Back at Sangine County, Yvette looked at Xavier after the call ended. He was still learning braille. She couldnât help asking, âDid you hear the news earlier?â
âYeah.â He said without lifting his head, âSomeoneâs impersonating me.â
âDonât you care?â she asked again.
âYvvy, I just want to live a peaceful life with you. I also want to be good at braille so that I can take good care of you and your baby,â he answered.
When she heard him mentioning the baby, she instinctively touched her belly. âWhat baby?â
âMy mom has already told me that youâre pregnant.â He faced Yvette and continued, âDonât worry. Even though Iâm blind, Iâm not going to make you and the baby suffer.â
She hadnât expected Shannon to tell him about the baby. Since Xavier couldnât remember anything at that moment, Yvette said with a scoff, âThe baby Iâm having isnât yours.â
He froze. She figured Xavier would definitely become enraged. However, he didnât become angry like she had thought. He just clenched the book in his hands tightly. âWhose is it?â
âNot yours.â Yvette avoided using Claude as her shield so that she wouldnât have to be worried about him.
Xavier grabbed her hand. âSince you donât know who the babyâs father is, Iâll treat it as my own. Iâll take good care of you guys.â
She was stunned. All she had said was that the baby wasnât his; she hadnât said that she had no idea who the father was.
Just as she was about to clarify, Xavier solemnly said, âDonât worry. I was able to manage an
international corporation before I lost my memories. Even if Iâm blind now, Iâm not going to make you and the baby suffer.â
When she heard him saying that, she broke free of his grip, not feeling like explaining herself anymore. Thereâs no need for that. Just take good care of yourself.â (1
Then, she went back upstairs in a hurry to continue working on her music. Although she had a huge amount of money at her disposal, there was no guarantee about her future.
After all, the Snyder family had had hundreds of billions of dollars worth of assets before, and they had lost it all in the end.
Yvette was having a hard time composing her music when her phone started ringing. She grabbed it and saw that it was Matthew calling.
âHello, Matthew.â
âIâve finally reached you, Yvette.â He had tried calling her multiple times before finding out about her new number.
Yvette had been busy recently, and she had forgotten she had asked him to return the money to Xavier.â Sorry. I forgot to call you.â
âI should be the one saying sorry.â Then, he sighed on the other side of the call.

âWhatâs wrong?â She had a feeling that he was implying something else.
âYou told me to return the money to Xavier, right? Well, he didnât want it, and I was planning to give it back to you. Howeverâ¦â He sighed again.
âA few days ago, Madam Yara and Terrence suddenly returned to Tirion. I donât know how, but they knew about the large amount of money I had. So, they got someone to sue me, saying that I had embezzled Mr. Snyderâs assets. Now, the eight billion dollars are frozen.â
Yvette hadnât expected Yara and Terrence to return to Tirion once more after disappearing for years. If they were successful with their lawsuit, not only would she lose the money, but Matthew would have to go to jail as well.
âDonât worry, Matthew. I have evidence that the money belongs to me. They wonât be able to win the lawsuit.â
She remembered that most of the money came from an unknown foreign investor. At that moment, she still didnât know who that investor was. Not only was Matthew worried about this matter, but he was also worried about Yvette.
âYvette, when I saw Madam Yara and Terrence, they seemed different. You have to be cautious and not let them bully you anymore.â
