Chapter 102

It wasn't just because the Snyder family had tricked him into marrying Yvette, but also because Yvette had faked her death and spent the past years abroad with Claude!

Yvette's eyes were filled with pain as she uttered. "You know the incident back then had nothing to do

with me."

"But you were one of the people who gained something from it, weren't you?" Xavier's voice was laced with anger.

He was furious that Yvette only thought he was angry that she had taken advantage of him through their marriage. She never mentioned faking her death, Claude, or the children. Yvette couldn't replace the words to respond.

After a prolonged silence, Xavier went to the balcony and lit a cigarette again. In the cold wind, he couldn't stop coughing as his eyes reddened and he grew warmer.

He himself didn't understand why he was doing this to keep Yvette with him.

Perhaps it was out of resentment.

He felt resentful that he had spent four or five years searching for her, only to replace that she was with

another man.

He felt resentful that the woman who had loved him for over a decade suddenly didn't love him anymore and had chosen to leave him.

Until now, Xavier still remembered how decisively Yvette had left when she had first asked him for

divorce,

At that time, he had never thought that Yvette would truly let go of him. But now he understood that the reason she hadn't made a scene was because she had been planning to leave him for a long time. As he thought of that, he stubbed out the cigarette and went back into the room. His whole body exuded a chilling air.

"Let's go home."

Home?

Yvette was confused. Did she even have a home anymore?

After they got into the car, Xavier didn't stop coughing as he drove.

Yvette only stared at the rain sliding down the window, as though she didn't hear a thing. Being utterly

indifferent was probably what it meant to not love someone anymore.

Xavier glanced at the rearview mirror. He felt a sharp pain in his chest when he saw her cold, Indifferent expression.

After a restless night, Yvette went to sleep in her old room.

When she came down from her room after waking up and freshening up the next morning, breakfast had already been laid out on the table in the dining room.

She had never eaten takeout brought by Xavier, much less a meal prepared by him.

"Mark bought it. If you need anything at home, just let him know." Xavier approached her, pulled out a chair, and sat down, speaking as naturally as if nothing had changed.

Yvette sat at the farthest end of the table. Her gaze fell on the trash can where the black-and-white photo and the um were discarded.

"Alright."

She had thought about it for a long time last night. As long as Noah was safe, she could stay here for now and replace a way to get Xavier's semen. Once she succeeded, she would figure out how to leave. Xavier felt much better after seeing that she wasn't being sarcastic anymore.

As Yvette ate some of her oatmeal, she asked, "About my friend..."

"I've had her released," Xavier replied. Then, he added coldly, "Daphne is an artist signed to Carnival Central Media. You should know that Carnival Central Media is a subsidiary of Lane Group. Tell your friend to stop posting nonsense."

Yvette's grip on her spoon tightened. It turned out that Xavier had done all of this just to protect Daphne.

"My friend didn't post without reason. Daphne plagiarized a song by an overseas composer, and my friend is that composer's lawyer," Yvette explained.

Xavier sneered, "If she's a lawyer, she should understand what should and shouldn't be written."

His mocking smile felt like a stab to Yvette.
