Chapter 297
Leonard turned back to look at the limousine. He saw Mark get out of the car, followed by bodyguards and maids.
He didn't say anything else and just got in his car and left.
Viola hobbled out slowly when she heard the commotion outside. When she saw Mark and the others, she hurriedly asked, "Who are they?"
Yvette didn't want her to catch a chill. "Viola, go in and get some rest. I'll tell you about it later."
"Alright." Viola nodded. She walked slowly back inside, her back hunched. Yvette closed the front door before walking toward Mark and the others.
When Mark saw how dilapidated the house looked on the outside, he felt trepidation on Xavier's behalf. Xavier had always led a pampered life. How could he get used to living here?
Yvette walked over to them. She didn't see Xavier, so she asked Mark, "Mr. Xyrax, what's going on?"NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.
"Madam Shannon told me to bring all Mr. Lane's clothes and other things over here," Mark replied.
It seemed that Leonard had been telling the truth. Shannon really was planning on having Yvette take care of Xavier. If she refused to do so, Shannon would sue her.
Yvette looked frosty. "Where's Xavier?"
"Mr. Lane will be here soon." Mark began directing the people behind him to start carrying the things inside.
"Wait!" Yvette stopped them at once. "Xavier can't live here!"
Mark looked awkward. "Madam Shannon says that if you refuse to let Mr. Lane stay here, you'll have to return to Dewberry Manor to take care of him. If you refuse to do that as well, then... I'm sur hat Mr. Cook has made himself clear."
She wouldn't be sent to prison while she was pregnant, but she would still have to go after the baby was
born.
Yvette's fists clenched tightly. She was so angry that she didn't know what to do.
Mark also thought that it was unfair. "Ms. Snyder-no, I should call you Mrs. Lane. Mrs. Lane, please take care of Mr. Lane. He's been staying alone at Dewberry Manor and refuses to let anyone go near him. I don't know how many injuries he's suffered already.
"You don't know about this, but he really regrets what he did. He likes you. He bought Snyder Residence and rebuilt Snyder Tower. The construction is nearly done."
It was the first time that Yvette had heard anyone around Xavier address her as "Mrs. Lane".
She smiled bitterly. "Mark, I really think that all of you are extremely cruel. I've been married to him for so many years, but you only treat me as a part of the Lane family now because he was in an accident. I'm only being addressed as 'Mrs. Lane' now that he's blind."
She continued, "I don't love him anymore, but now you tell me that he likes me. How would you feel if you
were in my place?"
Mark couldn't say anything.

The wind was chilly, and although Yvette was wearing thick clothing, she still looked very thin.
The snow fell around them and drifted onto her shoulders. She had no choice but to give in. "Xavier can come if he wants to, but this is my home, not his. He's not allowed to bring in any of this." When she had married into the Lane family, she had only brought along one suitcase of personal items.
At the time, Xavier had said the same thing to her-Dewberry Manor was his home, and Yvette hadn't been allowed to bring in anything at all. In the end, she had only taken some essential clothes with her. "But-" Mark looked at the shabby old brick house. He wanted to protest, but Yvette cut him off.
"If the Lanes turn their noses up at this place, then I'll have to ask Xavier to leave."
Mark had no choice but to compromise. He took out Xavier's clothes, shoes, and daily necessities. He was going to take them inside himself, but Yvette took them from him.
"Give them to me. Since you want me to take care of him, from now on, no one except him will be allowed to enter my home without permission."

"Alright." If Yvette hadn't stopped him, Mark would already have called a renovation team.
"When is he coming over?" Yvette asked.
"At 10:00 pm, which is about four hours from now."
