Chapter 296
Shannon had known that Jeremiah would listen to her.
She got into the car and looked at Dewberry Manor, where Xavier was living. She asked Leonard, “Mr. Cook, you’re the one who represented Xav in that lawsuit, aren’t you?”
Xavier had refused to go along with her plans of a marriage alliance with another family, and he had also refused to accept Daphne.
Shannon was worried that something would eventually happen to him if he remained alone at Dewberry
Manor.
Therefore, she had contacted Leonard, who had been Xavier’s divorce attorney. She wanted to ask him for more information about the situation.
“Yes,” Leonard answered.
“I want to ask whether Yvette has any duty or responsibility to take care of Xavier in his current state.” The implication in Shannon’s words was clear. Leonard was a smart man, and he immediately realized what she was hinting at.
“Of course.” He paused. “If there is a need for it, I can help Mr. Lane draft a prosecution agreement to have Ms. Snyder take care of him.” Shannon’s lips curved upward slightly. “Alright. I want Yvette to get a lawyer’s letter by today. Can it be done?”
“Of course.”
Shannon was very satisfied with his answer, and she gave him her business card. “Mr. Cook, I’d also like to invite you to come to Titan Corporation.”
Leonard didn’t take the business card. He smiled mirthlessly. “Thank you, but I don’t need that.”
Shannon didn’t take it to heart. In any case, she had achieved her goal. After getting out of the car, she went inside the manor.
Xavier was sitting in the study. He had wanted to see what he had done in the past, but apart from using his phone to play audio messages, he couldn’t get any information since he couldn’t read any of the documents.
Shannon felt bitter when she saw her son reduced to his current state. After all, he had once been so exceptional. However, she had to be ruthless. “Xay, I have something to say to you.”
Xavier closed the file he was holding. “What is it?”
“I forgot to tell you that Yvette is already two months pregnant.”
Xavier’s chest tightened.
“The two of you are husband and wife. As the saying goes, don’t let the sun go down on your anger. I don’t care what kind of issues you two had in the past. You should be living with her and keeping her company.” Shannon knew that Xavier had only agreed to divorce Yvette because he was blind. He also hadn’t known

that Yvette was pregnant.
She continued, “As a man, you should take care of your wife and children. I know that even if you can no longer see, you’re my son, and you won’t let yourself sit around and do nothing.”
“I’ll send someone to take you to Yvette’s place later. Treat her well, and I’m sure she’ll change her mind,” she said.
Xavier clenched his fists. He was blind. Even if he didn’t want to go to Yvette’s, Shannon could forcefully take him there.
Besides, he really missed Yvette. He missed her terribly, and he wished that he could see her at once.
Before Xavier reached Sangine County, Yvette received a lawyer’s letter.
Leonard even came to see her personally and warn her. “Ms. Snyder, according to clause 1059 of the civil code, married couples have a duty to take care of each other.
“Mr. Lane was blinded in a car accident, and he needs someone to take care of him. If you don’t do your duty, I’ll sue you on his behalf.”
Yvette gripped the lawyer’s letter in her hand tightly. “Did Xavier send you?”
Leonard told her the truth. “No, it was Madam Shannon. She wants you to take care of Mr. Lane and do what a good wife should do.”
“What if I don’t?” Yvette asked.
Leonard smiled. There was a gentle look in his eyes, but his tone was chilly. “I remember you admitting in court that you had an affair.

“If you don’t know me, you can ask Kiki. She knows what I’m capable of. I can probably get prison for committing bigamy. You wouldn’t want to stay in prison for a couple of years after giving birth, would you?” As they spoke, a limousine drove toward them.
