Chapter 281
Since Leonard was a lawyer, he had always been more attentive than others. When the foreigners drove away, he sneakily followed them.
Meanwhile, Xavier was personally driving with Yvette in the passenger seat. He thought about what she had said during the trial and said, âDo you really want to get a divorce?â
Even though he knew the answer, he still wanted to ask her that one more time.
âYeah.â She nodded and added, âAs long as you agree to it, I promise not to take anything from you. All I want is my freedom.â
Xavier was speechless, and he didnât continue the topic. Instead, he asked, âDid you mean what you said during the trial?â
Yvette hesitated for a moment before saying, âThat doesnât matter anymore, right?â
She looked at him and added, âIf you still donât want to get a divorce, Iâll tell the whole world that was with someone else a long time ago.â
That was the cruelest idea she could come up with. Xavier liked to keep up his reputation. He wouldnât let something like this affect the company he had worked so hard to build.
âDo you know the consequences those who threaten me face?â he calmly asked.
Yvette pursed her lips tightly and heard him saying, âA few years ago, there was an estate business owner who wanted a project worth hundreds of millions of dollars for a piece of land.
âHe said he would cause a scene at the company if I didnât agree to his terms. In the end, he was fished out of a river.â
She remembered the incident as well. When they had gotten married, there had been a time when Xavier had been extremely upset and would get worked up a lot.
One day, she had seen the news about someone falling in the river. That was when his mood had improved.
Fear flashed across Yvetteâs gaze, and she pretended to be calm. âI just want to get a divoree.â âBut I donât want that,â he coldly said.
As they spoke, they didnât realize that there was a huge truck coming their way in a hurry at the next junction. Xavier saw it coming first and immediately turned the steering wheel before he could look at Yvette.
However, it was too late.
Seeing how the truck was about to collide with them, he quickly blocked Yvette with his body. Then, there was a loud crash.
At that moment, Yvete felt something splatter across her face. All she saw was red. It was blood.

The man in front of her didnât respond. She yelled miserably, âXavier!â
It was quiet around them. The two foreigners in the truck left the scene immediately.

One of them was Tony. Previously, Xavierâs men had beaten up one of his men in the hotel. Ever since he had gotten away, he had been planning to get revenge. That was why he had followed them back to Tirion.
Leonardâs car only arrived later, and he saw that Xavierâs car was damaged badly. Even the front windshield was in pieces. Xavier had lost consciousness, and Yvette had lost a lot of blood from her legs and fainted as well.
Leonard quickly called the police and an ambulance.
Yvette had lost count of the times she had been admitted to the hospital. As she listened to the medical equipment beeping next to her, she tried to open her eyes. However, she couldnât do it at all.
She was terrified of accidents because that was how James had died. This time, Xavier had been in a car crash as well, and he had even used his body to protect her.
She didnât know why he would do that.
Yvette wanted to open her eyes and see how he was doing, but she still couldnât open them.
While being in a daze, she could hear the doctor, Benedict Lloyd, talking to the nurse, âThis is the CEO of Lane Group. We must do everything we can to prevent him from dying here.â
When she heard that, she was startled. He couldnât die! If he died, she would never be able to repay him.
