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
Sunny told Xavier to meet him alone. Otherwise, he would kill Yvette and the two children in her belly.Mark couldn't help frowning. "Not only is this guy cunning, but he's a fool as well! How does he expect you to go and see him alone when you're blind?"Xavier clenched his fists tightly. Then, he received another message from Sunny, saying that there was a car downstairs to pick him up. He even said no one else was allowed to get in the car."Take me downstairs," Xavier said coldly."Mr. Lane, this is a trap. If you go there, he definitely won't let you go. Let's get someone to find Mrs. Lane in secret. At least we can save her that way," Mark explained.Although Xavier looked calm, he was already feeling anxious on the inside. Yvette had already become his weak spot. "I can't risk her life. Let's go."Mark knew there was no way he could change Xavier's mind after a decision was made. So, he had no choice but to take Xavier out.Before Xavier got into the vehicle, he said to M
"Oh?" Sunny raised his hand, and his men stopped what they were doing. "Why would she be useful to me? My family lost contact with the Lumbers a long time ago.""That's where you're wrong. She's Xavier's most beloved cousin. If Xavier isn't willing to save me later, you can still use her to control him," said Yvette.Sunny had never expected Xavier to be that flirtatious and even have a beloved cousin. So, he told his men to stop."It looks like Xavier's heart is as blind as his eyes now. Does he care that much about women now? If it had been before, he wouldn't have cared about relationships at all."At that moment, he received word about Xavier getting into the car he had arranged. After reading the message, he stopped talking.Yvette didn't think Xavier would actually come to save her. After all, when he'd gone to Dibay by himself in the past and gotten into trouble, she'd been the one who'd saved him. However, after he'd escaped, he'd even blamed her for what had happened.As
Sunny's men picked up their speed, and the soil quickly reached Yvette and Jeana's knees. Jeana's body was covered in dirt, and she still didn't want to die yet. "Xav, please get me and Yvette out of here now. Half of our bodies are covered in dirt now!"Yvette just protected her belly with her hand and said nothing. Logically speaking, she knew Sunny would never let them go, even if Xavier kneeled in front of him. He might even make Xavier do something that was more humiliating."Xav, even if you don't care about me, you should still think about the children in Yvette's belly!"Upon hearing that, Yvette regretted not letting Jeana die earlier. "Jeana, no one's going to think you're dumb if you keep your mouth shut." She'd already known how cruel Sunny could be, so she'd purposely hidden her belly from sight.As expected, Sunny only noticed her belly at that moment. "Right, you're pregnant again! I'd totally forgotten about it! Get Mr. Lane's wife out of there now."After receiv
