Seeing that Clifford wanted to protect Jeana, Xavier was at a loss for words. "They're mine."Clifford threw his cane at Xavier, and it almost hit the latter's body. "So, you're still unwilling to tell me the truth at this point, huh?"Since it had come to that, Xavier had no choice but to tell Clifford about the crisis they had been in the other day. He also told Clifford how Yvette had done everything she could to buy more time. After Clifford heard the story, he was stunned. He didn't return to his senses for a long time."Does that mean that everything Yvette said was fake?""Of course. Why wouldn't I know whose children she's carrying when they're both mine?" Xavier answered with another question.Hearing that, Clifford could finally relax. "So, that's why! Oh, Jeana… Why didn't you get to the bottom of it first before spouting nonsense to me?"As Xavier had expected, Jeana was the one who'd told Clifford about it. When he heard her name, his gaze turned cold.Clifford
Malcolm had never expected he would be pulled underwater as well when he'd pushed Noah earlier. Although he'd learned how to swim before, the pond was nothing like a pool. Noah was also holding on to him tightly, and he couldn't escape. Malcolm silently cursed in his mind.Suddenly, a person swam toward them. Malcolm thought the person was going to save him. Unexpectedly, Noah was the one being saved instead. When Noah was saved, he finally let go of Malcolm's shirt.In less than a minute, Jeremiah managed to save Noah. It was fortunate that Noah hadn't swallowed any of the pond water. He just looked a little pale.Meanwhile, one of the guards saved Malcolm shortly after that as well.When Yvette arrived at the scene, she saw how Jeremiah saved Noah. She hurriedly ran to them and hugged the boy. "Noah!"The other people in the crowd hurriedly called an ambulance. Thus, the gathering had to end early because of the conflict between the two kids.As a doctor examined the boys at
When Malcolm heard there were surveillance cameras at the banquet, he became scared. However, he still stubbornly said, "Sure."Yvette added, "What if we see that Noah didn't push you and you were the one who pushed him instead? Shouldn't you apologize too?"Malcolm thought it wasn't a big deal, so he agreed with a nod. "Alright."While they were talking, Xavier had already told Luther to take care of it. Shortly after that, they received the surveillance footage from the event.Yvette took the footage and showed it to everyone there. They could clearly see that Malcolm was the one who pushed Noah. The only reason he'd ended up in the water too was that Noah had kept holding onto his shirt.With that, the truth was revealed.Clifford had been on Malcolm's side at first, but now, he was furious. "Malcolm, how could you lie?"It wouldn't have mattered that much if it had been the first time. But Malcolm had lied multiple times. Clifford still remembered how Malcolm had purposely p
Yvette and Xavier were already on their way back to Lane Mansion with Noah. While they were on their way, Noah looked at the marble, which looked rather ordinary."Dad, Mom, is this marble really worth a lot of money?"Yvette nodded. "Yeah, relics like that are precious. So you need to keep it safe."Clifford had also said that a late monk had passed it down, so it truly must not have been easy to get it."Alright." After Noah made that promise, he fell asleep while leaning against Yvette. She held him in her arms and didn't dare to let him leave her sight.When they got back to the mansion, she tucked him in bed before taking a shower and getting ready for bed herself. Xavier had washed up and gotten in bed before her. When they slept together that night, Yvette had a nightmare that something terrible had happened to Noah. She ended up waking in shock."Noah…"Xavier wasn't sleeping deeply. When he heard her voice, he held her in his arms. "Did you have a nightmare?"Yvette
However, that didn't mean they wouldn't say anything about Yvette.The ladies said proudly, "My husband has been working abroad lately. He doesn't have any time to spend with me because he has a lot of business to attend to.""The same goes for my husband as well. He needs to talk about business and meet his clients every day. He didn't even come with me this time.""Let's not talk about this now."Although they sounded like they were complaining about their husbands' flaws, there was nothing bad to complain about in reality. Instead, they were just showing off how capable those men were.Someone even flattered Zoey, saying, "No matter how busy our husbands are, they're nowhere near as busy as Jeremiah. Since Xavier isn't handling things anymore, Jeremiah's the one who's taking care of Titan Corporation. He even has to accompany Zoey while he's at it."Zoey felt pleased and smiled. "Most importantly, Jerry cares about me. No matter how busy he is, he'll always find the time to ac
"Jeana!"Zoey caught up with the limping Jeana in no time. The latter stopped walking and looked at her, "What's up, Zoey?"Because of Jeremiah, Jeana was a little afraid of Zoey as well."Nothing. I just wanted to talk with you. Where are you heading now? Why don't we take a walk together?" said Zoey.Jeana was afraid of rejecting her. So, they both headed to see Clifford together.Zoey couldn't help asking, "Do you dislike Yvette a lot?"Jeana was stunned. When she returned to her senses, she quickly denied it. "No, I don't." There was no way she would admit to hating Yvette."Oh, alright. I thought you'd be like me and think there was something wrong with her." Zoey sighed.When Jeana heard that, she asked in confusion, "Do you dislike her too, Zoey?"Zoey nodded. "Not only that, but I really hate her. She's a two-faced woman. Do you think she's satisfied with only being Xavier's wife?"Jeana looked at her in anticipation of more gossip."She's interested in Jeremiah as w
Xavier was standing on the top floor of Lane Mansion with Jeremiah."Did you already know about what Sunny did?" he asked.Jeremiah lazily leaned on the rails and looked at the sky. "I'm not part of what happened this time."He was basically admitting to Xavier's question by saying that. Xavier had already known that Jeremiah wasn't as gentle as he looked, but he still couldn't believe that his own brother would try to kill him."Why are you still unsatisfied when you already have Titan Corporation?"When Jeremiah heard that, he started laughing. "There are so many things I'm unsatisfied with. The biggest one is that you're married to the woman I love, but you're acting as if you don't owe me anything!"Xavier stopped going soft on Jeremiah after hearing that. He grabbed the latter's collar right away and held it tight. Both of them had the same build. However, Jeremiah had always been weak, so he wasn't Xavier's match at all, even if the latter was blind.Jackie was standing
Mark had already been about to tell Xavier about it. "Mr. Lane, Trevor is now kneeling in front of Dewberry Manor. He said he knew nothing about what Sunny had done. He even said he would do anything you say from now on if you could let him go." Xavier knew things weren't as simple as they seemed. However, he couldn't find anything else about the situation."Since Sunny isn't willing to say anything, there's no need to interrogate him anymore.""Yes, sir."Mark understood what he was implying. There was no need to keep Sunny around anymore."What about Trevor?"Xavier didn't want to kill Trevor yet. He also knew the latter was a coward who was only interested in women. "Spare him.""Alright."…Yvette was resting on the couch at Dewberry Manor when Jeana told her that Trevor was kneeling outside. He was begging for mercy.Jeana asked Yvette, "Has Daphne been caught?" She still remembered how Daphne had stepped on her injured leg with heels on.Yvette opened her eyes slightl
