation to intensify and draw in more attention. With the Internet being as powerful as it was, it wouldn't take long for everyone to know the full story.Yvette put her phone aside and headed to the kitchen for dinner.Soon, Lillian returned home, and they all sat down together at the table.Later that evening, Noah was about to start a live stream before bed and quickly noticed that Yvette was trending."Mom has been accused of plagiarizing Ms. Cameron? Why would she copy herself?" Furious about the rumors, Noah picked up his phone and called Zachary. "Zac, you need to check the news online!""I've already seen it," Zachary replied."Then you have to do something about those
After finishing her dinner, Zoey returned to her room and called Mila.Although she was currently staying at the Lanes, Jeremiah had been avoiding living together, using her pregnancy as an excuse."Make arrangements; no matter how much it costs, I want to create the biggest buzz tonight." Zoey understood that if Jeremiah intervened, the hype would quickly fade, and tonight was the perfect opportunity."Got it," Mila replied, immediately getting to work on buying traffic and reaching out to media contacts for support.Before long, the excitement generated from that night led to a wave of comments across major platforms accusing Yvette of plagiarism.Even Aaron, who was abroad, came across the news, which claimed that Yvette had shamelessly plagiarized Cameron's song for a competition.It was still daytime where Aaron was, and he was taken aback when he read the article. "What a joke! Why would Yvvy plagiarize?"Noticing the news, Joel asked, "Isn't that song, 'Never Give Up',
"Madam Yara, you're awake! Haven't slept yet? Why are you still looking at your phone?" the nurse asked gently.Yara looked up. "It seems Yvette is in some trouble.""What happened?" The nurse moved closer, spotting the trending news on Yara's screen. "I saw it this morning too. Is it really about Ms. Snyder?"Yara nodded. "It's hard to believe otherwise.""How could Ms. Snyder plagiarize someone else's work?" The nurse was in disbelief.Yara had reached a point in her life where things had become clearer, such as who truly cared about her and who didn't.She also understood that her days were limited. As her end neared, she wanted to right her wrongs. She wanted to leave this world with a sense of peace so she could face James in the afterlife."Maybe she just wanted fame too badly." Yara sighed. After having spent all morning reading about the allegations, she found herself beginning to believe them. After all, she had seen Cameron in action and knew just how incredibly ta
