SWNOVELS Chapter Passion 11
Chapter 11
About a month into summer, the areas to the south often experienced heavy torrential rain.
In the days following Yvette's discharge from the hospital, Claude made time to keep her company.
Yvette suffered from the aftereffects of taking a copious amount of sleeping pills.
r physical condition had
worsened compared to before.
However, she was in good spirits. Even when she didn't feel like eating, she would force herself to eat as much as she could.
She never mentioned Xavier's name when Claude was around
-not even once.
Perhaps she knew she might succumb to the pain if she brought him up. She didn't want to subject Claude to negative emotions because of her, either. When Yvette was alone, she would stare at Xavier's WhatsApp profile picture. She wondered how she should bring up the topic of divorce with him again.
One day, as Yvette was returning home after buying groceries, someone stood in her way and blocked her path.
It was Daphne. She had a pair of sunglasses and a mask on. Her long hair draped over her shoulders. She had put on a garish dress and a pair of high heels. She exuded an imposing air as she stood there.

asked, raising her brows.
Yvette hadn't expected to run into Daphne there.
The two of them found a quiet café and sat down by the window. Large raindrops peppered the window and slid down soundlessly.
Daphne took off her mask and revealed her exquisite face. " Don't worry. I heard from Tris that Terrence took money
from Mr. Lorimer and fled
country with Madam Yara.
They won't bother you anymore."
Yvette had already heard about this from Claude. Since she hadn't married Liam as agreed, Yara and Terrence had hurriedly fled abroad on that very day itself for fear of retaliation. Who would have thought that the Snyders, who were once rich and powerful, would end up in such a predicament just for 300 million dollars?
Yvette listened silently, unfazed by the information. "What exactly do you want to say?"
Daphne's glance fell on Yvette's abdomen subtly-her pregnancy hadn't yet started showing.
She clenched her fists for a moment. She didn't expose Yvette on the spot. Instead, she said, "Tell me, what will it take for you to leave Xav? Name your price. I'll pay you accordingly." Those were big words coming out of Daphne's mouth. Yvette laughed, feeling amused.

for three years. Our joint assets are worth at least several billion dollars. Can you offer me that amount?"
Even an established and seasoned actress might not be able to offer that much, let alone Daphne, who was merely somewhat famous overseas but had nothing substantial to her name. Daphne gritted her teeth at Yvette's dismissive gaze.
After all, Yvette had once In the most treasured princess of the Snyder family. Back then, money had been just a number to her. Rufus Snyder, Yvette's grandfather, had once been hailed as the richest man in Tirion.
But now, Yvette was just a soon-to-be divorcée who was no longer wanted by her husband. The thought made Daphne feel better.
With a smirk, she said, "You have no idea who sent me to look for you.
"Madam Shannon specifically told me that no amount of money is an issue as long as you agree to the divorce. We'll just consider it charity." "Charity, huh?" Yvette scoffed internally.
She thought back to when Shannon had arranged for her to marry Xavier.
Back then, Shannon had kept emphasizing that only
someone from the Snyder family was worthy of Xavier. She had even said that she would treat Yvette like her own daughter.
At that moment, Yvette decided that enough was enough. She

wouldn't be a pushover this time. "Then, bring the money first, and we'll talk."
Even without giving it a thought, she knew Shannon wouldn't fork out the money.
As she left, Daphne's warning echoed behind her. "You'll regret this."

In the middle of the night, Yvette was woken up by a phone call.
She answered the call and heard Xavier's low, icy voice from the other end. "I've thought too highly of you, Yvette. How many billions of dollars do you want? You disappeared for a few days, and this is all you came up with?"
