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
Back in the ward, Xavier reached his hand out toward Yvette. She habitually placed her hand on it. "Does your head still hurt?""Not anymore," he said. "But I still need a hug."She sat on the bed and hugged him. "Let me know if I accidentally touch your wound.""I know. I'm not that dumb," he said with a smile. He hadn't felt so blissful in a long while. They hugged each other for a long time and weren't even done when someone opened the door from outside."Why are you hugging Mom when you're an adult, Dad?" Upon hearing the adorable voice, Yvette looked toward the door. Then, she saw Noah standing there, with Ray holding his hand.Noah was stunned. "Mom, you two are too evil! How could you secretly hug each other at the hospital and send me to school on a holiday?"When Yvette returned to her senses, she immediately let Xavier go."About that…" She didn't know how to explain it. Noah looked into her eyes like he had seen through everything. "I guess I really am an accident
