Regret Came Too Late

Meanwhile, Daphne had been leaning against Tristan's chest after they left.

"Tris, didn't you know? Jodie hates Grace so much that she would kill her if she could. If you work with Grace, it won't end well for you," she said.

Daphne never felt valued in the Yule family until she finally met Tristan. She heard rumors that Tristan was a relative of the Sidler family, but she wasn't sure about the exact connection.

Still, it was the Sidler family. If they were willing to support Tristan in his current position, it was clear that they held him in high regard.

Usually, Daphne could only rely on sucking up to Jodie to make connections with those public figures. To put it bluntly, she was nothing more than Jodie's lapdog, who either got scolded or ridiculed most of the time.

Daphne had been enduring all the humiliation, just so she could climb higher in the elite circle and stand on equal footing with Jodie.

She didn't like being looked down on like this.

But the reality of the circle was very harsh. The so-called marriages were all based on being well-matched in social status. Daphne barely existed in the Yule family, so why would anyone want to be tied to someone like her?

Just when she felt hopeless, she met Tristan and unintentionally overheard something about his connection with the Sidler family.

Daphne's expression was full of sweetness. Tristan would surely rise to the top, and she would eventually be recognized by everyone.
