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
Yara was completely taken aback when she saw the person at the door."Are you Xavier?"The person at the door looked exactly like Xavier, but his expression was much gentler.Behind him was Terrence, who stuck his head out and said, "Mom, this is Mr. Jeremiah, not Xavier."It was Jeremiah.The two people look so much alike. It was no wonder Yvette previously mistook one for the other.Yara immediately sat up straight and said, "Mr. Lane, I'm sorry, I mistook you for your brother."Georgia noticed the dignified man at the door and sensed that he had an unusual status, which made her curious about his relationship with Yara.Jeremiah came across as a true gentleman, someone who was poised and unattainable, like a flower on a high mountain untouched by dust. Georgia didn't even dare to look him in the eye.He then walked in, followed by Terrence. While Terrence was also fairly good-looking, he didn't have Jeremiah's reserved charm; at first glance, he looked more like a spoiled r
"Have you told anyone about this besides me?" Jeremiah asked.Yara thought for a moment, "I only told Georgia and Yvette. Georgia is a good person. She is not a gossiper."Jeremiah nodded."Mr. Lane, I now understand who truly cares about me, and I really regret it," Yara said softly.Jeremiah showed no sympathy towards her, "I remember when we were kids, Yvette often used to tell me that she wished her mom would be happy, but she just didn't know how to make it happen."Yara listened to those words, feeling as if her throat had been slashed with a knife."I'm not a responsible mother.""If you had been a little kinder to her when she was a child, she might not have spent her life feeling inferior, constantly pushed around, and she might have had her own life much earlier," said Jeremiah, with a calm expression in his eyes. "How could Yvette be happy if even her mother doesn't love her and constantly belittles her?"Yara's gaunt hands gripped the bedsheet tightly, trembling s
"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
