Chapter 124
Xavier felt like something was stuck in his throat. He had never cared about the money or projects. He just didn’t like being lied to! Whether it was in the business field or anywhere else, that had been the first and only time he had been tricked in public.
Seeing how Xavier wasn’t answering her, Yvette didn’t know how she could help him find closure.” Other than that, I really have no idea how I can help you let go of the past.”
When Xavier noticed that she had finally stopped talking, he turned his head to look at her petite figure.”
“It has been at least eight years since our families‘ agreement. Many things have changed in that time, including the projects and the amount of money. How do you plan on returning all of it?”
“State your price, and I’ll think of a way to pay you back,” she quickly said.
His dark eyes lit up a little. “Sure. Once you’ve paid me back fully, I’ll let you go.”
Since she had asked him to state his price, he decided to state one that she could never pay fully!
Yvette let out a breath of relief. Other than Zachary and Noah, the agreement between their families was the only thing tying them together. She just wanted to return everything to him and not owe him anything anymore.
They finally arrived at Dewberry Manor. As soon as they got there, Yvette felt her stomach chuming. and she threw up a lot in the bathroom.
Xavier stood outside and asked the bodyguard who followed her, “Who said you could let her drink?”
The bodyguard kept his head down. “I’m sorry, Mr. Lane.“,
“I’m giving you ten minutes to prepare some medicine and everything she needs to sober up,” he coldly instructed.
“Understood.” The bodyguard left immediately after that.
When Yvette came out of the bathroom again, she had also washed up. However, she still looked extremely pale.
Xavier looked at her from the living room. “Come here
She slowly walked toward him and saw the chicken noodle soup and medicine on the coffee table.” Have some before you go to sleep,” he said.
“Alright. Thank you.” She took a seat and grabbed the soup before finishing it. After that, she took some medicine, and her head stopped hurting
Then, she sat up straight and solemnly asked him, “How much should I return to you?”
Xavier felt like she wasn’t fully sober yet. He glanced at her with his dark gaze and drank some water. Then, he said, “I don’t remember how much your father promised to give me when I married you, so

should just pay me that first. It should total up to at least five billion dollars. Then, we need to take inflation into account.”
It was a huge amount. She placed her hands on her legs and nodded. “That makes sense.”
Seeing how obedient she looked, Xavier suddenly felt bad for taking advantage of her while she was
drunk.
“You can pay me eight billion dollars for now. Didn’t you give me 100 million dollars before? I’m not going to let you suffer. After deducting 100 million dollars, you just need to pay 7.9 billion dollars.
“Since you gave me a gift when we got married, I won’t ask you to return the gifts I gave you.

“However, your dad promised he would partner up with me when he was still alive. In the end, your brother and mother sabotaged it and caused us a great loss.
“I need to get someone to calculate exactly how much we’ve lost. Is that alright?”
Although Yvette had earned some money throughout these years, she probably didn’t even have 900 million dollars, let alone 7.9 billion dollars.
Even when she donated to charity, she would only donate 200 million dollars. So, she decided to write more songs in the future to make more money and stop donating to charity.
“You should do that. After you have the exact number, I’ll pay you back.”
Xavier couldn’t feel happy at all because she was being so cooperative. After all, she was willing to do whatever she could to leave him for good.
Suddenly, he thought about something and said, “I’m going to say this first–you should stay at Dewberry Manor before you pay me back entirely
“Sure.”
