Passion 246

Chapter 246

When a person was determined to leave someone, they wouldn’t appear no matter how hard the other person searched for them.

Xavier understood this well.

But this time was different from the last, he was unnervingly calm.

Mark followed him back to Dewberry Manor, watching as he entered Yvette’s room.

Everything inside remained as it was, with stacks of gifts untouched.

Xavier didn’t say a word as he strode over to open each gift. One could only imagine how much effort he had put into acquiring the classic clothes Yvette had once desired, along with renowned luxury items.

“Mark, get someone to organize these things properly. When she returns, she should see them all at a glance.”

“Yes, sir,” Mark responded before quickly summoning a temporary worker.

As Xavier unwrapped the gifts, he asked, “How’s the progress on Snyder Group?”

“Two months until completion, sir,” Mark replied.

“Will it be finished when she returns?” Xavier asked.

Mark, who was genuinely taken aback by Xavier’s current demeanor, quickly nodded.

Unfortunately, the jeweler arrived right at that moment.

When the manager went upstairs and saw Xavier, he inquired eagerly, “Mr. Lane, as per your request, we’ve crafted 100 engagement rings. Would you like Mrs. Lane to come and choose one?”

Mrs. Lane…

The unfamiliar title momentarily stunned Xavier, then he replied, “Leave them all here. Yvette can choose

when she comes back.”

“Understood!” The manager ensured the rings were properly stored before he and his employees departed.

Mark also realized at that moment that Xavier had actually ordered an engagement ring for Yvette. He remembered back when they had gotten married, the wedding ring had been something Mark that had casually picked out.

Mark couldn’t bear to see Xavier like this.

“Mr. Lane, Ms. Snyder doesn’t deserve your kindness, especially considering she and Claude already have childrenir

Xavier’s cold gaze fell on him. “Didn’t.I teach you not to meddle in others‘ affairs?”

As Mark lowered his head, Xavier approached him. “If you have too much free time, then unpack and organize these gifts.”

“Yes, sir,” Mark replied.

Xavier then walked outside. When his phone rang, he instinctively thought it might be Yvette. But it turned out to be Quentin.

“Xav, Tris wants us to come over today to see his son.”

“I’m busy.” Xavier hung up the phone immediately. With no news of Yvette’s whereabouts, he didn’t want

to see anyone now.

Unfortunately, at that moment, there was another unwanted visitor–Daphne. Afraid that Xavier might find out about things from Tristan, she had rushed over and barged in. She noticed that the atmosphere in the manor was tense.

“Xav!”

Xavier had almost forgotten about her existence.

How did she have the nerve to come looking for him after she had pretended to have saved Shannon and Tristan?

Xavier was sitting on the couch, looking up at her. “What do you want me to do for you this time?” Seeing his demeanor, Daphne thought he was still unaware of the truth. Tears streamed down her face. “I’m sorry. Andy is just a scumbag. When I was abroad, he forcefully had his way with me. Because of him, I almost had a mental breakdown and nearly ended up in a mental hospital. The doctors said I had selective amnesia about him…”

Xavier promptly had his bodyguard place two blood test reports in front of Daphne. Of course, he didn’t rely solely on this test; while searching for Yvette, he had also investigated what had happened back then Who would have thought that Daphne would dare to take credit for Yvette’s life–saving act?

“When you were there, you also had psychiatric problems–schizophrenia by proxy, right?” Xavier’s thin lips parted slightly.

Daphne’s body went limp, and she nearly collapsed to the ground. “Xav, please hear me out. I really did save Madam Shannon, but Yvette’s the one who donated blood. At that time, the two of us-”

Xavier had lost patience before she could finish her sentence.

“It seems you really do have mental issues.” He looked at the bodyguard. “Take her to a psychiatric hospital for treatment.”
