Yvette clearly misunderstood Xavierâs concerns. She immediately explained how capable Ray wasâhe could take on ten people at once, didnât have a temper, and was the kind who did more and spoke less.
The more Yvette showered Ray with praise, the more determined Xavier was to get rid of Ray.
âHave them all leave. I donât like strangers,â Yvette added.
Did she not like strangers, or was it because she didnât like unattractive people?
Xavier didnât dare ask; he had the bodyguards leave first. Since Yvette refused to budge, Xavier decided to approach Ray instead.
Yvette assumed Xavier had acted on a whim and didnât pay much attention to it.
Meanwhile, after Terrence learned of Yvetteâs whereabouts from Yara, he set off for Sanginè County.
When he arrived at Yvetteâs place, it was already 10:00 pm.
By this time, everyone was already resting. Braving the cold wind, Terrence knocked on the door.
Yvette hadnât fallen asleep yet. When she heard someone knocking, she got out of bed to answer the door. As she opened it, she saw Terrence bundled up in a down jacket, covered in snow.
Without saying a word, Terrence tried to enter the house. However, Yvette blocked the doorway. âWhat are you doing here?â she asked.
âLetâs talk inside,â he replied. It was freezing outside.
Yvette eyed him warily and didnât let him in. âIf you have something to say, say it here.â
In the past, Terrence wouldâve already pushed her aside, but since he needed her help, he could only stand at the door in the cold wind.
âYvvy, can you help me with something?â he asked.
Yvvy?
Yvetteâs lips curled into a cold sneer. âMr. Terrence, Iâm not âYvvyâ to you. Donât forget, youâre the one who said that a deaf person isnât worthy of being your sisterâ
âThat was just something childish only a child would say. I didnât mean it, so you shouldnât take it to heart, âTerrence remarked as he glanced inside the house.
He thought it was ridiculous for Yvette to stay in such a shabby place instead of the comfortable Lane
Mansion.
However, he maintained a polite tone. âYvvy, can you help me? I want to make a comeback. All you need to do is make a small sacrifice, which isnât really a sacrifice-â
âSacrifice? Who do you want to sell me to this time?â Yvetteâs voice was cold as she clenched her fists.
âIâm just asking you to meet my brotherâinâlaw. If you agree to see him, he promised to help us re- establish Snyder Group.â

Terrence placed a hand on Yvetteâs shoulder and looked into her eyes. âYvvy, donât you want to restore Snyder Group? Donât you care about Grandpa and Dadâs hard work?â
Meet his brotherâinâlaw? Yvette was confused. âWho are you calling âbrotherâinâlawâ?â she asked.
âXavier, of course. I saw him at Titan Corporation today. He said that heâll help me if you meet him,â Terrence replied promptly.
Yvette immediately tensed up. She knew that the man at Titan Corporation wasnât Xavier, but Jeremiah.
She lowered her gaze, unsure of what to say. Sheâd considered meeting Jeremiah to ask about the past, but she was now a mother of two with another baby on the way. The past should stay in the past.
âI donât want to see him,â she stated. What would she get out of meeting Jeremiah? Would they rekindle old feelings or reminisce about the past?
She looked at Terrenceâs handsome face, which resembled Jamesâ. âTerrence, youâre an adult now. Stop relying on others for everything. In this world, we must only rely on ourselves.â
