Yvette watched the news and saw the press conference held by Lane Group. It was an announcement that Xavier had successfully acquired Snyder Group. James' company no longer existed in the world.

Things on Xavier's end had been extra pleasant lately. He had acquired Snyder Group and gotten his revenge.

"The Snyder family finally got what they deserved for tricking you into that marriage three years ago." Tristan chuckled.

Yet, he changed the topic in the next instant. He asked Xavier, "Xav, has Deaf Yvvy approached you during the past few days?"

Xavier froze halfway through signing a document. He didn't know why, but people around him kept mentioning Yvette these days.

"No," he replied coldly.

That shocked Tristan. After all, how could Yvette not do anything when something this massive had happened to her family?

With that in mind, he spoke again. "Could it be that she's finally come around? I heard her family has been looking everywhere for her. Nobody knows where she's gone-"

He kept blabbering on.

Xavier frowned, feeling utterly annoyed. "Get out!"

Tristan jolted. That was when he realized that Xavier was furious. Not daring to say another word, Tristan bolted out of the CEO's office.

Once outside, he took his phone and called his assistant, Avery Fitzpatrick. "Have you found Yvette?"

"Yes, she's in a small hotel in Hexim Pass," answered Avery.

Tristan had Avery send him the location before he drove there.

He refused to let Yvette off the hook so easily. So what if she was willing to divorce Xavier now? She had already prevented Xavier and Daphne from being together for over three years!

Besides, Daphne had saved Tristan's life once, so he owed her.

It rained outside.

Yvette finished her volunteer work and picked up her medication from the hospital. Then, she held an umbrella while walking back to the hotel.

There were very few people on the road.

Tristan drove his car but kept his eyes on Yvette's slim back. He deliberately sped up as he drove past her, sending a puddle of rainwater splashing onto her.

Yvette shot him a blank stare.

Tristan happened to meet her emotionless gaze through his rearview mirror. He didn't know why, but he felt inexplicably nervous.

Yvette recognized Tristan's luxurious, dark gray Bugatti. Yet, she retracted her gaze and pretended not to notice him.

Even so, Tristan refused to stop there. He deliberately slowed his car and followed her. "Hey, Deaf Yvvy. So, you have a temper now, huh?

"You're not even going to greet me now? Didn't you used to love greeting me? Didn't you enjoy tickling my fancy?"

Yvette remained stoic while the former mocked her.

She used to do everything to win over those around Xavier, including his friends. It was all because she liked him. She had figured that Xavier's family and friends would one day accept her.

Alas, it seemed she had been too naïve.

At the previous gathering, Tristan had declared that he was Daphne's friend.

He couldn't care less about maintaining his gentlemanly, upper-class image when siding with Daphne. He had insulted Yvette and called her shameless. In the end, he had also thrown her into the pool, leaving her to die.
