Daphne didn't dress up much that day. Instead, her attire was simple, and she'd let her long hair down too. She looked visibly pale. When she saw Yvette, she just smiled politely at the latter. She didn't look as arrogant as she had a few days ago. As Yvette took a seat, she drank a glass of water first. Meanwhile, Brooklyn said to everyone, "Hurry up and grab a seat, everyone! It's so rare for us to gather around as a whole class, so let's not just stand around."Then, everyone else started sitting down as well.The person sitting next to Yvette couldn't help staring at her and asking, "Yvvy, there was some news saying that you're a famous composer. Was it true?"Yvette nodded. "Yeah. It's true."When everyone else heard that, they all looked at her with a mix of emotions."Wow, Yvvy! That's so amazing!""Don't you have hearing difficulties? I remember our music teacher used to say that it was difficult for you to learn music.""Yeah! Who would've thought that you would act
Yvette smiled. "Of course not."Daphne immediately calmed down. "We could still be sisters," she said as she tried to link arms with Yvette.Yvette swiftly pulled away. "The reason I'm not angry is because you're not worth my anger. Listen up. If you want me dead, I won't let you have it easy either."Daphne stood frozen, unable to process what she had just heard.When Yvette returned from the restroom, Daphne had changed her approach."Yvette, you can come after me, but if you're really that capable, don't let Xavier or Claude help you," Daphne taunted. She thought that Yvette wouldn't be her match without the help of men.But Daphne was mistaken. Yvette had never even told Xavier that Daphne had been involved when Sunny kidnapped her."Don't worry." Yvette smirked rather mockingly. "I won't."After all, Daphne would soon realize that for herself.Hearing Yvette's reassurance, Daphne felt less afraid and walked ahead of her confidently with her head held high.When they retu
Daphne immediately regretted the words as they left her mouth. She had already offended too many people; she couldn't afford to anger Yvonne any further.Yvonne raised her hand again to slap her, but Daphne quickly grabbed it. "Yvonne, please don't do this. Everyone is watching."At that moment, Yvonne finally understood what Yvette had felt all along. She had never felt such regret. Indeed, it was only when people experienced betrayal themselves that they truly understood the pain."Daphne, from now on, we are no longer friends. You are my enemy."Everyone else acted as spectators. No one stepped in to break up the argument. After all, they had just seen how harshly Yvonne had spoken about Yvette.Even though Yvette and Xavier were already married, Yvonne had claimed that being unloved made Yvette the third party.Her lack of moral standards had alienated everyone. Now that Yvonne had been betrayed, no one was willing to help her.Daphne, desperate, tried to reason with her p
Yvette glanced at the car as well. She thought it looked familiar, but she didn't pay much attention to it.Just as she was about to leave, the car door opened, and Mark stepped out."Mrs. Lane." Mark strode toward Yvette purposefully.Most of the people present knew Mark as Xavier's assistant. Under everyone's watchful eyes, Yvette asked in surprise, "Mr. Xyrax? What brings you here?""Mr. Lane is here as well." As Mark glanced toward the car, the window rolled down, revealing Xavier's strikingly handsome profile. "He wants to take you home."Everyone couldn't help feeling envious after hearing what Mark said and glanced at Xavier. Even though it was rumored that Xavier was now a useless blind man, he appeared perfectly fine. Not only that, but the car he was in was said to be one of the most exclusive, nearly impossible to buy, globally limited editions.Yvette hadn't expected Xavier to come and pick her up. "Alright," she replied with a smile.After that, she bid farewell t
The two of them got out of the car one after the other. Before they could even reach the house, Jeana had already come over to greet them. "Xav, why are you only home now?" she asked. Her face lit up when she saw Xavier. However, her expression shifted as soon as she noticed Yvette getting out of the car with him."Oh, you're back too, Yvette. Weren't you at a class reunion?" Jeana asked, as if afraid Xavier didn't know about Yvette attending the gathering.Yvette was curious as to how Jeana knew about her attending the reunion. She'd only mentioned it to Noah. Could he have told Jeana? But he didn't like Jeana, so it didn't seem likely. Wendy was the only other person present when Yvette had told Noah.Wendy, who worked in the house, had recently gotten close to Jeana. When Jeana had gotten in a car accident not long ago, Wendy had even spoken up in her defense. Yvette had spent some time with Wendy and knew that the latter was a kind-hearted, simple woman without much guile.
Hearing that, Xavier commented, "If you want to learn something, I can teach you." He didn't think he was any less capable than Jeremiah. Unfortunately, Yvette didn't understand what he was implying. She wrapped herself tightly in the blanket, closed her eyes, and mumbled, "Okay, I'll ask you if I don't understand something."Xavier frowned slightly. However, worried that Yvette might get upset again, he decided not to say more. Since she liked going to work at Titan Corporation, she could go. However, he was still uneasy about Jeremiah.…Yvette set an alarm for the next day and woke up early to get ready for work. What she hadn't expected was to see Xavier up even earlier than her. In fact, he was already waiting for her downstairs."Xav, why haven't you gone to work yet?" Yvette asked, puzzled."I'll drive you to and from work from now on," Xavier replied. After all, it was normal for a husband to drive his wife to work. Plus, he wanted Jeremiah to see how close he and Yvette
In the car, Xavier was silent for a moment before he finally spoke up. "I didn't tell her to get out because she was wearing perfume."Yvette grew curious upon hearing that. "Why did you do it, then?""I'm taking you to and from work, not her." Xavier paused, then continued, "As for you wearing perfume, I can put up with it for a bit."After all, it was only a 30-minute drive at most. He could tolerate it.Yvette found his answer impeccable."So that's why. Don't worry, you won't have to put up with anything," she responded. She didn't like wearing perfume anyway.The two chatted sporadically throughout the drive. Before long, they arrived at the entrance of Titan Corporation. Then, Yvette stepped out of the car. Xavier had come in a Maybach today. Although it wasn't as expensive as the limited edition Rolls-Royce from the day before, it still caught the attention of many passersby, who began speculating about the car's occupants.Seeing this, Yvette thought to herself that it
Londyn and the others turned toward the voice. They saw Marlene, her eyes filled with displeasure, approaching with her assistant.Londyn and the three female employees instantly turned pale.After all, Marlene was infamous within the company for being unreasonable, ruthless, and having a strong dislike for other women. Her assistants had always been male, and the female subordinates she'd once had had all been driven out for one reason or another.Londyn, being quick on her feet as a secretary in the CEO's office, immediately explained, "Ms. Larson, perhaps you misheard. We weren't talking about you. We were talking about the former CEO's wife, who is now working as a secretary in the CEO's office."Londyn had done her homework on the preferences of the higher-ups. That was part of the reason she'd been able to hold her position. She knew that Marlene didn't like Yvette. In fact, anyone could guess that much. Both women were daughters-in-law of the Lane family and potentially co
