Passion 275

Chapter 275

Yvette suddenly felt like her life was a joke. Even though she had been married to Xavier for years, she had never asked the Lanes for anything. Instead, she had given Xavier everything she had.

But in the end, they were afraid that she had her eyes on their assets.

It was ridiculous!

She turned back to look at Shannon. That’ll depend on the judge’s decision.”

She didn’t want the money. However, she didn’t want Shannon to be happy at that moment. As expected, the latter was scared. As she watched Yvette leave, she anxiously called Xavier.

Xavier and Yvette’s marriage had lasted for eight years. Throughout the years, Lane Group had grown way more than expected. It had started as a local enterprise and had become one of the best companies in the world.

If Yvette were to have half of it, she would gain at least hundreds of billions.

“Xav, where are you now?” Shannon hurriedly asked when the call was connected.

“At the company.”

He had s

seen the news as well, and he had told someone to look into the people who published it.

“I’ve just met Yvette. The article was right. She wants our assets. She sure is ambitious.” Shannon angry that her voice was trembling.

n was so

When Xavier heard her, he didn’t believe her at all. He didn’t want to talk to her any longer. “I got it. Don’t worry. I’ll take care of this.”

He wouldn’t agree to the divorce. After he hung up the call, he looked at a man sitting near him. The man

looked cold and elegant in his suit.

“Mr. Cook, you’re not the one behind this article, are you?”

Leonard arrogantly answered, “No.”

Xavier looked away and casually said, “You’ve been here for a couple of weeks now. Aren’t you going to see your ex–girlfriend?”

He still didn’t want to fight against Yvette in court. That wasn’t a place for her to go. He also missed her a

lot.

Leonard was a smart man and knew what was on Xavier’s mind. So, he said straightforwardly, “Kiki’s a stubborn woman. Once she sets her mind on something, nothing can make her change her mind.”

He was trying to say that even if he met Kiki, she would never agree to persuade Yvette to drop the lawsuit.

Xavier suddenly figured that it wouldn’t be wise for a man to be that smart. He thought it made sense why Kiki would break up with Leonard.

After Leonard had left, Xavier took out his phone and searched for Yvette’s contact. He wanted to call her badly, but he was worried that she might reject his call right away

He thought about it for a long time and still decided to call her in the end. Even though it wasn’t a video call, he still purposely tidied his shirt before making the call. His heart raced as he waited for the call to

connect.

Finally, someone picked up the call. “What do you want?” The familiar voice made him feel overjoyed.

“Did you see the news online?” Xavier didn’t know what to talk about, so he randomly started a conversation.

“I did. It wasn’t me,” Yvette said.

He stood up and walked to the window. “I know.”

“In that case, what do you want?”

She thought he had called to question her because of Shannon. However, he didn’t mention it at all. Instead, he just looked at the snow outside and mumbled, “It’s snowing outside.”

It had been snowing a lot recently. Yvette was at Kiki’s house. When she heard what he said, she looked outside the window. It seemed to be snowing heavily.

“Yeah.”

“Shall we meet up?” he tried asking.

“I’ll pass. If there’s nothing else, I’m going to hang up now.” Then, she ended the call right away.

Kiki was arranging some documents next to her. She asked, “Was it Xavier?”

“Yeah.”

“We’re going to court tomorrow. Why is he calling at this moment?”

Yvette shook her head. “I don’t know. He just told me it was snowing.”

“How weird.”

After Kiki said that, she continued preparing the documents. There would definitely be a lot of people paying attention to Yvette and Xavier’s divorce lawsuit. So, she had to be careful.

There was something else that she didn’t know yet. Not only would she be representing Yvette in court tomorrow, but she would see her first love again as well. They would be fighting against each other.
