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
Meanwhile, a security guard brought in a package from the gates. "Mrs. Lane, this package came for you."Yvette sat up and walked to the door. Then, she saw a cardboard box that was at least three feet long."Alright. Thanks."She was curious about what Yara had sent her.When Noah heard that there was a package for Yvette, he came out of his room as well. He wanted to open it with her.When they were finished opening it, they were stunned. The box was filled with old toys and stationery, which seemed like ones meant for girls.Yvette recognized them right away since they'd belonged to her when she'd been younger.When Yara and Terrence had auctioned off Snyder Residence, Daphne had bought it. After that, Xavier had bought the house back for Yvette. However, when she'd moved in again, she hadn't seen any of her belongings from when she'd been younger. "Why would she have these?" She hadn't thought that Yara would keep everything she'd owned as a child.Noah curiously looked a
When Yvette heard Yara calling her belongings pieces of junk, she wasn't as upset or angry as she used to be."In that case, thank you, Madam Yara. I hope you find peace soon." After saying that, she ended the call.Yvette's mood hadn't been that bad before she'd seen her old diary. BUt once she'd seen it, she'd read about how she'd tried her best to make Yara like her in the past and gotten hurt multiple times. In the end, she couldn't take it anymore.Back at the hospital, Yara kept holding onto her phone as she thought about what Yvette had said."I hope you find peace soon."She figured she'd probably go to hell instead of finding peace.After that, she opened up the gallery app on her phone. It turned out that she had actually saved the diary Yvette had written in the past.When Yara had found Yvette's belongings, she had already gone through them first. She had read Yvette's diary over and over again, and she had really regretted her actions. If she had a second chance, sh
After the door was slammed shut in Jeana's face, she put her ear up against the door, hoping to hear what was going on inside. However, the soundproofing in the house had been done well. On top of that, Yvette and Ray were talking on the balcony. So, Jeana couldn't hear a single thing."How shameless! How could a man and a woman be in a room together?" Jeana mumbled to herself.She didn't notice when Noah had appeared by her side. When she was badmouthing Yvette, she suddenly felt her leg getting wet. When Jeana looked down, she saw him pouring an unknown liquid on her leg. It smelled awful."Ah! Noah, what are you doing?"Noah innocently said, "I got this from Wendy, Jeana. She said this is a fertilizer and that it could make flowers grow faster and better! I noticed your leg was still injured, so I've decided to help it a little."When she heard that, her face fell. Then, she ran to the bathroom downstairs while screaming.When Noah saw how anxious she looked, he patted his h
After a short while, there were more than a dozen people saying they would be joining in. Yvette checked the messages and saw that Yvonne would be going as well. She'd known that Yvonne would definitely attend the gathering as long as she was attending it.It would be the last day of the holiday the next day, so Brooklyn made a reservation at a restaurant for 8:00 pm then.When Yvonne received the confirmation, she couldn't wait to call Daphne anymore. "Daph, did you see the news in the group chat?"There was no way Daphne wouldn't have seen it. After all, she had been holding onto her phone and watching out for any news about Yvette. She'd been terrified that she would be caught up in what had happened recently.Unfortunately, she hadn't seen anything about Yvette after waiting for a long time. All she'd received was news about Yvette attending the gathering."I did. What about it?" She pretended to be calm."Let's go together! Don't you want to see how she's doing now?" Yvonn
Yvette saw that the call was disconnected and decided not to worry about Xavier anymore.…On the other end, Mark stood outside the ICU ward. Up until now, Xavier still hadn't woken up.Tristan came over and checked all the indicators. "There's nothing wrong, so why hasn't he woken up yet?""Mr. Shaw, do you think Mr. Lane might never wake up?" There was a look of concern in Mark's eyes as he asked that. He couldn't believe that the person he had always followed would leave in such a way."Don't overthink it," Tristan said, giving him a pat on the shoulder.Suddenly, there was a noise from the outside."Who are you? This is a private hospital. No one else is allowed to be here.""How can you resort to violence?"There was the sound of things clattering, followed by the cries of pain from those in a fight.Tristan frowned. "Who is it? Do they have a death wish?"Mark was also in disbelief. Shortly afterward, they finally saw clearly who was approaching them.Jeremiah was s
Over at Snyder Residence, Yvette was woken up early by Kiki, who also informed her that there were negative rumors about Zoey circulating online."Yvvy, see, I told you that the media wouldn't easily let Zoey off the hook."Yvette read through them again.However, these news stories disappeared not long after they were published.While eating breakfast, Kiki frowned and said, "The speed at which trending articles change is just too fast.""That's the benefit of having money," Yvette said.Even the children knew about the trending articles being removed.Zachary had originally wanted to hack in further to make Zoey's news trend more frequently. Unfortunately, it seems they had figured out about the hacking attempts, so they fortified their firewall and posted someone to monitor the situation.If he hacked in again, there was a chance he might expose himself.Zachary decided to back off and settled for teaching Zoey a small lesson.…Yara was to be laid to rest today.Yvette
"We've found her, and we're currently figuring out how to obtain her biological sample," Elijah replied.Zoey was really anxious. She said, "Great. Once you've got it, come back as soon as you can.""Okay."Zoey hung up the phone and laid down to rest, but she just couldn't fall asleep.If Xandra really was Gemma's daughter, given Gemma's doting and overprotective nature, she would want to give half of everything she owned to Xandra.No, it wasn't just half. By then, Zoey might end up with nothing, and everything would go to Xandra.Zoey had a rough night and didn't sleep well, but fortunately, Elijah sent a message saying everything had been arranged. They were coming back today, so they could move forward with the examination earlier than planned.Just as things got settled over at Zoey's, online articles started trending elsewhere."Zoey Yandell is suspected to be the biological daughter of Yara Cadwell.""Zoey Yandell is unwilling to acknowledge her biological mother in or
"Fine, then. What a pity," Kiki said as she put down her phone.Yvette reassured her, saying, "There's nothing to feel bad about. What happened today was a warning to Zoey that I'm not someone to be messed with."Kiki nodded, saying, "Yes."They all understood that as long as Zoey was the Zelnik family's daughter, she would always have someone to protect her.Kiki said, "Gemma treats her adopted daughter so well. If she had her own kids, they'd definitely be happy too.""Yes, indeed."Yvette admired Zoey for having such a supportive mother who stood by her no matter what happened.Kiki asked, "Yvvy, have you ever thought about finding your biological mother?"She suddenly realized that many parents who abandoned their children might have done so because they had no other choice, or perhaps they did so for other reasons.Yvette shook her head. "I don't want to be disappointed again."Parents who could abandon their daughter at the orphanage probably didn't love her very much.
Kiki nodded and said, "Yes, it's them. They're incredibly arrogant. Just thinking about it still makes me really angry."Yvette picked up her phone and made a call. A bodyguard that was stationed nearby answered her.Kiki overheard her telling the person on the phone to isolate a few of them and beat them up."What do you mean?"Kiki still didn't understand what was happening.The driver started the car and drove them to a secluded location.Kiki then realized that all the people who had previously pushed her were now being cornered and beaten up."Yvvy, this is...""I can tolerate it if they bully me, but I can't stand it when they bully you," Yvette said, enunciating each word clearly.Kiki felt moved. She hugged Yvette tightly, saying, "Yvvy, you're amazing! My true love!"Yvette couldn't help but laugh. "Dummy. You're my best friend. You stood by me, so of course, I'll stand by you."She was no longer the person she once was, with nothing to her name. Yvette now had weal
Zoey never imagined that Yvette had secretly recorded their conversation back then.She immediately told the approaching reporters, "Stop taking pictures."However, even if the reporters didn't take photos, the guests who attended would take pictures and record videos."With this whole mix-up between the real and fake daughters, is Zoey actually from the Yandell family or the Snyder family?"Lawrence was upset and said, "My daughter, of course, took my last name.""Ah, so Yara was having an affair..."The people who came to attend the funeral on behalf of the Snyder family were instantly displeased."Are you kidding? Yara has been with you all along. Do you think us Snyders are a bunch of nobodies?"The members of the Snyder family and the people from the Cadwell family suddenly started arguing fiercely.Yvette looked at everything happening before her and just felt a deep sense of sadness.Kiki was supporting her upright, fearing she might get unintentionally caught up in th
The people present whispered to each other, confused about what Yvette was trying to do."Yvette, we were in the wrong before. Please don't take our words too seriously."The ones who previously criticized Yvette were now pretending to say nice things, fearing retaliation from her.Zoey and Lawrence stood among the crowd, unsure of what Yvette was going to do or say.Yvette ignored the person speaking and instead pulled out a report. "This is a paternity test. I am not Ms. Cadwell's biological daughter."She spoke about it boldly and bluntly.Everyone present was stunned to hear that, including Zoey and Terrence.Terrence never imagined that the sister he grew up with was not actually the daughter of the Cadwells."Yvette, don't joke around," Terrence said while forcing a laugh.Yvette looked at Terrence and said, "I'm not joking. To avoid anyone thinking I'm faking it, I've undergone tests at several major hospitals. I'm definitely not a daughter of the Cadwell family or the
The corners of Jeremiah's lips curled into a faint smile. "It seems like things aren't looking good for him."Tristan was immediately infuriated upon hearing those words. He grabbed Jeremiah by the collar and demanded, "What nonsense are you spouting?"Jeremiah looked calmly at him and said, "You're not very good at lying."Tristan was indeed that kind of person—he had no hidden agendas or schemes."You're Xav's own brother. Do you really hate him that much? Do you want him to die?"After hearing this, Jeremiah's expression remained unchanged. "You and Xavier are supposed to be best friends. Can you guarantee that you're not jealous of him and have never thought about making him disappear?""Of course not," Tristan affirmed confidently.When he was younger, he indeed felt jealous of Xavier and was unhappy about always being overshadowed by him. But as he grew older, he realized that everyone had their own strengths and that there was no need to compete with others over everythin
The members of the Cadwell family looked at each other in confusion, and then they began to apologize to Yvette and Kiki."Yvette, I'm sorry. Please forgive us. We're old and unwise.""Yes, yes, we're unwise. We're sorry.""Miss, please forgive us. We'll cover all your medical expenses."They all apologized at once, but only they knew how sincere the apologies actually were.Kiki tugged on Yvette's hand and asked, "Yvvy, what do you think we should do?"Yvette had already figured out how to deal with them. She said, "Since they already realized their mistake, let's just let it go.""Okay." Kiki, seeing that Yvette wasn't bothered by it anymore, agreed as well. "Just make sure you don't bully others by abusing your power in the future.""Right. Yes."Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, thinking they had narrowly escaped a crisis. They didn't realize that Yvette had already planned on how to deal with them.This was, after all, a funeral parlor, and some media reporters would s
