Daphne admitted that Jeremiah had sent her to attend to Xavier. However, she didn't provide Yvette with all the details. Yvette felt her heart go cold. She hadn't expected Jeremiah to resort to such tactics. Keeping her word, she released Daphne.

Daphne left the basement in a disheveled state, and as soon as she was outside, she booked a ticket straight out of Tirion. She knew that if she didn't leave now, both Tristan and Jeremiah wouldn't spare her.

Xavier was aware that Yvette had let Daphne go but didn't pursue the matter. After all, someone like Daphne posed no real threat to him.

If it hadn't been for Jeremiah and the Lumber family conspiring against him, she wouldn't have been able to get close to him in the first place.

Yvette shared the same opinion-Daphne's only talent was hurting others with her words. Someone like her would eventually meet someone who wouldn't hesitate to retaliate, so there was no need to dirty their own hands or risk criminal charges. When Yvette went outside, where snow was falling heavily, Xavier asked her, "Did you replace out everything?"

Yvette nodded. "Yes."

"Give me your phone," Xavier said again.

Yvette, puzzled, handed it to him anyway.

Xavier only remembered that he couldn't see when he took her phone. He lowered his voice. "Delete Jeremiah's contact information."

"Huh?" Yvette didn't understand why he made such a request.

"If a woman pursuing me sent you to another man's bed and planned to expose you to the world, do you think I should still have that person's contact information?" Xavier had learned over the past few months that it was better to explain things to Yvette rather than issue orders.

Yvette immediately understood where he was coming from. However, she had a different perspective.

"If we're starting over, then yes, you shouldn't have that person's contact information. But if we don't end up together, then it's perfectly normal for you to keep it." Adults always pursued maximum benefit. Since they were both adults, and if they were no longer married, neither could stop the other from pursuing happiness. Xavier felt a pang in his heart. He just remembered that Yvette had said that she needed to reconsider.

"So, is Jeremiah an option for you?"

Yvette's expression changed slightly

at his words. Of course not." It wasn't only because she already had two children and was pregnant with Xavier's child. The fact that Xavier and deremiah were brothers made it impossible for her to accept the latter.

Xavier relaxed a bit upon hearing that.

Yvette continued, "I plan to call him and make things clear."

Xavier frowned but finally said, "Do as you wish."

With that, Yvette called Jeremiah. The call was quickly answered. "Yvvy, how are you? Did Xav come back?" Jeremiah asked, pretending to be unaware of the situation. "I know everything that happened last night," Yvette replied calmly.

She had always felt like she owed Jeremiah because she hadn't been able to clearly distinguish between him and Xavier.

Jeremiah was silent for a moment before saying softly, "I'm sorry I disappointed you." Yvette was momentarily choked up.

Looking out the window, Jeremiah continued, "I didn't want to ruin your relationship with Xav. I just think it's not worth it for you to stay with him. Why choose someone who has hurt you? You're such a good person; you deserve someone better, right?"

Xavier, who had excellent hearing, couldn't listen to Jeremiah anymore. He snatched the phone and demanded angrily, "So you're saying you're that better person?"

Jeremiah realized that Xavier was

beside Yvette and smirked. "Xav, did I say anything wrong? You've been married for three years, and Yvvy took fertility medicine for three years. She even developed depression because of it. Someone like you doesn't deserve to be with her.

"I was just trying to help her see your true nature. If you really care about her, you should let her go. Also, have you told Yvvy that you regained your memory?"
