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."
Yvette was still thinking about how Xavier kept saving her again and again. When she heard his question, she was amused and pinched his arm. "What a silly question!"Before she could answer him, her phone suddenly rang and interrupted their sweet conversation."Who is it?" he asked.Yvette took a look at her phone and saw that it was Claude. So, she answered him truthfully, "It's Claude."Like a jealous teenager, he said, "Put him on speaker. I want to hear why he's calling."Although Yvette had just been acting the previous day, Xavier had gotten jealous when he'd noticed how in sync she and Claude had been. Feeling helpless, she answered the call and placed it on speaker. "Hey, Claude," she said."I called Ray yesterday, and he told me what happened. Are you alright now?" asked Claude."Yeah, I'm fine now," she answered.Then, he added, "Good. What I said yesterday was true. If you want, I can send someone to pick you up now. I'll make sure no one hurts you again when you
Jeremiah's gaze turned cold, but he still didn't say anything. After taking a few bites of his breakfast, he stood up."Mom, I'm done eating. I'll be heading to the company now.""Are you still working today?" asked Shannon."Yeah. I won't be able to help out at home anyway." After he was done talking, he turned to Zoey. "Since you're at home, help Mom out with the event. Don't appear in public again unless it's necessary."He said that because of how she'd accused Yvette of plagiarism a few days ago and gotten exposed for it. Zoey unwillingly stopped talking and just said, "Alright."Since what had happened had caused a huge commotion, she didn't dare to be angry at him over his words.After Jeremiah went out, he took out his phone and saw a few missed calls from Trevor. He called Trevor back, and the call was connected in no time. Then, Trevor's shaky voice sounded. "What should we do, Mr. Jeremiah? Sunny has been taken away by Xavier's men."Jeremiah wasn't surprised to h
Usually, they would make Sunny disappear from the face of the Earth. However, Xavier was worried about scaring Yvette, so he lied. "We'll make sure he doesn't come back to Tirion ever again.""I see," she said upon realization.Suddenly, someone knocked on the door, and a bodyguard said, "Mr. Lane, Ms. Jeana says she wants to see you."Xavier frowned; he didn't like Jeana at all. Before he could say anything, she had already barged her way over to the ward's door. "Xav! Are you alright?"She remembered how badly he'd been injured when he'd saved Yvette. She didn't understand why he'd still wanted to save Yvette when she'd clearly betrayed him. Then, she wondered if Yvette really was that likable.The bodyguards stopped her from moving forward. However, since she was Xavier's cousin and was injured as well, they couldn't lay a finger on her."Get out of my way. I want to see Xav."Hearing the commotion outside, Yvette's ears began to hurt. "Let her in."Then, the bodyguards fina
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
