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
"Mom, is there something up?" Yvette asked, a bit puzzled after receiving a call from Shannon.Shannon, annoyed, said, "Who told you to make a bet with Marlene simply? Do you realize how many years she's been with the company compared to you? You don't know Titan at all, nor do you know IM Enterprise.""Do you know that a few days from now, Marlene plans to bring both your grandfather and me to the company to embarrass you in public?"Shannon may not be fond of Yvette, but she clearly distinguished between those who were part of her family and those who were not.Yvette was, after all, her own daughter-in-law, so of course, she wouldn't still allow Marlene to bully Yvette."I didn't know that," Yvette said. It was from Shannon that she found out Marlene had also approached Clifford and Shannon. One reason might have been to prevent her from backing out, and the other was likely to humiliate her in front of the Lane family members.Shannon listened and felt even more disdainful to
"Yvvy, I've already sued Lawrence," Terrence eagerly announced over the phone as if seeking approval.Yvette had never forgotten about this matter.Previously, she wanted to personally sue the Yandell family to recover all the money for the Snyders.However, she wasn't the biological daughter of the Snyder family. If the Yandell family found out about this, the will she had in hand could be deemed invalid.After all, James always believed that Yvette was his biological daughter during his lifetime.“It's good that a lawsuit has been filed. I'll provide you with some evidence, and you'll have to take care of what's left,” said Yvette.What she could do now was repay James for raising her and help Terrence reclaim what was rightfully his."Okay, Yvvy, you're such a nice person."Terrence was genuinely surprised at how mature Yvette had become. Not only was she willing to allow him to file a lawsuit, but she also agreed to give him the money and now even wanted to provide him with
When Jeana found out, she clicked her tongue and said, "How shameless. She's already divorced from Xav and yet is still sleeping together."Yvette heard murmuring outside and got up to check it out. She saw Jeana and a few maids badmouthing her.She was speechless. What could Xavier possibly do to her in his current state?"You don't like me sleeping with Xavier. How about you take my place?" Yvette stood upstairs and spoke loudly.Upon hearing this, Jeana's expression shifted immediately.If she were to sleep next to Xavier, she definitely wouldn't live to see the sunrise tomorrow."I'm not like you. I'm not married to Xav yet, so nothing will happen between us," Jeana said with feigned innocence.Yvette laughed. "Then, after you marry him, would you dare to share a bed with him and have something happen?"Jeana was at a loss for words once again. She stopped talking, went back to her room, and slammed the door shut.She couldn't wait to hear Yvette's screams tonight.During
Kiki sat beside him and asked, "What exactly happened? Why was Mr. Shaw Senior so angry a couple of days ago, and what's going on with Xavier?""Just know that while I'm not a saint, I'm not a terribly wicked person either. But Jeremiah is a wolf in sheep's clothing, so make sure Yvette stays cautious," Tristan advised.Kiki rolled her eyes at him."As far as I know, Jeremiah has always been kind to Yvvy. When they were young, he often helped her and stood up for her when she was bullied. But you, when she just married Xavier, you were the one who bullied her the most!"Tristan was momentarily at a loss for words.That was because Kiki was right in pointing out that Tristan used to frequently bully Yvette.Yvette's hearing had worsened in both ears, and she currently relied on hearing aids until now.Tristan was filled with regret, and he understood that he could never make things right with Yvette. He had been researching ways to treat mild hearing loss but hadn't made much pro
Yvette shook her head and said, "Not yet. His condition is still very unstable. Once Dad's health improves, I'll take you and Zachary to see him."Noah nodded obediently and said, "Alright. Go ahead. Ms. Wendy and Lily are at home. I'll be good.""Okay."Yvette listened to what Noah said and felt genuinely gratified. She was really thankful to have two such thoughtful children at such a young age.After soothing Noah, Yvette had the driver drive to the manor.She had just arrived and saw the nurses and doctor forcibly administering an injection to Xavier."What kind of injection is this?" Yvette immediately stepped forward."It's a sedative," Nathaniel replied with a stern expression. "Mr. Lane lost control again earlier and started hitting people."Yvette frowned. "Didn't I tell you? If he has an episode, just call me, and I'll come over right away."Nathaniel feigned a helpless look at Yvette. "That won't do. When Mr. Lane gets violent, he doesn't hold back at all. If we don
Yvette immediately understood what Jacqueline meant. "Thank you so much. I'll cover all your losses personally.""You don't have to. Just continue working with me when you're in charge in the future."Jacqueline realized that Yvette was genuinely kind-hearted. In their collaboration, she found that she got a fair deal and even made more profit compared to working with others."Okay." Yvette didn't exchange any more pleasantries with her after that.Today's parent meeting had unexpectedly helped Yvette solve a big problem.She finally breathed a sigh of relief. She could now take a proper rest.First, she took care of Noah, and then she planned to go to the manor to visit Xavier.At home, Noah had already learned from Zachary's investigation that the manor was private property belonging to Jeremiah."Zac, I feel like it's not really a good thing for Mom, but if she wants to be with Jeremiah, I'll support her."Noah rested his head on his hand and said, "But Jeremiah is already
Anne, thinking about her child at home, said, "I need to go back and check on my kid too."As the three people got ready to leave, Elena hesitated and stayed behind.Once they left, a few of the other moms also decided to leave.The remaining people seemed to want to get on Marlene's good side.Marlene also knew of this and told them, "Zayden will be returning to the main headquarters of Titan Corporation very soon.""Really? To what position?" Mia asked.Marlene smiled and said, "It has to be a high-ranking position.""Congratulations are definitely in order. Once Mr. Zayden returns to work at the headquarters, could you possibly help make some introductions?" Mia tentatively suggested.Elena made a point to remember everything that happened here so she could tell Yvette all about it.Elena felt that even if Yvette and Xavier were divorced, Yvette's life wouldn't be any worse than Marlene'sShe was determined to become friends with Yvette again, and she believed she was maki
Upon learning of the situation, Jeremiah instructed Nathaniel to keep a close watch on Xavier's every move, especially when he was with Yvette.Nathaniel said, "Yvette also wants Mr. Xavier to be able to go out for walks."Jeremiah paused before replying, "As long as he doesn't leave the manor, he can go for a walk."Yvette could look at Xavier at any moment, and Jeremiah didn't want Yvette to have a negative impression of him."Understood."…As the end of the month approached at Titan Corporation, those with the lowest sales would be fired.Division Five had been performing well, but unfortunately, there were issues with the accounts. If the upper management or shareholders found out, it could become a significant problem.At that time, it was likely that Division Five, who were suspected of fraud, would be fired.Yvette had already arranged for someone to look into this matter, focusing on who has been in close contact with Marlene or Division One recently.However, there
Jeana stopped talking after that. If Shannon were to see hers hurting Xavier, not only would the idea of them getting married be out of the question, but she would definitely be kicked out.Yvette couldn't be bothered to continue the conversation and said, "In the future, be more careful. If it happens again, it won't just end with a slap."She returned to her room to continue resting.The next day, when morning came, Xavier was still asleep.The doctor came to give him a medical check-up.The doctor said, "Most of Mr. Lane's physical injuries have healed, but the brain damage is something that won't recover in this lifetime."Yvette listened with a worried expression on her face.Before, it was just that Xavier couldn't see. Now, he had turned into a fool.Although he was once a favored and exceptionally talented person, his current life of his was incredibly difficult.Nathaniel escorted the doctor out, leaving only Yvette and Xavier in the room. Yvette was about to go to w
Yvette quietly peeked through the crack in the door and saw that Xavier was still lying in bed. His eyes were still closed.He hadn't woken up at all. He must have been having a nightmare just now.Yvette finally felt relieved enough to go back in and tucked the covers back around him, teasing him as she did so, "Look at you in your current state, yet you've got beautiful women eager to marry you. You're really lucky."After finishing speaking, she thought it was getting late and decided to go back to her room to rest.Suddenly, Xavier's large hand grasped her wrist tightly.Yvette's pupils constricted. She thought Xavier had woken up, so she immediately called out to him. "Xavier..."Xavier, however, let go of her.Yvette's eyes were filled with disappointment as she gently placed his hand down."I'll see you again tomorrow."Yvette then went back to her room to sleep.In the early hours of the morning, the sky was exceptionally dark. Yvette was a light sleeper and had a vag
"It's so late. It can't be good, right?" Nathaniel said, standing in front of Yvette.Yvette asked, puzzled, "What's not good?""I'm just concerned about your safety," Nathaniel explained.Yvette stepped past him and said, "Don't worry, I'll take care of myself."She quickly walked toward Xavier's room.Nathaniel assumed that Xavier would not wake up now, so he didn't stop her again.In the spacious bedroom, Xavier lay quietly on the bed with his eyes tightly shut. He didn't appear to be sleeping normally.Yvette closed the door before walking to his side."Xavier," she called out.The person on the bed showed no signs of movement.Yvette sat beside him on the bed and pulled the covers aside a little to look at him, only to discover that he was covered in injuries.It looked like he was hit with a stick, leaving bruises all over. It seemed really painful.Yvette looked around, found a medical kit, picked it up, and began to tend to his wounds.What she didn't know was that
