NovelOnlineSeeing how Xavier was sitting alone at the side, Zayden still wanted to mess with him. He remembered how arrogant Xavier had been before he'd gotten into an accident. Zayden glanced at Jeremiah once more and noticed how he showed no signs of standing up for Xavier. So, he confidently walked toward Xavier with a glass of wine in his hand.
"Xavier, drink this glass of wine I'm holding now and apologize to me. Then, I shall forget everything you've done in the past." He swirled the glass of wine and spat in it before handing it to Xavier. When the latter heard that, he didn't even raise his head.
Seeing how Xavier was ignoring him, Zayden becinfuriated. He bent down and said with a low voice, "Do you think you're still the sXavier from before? I can squash you like an ant right now, so you better listen to me." Everyone else looked toward them, but no one dared to help Xavier. He slowly clenched his fists tighter. Just as he was about to punch Zayden, he suddenly heard a familiar voice. "Xav, why did you calone without for me?" It was Yvette. Upon arriving, she'd noticed Xavier was sitting in the corner and being bullied. She thought about how he'd helped her before.

When Xavier heard her voice, he immediately relaxed his fists and stood up. Then, he pretended to look pitiful as he walked to her. "Yvvy, I thought you weren't coming." When she suddenly appeared, everyone's gazes fell on them.
Even Jeremiah, who'd been seated at the table and drinking his coffee, looked at them as well. He gulped slightly, and it felt like the coffee in his hand had started to boil.
Yvette stood next to Xavier and habitually held his hand. Then, she looked at Zayden's perverse face. "Zayden, Xav is still recovering, so he can't have any alcohol. You should drink that yourself." She'd seen how Zayden had spat into the glass of wine earlier. The Lane family really had opened her eyes. She couldn't believe they were bullying a blind person. Was this what a wealthy family was supposed to be like? Zayden hadn't thought Yvette would actually dare to attend the dinner. Seeing how she was dressed up glamorously, she didn't look like the ugly duckling from before.
"Since he can't drink, you should drink in his place as his wife!" He wanted to use this opportunity to embarrass Xavier for how the latter had humiliated him in the past.
Zayden brought the wine near Yvette's mouth. If she didn't dare to drink it, they would never let her and Xavier walk out of the mansion in one piece.
She looked at the glass of wine in front of her and saw how everyone was watching the commotion. Then, she decided to accept the drink. Before she could reach out, they heard a cold voice. "That's enough." It was Jeremiah. He stood up and walked toward the three of them.
"Since it's the New Year, let's not make things ugly." His voice sounded gentle yet threatening at the stime. Zayden looked at Jeremiah, who looked exactly like Xavier, and he unwillingly stopped what he was doing.

After Zayden stopped what he was doing, everything seemed to have om returned to normal. However, ghto normal although Yvette was wearing a hearing aid, she still heard how the crowd was mocking them. "One's blind, while the other's deaf. I guess they are a perfect match now."
As a blind person, Xavier could hear them perfectly with his great hearing. However, he was calmer than usual at that moment. He said with a smile, "Yvvy, here's the cake you usually like. See? I've kept sfor you." het
Yvette looked down and saw the small cake she liked a lot on the table in front of him. She wondered if this was the sXavier from before. Was he still the man who would Heave her without saying anything after people mocked her for being deaf and him for being married to her? X
