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
Malcolm followed through on his promise and called Clifford as soon as he picked up his personal watch. "Great-Grandpa, they're all picking on me."When Clifford heard that Malcolm was being bullied at school, he immediately headed over.After he arrived at school, Malcolm told him that Zachary had forbidden the other kids from playing with him."Why is Zac acting like such a child?" Clifford fumed.Malcolm looked upset as he said, "Great-Grandpa, when can I see my parents? I miss them. Without them, others keep picking on me."Clifford felt sorry for Malcolm."Your parents made a mistake, so from now on, I will take care of you. Who would dare to bully you? I'll call Zac over to apologize to you!" Clifford promised.After that, Zachary was quickly called to the office.Clifford saw him approaching and couldn't help but scold him. "You've already grown up. How can you bully Malcolm? You two are brothers!"Zachary could immediately tell that it was Malcolm falsely accusing him
Jeana nodded repeatedly, saying, "Yes."In this world, no one was more afraid of Jeremiah than Jeana. When she first met Jeremiah as a child, she wasn't scared of him at all and would often tease him in various ways.Because Jeremiah was seriously ill and in poor health, he had to spend most of his time in a dimly lit room.Jeana wasn't fond of her sickly cousin, and for a while, she would secretly follow Jeremiah and even throw stones at him.Even when Jeremiah got his head smashed open by her, he didn't get angry.Jeana then became even bolder with her actions.Then one rainy night, Jeana noticed Jeremiah sneaking back inside and was soaked from the rain. She smugly taunted, "Well, well, where have you been? I'm going to tell Grandpa Lane that you snuck out."But she hadn't taken many steps yet when Jeremiah suddenly approached her.Jeana still remembers the way Jeremiah looked at her—it was cold and terrifying as if he was a demon that had escaped from hell.Jeremiah grabbe
Zachary stood with his arms crossed over his chest and had a calm look in his eyes.On the other hand, Malcolm was shocked. He was wondering why Archibald was always supporting Zac. He became increasingly jealous in his heart.Marlene followed Yvette over and, upon seeing the situation, assumed her son was being bullied. "Malcolm, did Zachary bully you again?"She pushed Yvette aside and rushed in.Yvette was at a loss for words. What did she mean by saying that Zachary bullied him again? Did she figure out what had happened?Archibald and Clifford then realized that the mothers of both children had arrived."Why are you all here?" Clifford asked.Marlene hesitated and didn't answer because she was the one following Yvette.Yvette didn't answer either but instead asked, "Grandpa Lane, Mr. Shaw Senior, what exactly happened here?"Archibald explained to Yvette about Malcolm's complaint, saying, "The other kids mentioned they didn't want to play with him because he likes to hit
Archibald got angry every time he thought about the fact that Clifford said Zachary wasn't Archibald's great-grandson.Kiki was surprised at how the conversation ended up discussing the topic of having great-grandchildren again.Meanwhile, Archibald had been coughing nonstop.Kiki quickly gave him a pat on the back, and soon Tristan came over as well."Honestly, you're not feeling well, and yet you still insist on coming out. Can't you just call me if there's anything?" Tristan asked with resignation.Archibald's coughing became more severe at that.Kiki glared at Tristan. "Can you talk less? Mr. Shaw Senior is already coughing like this. How can you be so heartless?"After she was done speaking, she comforted Archibald, "Mr. Shaw Senior, please don't be upset. It's my fault, along with Tristan. Besides a great-grandchild, is there anything else you would like? We'll do our best to make it happen. After all, didn't we agree that we would date first and then get married?"Archib
People like Zoey lacked the basic humanity. If Yara hadn't treated her well, cutting off their mother-daughter relationship would at least be somewhat understandable.But Yara's kindness toward her had been absolutely unconditional.Still, Zoey accepted the more powerful Gemma as her mother.Yvette didn't want to say much to her. "Weren't you the one who told me that blood ties can never be changed and that you have Yara's blood running through your veins?"Zoey was extremely upset when Yvette used Zoey's own words against her."Regardless of the situation, you need to tell Yara to drop the lawsuit! She doesn't have much time left, and if she's willing to drop it, my dad promises to take care of her affairs after she's gone," Zoey said.It seemed their entire family was ungrateful and heartless.Yvette didn't feel sympathy for Yara either and simply said, "Do whatever you want."She then hung up the phone right away.…Meanwhile, at Yandell Mansion, Lawrence couldn't help but
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
