Everyone in the private room looked over at the door. For a moment, the room was eerily silent.

Yvette immediately caught sight of Xavier in the middle of the room. His eyes were clear and bright. He was clearly not drunk.

She knew that she had been tricked by Daphne.

When Xavier saw Yvette, his pupils constricted.

Everyone else in the room looked awkward, including Tristan, who had been the most vocal in getting Xavier to accept Daphne's confession earlier.

Yvette shouldn't have gone there.

Daphne was the first to break the silence. "Please don't get the wrong idea, Yvvy. Tristan was joking. Xavier and I are just friends."

Before Yvette could answer, Xavier stood up impatiently. "There's no need to explain it to her."

Then, he stalked over to Yvette. "What are you doing here?"

"I thought you were drunk, so I came to take you home," Yvette answered truthfully.

Xavier scoffed. "You really didn't retain anything I told you, did you?"

Lowering his voice, he said softly so that only she could hear him, "Are you here to remind everyone that I was tricked into marrying you three years ago? Did you think they forgot?" Yvette was stunned.

Xavier gave her a cold look. "Stop seeking attention. You're only making me hate you more."

With that, he turned away, leaving Yvette standing alone.

Yvette stared after his retreating figure, unable to snap out of her shock.

None of the other scions in the room took pity on her when they saw Xavier ignoring her.

Tristan even had no qualms in telling Daphne, who was feigning distress, "You're too kind, Daphne. You didn't need to explain anything.

"If Yvette hadn't scammed Xav, he would've married you in the first place. You wouldn't have needed to suffer abroad as well."

Despite the constant ringing in her ears, Yvette could still hear every word clearly.

She knew better than anyone that even if Xavier hadn't married her, he wouldn't have married Daphne. Daphne was a nobody with no background, after all.

Daphne was well aware of this as well. That was why she had chosen to break up with Xavier and leave the country.

How had everything turned out to be Yvette's fault?
