Chapter 20 Besides sleeping and eating, Xavier spent all his tat his office working.
Tristan ended up having to go to retrieve the belongings Yvette had left behind at Claude's apartment. He could sense that Xavier had changed.
Since Xavier had returned, he had grown quieter. It was as if he was immersed in hi wn world.
Tristan couldn't help but ask Mark, "What's up with Xav these days?" Mark shook his head. "I don't know either. Mr. Shaw, do you think that Mr. Lane has really fallen for Ms. Snyder?" When Tristan heard that, a strange look crossed his eyes. Who knows?" Th After that, he got into his car and asked his driver, Matt Grogg, to get going.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe leaned back in his seat and rubbed the spot between his eyebrows. If Xavier had really fallen for Yvette, then why had he been so eager to acquire Snyder Group? Xavier would have known how important Snyder Group had been for Yvette. James, who had loved his daughter to pieces, had built it from the ground up himself.
If Xavier liked Yvette, why would he have asked people to go overseas and give the Snyders trouble? Tristan still didn't know that Yvette had cut ties with Yara and Terrence. He only knew that they were two of Yvette's +15 BONUS few remaining relatives.
Xavier would never mistreat his woman. Back when he had been in a relationship with Daphne, she'd had everything she could ever want for.
However, Tristan realized that Xavier had been too hard on Yvette. He had been so cruel to her, as if she had been his enemy.
While he was deep in thought, Tristan arrived at an upscale neighborhood. After geng out from his car, he took a look and said, "This place can't be cheap." "It costs several thousand dollars per square foot at the very least," Matt replied.
To Tristan, the apartments there were chump change, but he knew that the average person wouldn't be able to afford to buy it.
As he walked up to the door, the housekeeper, Maria Poe, cto greet him. "Ms. Snyder's things are in the master bedroom. Mr. Lander asks that you leave as soon as you take everything." She knew that, despite his refined appearance, the man in front of her was bad news. Hence, she didn't treat him with much courtesy. Tristan looked at her. "Where is Mr. Lander?" Maria snorted coldly. "I'm not an attendant. How would I know where Mr. Lander went? He's too busy to deal with you no-good people..." Mumbling to herself, she went back to her work.
+15 BONUS Avery wanted to lecture Maria, but Tristan stopped him. The former found it strange. When had Tristan ever put up with such insulting treatment? Tristan headed straight to the master bedroom. Yvette's belongings were piled together. Clearly, someone had put them there before he had gotten there. Tristan shoved the items into a suitcase indiscriminately. Suddenly, he stopped in his tracks.
His fingers lingered on a delicate, antiquated crystal dragon pendant. The crystal pendant had been passed down the Shaw family, and there was only one of it! Tristan remembered that after he had been saved four years ago, he had given the pendant to his savior.
What was it doing here? He clenched the pendant tightly in his fist. After spacing out for a long time, he asked Avery to pack the other things and take them away.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWhen he returned, he received a phone call from the person he had hired to investigate the incident four years ago.
"Mr. Shaw, our investigations show that the person who saved you was the daughter of the Snyder family, Yvette!" He even went on to explain that he had painstakingly gotten a photo that had been taken by the person-in- charge at the hospital at the tand forwarded it to Tristan. Tristan unlocked his phone to take a look. Even though the photo was very blurry, he instantly recognized the person 3/4 +15 BONUS covered in blood in the photo.
It was Yvette! It really was Yvette!
Tristan's knuckles turned white from how hard he was gripping his phone. Memories of him bullying Yvette began to surface in his mind. He remembered their second meeting when Yvette had just becXavier's fiancée. She had looked at him with emotions swirling in her eyes. "You?"
At the time, Tristan had thought that she was just trying to flatter him by pretending to know him. It turned out En that that was far from the truth.
After that, Daphne had stirred up all kinds of trouble. Tristan started to think that Yvette was anopportunistic bitch! No matter the occasion, he would mock and single her out! Yet, even until the end, Yvette had never told him that she was the one who had saved him. "Why? Why didn't you tell me?" D COMMENTS
