Passion 371

Chapter 371

Xavier didn’t ask any further questions fter he heard Yvette’s

answer.

After brushing off the conversation, Yvette went back to her room.

The day after tomorrow would be the New Year’s holiday, and both Xavier and Zachary would have time off–Xavier from work and Zachary from school.

Yvette led Xavier to a small room before mentioning, “I need to talk to you about something.”

Unbeknownst to them, Zachary was eavesdropping outside the

door.

“What is it?” Xavier stood in front of her, his tall figure casting a shadow over much of the light.

“I’ve thought about it for a long time. We should proceed with the divorce,” Yvette said. She knew it wasn’t ideal to discuss divorce while he was still recovering his memory, but she couldn’t bear to lose her baby.

Xavier’s eyes were dark and unreadable, and he remained silent for a long time.

Yvette had anticipated that he wouldn’t agree immediately, so she added, “To tell you the truth, the person you’ve always loved isn’t me but a beautiful movie star. You two are each other’s first love.

“If you divorce me now, she will definitely accept you. You won’t regret it when you regain your memories.”

Xavier quietly listened as she made up stories.

Over the past few days, he’d regained mos ‘his memories. He clearly remembered why he’d been involved with Daphne.

Firstly, it was because he’d thought she’d saved Shannon.

Secondly, it was simply because he felt it was time for him to date

someone.

There had never been any real feelings between them. They’d never even held hands.

But Yvette didn’t know that.

Xavier realized that Yvette would only push harder for a divorce if he’d admitted that he’d regained most of his memories.

He’d watched the video of their divorce proceedings that Mark had given him and seen how Yvette had publicly admitted to infidelity and even used it as leverage to force him into a divorce.

Seeing that Xavier remained silent, Yvette tried another approach. If you have any concerns, I can agree to give you 1.2 million dollars a month as alimony. How about that?”

Xavier’s expression changed abruptly.

Alimony? 1.2 million dollars? What did she take him for?

However, an idea hit him at the mention of money. “Yvvy, if a divorce will make you happy, I can agree to it.”

Yvette was surprised at his willingness to understand her feelings. In that case, shall we go to court to finalize the divorce after New Year’s?”

She was determined to succeed this time, especially after failing the last time when a staff at the court had brought up an issue.

“But there’s something I forgot to tell yo

“What is it?”

་་

Xavier said slowly.

“All my assets are currently frozen. Mark also informed me that I’ve accumulated significant debt. If we divorce, you’ll also have to share half of the debt.”

Yvette was stunned. She couldn’t believe it.

“How much do you owe?”

Xavier knew that the sudden revelation might seem unbelievable. It’s a substantial amount. If you want to know the exact figure, I can have Mark come over.”

Yvette wanted to see how he’d continue his lie.

Later that morning, Mark arrived with several stacks of documents.

“Mrs. Lane, I’m sure you’re aware that I was dismissed from Lane Group some time ago. I’ve recently seen the financial issues of the

company.

“Jeremiah’s involvement isn’t limited to just replacing Mr. Xavier. Look at these documents–they’re transfer agreements signed by him on behalf of Mr. Xavier. All of Mr. Xavier’s assets have been transferred to Jeremiah’s name. This includes the shares in Titan Corporation.”

Mark handed the documents to Yvette.

The documents appeared legitimate. Since Shannon had heard of Xavier’s aversion to having his identity used, she’d started arranging for Jeremiah to transfer Xavier’s assets, aiming to hand over the company to Jeremiah as quickly as possible.

Xavier had been unaware of it at the time; he’d only received the transfer contracts afterward. Shannon had also begged him not to expose the matter.

Yvette examined the agreements, finding them convincing.

Right then, Xavier turned to Mark. “Tell Yvvy how much I owe.”

Owe?

Mark was momentarily stunned. Xavier’s personal savings amounted to much more than the worth of the entire Titan Corporation.
