"Yes, Colin Tanner," Xylle said softly, her head lowered, her eyes glimmering with a touch of sadness. "After we returned from Yeternia, the Tanner family took me back to Zovince. That's when I met my uncle, Teddy, He was very kind to me, always wearing a gentle smile. It was he who told me that I was the daughter of his late brother, Colin."

Emmanuel didn't interrupt her story, even though he didn't believe Teddy was as benevolent as he appeared. He just wanted to hear the full story first.

He's always been so kind to me that I find it hard to believe those rumors." 79%

Emmanuel didn't push the issue further. After all, there was never any solid. evidence of Teddy killing his brother. Even if there had been whispers back then, no one had ever produced real proof.

"Is that what you wanted to tell me, Emmanuel?" Xylie asked, her curiosity piqued. "Why are you in Zovince?"

Women, even shy and reserved ones, were always curious about the men they admired, and Xylie was no different.

"One of the main reasons I'm here is to deal with Teddy Tanner," Emmanuel replied, not hiding his intentions.
