All the salespeople under Marlene were now at Yvette's disposal.Before handing things over to Yvette, Marlene held a meeting with the sales team leaders. "You are just temporarily lending her a hand, and you don't have to treat her as a boss. She's just a secretary, got it?"The team leader of the sales department naturally would heed Marlene's orders."Yes, Ms. Larson. We definitely won't listen to her.""You can't completely ignore her. Do you know what 'slacking off' means?" Marlene suggested with a smile.Yvette wanted to take over Marlene's position, but she was clearly overestimating her capabilities. Wasn't it just about being an experienced veteran in the office?"Understood."The team leaders were certainly willing to laze around every day, but they also had concerns. "Ms. Larson, how long are we supposed to stick with her? After all, we have responsibilities to our families. If we don't focus on producing results, our monthly salary won't be enough."Marlene suddenl
"Don't you want to continue to avoid work? You don't want to loaf around?" Yvette asked. She was referring to everyone's work attitude earlier.The people who were previously arguing against Yvette had now lost their confidence."Making money is for myself. I now promise that within ten days, I will become manager of Division Five. If you want to earn money this month, then work hard. I don't need any help from you. Just do your own job well, and don't cause any trouble for me," Yvette declared.Yvette left once she was done with her speech, leaving the group of team members standing there in shock.Did Yvette not care about them? Did she not need their help? And what was that boast about becoming their manager within ten days? Was it possible for her to get the position through connections again?The sales members in Division Five were lost in their own thoughts.Yvette didn't bother anymore with them. After staying in the office for a few hours, she left work.Jeana saw her
While Zachary was still at a loss for words, Yvette had already stood up with satisfaction."Kiki, I need to trouble you to look after Noah again today," said Yvette.Kiki was puzzled. "You mentioned on the phone that you have something important to take care of. What exactly is it? You're being so secretive.""It's just work that needs to be done over the weekend," Yvette responded. She didn't want to get into the specifics with Kiki.Although Kiki was still curious, she didn't ask more questions. "You're pregnant now, so you need to be more careful about work and other matters," she advised.Yvette nodded repeatedly and said, "I understand."She then said to Noah, "Noah, I'm taking you and Zac out to play today, so make sure you behave, okay?"Noah was a bit confused as to why Yvette chose to have him go out instead of staying at home. If they stayed at home, wouldn't that mean that they didn't have to bother Kiki?Yvette was actually thinking that if she kept Noah at home, J
"What is this thing?" Wendy pondered.There were quite a few maids at home, and Xavier had a bit of a cleanliness obsession, so there shouldn't be any dust on the floor. How could there be white powder where the water jug was?Wendy took a cloth, carefully wiped the powder clean, and then casually tossed it into the trash can.Meanwhile, Jeana had already handed the water over to Xavier. "Xav, have some warm water."Xavier picked up the water cup and drank a few sips without giving it much thought.Jeana watched him drink the water, and her heart began to race.When Xavier had almost finished his drink, she immediately took the cup and said, "I'll go rinse this cup. If you want more water, just ask me to get it for you."Jeana knew there was evidence left behind in the cup, so she quickly went to the sink and washed it thoroughly to ensure there was no trace left behind.Wendy kept watching her from a distance. She thought that Jeana was acting particularly odd today, as she wo
Jeana dressed lightly and collapsed to the ground, looking exceptionally disheveled, but she continued to cling to Xavier's leg."Xav, do you not like me at all?"Wendy and the other maids all heard what Jeana said.Wendy finally realized that Jeana was the cunning person she needed to keep an eye on.Xavier had never kicked a woman before, but this time, he made an exception and kicked her aside forcefully, shouting, "Get out!"With that, he told the onlookers at the door, "Call Dr. Ingham and have him come over."As time went by, he realized that someone had tampered with things....The inside of Dewberry Manor was a complete mess.Yvette was out finalizing a contract with the landowner, "Is it true that IM Enterprise will breach the contract?"IM Enterprise has just acquired many companies and is competing for numerous projects. How could they possibly have extra funds to invest in building landmark structures?" Yvette said with unwavering confidence. "I work for Titan
"Mrs. Lane," said Hector.Yvette thought, "Why was Dr. Ingham here, too?"Yvette felt a bit anxious, wondering if Xavier had lost his memory again.She nodded at Hector and then quickly went inside the house.The housekeeper and Wendy Jennings stood inside. Xavier was sitting on the couch, while Jeana was on the floor in a thin, disheveled state.In front of her was a pile of dust that Wendy had collected while cleaning the water dispenser surface.Jeana saw Yvette approaching and broke down in tears, pleading, "Yvette, please let me and Xav be together."This left Yvette completely stunned!She thought, "What the heck?"Even though the both of you are not blood-related I'm his wife. Who the fuck do you think you are?"Wendy and the housekeepers were also stunned.Jeana crawled towards Yvette on her knees. "Yvette, I've had a crush on Xav since I was young. I really like him a lot. You wouldn't understand this kind of love."I know that you and Xav are only bound by familia
Jeana's forehead was bleeding from the impact, and she collapsed to the ground."I don't want to leave this place."She didn't want to leave.If she left now, she won't get anything.Yvette never expected Jeana to be so hard on herself. However, people who were tough on themselves tended to be even tougher on others.The bodyguard seemed a bit at a loss and said, "Mr. Lane, Ms. Churchill is injured.""Then take her to the hospital," Xavier said coldly.He didn't want anyone to get hurt, which was why he hadn't sent Jeana away."Yes."A few bodyguards went forward and escorted Jeana out.As they traveled, Jeana kept complaining, "I like you so much, I don't want to leave Dewberry Manor."Only when the sound faded away did it become quiet here.Yvette found a place to sit down and asked Xavier, "Are you okay? Do you need to see a doctor?"After all, Jeana gave him a pill, and it would be problematic if something went wrong."No need, I've already seen Dr. Ingham, and ther
Yvette looked at Jeana's pitiful appearance, but her eyes were filled with indifference."Jeana, am I the one who's out of my mind, or is it you? You wanted to sleep with my husband, and you are now expecting me to help you?"Jeana sobbed and said, "But I genuinely like him."Yvette laughed sarcastically and said, "Are you implying that I don't like Xavier? Besides, you might like Xavier, but he doesn't like you. Why would you wanna force him to like you?"Jeana clenched her palm slightly."I—"Yvette was too busy to deal with her right now, "I have to get back to work. Don't stand here and get in my way if you have nothing else."Jeana realized Yvette couldn't help her, so she lost her pleasant demeanor."You are so insensitive. I hope you get kicked out of the company soon, and don't come begging me when it happens."She finished speaking and left, slamming the door behind her.Yvette thought this person was not only annoying but also insane.That was so sick of Jeana!Yv
"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
