After Tristan left, Daphne's miserable cries echoed throughout the room.

Those men only left after some time, and Daphne was injured so badly that she collapsed into a pool of blood.

Her gaze was empty, and she was upset. She didn't understand why Yvette had received all the good things in life and why she couldn't replace Yvette to get some credit. Since she was hurt badly, she had no choice but to lay on the ground and stay there. Tristan's men didn't kill her on purpose so that she would suffer in pain.

That day, she was in agony. After an uncertain amount of time, the door was opened again right when she was about to pass out.

She instinctively begged, "I'm sorry. I was wrong..."

A man approached her in his shiny leather shoes. Daphne got on all fours and bowed to him. She didn't dare to look at him at all. "I won't do it again, Tris. I'll apologize to you now." "Daphne, it's me." When the man spoke in front of her, he sounded familiar to her.

She stopped what she was doing and looked up. "Xav? Aren't you..." Before she could say the word "blind", the man spoke again.

"I'm Jeremiah, not Xavier. We've met before." Back then, she had thought that he was Xavier.

Then, Daphne finally noticed that Jeremiah didn't feel like Xavier at all. "Are you Xav's twin brother?"

"Yeah."
