NovelEnglishIt was snowing heavily in Tirion, especially after the festival.
In her rented apartment, Daphne couldn't help but feel upset while she looked at the people outside having fun.
She could've been standing in the spotlight outside as well, but she couldn't do it because of Yvette. When she
noticed the trending news had been removed, she clenched her phone tightly.
"I've finally gotten to where | am today. Am | going to beca nobody again?"
At that moment, her phone started ringing. She took a look at it and saw it was Jeremiah calling her. Daphne
immediately tensed up. "Hello, Mr. Jeremiah."
"You have the photos and trending news now. When are you going to see Yvette?" He couldn't wait any longer.
"Mr. Jeremiah, it isn't that | don't want to see her. I'm just afraid."
"About what?"
"Tristan has been visiting Xavier a lot. I'm worried about being seen by him..."
She wanted someone to back her up and make her feel safe. Jeremiah had only made her hide in a corner of the
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtcity and pretend to be dead. She'd had enough of it.
At first, she didn't understand why Jeremiah would want her to break Xavier and Yvette up. However, she had
realized what was going on at that moment. Jeremiah liked Yvette! Since that was the case, she had to make full
use of him. Jeremiah wasn't a fool either. He knew what she was implying. "Don't worry. Witharound, Tristan
wouldn't dare to do anything to you when he sees you."
"Good. In that case, I'll proceed with our plans tomorrow."
"Okay." Then, he ended the call.
Just as Jeremiah was about to ask Jackie to bring him a glass of water in the office, he remembered that he'd told
her to take a break. So, he had no choice but to ask his secretary instead.
After a while, a glass of warm water was placed in front of him. Jeremiah noticed that the person who'd brought it
had her nails done nicely. He looked up and saw Zoey's beautiful face. "Why are you here?"
"Madam Shannon toldyou were working at the company, so | decided to visit. | wanted to accompany you,"
she answered.
He didn't drink the water. Instead, he placed the glass aside. "There's no need for that. You should go back and
rest now." He looked up at her again Somehow, he sounded both gentle and harsh as he asked, "You still haven't
recovered yet, right?"
Zoey was stunned. When she thought about how she'd been taken advantage of by a group of men, she
clenched her fists tightly and started trembling. "Jerry, I..." "Go back and rest." He gently reminded her again.
Although he sounded kind, she still felt terrified for sreason and didn't dare to reject his idea. "Sure."
After she left the office, she headed
to the washroom. She'd never felt so terrible before. She turned on the tap and washed her hands and neck
with the cold water. It was as if she
could make herself fee that
way.

At that moment, a female employee was done using the toilet. She saw how Zoey was scrubbing her neck and
hands so hard that the skin was peeling. "Are you alright?" the employee asked out of goodwill. When Zoey
heard that, she looked up and said, "Get lost."
The employee immediately ran away
in fear. After she had left, Zoey hurriedly took a photo of her bruised hands and sent it to Gemma. "I hate myself,
Mom. | could've prevented Yvette from seducing Jerry if
weren't so useless."
Gemma was at Tirion Orphanage at that moment, asking sprivate matters. When she received the text, she
frowned slightly and excused herself to the washroom.
After entering the washroom, she called Zoey.
"Zoey, I've told someone to look into Yvette. The stuyou've mentioned is just a shell company. You're all |
have, so please don't do anything stupid.
"If you want Jeremiah, I'll make him like you and stop him from getting close to Yvette. Then, I'll teach her a
lesson when I'm free!"
