After Death, Love Unveiled

Chapter

272

The day Daphne learned about Asher's death, she worked as a recycler. She had heard about his imprisonment but believed he would eventually be released. She had always held onto the idea that he would return once free to take her away.

After all, he'd done it so many times before. Even when he went to prison, he'd pushed her away to protect her, which, to her, proved that he must have loved her. Since they parted ways, these thoughts had never left her mind. "Daphne Wagner!" As she sorted through cardboard boxes, that annoying voice rang out again.

Daphne didn't respond, pretending she hadn't heard. However, the other person wasn't planning to let her off. Seeing that Daphne ignored her, Jacqueline grabbed her by the hair. "I'm talking to you! Why are you ignoring me? What, now that you're the CEO's wife, you think you're too good for me?"

Knowing that Asher was in prison and that Daphne had nowhere to go, Jacqueline, bored out of her mind, would often come over to stir up trouble for Daphne.

It was because Daphne had always acted arrogantly while at QuickClip, looking down on Jacqueline for no reason, making her suffer for even the most minor things. Soon enough, Daphne found herself crushed under Jacqueline's heel.

Daphne was no longer surprised by such scenes. When Jacqueline noticed she wasn't responding, she feared Daphne might be dead and ordered someone to lift her.

As they grabbed her arms, Daphne looked at Jacqueline with a hint of helplessness. "Jacqueline, after all these years, what exactly do you want from me? When will you finally let me go?"

"Let you go?" Jacqueline pressed her lips together. "Daphne, weren't you always so capable? And now you've ended up working at a recycling station? Is this really how you imagined things turning out?"

Daphne kept a stern expression. She hadn't wanted to end up in a place like this either, but news of her health status had spread ever since she divorced Asher. No company would hire her; they had decided to leave her with no way out.

In the end, she found herself in this situation. But Daphne would never give up. She believed she could wait for Asher to be released as long as she was alive. He would surely come to take her away.

Jacqueline looked at Daphne with a sneer. "Are you still hoping that Asher will come looking for you?"

"He always loved me!" Daphne said, her eyes reddened.

"He won't come for you!" Jacqueline said coldly. "He is dead."

Daphne looked at Jacqueline in disbelief. "No way... How could he be dead?"
