Xavier didnât allow anyone to stay in the manor, and Mark had no choice but to obey his wishes. He arranged for someone to stand guard outside so that they could go in at once if anything happened.
Shannon had no time to look after Xavier because the internal conflict in Titan Corporation had become
very intense.
Zayden had joined forces with a few old shareholders and made the decision to call for a shareholdersâ meeting. They wanted to depose Xavier from his position as chairman of the board.
Clifford was getting old, and even though he wanted to help, he no longer had enough strength to do so.
Besides, Clifford didnât want Lane Group to continue being controlled by a blind man. Shannon was facing opposition from all sides.
At 9:00 am the next day, another shocking news article was released. The title read, âXavier Lane Goes Blind and Rejects Wifeâs Request for Divorce.â
The news report went on at length about how Xavier, who had once been one of the top big shots in the business world, was now being treated disdainfully by his wife. It emphasized how pitiful his current situation was.
Someone even uploaded a video titled, âXavier Is Blind, Not Dumbâ-which was what Yvette had said at the court the other day. The comment section below the video was filled with remarks.
âOh, my. I really do pity Xavier. He was so gifted, but now heâs lost his sight and was called a blind man in front of everyone.â
âYes, it really isnât worth it. Who would know about this woman if it hadnât been for him?â
âBy the way, where has Daphne gone? Shouldnât she come and rescue her Prince Charming? After all, she was his first love and the one that got away.â
âI havenât seen Daphne in ages. I heard that her company has stopped her activities for now.â
âAre you serious? Would anyone really think that Daphne is worthy of Xavier? Have you forgotten that video of hers?â
There were all sorts of gossip and comments.
After someone uploaded the full video, more comments were added.
âWhy do I feel kind of sorry for Yvette? Didnât you hear what she said? She mentioned divorce before Xavier went blind.â
âThatâs right. Their divorce lawsuit was mentioned a few days ago.â
Kiki had seen the comments as well, and she couldnât resist standing up for Yvette. She wrote a long comment below the video.
âThose of you who are criticizing Yvette must also be blind! After the Snyders fell from grace, Xavier never once helped Yvette. On top of that, he started fooling around with Daphne while he was still
married to Yvette.

âDonât let your principles be controlled by what you see alright? Itâs a pity for Xavier that heâs gone blind, but have you ever considered the fact that heâs still a billionaire despite all that?
âDoes he really need your pity? Is he really the husband who got abandoned during a hard time, like the internet is portraying him to be?
âYouâre all surviving on bread, and youâre getting indignant on behalf of a blind billionaire. Are you dumb?â
Kiki had written the comment to vent her anger and stand up for Yvette, but it ended up going viral.
Several people expressed that they had come to their senses and realized that they shouldnât have blamed Yvette.
The public began attacking Xavier instead, calling him a leech who had scrounged off the Snyders. Not only that, they called him a scumbag for having an affair with a celebrity while still being married.
They even proclaimed that he deserved to be blind.
Shannon wanted to get the news articles about Xavier taken down, but his opponents paid for them to keep trending. They wanted to make Xavier the top trending topic on purpose.
If Xavier had been healthy, the rumors online wouldnât have become so wild.
Now he was blind and had lost his memories. He couldnât even remember the name of the company, let alone anything about the companyâs affairs.
In the past, Xavier had been so accomplished and capable that heâd ended up making too many enemies. Now that he was getting attacked, everyone was coming forward to kick him while he was down.
Tristan and Quentin wanted to help him, but there was nothing they could do.
Apart from their families and the companies that Lane Group had been working with, all the Tirion had suffered severe oppression in the past because of Xavier.

Tristan wasnât fully in control of the Shaws yet, or else they might have had a fighting chance. All he could do was vent his anger on Tony, the man who had run Xavier over.
Meanwhile, in Tirion Asylum, Daphne stood in the middle of a crowd of psychiatric patients, dressed in a hospital gown. When she saw the news, she began laughing as if she had truly gone insane.
