"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
"There's no need to investigate further, and you don't have to worry about this anymore," after saying this, Xavier ended the call.Mark was left standing alone, feeling lost and confused in the wind.Who would have thought that family members would undermine each other's interests?Moreover, it was Yvette!Xavier definitely wouldn't do anything to Yvette.Yvette returned from the balcony to the bedroom. She was already in bed, ready to sleep. The following day, she planned to announce her great achievement and give Marlene a taste of her own medicine.Xavier finished getting ready, walked in, pulled back the covers, and naturally embraced her.Yvette was very excited without him even asking anything, "Xav, I've been really happy these past couple of days."Xavier noticed it, too. He thought the happiness was due to them spending time together, but it turned out it was because she had taken over his project and was thrilled about that."What's making you so happy?" He wasn't e
It was 10:10 am.All the senior executives, along with Clifford and Shannon, were present today in the meeting room at Titan Corporation.Shannon looked around but couldn't see Yvette, so she asked Jeana, "Where's Yvette?"Jeana shook her head and said, "I'm not sure. It seems like Yvette hasn't arrived at the office yet.""How could you not know? Haven't you always been with Yvette? I asked you to look after her specifically, not for you to work here," Shannon said bluntly.Jeana felt wronged and said, "Xav and Yvette don't like me, and they've asked me not to stay at Dewberry Manor overnight. So I had to rent an apartment nearby and come look after Yvette at the company during the day."She didn't mention anything about drugging Xavier. She acted like nothing happened.Upon hearing this, Shannon stopped pushing."It's time already, where is Yvette?"It turned out that Marlene told Yvette a time that was half an hour later from the time she informed others."Did Yvette not m
The others studied the contract, and sure enough, it was exactly as expected."We really got it back.""It's not easy."Everyone praised Yvette, but they all knew that Shannon must have helped. Besides, to be honest, this client was quite average and wouldn't impact IM Enterprise.Marlene was listening from the side, with visible disdain in her eyes.She took a sip of water before speaking."Shannon, you're being so generous to Yvette. Spending five million just to win back a client really doesn't benefit Titan."As soon as Marlene finished speaking, the entire room fell silent.Shannon looked at her in disbelief, wondering how Yvette knew that she had spent five million to win the client back.Clifford was furious. "Shannon, are you really being so biased to Yvette like this? Surely you don't think that a small client like this would make Marlene give up her position to Yvette, do you?"Before the meeting started, Clifford overheard Marlene secretly talking about Shannon che
Yvette believed that anyone would understand the importance of this contract for both IM and Titan."Isn't that the piece of land in the city? That's the one IM Enterprise signed shortly after they came to Tirion!"This land was not acquired by IM's aggressive means.Yvette never considered taking back the project that IM had taken over.Most people knew that things were never quite the same once someone had been taken away, even if they managed to win them back. So, instead of going through all that trouble, it was better to just go ahead and snatch someone who already belonged to someone else."So it's really the land in the city! Did Ms. Snyder actually sign for that piece of land?""How is this possible? How would IM actually allow this?""Do the people at IM Enterprise know about it?"The big shots who were just looking down on Yvette now couldn't wait to look through the new contract, filled with excitement.At that moment, everyone present had a change of opinion abou
This day, Shannon and Yvette were united against a common foe.Marlene's face turned red with embarrassment after Shannon made a comment, and she seemed completely thrown off."After all, I had the experience of working as a general manager of the sales department—"Shannon snapped back before she even finished speaking, "Then why did it become the manager of Division Five of the sales department?"Marlene was at a loss for words."Power without virtue leads to downfall, Marlene. I think you're the one who should start from the ground up. Everyone knows that both Xav and Jerry took on big responsibilities as soon as they joined the company."Sometimes, you must admit that some people are naturally more capable and don't need to work their way up from the bottom. While others are only suited for the bottom rung."What Shannon said made Marlene feel even more embarrassed.She could only look to Clifford for help.However, Clifford couldn't really offer her much help now, "Marlen
Xavier's proud expression made Mark even more convinced that Xavier was completely in a romantic state of mind.Getting off work in the evening, Xavier was eagerly looking forward to meeting Yvette, but as he was heading out, he accidentally bumped into a chair.Mark quickly pulled the chair away."I'm sorry. A guest must have sat there earlier, and I forgot to put it back."Xavier wasn't angry. He suddenly recalled what Tristan had said.He needed to have surgery as soon as possible. Any delay would result in the glass fragments in his brain being harder to remove, and even if they are removed, it will be very difficult to restore his vision.Whenever he thought about never being able to see again, his mood would sink."It's alright, let's go.""Okay."...At the Titan Corporation, Yvette and others were outside when they saw Xavier's car. She then walked over and got into his car."I'm here. What do you feel like eating today?"Xavier could only hear her joyful voice but
Yvette couldn’t be bothered with Xavier anymore and started focusing on eating her risotto.The baby was over four months old, and unlike the first three months after giving birth, her appetite had dramatically increased. She seems to enjoy everything she eats.She let Noah know in advance that they would be eating out today.After eating and drinking their fill, she and Xavier finally headed home.When Yvette was at home spending time with the kids, Xavier made a decision and went outside to call Tristan."Please schedule a surgery for me.""Have you made up your mind?" Tristan asked."Yeah.""Did you tell Yvette?" Tristan couldn't help but ask.It was best to keep Yvette informed about such things."No, don't tell anyone. We'll undergo the surgery privately," said Xavier.Tristan heard this and was a bit worried. "Isn't this a bit risky? What if something goes wrong?""I'll take care of the arrangements for Yvette and the kids. You don't need to worry about it," Xavier to
"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
