"Fine, we can discuss this further once you've apologized and made things right. Now let go; I'm going to shower," Yvette said.

Xavier released her. His hand still bore faint bite marks from Yvette's teeth. After she left, he called Mark. "Have someone look into Claude. Find out where he is now."

Mark was puzzled. Did his boss want someone dead tonight when it was such a happy festival?

"We checked a few days ago, Mr. Lane. Claude still hasn't recovered yet. Should we go easy on him?"

Xavier's next words shocked Mark even more. "Send men to protect him. Don't let him die."

"What?" Mark thought he'd misheard.

"Yvette found out about Claude. She wants me to apologize and compensate him. Arrange to return some of the previous projects to him as compensation." Xavier spoke with reluctance. This was the first time he'd ever done such a thing.

Mark realized Xavier wasn't acting out of kindness; it was all for Yvette. "Yes, I'll handle it right away."

"Make sure to leave evidence for Yvvy to see," Xavier said, emphasizing the key point. He wasn't sincere about his apology at all.

"Understood."

In past years, on the eve of the festival, Yvette would stay up late with Viola. But this year, she was pregnant, and Viola had passed away.
