Passion 243

Chapter 243

If this were true, Daphne’s future was definitely over.

On stage, Daphne was nearing a breakdown. Andy was destroying everything she had worked so hard for!

She completely lost her mind. “You bastard! You deserved to be deceived. Why don’t you just go die? A man as incapable and irresponsible as you doesn’t deserve me!

“Do you realize this video will ruin me? How is a ruthless man like you my ex? I must have been too blind to judge people well.”

Tears streamed down Daphne’s face, yet she continued to push all the blame onto Andy. As she accused him, she looked helplessly in Xavier’s direction.

Surprisingly, some fans online were actually buying her story. Comments started popping up.

“If I were Daphne, I wouldn’t acknowledge this ex either. He’s awful.”

“Yeah. It’s a bit too extreme to get revenge after a breakup.”

Although a few people were swayed, most viewers could tell right from wrong. If what Andy said wast true, Daphne was not only involved in multiple crimes. It was hard to believe that someone who debuted with a pure, innocent image and as a pitiable orphan could be so insidious.

The police finally arrived and put an end to the chaos, but it was too late. Daphne and Andy were taken away together.

As she got into the car, she sent a message to Xavier.

Xavier, now back in his car, opened his phone and saw her message.

“Xav, you owe me again.”

Owe her, she said?

With a grim expression, Xavier made a call to the PR department. No matter what, Lane Group’s reputation couldn’t be affected. This incident not only impacted the company but also had repercussions for him personally.

Daphne had always publicized her relationship with Xavier. Now that someone had publicly played an intimate video of her, as her rumored partner, Xavier would be left with a tarnished reputation.

At the office, Mark also saw the livestream and immediately started crisis management. However, it wasn’t as smooth as before this time. He had to threaten several media outlets.

Despite his efforts, the livestream had already gone viral. Someone had secretly put in a lot of money to make that happen!

Meanwhile, Claude and Yerick were having a drink together. “It’s been a long time since I’ve seen Xavier take a fall like this. The last time was after his marriage,” Yerick remarked with a laugh. –

Claude took a sip of his drink. “Don’t mention his marriage anymore.”

Yerick realized he had touched a sore spot and stopped talking, focusing on his drink instead. After a few glasses, he looked out the window. “It’s snowing really heavily.”

What had started as sleet in the morning had turned into a heavy snowfall, quickly covering the streets in a blanket of white.

Although Xavier was in a foul mood, the sight of the snow reminded him of Yvette’s smiling face that morning when she had mentioned the snowfall.

He took out his phone but saw no message from Yvette. Assuming she was with the child, he typed, “The snow is getting heavy. How about we build a snowman later?”

Who would have thought that Xavier, who usually despised such meaningless activities, would be thinking about building a snowman?

As time passed without a response from her, Xavier grew increasingly uneasy. This sense of unease had been particularly strong over the past few days. Just as he was about to call Yvette, he got a call from the butler at Fortian Manor.

“Something bad happened, Mr. Lane. Ms. Snyder and Noah are missing.”
