Chapter 423
Cynthia gave Yvette a report on the company's recent situation. "Boss, at this rate, we'll be able to have astronomical earnings in no time. "When are you coming back? Aaron visited recently and said he wanted to see you. He wants your help with composing music again." Aaron Miller was a well-known international singer, and he was dashing. Cynthia couldn't bear to reject his request all the time.
"It's still early in the year. Let's wait when I'm free," said Yvette.
Cynthia thought it was a shame. "Alright. I'll let him know later."
"Sure."
After they were done talking, they ended the call. Most of the tasks at the company abroad were handled by the employees, and all Yvette had to do was manage some of the important stuff.
Since it was too quiet in the room, she decided to turn on the television. As she went through the channels, the entertainment news suddenly caught her attention. She saw Daphne on the television for the first time in a while, and the latter was facing the camera as she apologized in tears.Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
"I would like to apologize to my fans. A video from my personal life has affected everyone, and I've let everyone down. I'm not expecting you to forgive me. All I'm hoping is to create more songs for the people who are continuing to care for me.
"Last but not least, I hope to tell my fans to always know who to trust. Don't ever put your trust in a random bastard. In the end, you're just going to get manipulated..."
Daphne pushed all the blame to men in the end.
Everyone seemed to have forgotten that she was the one who'd ruined someone else's relationship. All they knew was that she was a victim of the exposed video. Slowly, more people started speaking for her. Yvette silently watched the whole broadcast, thinking the world worked in amazing ways sometimes.
It seemed to her that there were no limits in the entertainment world. No matter what a celebrity did, netizens would still forgive them.
When Xavier came out of the kitchen after he was done doing the dishes, she'd already turned off the television.
He didn't remember what had happened with Daphne before. If he had, he would've definitely sent her back to Tirion Asylum again. "What were you watching?"
"Nothing." When Yvette remembered that Daphne was his first love, she became upset.
Xavier could tell from her tone that she was unhappy. He sat next to her without any hesitation and suggested, "Shall we go out for a walk?"
He thought she was still mad about
yesterday. "I really didn't send
anyone to spy on you. My man jus snapped the photos on his own accord I've already fired him." When he said that, the bodyguard, who was still keeping watch outside, suddenly got a bad feeling.
Yvette was pregnant, and she only managed to notice something important with what he had said. "Aren't you working for someone else now? Why do you still have bodyguards?"
Xavier was stunned, but he lied without showing any change in his emotions. "Mom was worried about us getting abducted, so she hired some for us."
It was normal for a rich family to hire bodyguards because they were worried about abduction. So, Yvette didn't suspect what he said.
At that moment, Tristan, who'd just arrived, was standing by the door. He almost burst out laughing when he heard what Xavier said.
Other than Tony, who was
absolutely ignorant, no one else
would dare to abduct Xavier. Tristan thought Xavier was amazing to be able to tell any sort of lie to pretend to be poor.
He knocked on the door and called out, "Xav."
When he saw Yvette, he was stunned for a moment. Then, he embarrassedly greeted her, "Hi, Yvette."
She was surprised when she heard
him greet her politely. Since she didn't want to put him in a spot, she answered with a hum. However, she didn't invite him into the house Instead, Tristan shamelessly entered the house himself.
"Are you two alone here? Shall we go out for a spin? It'll be my treat."
When he'd heard that Yvette and Xavier had returned to Lane Mansion, he'd immediately taken some time off and come for a visit.
