Xavier's expression changed slightly. "I'm not returning them. Take them or leave them," he uttered, kicking one of the gifts aside as he headed to the bathroom.Once inside, he felt an intense itchiness all over his body. He took two more antihistamines before showering. Meanwhile, Yvette sat outside, observing the room. There must have been at least a hundred gifts in there.After marrying Xavier, she had used most of her personal assets to quietly support his company, so she hadn't been able to afford many things she had liked. She would make lists, noting down the things she wanted and their prices. Looking back, she realized how foolish and deeply in love she had been. Xavier could easily afford everything with a snap of his fingers, yet she had been saving money to ensure his business ventures went smoothly.Xavier took a long time in the shower. When he finally emerged, Yvette was shocked to see his face and body covered in hives."Xavier, what's wrong?" she asked."It'
Xaver paused when Yvette quickly moved away from him. He then gently reassured her. "I'm fine now. Why did you sit here all night, silly?"He had asked Mark to bring Yvette into the ward yesterday, only for her to adamantly refuse him.His gentle tone made Yvette doubt herself again, wondering if she had misunderstood everything. If they were twins, their names couldn't be exactly the same, right? And from what she knew of Xavier now, he would never tolerate being replaced by someone else, let alone be a substitute for someone."Xavier, we've known each other since childhood, haven't we?" Yvette asked.Thinking that she was still in shock due to what happened to him last night, he squatted down and hugged her. "Of course. We've known each other for over a decade now."Tears welled up involuntarily in Yvette's eyes. "Yes… It's been more than a decade..."How could she have mistaken him for somebody else throughout all those years?Mark was standing not far away from them. This
After Daphne was discharged from the hospital in Tirion, she had to prepare for the opening ceremony of her new TV show tomorrow. She sent Xavier several messages, but he did not reply.Yvonne walked over. "Daph, all the media arrangements for tomorrow are set. I guarantee your new show will be a hit even before it airs.""Yvonne, thank you," Daphne uttered with a sweet smile."No need for thanks between us," Yvonne replied before an idea hit her. "For your opening ceremony, you can invite a few people, right? I invited Yvette for you. Let her see that she can't match up to you now."Daphne didn't respond directly but said, "There's no need for that. Her family went bankrupt, and she's divorced. She's already pitiful as is.""You're too kind. Don't worry. I've got a plan to teach her a lesson and make sure you get your revenge." Yvonne didn't expect Yvette would accept the invitation. Daphne didn't say anything more. Yvonne said, "I'm going to the restroom. Please let my boyfr
Zachary hadn't gone to kindergarten for two days. Meanwhile, Tristan had been working from home while spending time with him.Kiki was being persistently noisy outside, and Tristan had been ignoring her. However, when he heard her threaten to find Archibald, Tristan finally let her in and agreed to a paternity test.She cried her eyes out when she hugged Zachary. "My dear son! You must have been so scared!"Zachary had to admit that, while Kiki wasn't good at much else, her acting skills were impressive. He patted her shoulder and said, "Mom, don't cry."Seeing the two of them together, Tristan couldn't believe that Zachary wasn't his son. The paternity test would take at least four to five days, and during this time, Zachary would have to stay with him."Tristan, you better keep your word, or I'll have Mr. Shaw Senior come over and demand justice for me," Kiki threatened.She knew that the star of Tirion, Tristan, did fear someone—Archibald, who just happened to like her."Fine
Xavier immediately called back when he looked at that text message. However, no one answered his call.Annoyed, he deleted the message.Yvette was already lying in bed by the time Xavier returned to Dewberry Manor.After taking a shower, Xavier slipped into bed and pulled her into his arms. He started showering Yvette with kisses at the thought of Tristan having a child.Yvette couldn't stop him at all.…The next morning, Yvette listened to the sound of water from the bathroom and got out of bed. She dressed in her usual clothes, freshened up, and waited for Xavier with a small bag on her back.It wasn't long before Xavier came out, dressed in casual clothes which made him look much more relaxed. When they walked out of the manor, it was cold as a drizzle fell.As they were about to leave for Fortian Manor, Xavier's phone rang. Seeing it was Daphne calling, he hung up the call. Shortly after, a message came in. "Xav, please answer the phone. Something major happened."Yvette
At that moment, Claude and Yerick were drinking in a nearby high-rise, ready to enjoy the spectacle.Yerick thought Claude must have gone insane for risking a conflict with Xavier over a woman. "Bro, the moment we do this, it'll be hard for us to grow in this country in the future."Claude looked at him. "Is it easy now?"Yerick couldn't help but smile. Indeed, Xavier had nearly blocked off all of Claude's opportunities. Fortunately, Xavier didn't know that Yerick and Claude were partners; otherwise, Yerick would face the same fate too."I can't wait to see Xavier fall flat on his face. But that Daphne chick sure is annoying."Yerick, unlike other men, owned a film company and disliked actresses who tried to climb the social ladder by any means.The opening ceremony began at 10:00 am. Many people were invited, and the media extensively covered the event and even broadcast it live. Fans and onlookers flooded in. When Xavier arrived, the media went into a frenzy.As soon as Daphne
The opening ceremony officially began at 10:00 am. Meanwhile, as per Claude's arrangements, Yvette was already on a plane, missing the spectacle.Inside the film city, the new TV show's announcement was originally supposed to be made by David, who was directing it. However, because of Daphne's involvement, she became the star of the day. David didn't actually like her, as she was an actress without any real talent, but he had no choice but to endure due to capital influence.Dressed in a haute couture gown, Daphne took the stage to give the opening speech. Her gaze occasionally drifted toward Xavier, who was not far away.She didn't notice Andy walking toward her with a large bouquet.Donning a suit, Andy no longer had a look of admiration in his eyes when he looked at Daphne.Daphne finally noticed him when he was about 30 feet away from her. She hurriedly looked around for her bodyguards, only to find that they had already been subdued by Claude's men.Amidst the crowd's conf
If this were true, Daphne's future was definitely over. On stage, Daphne was nearing a breakdown. Andy was destroying everything she had worked so hard for!She completely lost her mind. "You bastard! You deserved to be deceived. Why don't you just go die? A man as incapable and irresponsible as you doesn't deserve me! "Do you realize this video will ruin me? How is a ruthless man like you my ex? I must have been too blind to judge people well."Tears streamed down Daphne's face, yet she continued to push all the blame onto Andy. As she accused him, she looked helplessly in Xavier's direction.Surprisingly, some fans online were actually buying her story. Comments started popping up."If I were Daphne, I wouldn't acknowledge this ex either. He's awful.""Yeah. It's a bit too extreme to get revenge after a breakup."Although a few people were swayed, most viewers could tell right from wrong. If what Andy said was true, Daphne was not only involved in multiple crimes. It was ha
