Jeremiah looked at the message with a cold expression. He had known beforehand that Daphne had failed. The people he had stationed outside the hotel had been dealt with by Mark's men, and the media had not gone to the hotel. As Jeremiah put his phone down, he let out a few bad coughs.

"Mr. Jeremiah, should we get the doctor?" a subordinate asked.

Jeremiah shook his head. "It's fine." Afterward, he picked up his phone again, navigated to Yvette's contact information, and stared at it for a long time before closing the page.

At the same time, Yvette, who'd heard from Xavier that everything last night had been orchestrated by Jeremiah, was skeptical. After all, Jeremiah had also sent someone to look for him. If it hadn't been for the photo he'd shown her, she wouldn't have found Xavier. "I want to see Daphne," she said.

"Okay."

Locked in the dark basement, Daphne was filled with anxiety. She wondered if there was anyone left who could come to her rescue.

...

Suddenly, the basement door was pushed open from the outside, letting in light.

Daphne instinctively shielded her eyes from the intense light. It took a while to adjust her vision. Finally, she saw Yvette. Her eyes widened in shock.

Daphne was in a disheveled state, her hair a mess. Seeing her thrown into this dirty place, Yvette felt no sympathy for her.

The scene now was reminiscent of when they had first met. Yvette had gone to an orphanage with James for charity, and Daphne, dressed in rags, had stood among the other orphans.
