Xavier had long since heard the commotion outside. But Yvette got exposed previously, causing him to be humiliated too, not to mention that she was now useless to him. So, he made up his mind to ignore her. If it were not for the fact that divorcing her now would appear to be adding insult to injury, easily turning him into a target of ire, he would never let her continue to hold the title of "Mrs. Seymour" so arrogantly up until now.True, he could ignore Yvette now, but Lana was his only daughter. The moment he heard that something was wrong with her, he could not sit still any longer. He carefully extinguished the flame of the cigar and set it aside before leaving his office.It was chaos out here.Folders and A4 papers were scattered all over the floor. There was even some earthy soil nearby, as well as a flower pot so broken that one could not tell what it used to look like.With a bang, another flower pot smashed right at Xavier's feet, the soft, damp soil covering his polish
"Help! Someone help!"Xavier's office was not that big, and it was not furnished with soundproofing equipment. So, Yvette's howls could be clearly heard by the others outside.Ian did not expect to come back to this after stepping out for a few minutes. Everyone in the office was staring at each other, at a complete loss of what to do."If this goes on, Mr. Seymour may really beat his wife to death …""Should we try to break it up? It's not good if someone dies.""If you want to break it up, go right ahead! At any rate, I won't be the one doing it!"…After a discussion, the job of breaking up the fight between Xavier and Yvette fell on Ian's head as he was the most trusted subordinate of their boss."It's up to you now, Mr. Price!""You can do it, Ian, we believe in you!"…Although Ian was not willing to risk having Xavier's rage directed at him, his fear grew stronger when Yvette's howls grew weaker.The security sent by the management arrived late, and when they saw the
Yvette having her pictures taken secretly while in such a state would definitely cause a huge commotion when news of it got out.But Ian had no one else with him right now, and Yvette was not in a good state either. So, after deliberating for a few seconds, he still decided to send her to the hospital first.While he started the car, Ian called Xavier and told him about what happened. Xavier was quiet for a moment before saying, "I got it. I will have someone deal with it."…Yvette did not wake up even after reaching the hospital. Ian was anxious, and he got the doctor to check her over properly. When the results came out, he was very panicked. Yvette had many fractures all over her whole body, and there was a dent in the back of her head. Her spleen had also ruptured from all the kicking.Stone-faced, the doctor asked sternly and sharply, "You did this to her?"Ian waved his hands quickly. "No, no! I just brought her here. I have no idea how she got hurt like this either!"The
"The E.R. said that they called the police when they brought her here, but they didn't say how she got hurt …""She must have been beaten up by someone. Otherwise, how do you explain her injuries?!""Don't celebrities have agents, bodyguards, and stuff? Normal people wouldn't be able to get close to them, so how the hell did someone even beat her up?""That's for celebs who are popular now! For a washed-up one like Yvette, what agent would care about her, especially with the huge scandal that got exposed so recently?"Larissa was originally listening to the gossip as a way to relieve her boredom, but when the name "Yvette" popped out of a nurse's mouth, she froze at once. Once she had connected the previous dialogues to this, she was very surprised.Yvette was … beaten up by someone? But … who would do that?Like Larissa, Gary's attention was also drawn by the nurses' conversation. He slowed down until he decided to just stop walking.There were only two nurses who were in charg
Lewis had come to the hospital early, spending nearly half an hour reporting to Gary about work-related things. Then he stayed here, occasionally giving Mrs. Griffin a hand, though most of the time he sat on a sofa nearby with his laptop in his lap to deal with work.When Gary pushed Larissa out of the ward, Lewis was still focused on reading work emails from Aldovia.Mrs. Griffin looked outside the door. "He went to answer a call and left. But his things are still here, so he will probably be back soon." As she said, Lewis' laptop was still placed on the sofa he had been sitting on, and the power indicator was still lit, which clearly meant that he had just left not long ago.Gary passed Larissa over to Mrs. Griffin. "Help Lari get into the bed. I will call Lewis." However, before the call went through, Lewis came back. The phone in his hand rang at this time. Lewis looked down to see before asking Gary in surprise, "You were looking for me, Gary?"Gary did not rush to speak. He w
Lewis was a little resigned, and he could not help but feel sorry for Kevan."It's his Uncle Bernard's 60th birthday today. He originally did not want to go, but his parents insisted that he attended, so …" Lewis defended Kevan. "If you have something really important to tell him, I will contact him now.""No need." Gary rejected his suggestion. "Telling him tomorrow when he comes is fine too."Lewis and Larissa looked at each other, and they pursed their lips simultaneously.…There were all kinds of luxurious cars parked in front of the Regal Dynasty Hotel. This spectacle caused many passers-by to stop and stare while letting out a series of rueful lamentations.Kevan parked his car in the midst of all of them, and his phone rang just as he pushed open the car door."Kevan, are you here yet?" Violet's voice came through the speakers.Kevan held his phone in one hand, while his other hand reached to the passenger's seat to grab the wrapped gift. "I just arrived.""Oh, good, g
Sitting at the main head table were the three Rogers brothers and their sons. The women and grandchildren were arranged to sit at the next head table close by.The moment Kevan got closer, Anthony stood up and waved at him. "Kevan, here!"The gazes of everyone else at the table only fell on him then.There was an empty seat next to Anthony, which had clearly been left for Kevan.Kevan did not take his seat at once but went over to Bernard to give him the prepared gift. "Happy birthday, Uncle Bernard." Kevan smiled faintly, his voice had a rare trace of gentleness when faced with all these people—he was always good with pulling superficial performances, even during the years in which the relationship of his side and theirs was at its most strained. He never did anything that could allow anyone to hold leverage over him when it came to public and social settings.It was just that, ever since he "lost" his memory, he was colder to his family and friends. So, his attitude today surpri
Seeing that the atmosphere had become awkward, Cody and Edmund immediately came to smooth things over. One pulled on Bernard while the other went to persuade Maria."Dad, Mom is only doing this for your own good! Please don't be angry!""Forget it, Mom. It's Dad's 60th birthday today. Just show him a bit of respect and not cause a scene here, please? There are people watching!"No one bothered to apologize to Kevan—of course, he never expected them to either. In the confusion, he silently went over to sit in his seat, trading a look with Anthony before quietly observing this farce. However, the farce did not last long. After both sons had persuaded them, combined with the stares from the guests, Bernard and Maria calmed down very quickly.Cody got a waiter to clean up the mess on the floor, and once Bernard's emotions were fully calm, the feast officially started.There was an emcee for the feast. Cody had spent a great deal of money on this too, for he had hired a well-known host
