"Yvette, let me give you some advice. Someone who doesn't love you will never love you. Whether you pretend to be deaf and mute or claim to have lost your memory, Xav will never like you." Yvette listened calmly. Her eyes showed no emotion. "Are you done talking?" Daphne looked at her in surprise. Yvette stood up and looked at her. "Since you're so sure he loves you, then why do you feel the need to come at me like a resentful woman?" With a cold laugh, she turned and left. Watching her disappear, Daphne was reminded of the once-arrogant daughter of the Snyder family. She felt disgusted when she remembered how she had had to please Yvette in order to get the Snyders' support. Now that the Snyder family was ruined, what right did Yvette have to remain so arrogant? Daphne took a deep breath. Just then, Kelly called her. "Daph, the song you wanted is finally available.""Really?" "But…" Kelly hesitated. "What's wrong? Tell me," Daphne said. "Ms. Cameron has a so
"How come I've never seen him?" Zachary spoke up. "Mr. Septer is a mysterious person. He won't appear unless Mom is in danger." "No wonder. When we were abroad, I only heard you had a bodyguard, but I never saw him," Kiki added. She had her own bodyguards, but they were always in plain sight. They were easy to spot. Because of Claude's special status abroad, everyone around him was affected. So, he had people protecting Yvette and her family. Ten minutes later, Ray appeared at the door. He wore a suit and exuded an aura that kept people at a distance. Kiki's eyes lit up. "What a handsome guy…" Zachary handed her a tissue. "Wipe your mouth."Kiki gulped. Yvette knew her best friend very well. Although Kiki was acting like a hopeless romantic, deep down, she held someone special in her heart. For that man, Kiki had forsaken dating and marriage, even though she was already 27 years old."Come in. This is my friend, Kiki. There's no one else here," Yvette said. Upon heari
Zachary wanted to relieve Yvette from the burden of having to take care of him and Noah all the time. Although Claude was nice, his surroundings were too dangerous. Zachary hoped Yvette could be with a man who could keep her safe. Kiki hadn't expected Zachary to have such thoughts. She added, "Although my dad wants me to get married for the sake of business, the rich guys he introduces me to are usually good-looking."Yvette felt helpless against the two of them. "All right, but…" She looked at Zachary. "I'm just going on this blind date in place of Kiki, not to find you a dad." Zachary didn't mind at all. "I understand." He thought about the romantic dramas on TV. Love often came unexpectedly. And such coincidences were the easiest way for love to spark. He and Noah were too young to protect Yvette. So, if they could find a man to take care of her during their time back home, it would be perfect. Yvette had no idea about Zachary's thoughts. That night, after putting Z
The next day, Yvette saw Kiki off at 5:00 am. Before leaving, Kiki was particularly nervous. "Yvvy, do I look okay today?"Kiki was naturally good-looking. she had almond-shaped eyes, an oval face, and a gentle yet charming demeanor. "You look great.""That's good to hear. You know, the thought of seeing him makes me very nervous and excited. I'm afraid that he won't like me…""There's no chance," Yvette reassured Kiki. "My best friend is so beautiful. There's no way he would dislike you."Kiki nodded. After seeing her off, Yvette returned to her bedroom. "Mom." Zachary had woken up at some point."Did we wake you?" she asked, walking over and crouching down. After all, Kiki had started getting ready around 3:00 am or 4:00 am.Instead of answering, he asked, "Mom, is Mr. Cook, the one Kiki is going to meet, a nice person?"Yvette pondered for a moment before responding, "Yeah, to Kiki, he's a very nice person."She remembered seeing Leonard back in college. He had been
"That woman earlier, Ms. Lopez, was it? She was as fat as a pig. I can't believe she had the guts to come on a blind date.""She looked like a dinosaur. It felt like the whole building was about to collapse when she walked.""And then there was Ms. Shelton, with her bright red lipstick; she looked like a ghost…""So, who's next?""I think it's the heiress of the Torres family. I heard she just returned after studying abroad…""Oh? She must be very open-minded and wild, then.""Let's ask her to dance for us later. If she does a good job, she might just make the cut!" The man burst out laughing. The men's foul words made Yvette frown. She understood why those well-mannered women had left so angrily after their blind dates. This guy wasn't here for a serious blind date; he had just brought his friends here to have fun. Yvette was glad that Kiki hadn't come. Knowing her, she would've been upset for quite some time. The receptionist led Yvette inside. The restaurant was usuall
His eyes widened in disbelief when he met Yvette's clear and indignant gaze. She didn't just look like Yvette Snyder; she was Yvette Snyder! Tristan had no idea why she was here for the blind date. Before he could come to his senses, Yvette told Ray, "Let's go." Ray then escorted her out of the room.The man who had been kicked to the ground, Ethan Zamora, was still cursing, "Don't you dare run away! I won't forget the two of you. Just you wait!"The other young men mocked him. "You're such a coward, Mr. Zamora. Why didn't you fight back?""Exactly, stop yapping!"Ethan had wanted to take a swing at Ray as well, but he hadn't even been able to stand up after Ray had kicked him earlier. He had been pampered all his life and had never been humiliated like this before. Scrambling to his feet, he cursed under his breath, "I'll round up my men and send them to those two doom right—" Before he could finish his threat, Tristan walked up to him and looked at him coldly. "What did y
Meanwhile, in the CEO's office on the top floor of Titan Corporation's headquarters, Xavier had already received word from his bodyguard that Yvette had gone to Plate & Palette that morning. "What was she doing at Plate & Palette?" As far as he knew, Plate & Palette was a place where spoiled rich kids indulged in debauchery, a place that was quite dirty. His bodyguard hesitated for a moment before responding, "It seemed like she had attended a blind date." Xavier's eyes narrowed, and the atmosphere around him grew tense. So, when she had said that she had something to do, she had meant going on a blind date? Once again, Yvette had surprised him.Xavier's expression darkened in an instant. The bodyguard knew Xavier's temper all too well and cautiously left the office. …There was a knock on the door to his office at 2:00 pm."Mr. Lane." As soon as she walked in, Yvette could tell something was off about Xavier. He lifted his gaze and looked at her apathetically. His eyes were
Xavier was truly ruthless. Yvette pressed her lips together, unable to feel the pain in her palms anymore. Snyder Group had suffered losses at Terrence's hands, but at least it had still been around. But now, even the last thing James had left her was gone.Yvette was well aware that Xavier was doing all of this to get back at her. Staring at the land that had become a wasteland, her throat ached, and she almost burst into tears. "This is the perfect example of survival of the fittest. You're the CEO of Lane Group; of course you have the final say in everything." She didn't realize her voice had gone hoarse.Xavier couldn't believe that even now, she would still refuse to admit she hadn't lost her memory. He had expected her to question him, to cry, and to kick up a fuss when she witnessed the scene before her, but she had done none of those things. Her eyes used to light up when she looked at him, but now they were as calm as the ocean. His heart ached, and he pinched he
