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
When Yvette saw what was happening, her pupils constricted, and she teared up. "Xavier!"Xavier remained calm and didn't even frown a little. He just comforted her, saying, "Don't worry. I'm fine."Yvette saw how red his white shirt was and knew he couldn't possibly be fine. She wanted to run to him, but the men there kept holding her back.So, she could only yell, "Stop pretending, Xavier. I know you don't care about me at all. All you care about are the children in my belly. You know what? They aren't even yours at all!"Right after she said that, everyone looked at her in shock. They were all speechless.Jeana had been about to faint earlier. However, after hearing that, she became furious. "How could you betray Xavier, you bitch?"Yvette chuckled coldly. "What's wrong? Is your cousin the only one who can cheat on me? Is he the only one who can mess around with other women while I have to stay away from other men? Isn't that a little unfair? Since everyone in the Lane family l
If Yvette really was Claude's woman, then Sunny definitely couldn't touch her!He'd never actually planned on doing anything to her in the first place. After all, he knew that Jeremiah was interested in her too.He had no intention of offending Jeremiah as well. He knew his family wasn't a match for the Lanes at that moment."How can I tell if you're telling the truth?" He took out his phone and said, "Since you're pregnant with Claude's children, you should know his phone number, right?"Yvette's heart skipped a beat, and she hoped Ray would be there with backup soon. So, she said, "Of course."What she didn't know was that Ray and Mark had already reached there with backup. They had surrounded the place. However, they were still trying to see what was happening inside, just in case."I have his number saved in my phone."Sunny looked at his men, and they immediately understood what he wanted. They hurriedly grabbed Yvette's phone and passed it to him. After he scrolled through
Ray and his men had already taken out Sunny's men outside the factory. They also noticed that Xavier and the rest were in a good place to be rescued at that moment. So, Ray and Mark exchanged glances and rushed inside.Everything happened so quickly that Sunny couldn't believe what was going on. Even his men were anxious."Mr. Lumber!"At that moment, Sunny finally realized that Yvette and the rest had been buying time as they waited to be rescued. He couldn't believe how foolish he'd been. However, he couldn't help but wonder how Mark and the others had found him.There was no way he could escape anymore. However, he was still determined to make Xavier and the others pay with their lives."If one of you can kill these two women and Xavier, I'll give you ten million dollars! If you die here, I'll send the money to your family!"That amount of money was something that an ordinary person would never be able to make in their whole life. The men exchanged glances before approaching
Unfortunately, Xavier wasn't able to answer Yvette this time.She tightened her grip on his hand.When Mark noticed that Yvette was covered in blood, he became worried as well. "Are you hurt, Mrs. Lane? Why don't you let the doctor examine you first?"She slowly shook her head. "I'm not hurt. He's the only one who's hurt."Then, Mark stopped talking.It took the doctor a long time to stop the bleeding. Then, he said, "He needs to go to the hospital to get stitched up. One of his arteries was injured, and I can only stop the bleeding for now.""Alright, I understand." Mark nodded.There was a long cut on the right side of Xavier's head, and it almost reached his face.Mark was starting to have regrets, thinking that he and Ray should've been more careful earlier. Maybe that way, Xavier wouldn't have been hurt in the end. It was a shame that there were no second chances.When they finally reached the hospital, Tristan operated on Xavier himself. Meanwhile, Jeana was sent to anot
When Xavier woke up, he moved his hand a little and realized someone had been holding it the whole time.Yvette immediately opened her eyes. "Xav, you're awake!"When he heard her voice, he gripped her hand tighter. "Yeah. It feels like I've been sleeping for a long time."She got closer to him and hugged him with her other hand. "You didn't just sleep for a long time. You almost died!"After all, one of his arteries had been injured, and the amount of blood he'd lost had been terrifying.When she hugged him, his body tensed up. He slowly lifted his hand and gently patted her back. "Don't worry. I'm fine now, aren't I?"She hugged him tighter, and it felt like her entire face was buried in his chest. His shirt was soaked with her tears.His heart tightened as he said, "Don't cry."Yvette took a deep breath. "I'm not.""Are you hungry?" After asking that, she looked at him again. "Oh, since you're awake, I should call Tristan over now. He can check on your current condition."
