Instead, she was wearing a deep blue gown, exactly the same as Daphne's.

I knew she saw the style of the dress I had prepared for Daphne and did this on purpose.

But by then, my clothes were already destroyed.It was in Derek's castle, so I had no spare clothes with me.

Bruto Street in the southern district.The day I went to look for Vilda.She rushed towards me like a mad person.At that time, I ran across the street and when I turned around, I saw someone behind Vilda."I..."

Walking into the reception room, I saw Daphne causing havoc and tearing the place apart. She stopped only when she saw me walk in. "Derek, what did it mean? You held Tabitha in your arms in front of everyone?!" Daphne shouted at me, her eyes filled with doubt and anger. I looked at her coldly. "Daphne, you planned all of this, and now you question me?" My voice was calm, but every word carried undeniable authority. "I just wanted to expose her true nature!" Daphne defended, but her voice had already lost its edge. "Expose her?
