Back at the anniversary celebration, Xavier looked at Shannon as she offered him one glass of wine after the other. Then, he noticed Daphne fro
the corner of his eye and figured out what was going on.
“I still have work to do tonight, so I can’t drink anymore.” He rejected the glass of wine.
Shannon noticed that he was a little buzzed and shot Daphne a meaningful glance.
The latter immediately approached Xavier and supported him. “Since you drank some wine tonight, let me take you home, Xav.”
No matter what happened that night, she was determined to sleep with him!
Xavier was still sober. Just as he was about to pull his hand back, his gaze was fixed on a graceful dress from afar. A beautiful woman was wearing it. Xavier didn’t push Daphne away, Instead, he looked intently at Yvette.
When Yvette showed up, a lot of people started to notice her. She looked so outstanding that no one in the huge crowd recognized her as the hearing–impaired woman from the Snyder family.
When Shannon’s eyes caught Yvette, she was stunned.
In the past, Yvette hadn’t known how to dress up. Although she was beautiful, she hadn’t been attractive enough for most people. At that moment, she looked like an entirely different person.
She approached Xavier and Daphne under everyone’s strange looks. “Ms. Reyes, I’m here to take Xav home.” That sentence alone was enough to make everyone look at her.
“Isn’t that Yvette Snyder, Xavier’s wife?”
“That’s Yvette? How did she become so gorgeous?”
“She’s always been gorgeous. It’s just that she seldom appeared in public before.”
“She looks prettier than Daphne. Since she’s here now, doesn’t that mean Daphne is interfering in their relationship?”
Daphne heard what the crowd was saying. She felt so embarrassed that her face turned red.
At that moment, Xavier pulled his hand away as well and looked deeply at Yvette. “Why did you come down?”
Seeing how he was acting, Yvette figured that the drugs hadn’t kicked in yet. “I saw you drinking a lot just now, and I was worried you might get too drunk. So, I came looking for you.”
Their conversation made Daphne feel
n more awkward. When she heard what Yvette said, she
realized that Yvette had been there for a long time.
Xavier couldn’t help but smile. “Wait for me outside first.”
“Sure.” Yvette turned around and headed outside.
Just as she reached the entrance, a cold–looking man in a suit walked over and bumped into her.

Then, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes. “Yvette?”
Yvette stopped in her tracks to look at him. The man had a pair of sharp eyes, and his facial features were good–looking. It was a face that wasn’t easy to forget..
If her memory served her well, he was the third son of the Banks family, Quentin Banks.
Quentin was one of Xavier’s friends, and he had stopped bullying her after she had married Xavier. However, that didn’t mean he had ever helped her. When Tristan had bullied her, Quentin had just wanted from the side.
“You’re mistaking me for someone else.” Since they weren’t friends, she didn’t want to look for trouble. Yvette lowered her head and quickly walked past Quentin.
He didn’t expose her and just meaningfully watched her as she left.
Back at the celebration, Xavier started to feel strange, and he immediately understood what was going on. Something was wrong with the wine he had just drunk!
He coldly looked at Daphne from the side and said with a low voice, “I don’t care what my mom has said to you. I don’t want this to happen ever again.
She was confused for a second before she finally understood what he meant. “Please don’t be angry, Xav. Madam Shannon just wants to have a grandchild.”
Right after she said that, he snapped, “If she wants you to die, would you do it too?”
Daphne was speechless. Just as he was about to leave, she grabbed the edge of his shirt. Then, she spoke so softly that only he could hear her voice.
“Xav, I really love you, and I can do anything for you. The same can’t be said about Yvette. She was pampered all her life, and she knows nothing about love.
“She’s spent so many years abroad with Claude, so who’s to say that they aren’t together now? As for me, I’ve always stayed pure for you.”
