Passion 241

Chapter 241

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 saw him, she excused herself from the director and rushed to his side. The media eagerly tumed their cameras toward him, eager to capture any interaction.

“Xav, he might be hiding around here somewhere. I’m really scared,” Daphne whispered, her body trembling slightly.

“I saw news about celebrities getting attacked during events like this. One person is bad enough, but today in the dressing room, I saw him with someone who looked like one of Claude’s bodyguards…”

Daphne couldn’t have imagined how accurately she had hit the mark.

“On the way here, I already had people checking everyone present,” Xavier replied. He then looked disapprovingly at the media reporters pointing their cameras at him. “Piss off if you don’t want to lose your job.”

The reporters hurriedly moved their cameras away. However, some of them continued to secretly livestream the scene.

Meanwhile, Yvette had stealthily taken Noah out of Fortian Manor with the help of the map. Before leaving, she left a letter for Xavier with two blood test reports beside it.

Pretending to still be resting with Noah, she closed the door and left through the back.

On the way, she carried Noah on her back. “Baby, tell me if you feel uncomfortable. Don’t hold it in, okay?”

“Okay,” Noah replied, clinging to her back. He felt bad. If he had been a healthy child, he could have. walked on his own.

“We’ll meet Ray soon if we keep going,” Yvette mentioned as she quickened her pace. Fortunately, her body had recovered enough to make the journey manageable.

Finally, she saw Ray, who quickly approached and took Noah into his arms. Yvette followed closely

behind, avoiding the surveillance cameras and getting into the car.

“Thank you,” Yvette uttered as she fastened Noah’s seatbelt. “Let’s head to the airport now.”

They had limited time, and they had to leave before Xavier’s people found them. As they drove to the airport, Noah quickly fell asleep from exhaustion.

Yvette checked her phone and finally saw Xavier’s message that read, “Wait for me.”

She deleted the message and then threw the phone out of the car window. Taking out the backup phone Ray had given her, Yvette opened a video app and immediately saw the live stream of Daphne’s opening

ceremony.

The livestream had tens of thousands of viewers, with many fans cheering Daphne on.

“Daph looks gorgeous!”

“Isn’t that Xavier, the male lead from Daph’s song?”

Soon, someone mocked, “What do you mean the male lead from Daph’s song‘? You mean the male lead from the song Daphne plagiarized? I’m gonna hurl.”

“Wonder how Xavier fell for a plagiarized plece of work. This person was quickly kicked out of the livestream.

Yvette only chuckled. She wondered if the livestream viewers would remain as calm when Andy showed
