Passion 369

Chapter 369

Mr. Lane?” Cynthia asked skeptically. She couldn’t believe that someone so wealthy and influential would

be so young.

Sitting in the car, Yvette heard Cynthia’s question. “Mr. Lane?” she wondered,

Soon, she heard a man reply in a warm, gentle voice. “Yes, that’s me.”

The voice was identical to Xavier’s, but the tone was exceptionally gentle, far more so than Xavier’s, despite his current softened demeanor.

Yvette’s heart skipped a beat.

Listening to the conversation through the earpiece, she heard Cynthia negotiate terms and Jeremiah agree to everything without hesitation.

Yvette clenched her fists, her heart pounding wildly.

Cynthia ran out of things to say due to Jeremiah’s agreeableness. As per Yvette’s instructions, before leaving, she finally asked, “May I know your name?”

Jeremiah paused before responding, “Xavier.”

As expected. Yvette hadn’t misheard.

Cynthia was equally shocked. As soon as she left the building, she immediately reported back to Yvette. Boss, did you hear that? Xavier Lane is the mystery man!”

Since she lived abroad, she’d never seen Xavier, but she knew that he was the CEO of Titan Corporation.

“It seems like he genuinely wants to cooperate with us. The CEO himself came for the meeting, and he agreed to everything,” Cynthia informed Yvette excitedly.

She was thrilled by the idea of having conversed with such a handsome and important person for so long.

But Yvette was troubled. Collaborating with Titan Corporation was fine, but to work directly with

Jeremiah…

Before she could answer Cynthia, the latter received a call. “It’s Yara.”

Yvette gestured for Cynthia to put the call on speaker. Cynthia complied and answered the call. “Madam Yara, what can I do for you?”

*Ms. Cameron, I’ve decided. As long as you give my daughter exclusive rights to the song, I’ll perform a dance. I’ve already arranged for my secretary to make the announcement.”

Yvette listened silently, her hand clenched so tightly that her nails dug into her palm.

Yara had said “my daughter…

Yvette realized she’d completely forgotten to investigate Zoey after she’d seen Xavier at the hotel last night. Suppressing her discomfort, she nodded to Cynthia.

Cynthia knew what to say next. “Alright, once you perform the dance, we’ll sign a contract to give you exclusive rights to the song.”

She ended the call straight after that.

“Boss, won’t this be too much of a loss for us?” Cynthia asked.

Yvette shook her head. “No, it’s not a loss. At least I confirmed one thing.” She’d confirmed that Yara wasn’t incapable of love, she just didn’t love Yvette.

“Cynthia, you’ve been a great help these past few days.”

“Should I fly back to Asnea tomorrow?” Cynthia asked.

“Alright.” After all, the contract could be signed electronically.

After Cynthia left, Ray drove Yvette back to Sangine County. On the way, she called someone to investigate Zoey. She also looked up Zoey online.

Soon, she found Zoey’s personal profile.

Zoey was now 28 years old, slightly over a year older than Yvette, and was an internationally renowned dancer.

She’d started dancing at the age of four, entered Drieso South Dance Academy at age ten with the highest score, won the Oscar of the dance world–the Tirion Cup Award–at age 12, and became the principal dancer at the opera house at age 18. Her resume was undeniably impressive.

However, Yvette suddenly noticed the “parents” section. It read, “Father: Lawrence Yandell, a renowned entrepreneur.” Whereas for her mother…
