She felt sad and bitter. She couldn’t tell if the “evidence” Irene brought was true or false, but it felt like thorns stabbing into her heart.

But she silently told herself she couldn’t let it break her. Even if Brandon still liked Zoe, so what?

As long as Brandon still wanted her, treated her well, and wanted to be her husband, she wouldn’t give up easily.

In the days that followed, Yvette was miserable.

Irene would occasionally send messages from unknown numbers to provoke her, constantly bringing up Zoe.

Every time Yvette blocked a number, Irene would just use another one to send more hurtful words.

And because Brandon was busy with work in the Middle East, though he still contacted her every day, he sometimes couldn’t reply to her messages immediately due to the time difference and emergencies.

“There are hospital records. Brandon once took Zoe to the gynecologist. He’s seen her private parts.”

“Brandon has liked Zoe since university.”

“Brandon never dated anyone until his thirties because of Zoe. If she hadn’t gotten a boyfriend first, would he have ever married you?”

“You’re just a tool Brandon married to deal with his family’s pressure, a tool to preserve the family lineage.”

The messages kept coming, one after another.

Eventually, she stopped reading them.

Even if she tried not to care, the insecurity and doubt grew deeper, like a wall taking root in her heart. Slowly, she stopped wanting to talk to Brandon.

Because the more Brandon expressed how much he missed her, the more it felt like a lie.

His tenderness and affection only made her think of Zoe, leaving her feeling bitter and unable

to find peace.

Night fell.

Yvette dragged her exhausted body home.

As soon as she walked in, Ginevra met her with a worried look. “Yvette, are you feeling okay?”

Yvette was startled. “I’m fine. Why?”

Ginevra looked her up and down and sighed softly. “My brother is really worried about you. He called me because you haven’t wanted to video chat with him the last two days. He sent you so many messages, and you only give him short, dismissive replies about being busy or tired.”

Yvette lowered her eyes and murmured guiltily, “I’m sorry, Ginevra. I really have just been busy.”

Ginevra took her hand and said softly, “Yvette, don’t lie to me. A video call or a few texts doesn’t take that much time. If someone cares, they’ll find the time no matter what. What’s really going on? Did my brother do something wrong?”

Yvette felt a wave of bitterness. Tears welled up in her eyes, her throat felt raw, and her heart ached with a mix of grievance and sadness.

She kept her head low so Ginevra wouldn’t see her crying, struggling to keep her emotions in check as she shook her head.

She thought she could handle it. She thought she wouldn’t care or get jealous.

But she had overestimated her own strength.

When it came to love, she wasn’t generous or open–minded at all.

She was becoming more greedy and selfish. She didn’t want Brandon to have a first love in his heart anymore.

She hated the person she was becoming.

“Yvette, what’s wrong?” Ginevra caught a glimpse of her tears and pulled her into a

sympathetic hug, stroking her shoulder. “Did my brother bully you? Tell me, I’ll definitely take your side. I won’t let him get away with it…”

Yvette buried her face in Ginevra’s shoulder and shook her head while sobbing. “No, Brandon is very good to me… really good.”

“Then why are you crying?” Ginevra gently rubbed her back. “Do you just miss him that much?”

Yvette nodded.

“Then why haven’t you been taking his video calls?”

“I’m sorry. I’ve just been in a bad mood. I was afraid I’d start crying if I saw him, so…”

“It’s okay, it’s okay. My brother said he’ll be back as soon as he finishes up over there. Probably in two or three days!”

Yvette nodded.

Ginevra gave a small smile. “Don’t be mad at him. He’s so far away. If he can’t see you or hear from you, he’ll be worried sick.”

“I know.”

Ginevra felt bad for her and wiped away her tears.

Even though she called her sister–in–law, Yvette was younger and had a soft, gentle personality. She tended to get overwhelmed when things went wrong.

She wouldn’t speak up when she felt wronged. Since she and Brandon had married without any emotional foundation and had a significant age gap, if they didn’t work through things during the honeymoon phase, it could really hurt their relationship later.

That was what Ginevra worried about most.

Even though she knew she was pushing, she hoped the couple would communicate more. “Will you take my brother’s call tonight?”

“Okay.”

Ginevra let out a soft sigh.

Late at night.

Yvette went back to her room, showered, put on some lotion, and lay on the bed with her phone, her mind a mess.

The phone buzzed twice.

She thought it was a message from Brandon, but when she opened it, it was another text from

Then, she sent Irene a photo of Irene and Deng Yu looking intimate, along with a message.
