"This was the contract you signed, and now, just after two days, the other party wants to terminate it forcefully," Marlene said.Yvette ignored her and focused on reading through the contents of the termination contract.Was Hanstein Group actually willing to pay Titan Corporation three times the compensation for breaching the contract just to terminate the agreement?"Why would Ms. Hanstein engage in such a losing business venture?""Who knows? But anyway, we've been forced to terminate the contract now. What were we going to do with the goods in the warehouse? They all have expiration dates."Marlene was currently in charge of food sales, and Hanstein Group was considered one of the top buyers in Tirion.If Hanstein Group canceled the contract, then the goods from Titan Corporation would likely go to waste.Even though compensation was provided for contract termination and this batch of goods wouldn't be affected, losing a partner like Hanstein Group meant it was only a matte
As soon as those words were spoken, there was a moment of dead silence, which was then followed by a burst of conversation from all around."IM Enterprise strikes again. Not only did they take one of our partners, but now they've taken Hanstein Group too?""They are so wealthy. They just don't stop.""IM Enterprise's presence in Tirion has been a real nuisance. I suspect it's a foreign company."Everyone was busy chiming in with their own thoughts.Marlene also hadn't expected that the real reason was that another company had poached their collaboration.She was still not satisfied and said, "After listening to the recording, it sounds like you and Ms. Hanstein are quite familiar. Could it be that you're the one who told her about IM Enterprise?"She just wouldn't stop smearing Yvette's name and throwing her under the bus, huh?"Ms. Larson, I just answered this question for you. Are you forgetful or just not using your brain? I'll say it again. If I had told Ms. Hanstein about
Ever since IM Enterprise arrived in Tirion, it dominated almost all the other companies there.Because of their lack of understanding of IM Enterprise, Titan Corporation ended up at a disadvantage. Everyone was just thinking about how to keep IM Enterprise from becoming too complacent, and no one dared to consider taking away IM Enterprise's clients. Yvette was the first to do so.Jeremiah listened to what Yvette said and felt a great deal of admiration for her.He was fed up with being passive for a long time, so it was definitely time for him to take the initiative.Yvette continued, "I believe no company's funds are limitless. Now, with IM Enterprise putting in considerable effort to secure a contract with Hanstein Group, why not take advantage of this opportunity to win back some of the projects they took from us?""Will this work?" a senior executive asked doubtfully.Another senior member of Titan Corporation said, "No. Things aren't the same as when Mr. Lane was in charge
Yvette stood inside the office, feeling somewhat overwhelmed."Ms. Lane, is there something you wanted to discuss with me?" she asked.When Jeremiah heard call him "Mr. Lane", he felt a mix of emotions. "Yvvy, do you think I'm not as good as Xavier?" he asked.Yvette was taken aback. How was she supposed to respond to that?Seeing that Yvette wasn't speaking, Jeremiah gently said, "You saw what happened at the meeting earlier. Just speak your mind. I won't get upset. Let's just treat this as a chat between old friends."Yvette didn't want to lie.She lowered her head and slowly started to say, "Actually, I think both of you have your own strengths. For instance, you have a really good temper, while Xavier doesn't. You're also great at comforting people and not hurting others easily, whereas he's the complete opposite."As for what happened in the meeting just now, I know that Xavier has been at Titan Corporation much longer than you have. When he took over Titan Corporation, it
When Xavier received Yvette's call, he was initially taken aback. After a moment, he asked her, "Why are you asking about IM Enterprise?""Nothing much. It's just that recently, a lot of companies have fallen victim to IM Enterprise's tactics. I have no idea what their boss is like, but they seem really villainous and underhanded," Yvette said.Villainous? Underhanded?Xavier found Yvette's comment somewhat amusing. He was running a legitimate business, so how could he be considered villainous or underhanded?There were some companies, when they couldn't compete with others, resorted to giving others random nicknames.He deliberately pretended not to know and played along with Yvette. "I'm not familiar with IM Enterprise, but our company has also been somewhat affected by it.""What? Really?"Yvette was initially only slightly curious about IM Enterprise, but now she hated the company quite a bit."Yeah. Are there some issues with Titan Corporation?" Xavier asked."Titan Corpo
Yvette hadn't expected the conversation to turn out that way. She was about to ask Aaron something else when she saw Marlene and Jeana standing at the door.Jeana helped Marlene vigorously on the door.Yvette hung up the phone and got up to open the door."Why did you close the office door in broad daylight, Yvette? Are you doing something shameful?" Jeana asked unreservedly while standing next to Marlene."What do you know? I'm just worried some rude random people might barge in," Yvette remarked sarcastically. Did Jeana think Yvette was incapable of retorting back?"Yvette, are you calling me and Marlene some random people?" Jeana immediately shot back."I didn't say that, so don't take it personally," Yvette replied calmly.Jeana was about to say something, but Marlene stopped her. "Yvette, I'm here for business, not to engage in pointless chatter with you.""What's going on?""Didn't you mention in the meeting that we should steal IM Enterprise's projects? While I and the
Marlene refused to believe that Yvette could take over the project from IM Enterprise.After she finished speaking, Jackie bluntly asked a nearby secretary to write up an agreement for the matter they had just discussed. Then, she had Marlene and Yvette sign it.Marlene suddenly thought of something before signing. "Isn't this agreement a bit unfair? If Yvette wins, she becomes a manager, but if I win, she doesn't lose anything."Yvette asked, "What do you want me to do if I don't get the project?""Quit!" Marlene had long been fed up with Yvette staying at the company.Upon hearing this, Yvette immediately agreed, saying, "Okay."They added another clause to the agreement, and then both parties signed it. Jeremiah was also brought out as a witness to notarize the document.The entire CEO's office was bustling with activity today.After Marlene and the others left, Yvette took a moment to rest before starting to plan how to snatch the projects away from IM Enterprise.Yvette t
Xavier really wanted to tell the foolish Yvette that he was the boss of IM Enterprise.Unfortunately, the company wasn't mature enough yet and had quite a few competitors. If it wasn't kept under wraps, and others find out he was the person behind it, Yvette and the children could be targeted."Don't think that way. Personally, I think the boss from IM Enterprise is quite impressive," Xavier commented in support of himself.After listening to Xavier, Yvette didn't argue and simply said, "He's indeed talented, but his character is lacking."Never mind, I won't talk about it anymore. I'll just lie down for a bit."She was really quite tired today.Xavier gently held her in his arms and had her rest against him as she fell asleep.Yvette was sleeping soundly and, without realizing it, arrived at Dewberry Manor. When the car came to a stop, she opened her eyes."We've arrived.""How about sleeping a bit more so that tonight we can stay up a little later?" Xavier murmured.What di
"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
Yvette was somewhat confused by this, and so was Kiki."Wasn't there just a lot of crying and talking inside? Why did it suddenly get so quiet? Are they holding some kind of ceremony?" Kiki asked."I don't know. Let's go in and take a look."When they walked in, they finally understood the reason why it was quiet.Tristan had arrived.At that moment, he sat atop a sandalwood chair, surrounded by bodyguards all dressed in matching black uniforms.Terrence stood in front of him, sweating profusely.The others were also too scared to make a sound."Where's Yvette?" Tristan asked again.After receiving a call from Kiki, he quickly rushed over. However, when he arrived, he didn't see Kiki or Yvette.He wasn't as easygoing as Jeremiah. Right there on the spot, he had everyone surrounded and made them all line up properly, demanding everyone to clearly state who had been bullying Yvette.When confronted with the power he exuded, the crowd instantly lost their earlier arrogance, and
Most of the people present recognized Jeremiah's face, but they mistook him for Xavier."So it's the son-in-law of the Snyder family who's here." They didn't let go of Yvette but instead complained, "You're here just in time. Teach Yvette a lesson. Her mother passed away, but she refuses to wear mourning attire."Terrence saw Jeremiah approaching from a distance and immediately stopped paying attention to the relatives around him, quickly running over."Everyone, you've got it wrong. This is Xavier''s twin brother. He's currently the CEO of Titan Corporation."After speaking, he gave the group a few subtle winks.The members of the Cadwell family liked to bully the weak and feared the strong. After knowing that the person in front of them was the CEO of Titan Corporation, they all put on smiling faces."We're sorry. We mistook you for someone else."After that, they continued to insist that Yvette kneel. "Come on, Yvette, stop being stubborn and just kneel!"Jeremiah saw what w
