But just as Yara was about to speak, Zoey interrupted her. “Don’t do something like this again. I know you’re doing it for my sake, but I don’t like it when others speak ill about you.” Yara realized that Zoey still cared about her. So, she decided to keep her thoughts to herself.
Zoey then wrapped her arm around Yara’s. “Mom, I did some research online and found out that you have another daughter, Yvette.”
Yara froze.
Zoey continued, “She’s married to Xavier Lane, isn’t she?” Xavier was the one Zoey cared about. In Tirion, not many men could compare to him.
“I want to meet him. Can you help me?”
Yara immediately saw through Zoey’s intentions. Even she felt that only Zoey was worthy of Xavier.
“It’s been a long time since I’ve seen him. If you want to meet him, I’ll definitely help you.”
Yara believed that if Xavier had feelings for Yvette, he would surely be attracted to Zoey, who resembled Yvette but was even more outstanding. When that happened, she would still be the Lane family’s in-law “You’re the best, Mom.” Zoey swayed Yara’s arm. She was behaving completely differently from before.
On the morning of New Year’s, a shocking piece of news broke.
“Xavier Lane, the owner of Titan Corporation, has decided to transfer all of his shares in the company to his brother, Jeremiah Lane. The future affairs of Titan Corporation will also be handled by Mr. Jeremiah. “According to the family, Mr. Xavier hasn’t made a full recovery since the car accident. He currently needs to recuperate in the hospital…”
The news immediately got to the top three of the trending searches.
What shocked the netizens even more was that Xavier had a twin brother, and they looked exactly alike, making it nearly impossible to tell them apart.
The rest of the Lanes were filled with regret. They realized they had been manipulated by Shannon.
Jeremiah had once been frail and had even almost died. He’d been getting treatment abroad for over a decade.
No one had expected him to recover and appear in public. It seemed that the Xavier they had known before might have been Jeremiah in disguise.
But Jeremiah had seized the
company’s core operations and now
held Xavier’s shares. He had no health issues, either. Considering that Titan Corporation was the Lane family’s company, what more could outsiders say about the situation?
While Yvette and the others were having breakfast, they saw the news report. At that moment, Yvette completely believed what Mark had said yesterday.
Looking at Xavier, who was calmly eating his oatmeal, she noticed that his expression hadn’t changed at all.
Feeling soft-hearted, she turned off the TV.
Viola was also surprised. She whispered to Yvette, “How can the rich have their sons replaced like this? They’re so weird.”
Although Viola disliked Xavier, she didn’t want to mock him over such matters.
“It’s my first time hearing about this too,” Yvette replied.
Just when it seemed like things would settle down, an unexpected visitor arrived in the afternoon.
Sitting on the couch, Shannon looked around at the dilapidated surroundings and saw Xavier’s bedroom, which was so simple and sparse. She couldn’t help but feel sorry for him. “Yvette, is this the condition you’re taking care of Xav in?” she asked.
She’d had no choice but to leave
Xavier here back then. Since he’d lost his memories, he’d been in a state of despair and shown no interest in anyone; all he’d cared about was Yvette. Shannon had been genuinely afraid that he’d end up dead.
Moreover, she’d needed to protect the company. With Xavier blind and suffering from amnesia, even if he had numerous shares, he would be just a puppet. It was better to give a the shares to Jeremiah.
