Chapter 190
âDonât worry. Iâll be responsible for everything,â Claude said.
Yerick knew he was pretending to be oblivious and stopped persuading him. âDo you want to hear some gossip? Xavierâs sweetheart got hurt.
âHeâs so good when managing his business, but why is he a bad judge of character? Why did he choose someone so terrible?â
âIâm not interested,â Claude said coldly.
Yerick fealized he had said something he shouldnât have. After all, Daphne wasnât Xavierâs only choice. He had also chosen the woman Claude loved to be his wife.
So, Yerick quickly changed the topic. âWhen are you going back?â
Claude looked out the window with his dark gaze. âIâm going to stay a little while longer.
Yerick couldnât help feeling worried. The scions of the Lander family had been eagerly targeting Claude for a long time.
Since he had been away for a long time, it would be bad if anyone else in the Lander family got the inheritance rights.
Daphne weakly lay on the hospital bed with bandages around her neck. âXav, Iâm scared. I thought I was really going to die,â she said with teary eyes.
Xavier heard what she said but didnât comfort her at all. Instead, he asked the bodyguard next to him, â Have you looked into it?â
âYes. At first, Ms. Reyesâ fan went to her room. The few men in black that came after him were Claudeâs men,â the bodyguard answered.
He didnât know Daphneâs fan was the same person who had caused Yvetteâs accident, so he didnât think about looking into that.
When Daphne heard what he said, she frowned slightly. âClaudeâs men⦠Could it be Yvvyâ¦â She stopped midâsentence and quickly changed her mind.
âImpossible. Why would Yvvy possibly do this? Iâve never hurt her before, so why would she want to take my life?â
She also hadnât expected Claudeâs men to be the ones who had taken Andy away. Daphne couldnât help feeling afraid. Fortunately, she had reacted quickly.
Of course, Xavier wouldnât go looking for Yvette after hearing what Daphne had said at that moment. After all, Claude and Yvette were different people!

âYou should rest well.â After saying that, Xavier was ready to leave.
Daphne hurriedly called out to him, âXav, Iâve heard that you havenât been to the office lately. Can you stay and keep me company?â
She hadnât just heard about Xavier not going to the office. She had also heard that he had been with

Yvette recently.
âEven if I stay here, I canât do anything to help you recover. Iâll make sure you have the best doctors taking care of you.â
âButâ¦â Daphne knew he hated it the most when other people tried to force him to do something. So, she bid him farewell instead.
âThereâs something I have to tell you. Iâve never talked to Claude before, so thereâs no reason for him to kill me out of the blue.â
Xavier said nothing else and walked out of the ward. After he left the hospital and got in his car, he called Mark..
Then, he asked the latter if Yvette had returned to Dewberry Manor. After he received a confirmation, he told the driver to drive him home.
While he was on his way back, he kept thinking about what Daphne had said. Xavier had been staying by Yvetteâs side recently, so he knew she had nothing to do with what happened to Daphne.
However, he didnât like Claude. He didnât like how there was another man coveting his wife!
After a while, Xavier finally arrived at Dewberry Manor. It was dark inside, and his heart skipped a beat.
He quickly got out of the car and ran to the entrance. When he opened the door, there was no light inside at all. He was surrounded by darkness.
Suddenly, he thought about what Yvette had told him before he left her earlier. âThink about this carefully. If you leave now, I wonât keep my word anymore.â
It felt like Xavierâs heart had stopped beating as he anxiously turned on the lights and dashed to her room. When he opened the door, it was empty inside. He didnât see her at all.
At that moment, he froze. He couldnât believe she was gone again.
How long would she be gone this time?
