"It's me, Yvette," said Yvette.When Xavier heard her voice, he frowned a little. After a short while, he returned to his senses and reached his hand toward her again.She didn't know what was going on with him at that moment, so she couldn't help avoiding him. "Are you alright?" she asked softly."Why wouldn't I be? What about you? How was living with Claude in private?" he asked.Yvette was more confused at that moment. "What year do you think it is?"Xavier followed her voice and grabbed her. This time, she wasn't able to avoid him, and he managed to pull her into his tight embrace."Let go." She was feeling anxious.However, he wouldn't let her go at all. Instead, he tightened his grip around her. "Why are you asking such weird questions? Do you know I almost died because of you and Claude?"When she heard that, she asked, "Do you remember everything now?"He couldn't understand what she meant by that. All he remembered was that he'd gone to Asnea. He remembered how Claude
Tristan was at the hospital as well. When he saw Yvette leading Xavier into the building, he wanted to snap a photo of them and post it online badly. He wanted to show his friends what was happening, but he didn't dare do so."Xav!" He hurriedly approached Xavier.Yvette was about to let Tristan take over, but Xavier unexpectedly tightened his grip on her hand. Then, he said to Tristan, "Let's go and take a look.""Sure." Tristan couldn't help feeling he was third-wheeling.After they entered the building, Xavier soon went into a specialized examination room. Meanwhile, Yvette was waiting outside.They had been trying out various treatments for some time, and she was slowly losing hope for his recovery. After all, his condition was rare.After a short while, Mark arrived as well and learned that Xavier had regained his memories again. Unfortunately, Xavier couldn't remember what had happened during the time he'd last lost his memories.As expected, after the examinations were do
"Xav lost his memories once before. I'm guessing he hasn't fully recovered yet," Jeremiah said to Jeana as he stood at the top floor of Empire Club."He lost his memories?" She couldn't help feeling surprised. "No wonder he couldn't tell who I was again."Jeremiah suddenly changed the topic, asking, "Do you really want to marry him?"She said without any hesitation, "Yes. I've liked him since I was a little girl."Be it within the Lane family or in the outside world, Xavier had always been an amazing person. He was just unfortunate to have become blind. However, that was the reason why she thought she was worthy of him at that moment."In that case, you should grab the opportunity. If he loses his memories again…" Jeremiah stopped talking after that.Jeana understood what he meant, but she felt frustrated again. "I pretended to be in an accident just so I could stay in Tirion. I'm worried they still won't let me stay now.""It looks like you're not determined enough," Jeremiah m
Back at the hospital, Jeana fell into a deep thought after Jeremiah told him that she wasn't determined enough. After thinking about it for a long time, she finally had an idea. She limped her way out of the hospital and hailed a cab. She went straight to Lane Mansion.…When Yvette and Xavier returned to Dewberry Manor that afternoon, they saw Jeana was there as well. Since her legs were supposedly hurt, she was sitting down. Clifford was sitting next to her on the couch."You're back," said Clifford."Hi, Grandpa," Yvette politely greeted him.After he nodded, he went to the point right away. "Xav, Yvette, Jeana is my old friend's granddaughter, and that makes her your cousin. Her accident this time has something to do with you chasing her away too."He was saying that Jeana wouldn't have been in an accident if they hadn't chased her away. He continued, "I've made a decision on your behalf to let her stay. After she has recovered, she can help you look after the kids. She c
After Jeana got into an accident, Yvette had come to understand how determined the woman could be. Jeana could even give up on her own life to get what she wanted, and she wasn't as foolish as she seemed.Hearing that she could stay, Jeana finally stopped kneeling. "Thank you, Yvette and Xav! Once I'm fully recovered, I'll definitely take good care of you.""There's no need for that. Grandpa had a point. Since you're our relative, that makes you our guest," Yvette said calmly.Jeana pursed her lips. "You sure are great, Yvette. I used to think Daphne would be more benevolent than you if she were my cousin-in-law."She sure knew how to attack where it would hurt the most.Seeing that everything had been decided, Clifford didn't stay there any longer. After he met Noah when the latter came back, he returned to the mansion.Noah didn't like Clifford that much. He thought Clifford wasn't as great as Archibald. As he had expected, when he saw Jeana, he understood what was going on.
Yvette had no idea that Xavier was actually still jealous. She just said, "You should get your memory fixed first and stop losing them from time to time."She really couldn't handle it. After all, Xavier had been really frustrating in the past. He just answered with a hum.Labor Day was around the corner. When Yvette thought about returning to Lane Mansion again, she felt annoyed."Let's sleep now. I'm tired."However, Xavier didn't want to sleep at all. He held her in his arms and gently kissed her forehead."Go ahead and sleep. I'm not tired yet." His hoarse voice sounded irresistible.After being kissed on the forehead, Yvette opened her eyes and saw his face being closed to her. "Don't do this."She avoided him and pushed him away with her hand. However, he just grabbed her wrist and said softly, "Be good and listen to me."Yvette didn't know what was wrong with her—she couldn't resist his temptation that night. …When she woke up the next day, it was already 11:00 am, a
An hour later, Yvette and Jeana had gotten kidnapped, with both their eyes covered. When the two pieces of cloth were removed from their heads, Yvette realized they were held at an abandoned factory.Jeana was tied to a post, and she was anxiously struggling. "What's going on, Yvette?"An hour ago, a vehicle had stopped in front of them. Then, a few men had rushed out and forced them into the MPV. At that moment, Jeana still hadn't returned to her senses and was in a daze.Yvette frowned when she heard Jeana. "Shut up!"She thought it was obvious that someone had abducted them. She instinctively thought Zoey must have instigated Gemma to do it again. However, shortly after that, someone opened the doors. Then, a woman walked in with her loud high heels.When Yvette saw who it was, she was stunned. "Daphne?"Daphne slowly approached Yvette and bent down. "I bet you never expected this day to come, did you, Yvette?"Yvette had truly never seen it coming. However, she was curio
"Ahh! My leg! You're going to break it…" Jeana cried nonstop. Seeing how her pleading wasn't working on Daphne, she turned to Yvette. "Yvette, call the police now! Think of something to get me out of here!"Upon hearing Yvette's name, Daphne finally took her foot off and looked at Yvette again. "I almost forgot about you."Yvette glared at Jeana for a moment before saying to Daphne, "I still remember what you said to me before.""What is it?" Daphne was confused."You said that we had no conflicts between us other than the fight over Xavier. We were still friends back then, and we only became love rivals later on, didn't we?" said Yvette.Daphne remembered it. It was true that she had said that. However, she clenched her fists tightly."You're right. We didn't have any hatred between us back then. However, you've ruined my reputation, and I have to hide from society because of you. Now, I just want you to die!"Yvette remained calm. She knew she had to buy herself more time unti
