After hearing what Eustace said, Danika was surprised.She didn’t expect that Eustace had already seen a psychiatrist.
While feeling relieved, she still had some worries.
Since a psychiatrist was already involved, why was Eustace still in his current state? Danika didn’t know much about psychology, so she didn’t comment much.
“That’s good,” she said.
She didn’t insist on Eustace seeing the psychiatrist she recommended.She believed things would eventually get better as long as he continued to see a doctor.
The two didn’t discuss the matter any further.
After dinner, Danika got up to clean the dishes and left Eustace’s place after washing them.
Danika was just about to take a shower and call it a day when she got home, but someone knocked on her door loudly.
Before she could even ask who was there, a drunken voice sounded from outside.
“Danika! Open the door! You’ve ruined everything for me.Are you happy now? I got divorced from Sam because of you.I would’ve been Eustace’s wife if it weren’t for you.I wouldn’t have ended up in this miserable state!”The person outside the door shouted and pounded on Danika’s door relentlessly.Danika didn’t want to deal with Yvonne, but it was already late, and she was making quite the ruckus.If this went on, Danika’s neighbors would surely complain.
Thinking of that, Danika reluctantly opened the door.
She could immediately smell the alcohol on Yvonne, which caused her to frown and think, “My goodness, how much did she drink?”
Across from Danika’s unit, Eustace also heard Yvonne’s voice.He opened his door with a grim expression.
Yvonne looked at Danika, then at Eustace, and tearfully walked toward him, saying, “Eustace, I divorced Sam.”
Eustace didn’t give her any response.
“We were good friends once.Please help me out one last time, Eustace, ” Yvonne pleaded.
There was no way she would submit to fate and become poor.
She believed that with Eustace’s help, she could be successful no matter what business she did.
Unfortunately, Eustace had already run out of patience when it came to dealing with Yvonne.
“Do you know why you still have the chance to stand here?” Yvonne was stunned and didn’t answer.
“It’s because I once regarded you as a friend.That was the sole reason why I showed you mercy.Otherwise, based on what you did to Danika, you would’ve died many times over,” Eustace said frostily.
He spoke his words so coldly that Yvonne couldn’t help but shiver.
“Have you forgotten about the days when you were struggling? I was the one who was with you, not Danika or anyone else.It was me! Why do you think I had to deal with Danika? It’s all because of you,” she shouted at Eustace angrily.
Her heated outburst didn’t stir any emotion in Eustace.He simply looked at her with an unbothered expression.
“Disappear from Danika’s sight immediately, or I’ll see to it myself.” Eustace thought he was already merciful enough toward Yvonne.
Although Yvonne was very drunk, she could still feel the chill emanating from Eustace.Her fight-or-flight instinct kicked in, and she dared not say another word to Eustace.
However, that didn’t mean she would leave.She turned around and closed in on Danika.
“It was you! You ruined me!” she shouted at Danika as if trying to vent her anger.
Too bad for her, Danika didn’t feel guilty for her sorry state at all.
She looked at Yvonne calmly and said, “It wasn’t me who ruined you; it was you who ruined yourself.”
If it weren’t for her twisted thoughts, how could she have come to this?
Yvonne couldn’t understand what Danika had pointed out.
Even if she did, she adamantly refused to accept it as the truth.
“Do you think you’ve won? Do you think Eustace really loves you that much?” Yvonne asked.
She then scoffed, “His heart belongs to Quinn, and you’re just a substitute!”
Eustace’s expression changed in an instant.He’d been wondering who would’ve told Danika about Quinn, but now it seemed Yvonne played a part in it.
“Shut up!” Eustace bellowed as he moved toward Yvonne.
“What are you doing? Do you intend to kill me so that I’ll be silenced?” Yvonne asked and laughed at her own question.
She never imagined that she and Eustace would face off like this one day.
Eustace was now standing in front of Yvonne, ready to strike, but Danika stepped forward and stopped him.
“Don’t waste your energy on someone like her,” Danika said.
Looking at Yvonne, she continued calmly, “For me, there is no victory or defeat. I rely on myself. I don’t care about the relationship between Eustace and Quinn, and I’m not afraid of losing Eustace as well. Yvonne, do you understand?”
She was strong and could stand on her own two feet, so she wasn’t afraid of losing anyone.
Yvonne understood what she meant. She once dreamed of being someone like that, but she couldn’t achieve it herself.
Therefore, she didn’t believe that Danika could do it either.
“Easy for you to say. Are you sure you got to where you are today without Eustace’s help?”
Yvonne sneered, not convinced by Danika’s words at all.
Danika was about to speak, but Yvonne interrupted her, “The Dickmans were taken over because Eustace intervened. It wouldn’t have happened if he didn’t stop the Blooms. Wasn’t your clothing design company used to be mine? Can you really say that you haven’t relied on Eustace at all?”
Yvonne thought she had hit Danika where it hurt with her sharp words. However, Danika didn’t care, nor was she angry.
“Eustace’s collaboration with my elder brother has nothing to do with me. I got the company…” She paused, then smiled helplessly.
“Why am I telling you all this? You have it in your mind that I relied on Eustace to get to where I am. No matter how much I explain, you won’t believe it.” She felt stupid trying to persuade Yvonne.
Why was she doing something so meaningless? Danika turned to Eustace.
“Get some rest. Don’t mind her. If she bangs on the door again, I’ll just call for security.”
“Alright. You go ahead first.” He had to make sure Danika was back in her unit safely before he could relax.
Danika didn’t oppose him. She walked in and closed the door, ignoring Yvonne’s sharp glare.
As soon as the door closed, Eustace’s gentle demeanor from just a second ago vanished completely.
His face turned cold and grim as he asked, “Yvonne, do you really think you didn’t get married to me because Danika appeared in my life?”
Yvonne didn’t reply, but in her heart, she believed so.
“I’ll tell you the truth. Even without Danika, I would never have married you.”
He felt it necessary to make it clear to her so she would stop holding onto unrealistic fantasies. His words were somewhat hurtful to Yvonne.
“But we used to be so good—”
“You thought it that way on your own.To me, you were just an ordinary friend.”
He didn’t want to give her any hope.
“So it was just all in my head?”
She really did think she could marry Eustace back then.She thought she was different from other women in Eustace’s eyes.But now it seemed she’d been foolish to think that.
Besides Danika, Eustace didn’t seem genuine in his feelings toward anyone else.
“Eustace, you will face retribution for this!” Yvonne cursed and walked away.
No one would take what she said seriously.
Eustace didn’t, and not even Yvonne herself.
When she came to think of it, what kind of retribution would really lead someone like Eustace to his doom? She left the Perry Residence and stood on the side of the road, not knowing where she could go or who she could turn to.
The Dickmans were gone, and she’d divorced Sam.
The world was such a big place, but there was no place for her.
“How ridiculous!” Yvonne sneered inwardly.
She was once the proud young lady of the Dickman family.She was at the top of the world, yet, she fell from grace because she fell for Eustace.
Standing under the streetlamp, she looked around in confusion.
In her drunkenness, she was a little unsteady on her feet.
She held on to the pole, and it was unclear what she was thinking.
Following a loud rumble, several motorcycles stopped in front of her.
Someone got off one of them and approached her.
“Hey, pretty.You look like you need a place to crash.Come on, I’ll take you in.”
Yvonne raised her head and looked at the man in front of her.His striking red hair failed to leave a good first impression on her.
“Get lost!”
“Oh, she’s quite fierce.I like that.”
