“Daph, what are you planning to do now? Did Mr. Lane say when you’re going to get married?”

Yvonne clenched her jaw. “If there’s no other choice, I’ll expose Yvettaonline so that she’ll die a social death.”

Daphne got up and began trimming the flower arrangement beside her.

“Don’t.” She paused and explained. “That will affect Xav, too.”

Yvonne subsided. When she was gone, Daphne snapped the scissors viciously. An entire rose fell to the floor.

Whether it was now or in the past, Xavier had never mentioned marriage. Sometimes, she had no choice but to admit that love always made itself known. Xavier did not seem to have ever had feelings for her.

She had been full of confidence when she first returned and announced that she would pursue Xavier. Now she was his girlfriend, but it was just a label. She was an utter joke.

At this thought, she swept the vase off the table. It shattered

n the ground, and the flowers scattered all over the floor. Daphne’s hand had been cut and was bleeding.

She looked at the blood that was oozing out and suddenly seemed to think of something. She picked up a shard off the floor and viciously cut her wrist. After that, she sent photos and a message to Xavier.

“Xav, it hurts so much. I really want to see you. Can you come and see me?”

Half

an hour later, Xavier rushed over to Northsky Apartments. He found Daphne dressed skimpily as she sat on the floor. The blood from her wrist was dripping onto the floor, forming blotches that looked like bright red flowers.

He frowned. “Why did you hurt yourself?”

Seeing that he had come, Daphne struggled to get up and threw herself into his arms.

“Xav, you want me, don’t you? Please! Even if I can’t marry you, I’m begging you to want me!”

There was disgust in Xavier’s eyes as he pulled her off of him. “Have you forgotten what I said to you?”

Daphne’s cheeks burned at his rejection, but she did not give up. “I haven’t forgotten. You said that since I once saved Madam Shannon, you’ll treat me well and give me anything I want!

“Xav, weren’t things between us good when we were dating? Everyone said that we were a beautiful couple.

“Why don’t you want things between us to continue? Is it really because of Yvette? Didn’t you say that you didn’t like her?”

The mention of Yvette was a sore point for Xavier. His mood dropped at once. Daphne had only given his mother a blood transfusion, but she was now demanding more and more.

The final shred of his patience disappeared. “I’ll give you two choices. One is to be Mrs. Lane in name only, just like Yvette was in the past. I won’t give you any other help.

s you want.

“Your second choice is to maintain the current situation. I’ll give you whatever resources you

He knew that Daphne wanted to be his wife. She hesitated.

Before coming back, she had investigated Yvette, She had been more like the Lanes‘ maid rather than Xavier’s wife.

However, Daphne could not be satisfied with maintaining their current relationship! She did not speak for a long time.

Xavier looked at her wrist again. It wasn’t a deep cut, and he knew that she was just putting on an act for him. He turned to leave.

Daphne hugged him from behind once more. “Xay, I don’t want to choose. Don’t leave. I’m begging you. Just stay here with me tonight, okay?

“I’m afraid to be all by myself. Don’t you know what people are saying about me on the Internet right now? They say that I’m just a clown and that you don’t like me at all.”

Xavier did not feel any tenderness toward her at the sound of her tearful voice. He only felt impatient. He pulled her hand away roughly.
