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
Mark understood what Xavier implied. "Are you going to inform Mrs. Lane?""She can't find out about this." Xavier didn't want Yvette to worry.Moreover, if he truly were to become foolish, he hoped that Yvette wouldn't bother with him anymore. Given his current mindset, he couldn't accept the idea of being a useless man who needed to be taken care of by a woman."Yes, sir," Mark said.…In Titan Corporation, Yvette had just taken over the managerial position in Division Five of the sales department. Even before she arrived, the entire team in Division Five was buzzing with gossip."I really didn't expect everything she said to come true!""So what if it did? A new leader usually starts off with big changes, but she's no different from Marlene.""I don't think so. She and Marlene seem like completely different types of people."Everyone was arguing endlessly.The sales department predominantly consisted of men and had fewer women. Most of the team believed that Yvette was simi
At first, Yvette thought Xavier was joking with her. That was until bedtime when Xavier brought her some documents to look at."Read it out loud to me," Xavier instructed.Yvette asked in disbelief, "What's going on with you? I'm going to sleep.""I've forgotten a lot of things from the past and need to catch up quickly. Can you read it to me?" Xavier was concerned about pushing her too hard, so he decided to try a different approach.Yvette had no choice but to read it aloud to him. As she continued reading, she gradually became so sleepy that she fell asleep.Xavier took the document from her hand and then hugged her tightly.In the days that followed, Xavier acted like a teacher, constantly pushing Yvette to learn how to manage employees and negotiate business deals. He tried to quickly equip Yvette with the skills for success.Yvette wasn't very focused on studying the materials initially, but one day when she returned to the office, she saw that Marlene had also shown up to
Noah really missed Zachary right now. Although Noah had the ability to discern whether others were good or bad, he really wasn't good at studying.Even when the multiplication numbers got too large, he could only count them on his fingers. But if Zachary were here, he would have calculated it by now.Wendy stood to the side, feeling upset. The adorable Noah was about to be overwhelmed by his schoolwork at such a young age. The parenting style nowadays was too terrifying!Yvette watched as Noah scratched his head, and she felt an urge to go over and help him.She hadn't taken more than two steps when Xavier cleared his throat and asked, "Yvvy, have you finished your task?"Yvette had no choice but to go back, sit down, and deal with her own tasks.She was genuinely surprised by how strict Xavier was. She felt just like being in school again."Not yet. I-I'm still thinking about it," Yvette stammered.Xavier acknowledged her with a hum and went back to focusing on his work.Sinc
The risk of this surgery was extremely high, and Tristan couldn't guarantee complete success. If anything happened to Xavier, he would feel even more guilty toward Yvette.Moreover, he and Xavier had been good friends since childhood."If I don't have the surgery, can you guarantee I can continue living like this? Could I live normally?" Xavier asked.Tristan immediately fell silent upon hearing this. He certainly couldn't guarantee it, especially since Xavier had experienced memory lapses not long ago.If Xavier didn't get the fragments removed from his brain, he might be in danger at any time. They were just uncertain when this danger might occur."Instead of worrying about the unknown, it's better to take the chance," Xavier added.Tristan nodded. "Yeah.""If anything happens to me, you'll take care of Yvette and the kids for me, right?" Xavier asked."Of course I will!" Tristan answered without hesitation.He was not only willing to take care of Yvette and her children but
Xavier acted extremely responsible and didn't allow Yvette and Noah to take a break the entire weekend.At night, Noah dreamed about when his bastard father taught him his homework.He whimpered and talked in his sleep, "I'll study hard. Don't be mad. Don't get angry…"As Xavier passed by his room, he couldn't help but walk in.He reached out and touched Noah's arm, and Noah quickly woke up. In the dim light, he saw Xavier. Noah looked as if he had seen a ghost and was terrified."Stinky Dad, I'm really tired. Can we continue with the homework tomorrow?" Noah pleaded.Xavier listened to his soft voice and felt somewhat heartbroken for Noah. He said, "Doing homework isn't the most important thing. What's important is learning how to handle problems. Your health isn't great, but you can't allow that to make you fall behind others, especially if you want to take care of your mom. "From now on, try to learn on your own. Don't make your health an excuse to lag behind, okay?"Noah
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
