After Death, Love Unveiled

Chapter 203

Elara initially wanted to mock her. After all, in her previous life, Daphne had done the same to her. But now, seeing Daphne looking so utterly defeated, Elara found herself unable to say anything harsh.

If Daphne had still been her old self, Elara could have retorted easily, but now she decided to let it go. She didn't bother arguing with someone like this.

Daphne glanced at Elara and then at the untouched dishes on her table. "If you're not eating that, can I have it?"

Seeing how pitiful she looked, Elara replied, "Go ahead."

Daphne took the plate eagerly. "Thanks." Her tone was soft and feeble as she spoke.

Elara chuckled lightly. "Are you really that desperate? You look like you haven't eaten in days."

Pressing her lips together, Daphne responded, "I'm working as a receptionist at Asher's company now. The pay's not much and with rent and everything.

"You know how expensive housing in Starfield City is. I can't even afford to eat out most of the time."

Elara had imagined that without her, Daphne would struggle. But she hadn't expected this.

After all, Daphne had graduated from Queensun University. Elara didn't expect her to be a receptionist.

Elara asked, "Didn't you major in finance?"

Daphne let out a helpless sigh. "You know I can't find a job. Jacqueline hates me to the core. The moment I make a move, she's on my case."

There had been a chance with Marcus, but after that incident where she was thrown out, she had returned to Brookfield, and Ba lot had happened to her since then.

Elara remarked, "Well, you brought this on yourself."

Daphne didn't argue. "Yes, I did. Back then, I was young and envious of you. Seeing you with Lysander, I thought to myself if only I could be like her.

"So when people said he was my boyfriend, I didn't deny it. I never imagined it would cause so much trouble."

"At least you're capable of self-reflection now," Elara said.
